Specifically, on football in the early years of the 20th century: http://www.npr.com/. Seems the brutal violence only eased up when the passing game came into play.
Interesting quotes from former CSA General Mosby. Mosby had a helluva career after his spectacular service in the War Between the States, becoming a U.S. Senator and even leading a charge after he was activated into the U.S. Army during the Spanish American War. It was there that he yelled the famous, "C'mon boys, we've got those Yankees on the run!" before tear-assing after the Spaniards. Old habits are hard to break.
