Dr. Crawford returned to France this summer to do additional research on American football for a book that he is writing on the history of the sport there. During his time there, he managed to find a great deal of material at the Biblioteque Nationale in Paris, attend the Junior Championship of the Federation Francaise de Football Americain, and also the Casque de Diamante game, which crowned the champion of the Senior division of the FFFA. With his wife Sophie, he also looked for material in Rodez, in the south of France, Chateauroux in the west, and Lille in the north. Aided by a summer research fellowship from the university, he managed to take a significant step toward getting his book project finished.
