"Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" is a song performed and co-written by American singer-songwriter Christopher Cross, which was the main theme for the 1981 film Arthur starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. The song won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1982.[1] In the US, it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the Hot Adult Contemporary charts during October 1981, remaining at the top on the Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks. Overseas, it also went to number one on the VG-lista chart in Norway, and was a top ten hit in several other countries. The song became the second and last American number one hit by Christopher Cross.[2] It was included as a bonus track only on the CD & Cassette versions of his second album Another Page, released in 1983.
The B-side of record, "Minstrel Gigolo," was the same song used on the back of Cross's debut single, "Ride Like the Wind."
Indie pop band Fitz and The Tantrums recorded a cover of this song for the soundtrack to the 2011 remake of the film.

Background[edit]
The song was written in collaboration between Cross, pop music composer Burt Bacharach, and Bacharach's frequent writing partner and then wife Carole Bayer Sager. A fourth writing credit went to Minnelli's ex-husband and Australian songwriter Peter Allen,[1] also a frequent collaborator with Bayer Sager: the line "When you get caught between the moon and New York City" from the chorus was taken from an unreleased song Allen and Bayer Sager had previously written together.[3] Allen came up with the line while his plane was in a holding pattern during a night arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport.[4]
The song won the 1981 Academy Award for Best Original Song,[1] and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.[5] In 2004 it finished at #79 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of the top tunes in American cinema. In 2008, Barry Manilow released a cover version.
Music video[edit]
The music video consisted of two acts, which are edited together in fade outs. Christopher Cross in one offers the song with some studio musicians in a recording studio and the other is the story the song illustrates.[6]

List of historically significant college football games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The following is a list of historically significant college football games. Games included on this list are single college football games that have historical impact to the sport of college football.
Inclusion on this list requires games of significant historical "firsts" and/or otherwise significant impact to the sport itself, such as significant rules changes or initiation of long-standing ceremony. Historically significant games should be prominently discussed in major historical accounts of college football. Games that may be significant only to a particular team's fan base should not be listed here.
Games are listed in chronological order. The name of the winning team is in bold.

Notes
1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers football game Rutgers New Jersey (Princeton) New Brunswick, New Jersey 6–4[1] Considered the first American football game ever played.
1872 Rutgers vs. Columbia football game Columbia Rutgers New York, New York 0–0 First football game to end with a tie score.[2]
1874 Harvard vs. McGill football game Harvard McGill Cambridge, Massachusetts 0–0 First rugby football game in the United States.[3] Harvard played three games against McGill. The first was the first college football game in Massachusetts (but did not use a rugby-style ball, as was used in this game), the second this game, and the third the earliest known in Canada.
1875 Tufts vs. Harvard football game Harvard Tufts Cambridge, Massachusetts 0-1 Considered the first modern style American football game ever played in the United States. Significant rule changes made it far more modern than previous games, including each side fielding 11 men at any given time, the ball was advanced by kicking or carrying it, and tackles of the ball carrier stopped play.[4]
1879 Michigan vs. Racine football game Michigan Racine College Chicago, Illinois 1–0 Organized football first played in the state of Illinois. The Chicago Daily Tribune called it "the first rugby-football game to be played west of the Alleghenies."[5]
1880 Kentucky University vs. Centre football game Kentucky University Centre Lexington, Kentucky (Stoll Field) 13¾–0 Organized football was first played in the state of Kentucky when Kentucky University defeated Centre. The first game in the south.
1884 Lafayette vs. Lehigh football game Lafayette Lehigh Easton, Pennsylvania 56-0 First game of the Lehigh-Lafayette rivalry, the most-played rivalry in American college football history.[6]
1884 Dartmouth vs. Yale football game Dartmouth Yale Hanover, New Hampshire 113–0 First game where one team scored over 100 points; also the first time one team scored over 100 points and the opposing team was shut out.[7] The next week, Princeton outscored Lafayette by 140 to 0.[8]
1887 Virginia vs. Pantops football game Virginia Pantops Academy Virginia 0-0 Organized football was first played in the state of Virginia.[9] Students at UVA were playing pickup games of the kicking-style of football as early as 1870, and some accounts even claim that some industrious ones organized a game against Washington and Lee College in 1871, just two years after Rutgers and Princeton's historic first game in 1869. But no record has been found of the score of this contest.
1890 Kansas vs. Baker football game Baker Kansas Baldwin City, Kansas 22–9 Organized football was first played in the state of Kansas.[10]
1890 Navy vs. Army football game Army Navy West Point, New York 0-24 First Army–Navy Game

