I do not have my books at all, but numbers are not at all required. The rules about illegal substitution that added the 9 yard marks could apply to numbers or a line or "tick mark" in order comply with a legal substitution. The numbers are never required on a field. It is just in recent years that I can pretty much expect numbers on the field. Many fields for years only had lines.

Peace
