A vintage illustration of the Rugby School House Balls, seasons made 100 years behind William Webb Ellis’s famous exploit shows the modern plum shaped ball as Mr Bennett calls it. It must be remembered that earlier the exploit of William Webb Ellis in 1823, football, as played at Rugby, had already a distinctive feature in that a goal was scored by kicking the ball over the crossbar of the goal posts and not simply through the goal posts as in other games of football, and the subsequent passage from Tom Brown’s Schooldays will be of interest The Story of the Rugby Ball. Our old patterns in use at the time of the formation of the Rugby Football Union in 1871 shows that the ball was still this shape though not quite so rounded at the ends.

There is no record as to when the Rugby ball beginning began to assume its oval shape probably some years prior 1823. Match programmed then become imperative especially when players wore tour numbers