Reeves had a crude leather helmet made by a local shoemaker/blacksmith and wore it in this game after being warned by doctors that he risked death if he continued to play football after suffering a kick to the head in an earlier game.[citation needed]
1894 Chicago vs. Stanford football game Stanford Chicago San Francisco, California 4-24 First intersectional contest.[14]
1895 Georgia vs. North Carolina football game Georgia North Carolina Atlanta, Georgia 0-6 The first forward pass, though years before the legal forward pass of 1906.
1895 Oklahoma City vs. Oklahoma football game Oklahoma Oklahoma City Norman, Oklahoma 0-34 First college football game in Oklahoma Territory.[15][16]
1897 Ohio State vs. Michigan Ohio State Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 0–34 First Ohio State-Michigan game.[17]
1897 École des Beaux-Arts vs. Académie Julian football game ? ? Paris, France ? Considered the first American football game ever played in Europe.[18][19][20][21][22]
1901 Stetson vs. Florida Agricultural College at Lake City Stetson Florida Agricultural College Jacksonville, Florida 6–0 The first intercollegiate game in Florida, played as part of the Jacksonville Fair.[23]
1902 Georgetown vs. Navy football game Navy Georgetown Annapolis, Maryland 0-4 Claimed by Georgetown authorities as the game with the first ever "roving center" or linebacker when Percy Given stood up, in contrast to the usual tale of Germany Schulz.[24]

1905 Michigan vs. Chicago football game Chicago Michigan Chicago, Illinois 2-0 Dubbed "The First Greatest Game of the Century,"[26] broke Michigan's 56-game unbeaten streak and marked the end of the "Point-a-Minute" years.
1905 Washburn vs. Fairmount football game Fairmount Washburn Wichita, Kansas 0–0 Game using several "experimental rules" that were tested before implementing major nationwide rules changes and the formation of the NCAA.[27] This game had the first "legal" forward pass for a college team, but only because of the new experimental rules created just for this game.
1906 Saint Louis vs. Carroll football game Carroll (Wisconsin) Saint Louis Waukesha, Wisconsin 0-22 First regular season game with the first legal forward pass.[28]
1906 Carlisle vs. Vanderbilt football game Vanderbilt Carlisle Nashville, Tennessee 4-0 The south's first great intersectional triumph; by a single drop kick.[14]

1910 Vanderbilt vs. Yale football game Yale Vanderbilt New Haven, Connecticut 0–0 Vanderbilt battles defending national champion Yale to a scoreless tie. The south's first triumph against one of the 'big four' Eastern powers.[14]

1916 Cumberland vs. Georgia Tech football game Georgia Tech Cumberland Atlanta, Georgia 222–0 Most lopsided victory in college football history.[32]
1921 West Virginia vs. Pittsburgh football game Pittsburgh West Virginia Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 21–13 First live radio broadcast of a college football game when Harold W. Arlin announced that year's Backyard Brawl played at Forbes Field on KDKA on October 8, 1921.[33]
1921 Centre vs. Harvard football game Harvard Centre Boston, Massachusetts 0–6 Widely considered one of the greatest upsets in college football history.[34]
1922 Michigan vs. Vanderbilt football game Vanderbilt Michigan Nashville, Tennessee 0–0 Michigan coach Fielding Yost and Vanderbilt coach Dan McGugin were brothers-in-law, and the latter the protege of the former. The inaugural game at Dudley Field featured the season's two best defenses. Michigan was a heavy favorite to win but Vandy managed a goal line stand to preserve a tie. The game's result was "a great surprise to the sporting world."[35] It features prominently in Vanderbilt's history.[36] Commodore fans celebrated by throwing some 3,000 seat cushions onto the field.
1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game Chicago Princeton Chicago, Illinois 18-21 First game to be nationally broadcast on radio and considered a hotly contested game. Had Princeton dubbed the "Team of Destiny."[37]

