Cambridge Rules
The Cambridge Rules were a code of football rules first drawn up at Cambridge University, England, in 1848, by a committee that included H. de Winton and J. C. Thring. They are also notable for allowing goal kicks, throw-ins, and forward passes and for preventing running whilst holding the ball. These rules influenced the development of Association football, and subsequent codes. In 1863, a revision of the rules played a significant part in developing the rules that became Association football.
