WILLIAM WEBB ELLIS,
FATHER Of FOOTBALL
Carried Bail in Violation of Rules
and Was Tackled by Enraged
Opponents.

The origin Of organized football is
located in the eighteenth century, but
the precise period has passed into
oblivion with those who participated.
One of the farthest and most authentic
reaches into the past IS contained in
the recolIections Of Mathew Bloxam,
published in the Rugby Meteor for
December, 1850 Mathew BI0xam was
at Rugby in 1913 Writing Of football
in his time, he says: 1.-The procedure
at Bigside Of football was as follows:
When all had assembled in the close,
two of the best players IN the school
commenced choosing IN, one for each
side. AFTER choosing III about Il score
on each side, a somewhat rude division
was made OF the remaining Tags. half
OF whom were sent to keep goal on one
side, the other half 10 the opposite goal
Tor the same purpose, Few and simple
were the rules Of the game. Touch
on the sides Of the ground was marked
out and no one was allowed to run with
the ball III his grasp toward the opp0
site goal. 1t was football and not hand
ball, with plenty Of hacking. but little
Struggling"
From this description it appears that
football up to Mathew BloAam : tim
had been developing along lines similar
to those at Westminster and elsewhere
particularly as to the rule against ear
rying the bail. But there came a crisI

to ask for the works of a certain au-

The boy went home chagrined, for he
did not know Latin, being sickly