1939 Waynesburg vs. Fordham football game Fordham Waynesburg New York, New York 34–7 First televised football game.[39]
1940 Cornell–Dartmouth football game Dartmouth Cornell Hanover, New Hampshire 3–0 (3–7) Game is known for an officiating error that resulted in a rare postgame reversal of the outcome. Cornell threw an incomplete pass on 4th and goal in the game's final seconds, seemingly ensuring a 3-0 shutout victory by Dartmouth. However, the referees inadvertently allowed Cornell to attempt a "fifth down" play on which Cornell scored an apparent game-winning touchdown. After the error was discovered during postgame film review, Cornell offered to forfeit the game. Dartmouth accepted, marking the only time that the outcome of a college football game was decided off the field.[40]
1941 Oklahoma City vs. Youngstown football game Youngstown State Oklahoma City Youngstown, Ohio 48–7 First use of the penalty flag by game officials.[41]
1943 Notre Dame vs. Michigan football game Michigan Notre Dame Ann Arbor, Michigan 12–35 First college football game between the #1 (Notre Dame) and #2 (Michigan) teams in the nation, as determined by the AP Poll (since its inception in 1936).[42]
1947 Harvard vs. Virginia football game Virginia Harvard Charlottesville, Virginia 47-0 Harvard tackle Chester Pierce became the first African-American player to play against an all-white team in a game south of the Mason-Dixon Line.[43]

1963 Maryland vs. North Carolina State football game Maryland North Carolina State College Park, Maryland 14-36 Maryland receiver Darryl Hill became the first African-American to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference and the first to play in any of the "big" Southern conferences (ACC, SEC, Southwest Conference).[48]

