The Effects of British Football During the Industrial Revolution
39
Things were very different in other societies. In public schools the students were allowed to play freely without the teachers caring. Later on, their parents were getting concerned about their child's health; so the schools had to start making some rules about playing this combination of soccer and rugby fearing the students would change schools. In 1845, some students decided it was finally time to lay some ground rules to the game. In 1849 at a school called Eton, the game had split into two sports allowing the ball to be carried in rugby, and the ball to be kicked in soccer. These students took this to university. There were many attempts at laying down several rules in the 1840's-50's but finally in 1863 at Cambridge University they established fair rules that included no bone crushing tackles or ball handling. At the end of 1863 Britain came together and created the FA (Football Association) and the Cambridge rules were applied to this game. These rules that were developed didn't suit everybody so some people left and went to play the rugby version of the game.
