The earliest footballs used in the US were usually bladders from pigs that were inflated and encased in rubber. In 1876, the Intercollegiate Football Association made changes in the shape and makeup of the football from a round shape encased in rubber to an egg shape encased in leather.

Can a football roll?
All types of footballs roll, as they have curved surfaces. Some footballs (soccer) are nearly spherical and will roll for greater distances. Rugby and Australian footballs are rounder and will roll farther than the tapered US footballs. Even the US and Canadian balls can roll for dozens of meters (yards) under the proper circumstances.

Are there images of old basketball balls?
Old-time basketballs were made of leather (as US footballs are still made), with inflatable bladders inside. However, the laces were eventually eliminated as unnecessary and a problem when dribbling the ball. The move was made to a smooth, spherical ball using an interior air valve, beginning around 1942. (Some photos of old balls are at the related links.)
