First of all, you may ask "who was Walter Camp" and "why is there such
an award"?
Walter Camp is recognized as the "Father of American Football" and one of the giants of football in the US.
It was Camp who developed the game as it is played today. The game evolved from rugby as
it was played in England to what we now recognized a football in the US.
Camp is credited with the play from scrimmage, the numerical assessment
of goals and tries, the restriction of play to eleven men per side, set
plays, and strategy features which have led to the development of the
fast, interesting, and organized game which we enjoy so much today.
