Football was introduced to North Dakota by Professor H. L. Bolley, one of the first professors at NDAC, specialties in botany and plant pathology and Purdue’s first quarterback. In 1890, Professor M.A. Brannon of UND, a Wabash University graduate and a past football opponent of Bolley’s, challenged NDAC to a football game. As Bolley related, it took him three years before he could get enough students for the game. NDAC won both games in 1894 (both of which UND protested) and split in 1895.