1967 Kentucky vs. Mississippi football game Kentucky Mississippi Lexington, Kentucky 13-26 Kentucky running back Nathaniel "Nate" Northington became the first African-American athlete to play in a Southeastern Conference game.[50]
1967 UCLA vs. USC football game USC UCLA Los Angeles, California 21-20 National live network color television broadcast of a conference championship for a Rose Bowl appearance, the two top candidates for the Heisman trophy facing each other in a conference rivalry game, which also was the de facto college national championship.[51][52][53]
1968 Alabama vs. Miami (FL) football game Miami (FL) Alabama Miami, Florida 6-14 First regular-season college football game nationally televised in prime time.[54]
1968 Yale vs. Harvard football game Harvard Yale Allston, Massachusetts 29–29 Both teams entered their season-ending rivalry game undefeated and untied, with the Ivy League championship on the line. Down 22–0 in the first half, Harvard made an improbable comeback and tied the game — including 16 unanswered points in the final minute. The game is the subject of the documentary film Harvard Beats Yale 29-29, a reference to the Harvard Crimson headline.[55]
1970 USC vs. Alabama football game Alabama USC Birmingham, Alabama 21-42 USC opened the season visiting the University of Alabama under legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and became the first fully integrated team to play in the state of Alabama.[56] The game, scheduled by Bryant, resulted in a domineering 42–21 win by the Trojans. More importantly, all six touchdowns scored by USC team were by African-American players, two by USC running back Sam "Bam" Cunningham, against an all-white Crimson Tide team.[57] The game hastened the racial integration of football at Alabama and in the South.[58]
1971 TCU vs. Baylor football game Baylor TCU Waco, Texas 27-34 On October 30, 1971 TCU coach Jim Pittman collapsed on the sideline in Waco shortly after the annual game between the Horned Frogs and Bears began. The game was continued after Coach Pittman was taken by private car to the hospital as the ambulance had already taken a dizzy school official to the hospital and had not yet returned. Coach Pittman was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The TCU and Baylor players were informed at halftime, and it was decided to honor Coach Pittman's memory by finishing the game, which TCU rallied to win 34-27. This remains the first, and to date only, time in college football history that a coach died on the field during a game.[59][60][61][62]
1975 Ohio State vs. Minnesota Ohio State Minnesota Columbus, Ohio 38-6 In a game that saw the Ohio State Buckeyes win 38-6 against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, eventual two-time Heisman trophy winner Archie Griffin rushes for 124 yards,[63] setting the current NCAA record for Most Consecutive Games Gaining 100 Yards or More in a Career
1976 Pioneer Bowl Morgan State Grambling Tokyo, Japan (Korakuen Stadium) 16-42 First college football game played in Asia.[64]
1982 Northwestern vs. Northern Illinois football game Northwestern Northern Illinois Evanston, Illinois 31-6 Northwestern ends its 34-game losing streak,[65] which remains the longest losing streak in FBS/1-A history.
1982 California–Stanford football game California Stanford Berkeley, California 25–20 Game is well known for its final play, known simply as "The Play" - a kickoff return in which California used a series of laterals to score the game-winning touchdown as time expired. Thinking that the game was over, Stanford's marching band had come out onto the field before the play had concluded. The picture of California's Kevin Moen plowing into oblivious Stanford trombone player Gary Tyrrell upon scoring the game-winning touchdown remains one of the most iconic images in college football. "The Play" is recognized as one of the most memorable plays in college football history.[66] In addition, it denied Stanford quarterback John Elway and the rest of the team a chance to play in a bowl game. Stanford and California fans continue to dispute the results.
1983 Oregon State vs. Oregon football game Oregon Oregon State Eugene, Oregon 0-0 Last scoreless tie in NCAA Division I-A. Often referred to as the "Toilet Bowl", the game featured 11 turnovers and four missed field goal attempts.[67]
1987 Fiesta Bowl Penn State Miami (FL) Tempe, Arizona 14–10 Game is known for changing the landscape of college football bowl games. Due to the bidding war that began, and both Penn State and Miami being independent, the Fiesta Bowl won out and then became a high-profile bowl. It is also the highest rated championship game in history, recording a 24.9 Nielson rating (more than 70 million viewers); no college football game has gotten that kind of ratings, before or since. This game was billed as the classic good versus evil matchup. Highlighted by Penn State's defense intercepting Heisman Trophy winner Vinny Testaverde five times including one with 18 seconds left near the end zone.[68]
1990 Colorado–Missouri football game Missouri Colorado Columbia, Missouri 31–33 Game is known for an officiating error that had far-reaching implications. On the game's final drive, the referees inadvertently allowed Colorado to attempt a "fifth down" play on which the Buffaloes scored the game-winning touchdown as time expired. Aided in part by the controversial victory, Colorado completed a 10-win season and was awarded the AP National Championship.[69]
1992 SEC Championship Game Florida Alabama Birmingham, Alabama 21–28 The SEC had expanded to 12 schools and hosted a conference championship game for the first time in college football history.[70]
1994 Miami (FL) vs. Washington football game Miami (FL) Washington Miami, Florida 20-38 The loss ended Miami's NCAA-record 58-game home winning streak.[71]
1995 Illinois vs. Wisconsin football game Wisconsin Illinois Madison, Wisconsin 3-3 Last tie game in NCAA Division I-A.[72]
1995 Las Vegas Bowl Nevada Toledo Whitney, Nevada 37-40 First overtime game in NCAA Division I-A.[73]
1997 Linfield vs. Willamette football game Willamette Linfield Salem, Oregon 27–0 Kicker Liz Heaston becomes the first woman to play and score points in a college football game[74]
1998 Bethune-Cookman vs. Virginia State football game Bethune-Cookman Virginia State Daytona Beach, FL 63–57 (8OT) Bethune-Cookman finally defeats Virginia State after 8 overtimes, the longest college football game ever.[75]
1998 Southern vs. Prairie View A&M football game Prairie View A&M Southern (LA) Beaumont, Texas 7-37[76] This was the final loss of the worst losing streak in college football (80 games). However, it also gained infamy from a brawl between the two schools' marching bands during the halftime show that resulted in the suspension of both bands by the conference for two games.[77]
2001 Cumberland vs. Jacksonville State football game Jacksonville State Cumberland Jacksonville, Alabama 72–10 Ashley Martin becomes the first woman to play and score in a NCAA football game and the second woman to play and score in a college game in any division.[78]
2003 Stillman vs. West Alabama football game West Alabama Stillman Livingston, Alabama 24–17 Tonya Butler becomes the first woman to kick a field goal in a NCAA football game.[79][80]
2005 Fiesta Bowl Pittsburgh Utah Tempe, Arizona 7-35 Utah becomes the first non-BCS Conference team to appear in and win a BCS Bowl game by blowing out Big East champion Pittsburgh 35-7. The performance of Utah QB Alex Smith propelled him to becoming the #1 overall draft pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. Utah would eventually become a member of the Pac-12 Conference in 2011.
2006 Michigan State vs. Northwestern football game Michigan State Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 41-38 The 2006 Michigan State vs. Northwestern football game featured the biggest comeback in NCAA Division I FBS history. The Spartans rallied to score 38 unanswered points to beat the Wildcats 41–38 after falling behind 38–3 with 9:54 left in the 3rd quarter. This is the largest comeback in any game in the history of all of Division I football.[81]
2007 Appalachian State vs. Michigan football game Michigan Appalachian State Ann Arbor, Michigan 32–34 First ever win for a NCAA Division I-AA/FCS team over a ranked Division I-A/FBS opponent. As a result of the loss, #5 ranked Michigan dropped out of the Top 25 AP poll, marking the first time a team had dropped from the top five to out of the poll in one week. In the aftermath of the game, the Associated Press amended their polling policy to make FCS teams eligible for the AP Poll, which had previously been limited to FBS teams.[82]
2007 Navy vs. Notre Dame football game Notre Dame Navy Notre Dame, Indiana 44-46 (3OT) Navy's triple-overtime victory over Notre Dame ended the Fighting Irish's 43-game winning streak over the Midshipmen, which is still the NCAA FBS record for most consecutive victories against one opponent.[83]
2007 Trinity vs. Millsaps football game Millsaps Trinity Jackson, Mississippi 24–28 Commonly called "Lateralpalooza" - Trinity threw 15 laterals and scored a 60-yard touchdown to win a game against the Millsaps Majors as time expired in the game, producing "the longest play in college football history."[84]
2010 Fiesta Bowl Boise State TCU Glendale, Arizona 17-10 First BCS Bowl game played between two non-BCS, or non-AQ, teams, as well as the first BCS bowl game where both teams were undefeated heading into the game. Boise State won the game when Doug Martin got a two-yard touchdown with 7:21 left in the fourth quarter to make it 17-10.
2011 Kilimanjaro Bowl Drake Mexico all stars Moshi, Tanzania 17–7 First college football game played on the African continent[85]
2015 Portland State vs. North Texas football game Portland State North Texas Denton, Texas 66-7 Portland State's 59-point win is the largest margin of victory of a FCS/1-AA team over a FBS/1-A opponent since NCAA Division I football split into two subdivisions in 1978.[86]
2016 Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol Tennessee Virginia Tech Bristol, Tennessee 45–24 Largest single-game attendance in American football history, with 156,990 at Bristol Motor Speedway.[87]
2016 Pittsburgh vs. Syracuse football game[88] Pittsburgh Syracuse Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 76-61 Most points scored in a game involving D-IA/FBS opponents during the regulation four quarters of play since the NCAA began keeping records in 1937.[89]
2017 Howard vs. UNLV football game Howard UNLV Whitney, Nevada 43-40 FCS school Howard was a 45-point underdog to UNLV, making the Bison's 43-40 victory the largest point spread upset in college football history.[90][91]

