Scrap helmets and pads, improve safety and technique
1895 seemingly in a tar heels game....interesting how the referee's just decided they would turn a blind eye to it then they pushed for it's inception and initially it was to improve safety as well, due to illegal formations and dirty scrimmaging tactics....I assume the positions of strong safety, safety and free safety not only came about because of heisman's revolutionary rule change but also because the position was made to be a safety in the backfield for deep throws....
