Basket Ball Has
Most Unique History
Of Any Modern Sport

Basketball, most youthful Of in
tercollegiate sports, this winter en-
tered upon it's twenty-sixth season.
Compared with golf, tennis, cricket or
even baseball it is still a risky
youngster 1t differs from them, too,
in that it was evolved virtually COM
plete in mans brain before single
mark was ever placed on a gym
nasium floor to define the limits of
the court. It has no traditions. You
will lose your self in antiquity in a
search for the origin of golf or ten
mis-; they have developed into the
highly scientific ,pastimes of to-day
through as definite process of evo-
luton as the human race itself has
undergone, fostered, in great measure,
by the parallel development in
equipment. Even baseball, more rule
bound than it's ancient rivals, is much
more growth than invention. The
distinction makes basketball unique.
1t was the product of theory.
That theory was an idea which cryst-
allied in the mind of James Naismith,
who, in 1891, was instructor in the
gymnasium of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association Training College, at
Springfield, Mass, Naismith saw that
gymnasium work became, as the win
ter progressed, pretty much of bore.
For even their most faithful adher-
ents, continual juggling of dumb-bells
and Indian clubs and Juggling at chest
weight came to lack the enthusiasm
and spontaneity which, more than any
other element, makes physical exer-
else truly beneficial. Why not then,
form of indoor exercise which should
combine muscular effort with "the
rigor of the game" Putting it math-
ematically, Naismith's theorum was
this: Given a gymnasium and class
of healthy young men seeking to
maintain high physical standard
when the weather precludes partici-
patton in violent outdoor athletics, to
develop a form of indoor amusement
which shall satisfy this requirement
of bodily normality and at the same
time provide element of competition
which is impossible in mechanical
gymnasium training. Naismith set
to work. The sole material aspect of
his idea at the outset was the smooth
gymnasium floor and it's four walls.
His game must be attractive, that was
essential. 1t must be such delight
that men-and women-would like to
play it~fer its own sake ard saot Esi=
marty for hygienic results THE chest
weights did that. 1t should be sim
pie and easy to learn, so that the
transmission from class work might
be made Immediately, without any
loss of time in the study of hamper
ing technicalities. 1t should be test
of skill as well as of strength; there
must be room for the development of

Luke M'Luke Says

Think it over and see if you can
recall just one case in which worry
made things any better.
A Kansas judge fines married
DRINKS twice as much as single
DRINKS. This isn't fair. A married
man has lot of reasons for getting
drunk, and what does single man
know about trouble?
Another reason why a man
shouldn't argue with his wife is be-
cause she can think of more mean
things to say than he can.

A West Palisade Ruin

1t is surprising to see how the
human derelict will encroach upon
unprotected buildings. Little by
little some trifling damage is done
until the entire property is destroyed,
or carried away. The office building
at West Palisade is an example.
These wretched pests have smashed
large panes of glass out of the win
dows, have broken out panels in the
doors, forced open the shutters, car
ried away stove bodily, and done
other damage bit by bit. Ruins are
picturesque by all agreement, but they
must be hundreds of years of age to
be admired. A building like the one
under consideration is blot on the
landscape.
