In 1855, the U.S. inventor Charles Goodyear – who had patented vulcanised rubber – exhibited a spherical football, with an exterior of vulcanised rubber panels, at the Paris Exhibition Universelle. The ball was to prove popular in early forms of football in the U.S. [82] The offense has four tries, called downs, to move the ball at least 10 yards. If the offense fails to do this, the other team gets the ball. If the offense does move the ball 10 yards or more, it gets another four downs. This continues until the offense scores, the defense takes away the ball, or time runs out. Allaway, Roger (2001). "Were the Oneidas playing soccer or not?". The USA Soccer History Archives.
