What are three changes Walter Camp did to soccer to make football?

In: Football - American, American Football History [Edit categories]

Answer:

Walter Camp didn't invent American football out of soccer. American football was already developing -- Camp just added innovations that began to move American football away from rugby, including rules for down and distance, a system of points for scoring, and the establishment of 11 players per side. Camp was also one of only many early pioneers who pushed for the legalization of the forward pass.
