How did the game “Rugby” come into being? 5. What were the changes introduced into football after the 1870s? Key to questions 1. Ancient Romans, Chinese, and Mexicans all played a game where men kicked a ball. For the Romans, it was a war game, in which two teams of soldiers used whatever force was necessary to kick the ball across either of two defended lines. 2. The rich young schoolboys saved the game from extinction. As they had nowhere to hunt, fish, ride or otherwise use up their energies at school, they played the game they had often seen played on the village greens. Therefore, the game that kings had banned gradually evolved in its own special style and rules. 3. When the schoolboys took the game to universities, they needed other rules so that students from different schools could play together successfully. This resulted in the Football Association (FA), which aimed at making football a universal game. 4. When the FA tried to make the game a standard one, one of the schools which was called Rugby refused to co-operate. They objected to the new game and wanted to play the game with their own oval-shaped ball that could be carried as well as kicked. Thus, football and rugby developed in their separate ways. 5. The goal was standardized with a crossbar replacing a long piece of rope. The goalkeeper was the only person permitted to use his hands to play. 2.
