That distinction would go to Walter Camp in 1879. Legend has it that during the Yale-Princeton game, as he was being tackled, Camp threw a football forward to the Elis' Oliver Thompson who ran for a touchdown. Princeton protested. The referee, not knowing what to call, tossed a coin and then made the decision to allow the touchdown.
It wasn't invented. In the original game that Webb Ellis would have played the rule was that a player could kick ahead or they could stand still pick up the ball and pass backward only . Running with the ball was not allowed. As with the rule of 1843 and now the player holding the ball may (1) pass laterally to another team member or
(b) behind themselves to a fellow player. A ball deemed to have gone forward by accident is an offence and a scrummage occurs with the defending team now having the ball. In the case of a deliberate forward pass it can be sanctioned with a penalty

There was no single school that invented it. Most of the schools who played football in the early days tried it now and then, at least as far back as an 1876 game between Harvard and Yale. The forward pass was legalized in 1906, and Bradbury Robinson of St. Louis University is credited with throwing the first legal forward pass that season.
Eugene "Stoney" Willis, quarterback for Western Maryland College against Boston College to tie the game that was featured in a large photograph appearing in The Boston Herald on November 12, 1932. As noted by team captain, Hal Kopp (Class of 1933) this article proved that the WMC quarterback "was the first to use the famed 'Shovel Pass' in its present form." The Boston Herald article noted , "Just as Flavio Tosi appeared to have Willis in his grasp, tall Gene popped the shovel pass to Dunn and Jimmy was off again."
yes. You must make the team first though.

For the purpose of this exercise the team names are A and B. Start of Game TEAM A has won the toss and takes the first centre pass, pencil an E (evens) in the first box below their name on the score card. Team A will always have this pass during the first quarter when the Total of goals scored is an even number. TEAM B will be O (odds). Pencil the "O" in the box underneath their name on the scorecard. After the first goal, Team B has the next centre pass, e.g., score is 1 / 0 (1+0) = odds. Team B will always have this pass during the first quarter, when the Total of goals scored is an odd number. Example First Quarter Score 0-0 (evens) - first centre pass Team A 1-0 (odds) - next centre pass Team B 2-0 (evens) - next centre pass Team A etc. Re-Starting After ¼, ½ and ¾ Time There are two possibilities - if the score is say 10-8 1. If a goal was scored prior to the end of the quarter and the next centre pass had not been thrown - In this case the centre pass in the second half will remain the same, i.e. Team A on `evens' and Team B on `odds'. Example- score 10-8 = 18 First pass in next quarter is Team A. Team A remain `evens', Team B on `odds' or 2. The ball is in play when the whistle goes to end the quarter - In this case CHANGE the 'odds' and 'evens'. Team A will change to "odds". Team B to "evens" giving Team B the next Centre Pass. Pencil these changes in the square boxes below those you wrote in for the first quarter. Example- score 10-8. The ball was in play from Team A's Centre Pass (following the 18th goal), so in order to keep with alternative passes the odds and evens are changed thus giving Team B which is now on "evens" the first centre pass after the interval. Please Note- The International Rules of Netball states in rule 12.1.4 If at a Centre Pass the ball is still in the Centre's hands when the Umpire's whistle is blown to signal the end of a quarter or half and provided no infringement by that team has been penalised, that team will take the Centre Pass after the interval.
