Princeton’s 1907 team went 7-2, shutting out seven opponents while losing to Cornell 6-5 and Yale 12-10. Here the Tigers are kicking the try after goal (aka extra point) against Carlisle. Princeton received five points for each of their three touchdowns that day and made this kick to win 16-0.
Had no idea that the free kick extra point remained without a line of scrimmage into the twenties. This image looks like the defenders did not intend to rush the kicker from the goal line. Was attempting a block prohibited by this time?
