Nathaniel Curtis was a college football player and captain for the Harvard Crimson. Nathaniel Curtis challenged Yale's captain, William Arnold to a rugby-style game in 1875.[1][2] The next season Curtis was captain.[3] He took one look at Walter Camp, then only 156 pounds, and told Yale captain Gene Baker "You don't mean to let that child play, do you? . . . He will get hurt."[4][5]
