COMPLETE A scientific and practical treatise on American football for schools and colleges - choc

[lymiewithpurpose]

A scientific and practical treatise on American football for schools and colleges by Henry L. Williams (1842 - ?) and others.

This project is complete! All audio files are available on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/practical-treatise-on-american-football/

Volunteers outside the USA: Amos Alonzo Stagg died in 1965. The author's work is still protected by copyright in places like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, and Australia (author's death plus 70 years for authors who died after 1955), unless the rule of shorter term applies.

Ever wondered how football has changed over the years? Look no further! This selection of rules, positions, and explanations of how football was played in the late 1800s is sure to leave you with a greater knowledge of the evolution of the sport. ( Campbell Schelp)

  IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
  Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I'll be happy to MC this, Campbell. Back shortly with your MW.

[chocoholic]

OK, you're all set! Have fun recording! I'll leave this in the Launch Pad for a day or two.

[lymiewithpurpose]

Thank you so much! Updated the MW, now we'll see if a DPL comes along

[lymiewithpurpose]

Ok, couldn't help myself; the preface is uploaded

[TriciaG]

You don't have to help yourself; record all you want before you get a DPL.

I'm thinking about DPL'ing, but I'm going to wait until my plate gets cleared off a bit. If you don't have one by April, I'll jump in.

Thank you! And I know I don't have to wait for a DPL, it's just there's some recordings I want to finish for clean up month... just had to indulge and read a little bit of this one !

Thanks, Ethan! If you'd like to be the DPL for this project, just let us know. (No pressure!)

Moving the thread to Going Solo now.

Chapter 1 is up!

I went through and broke up a really long sections into a few shorter ones. There are a few longer sections I may decide to split up later, I just don't know how long they're going to take me yet

[lymiewithpurpose]

Chapter 2 is ready for PL !

[chocoholic]

Great! Have you had the fun of posting an ad in Listeners Wanted yet? You could do it any time, if you like. I'm also happy to do it for you. There's a prooflistening template in one of the stickies at the top of that forum (in case you haven't seen it before).

I have not had the fun of trying it! Let me go try

[lymiewithpurpose]

Ok, I posted it! I think I did it right, it looks good to me!
