Why are balls round?
There are two reasons for this: * Firstly, a spherical ball will bounce more predictably. Some games use non-spherical balls (such as American Football or rugby) and part of the game is the non-predictability of the bounce. * The other thing is that if you inflate anything it will tend to form a sphere; with a sphere the pressure inside the ball is equal throughout the inside of the ball - this is why when bubbles are blown, the are always spheres. It isn't that a ball is round. It's that we call a round thing a ball (or sphere).

Who is webb Ellis and why is he known in rugby?
William Web Ellis didnt actually get an idea for the game of Rugby . In 1823 when Ellis was in Rugby School Warwickshire England they player football there (soccer) . The rules were very few but it did allow the ball to be handled but the ball carrier had to run backward toward their own players to pass the ball. Ellis during one game decided that he would not follow this rule and when he picked up the ball ran FORWARD toward the opposing teams goals. This idea caught on in the school and as the students left they carried on handling the ball but then passed it backward to fellow players (as we see in today's game) When the game progressed throughout the universities the Rugby Students continues to use the ball carrying concept. Eventually the football Association decided that handling would not be allowed (as we see in soccer today) But those who liked this game decided not to join the Associated but to set up their own UNION this becamee The Rugby Football Union and remains so today.