[edit on Wikidata]
The long bones are those that are longer than they are wide. They are one of five types of bones: long, short, flat, irregular and sesamoid. Long bones, especially the femur and tibia, are subjected to most of the load during daily activities and they are crucial for skeletal mobility. They grow primarily by elongation of the diaphysis, with an epiphysis at each end of the growing bone. The ends of epiphyses are covered with hyaline cartilage ("articular cartilage"). The longitudinal growth of long bones is a result of endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plate. Bone growth in length is stimulated by the production of growth hormone (GH), a secretion of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
The long bones include the femora, tibiae, and fibulae of the legs; the humeri, radii, and ulnae of the arms; metacarpals and metatarsals of the hands and feet, the phalanges of the fingers and toes, and the clavicles or collar bones. The long bones of the human leg comprise nearly half of adult height. The other primary skeletal component of height are the vertebrae and skull.
The outside of the bone consists of a layer of connective tissue called the periosteum. Additionally, the outer shell of the long bone is compact bone, then a deeper layer of cancellous bone (spongy bone) which contains in the medullary cavity the bone marrow.

Structure[edit]
The outer shell of the long bone is made of cortical bone also known as compact bone. This is covered by a membrane of connective tissue called the periosteum. Beneath the cortical bone layer is a layer of spongy cancellous bone. Inside this is the medullary cavity which has an inner core of [[bone marrow]it contains nutrients and help in formation of cells] made up of yellow marrow in the adult and red marrow in the child..
Clinical significance[edit]
There are two congenital disorders of the long bones. In a disorder known as rachitis fetalis anularis the ends of the long bones (epiphyses) are enlarged.[1] Another disorder is known as rachitis fetalis micromelica in which there is a deficiency in the growth (as a shortness) of the bones.[1]
There is a surgical procedure called distraction osteogenesis which is used to lengthen long bones.
