Or. James Naisn1ith First Thought Out
 Game of Basketball
By Associated Press

Lawrence, Kan, February 5.-The honor paid to Dr. James A. Naismith by the National Intercollegiate Athletic assocla- tion of America-life membership on the basketball rules committee-comes to him 70 years after he invented the game of basketball. Dr Naismith is head of the department of physical education at the University of Kansas.
 Basketball was the result of a deliber- ate attempt to evolve a game suitable for men to play indoors. In 1891 Dr. Nasmith was in charge of gymnasium class at the Springfield, Mass, r. M. C.. A., then an instructor college for atil- letes and association men. The men en- rolled in the class were football, base ball and track athletes, and became weary of the inside work, consisting or boxing WreStling and swimming

PLANNED NEW GAME

AL meeting of the '. M. C. A. lh- structors someone suggested that inven- tion is merely the use of things at hand. pr. Naismith remarked that invention ot a new game was possible. He concen- trated for weeks this idea.
 Football, lacrosse, hockey, soccer and other games. the doctor concluded, were too rough to be played indoors. He de- cided to work out his new game with Rugby as a basis, eliminating the fea- lures which made it extremely rough Tackling and kicking he found on analysis were at the root of the evil. He eliminated tackling by allowing the player to run when he does not have the ball; and by having the ball passed with hands only, he did away with kicking.
 When the question of goals came up, pr. Naismlth decided he must have re- ceptacles in which to throw the ball This idea was borrowed from the old game of duck on the rock The up- right type of goal obviously could not be used nor any goal which would allow the game to become strenuous by permit ting excessive force in scoring.
 The superintendent of grounds was asked to furnish two boxes, IS inches square But these were not available just then and two peach baskets were offered. Dr. Naismth took these and hung one at each end of the court, using the gallery TOT support. since the HeiSi. of the gallery happened to be 10 feet, that is the present height of the goal
 NINE-MAN TEAMS AT FIRST
 Lacrosse furnished the plan for ar arranging the men on the court. The inventor decided to have the game start ed by throwing up the ball and having one man from each side jump up at it. The team consisted of nine men at first The number was reduced to seven and later to five, as the skill of the men de- veloped.
 Dr. Nalsmth was born in Canada. He is graduate of McGill university and also of the Gross Medical school. He came to the University of Kansas as as sociate professor of physical education in 1898, becoming a full professor in l9E, During the war he served with the |. M C.. A. in France as director of social hygiene for the American expeditionary force Nf-

In Memory of Mrs. J. H. Dyer.

On Sunday evening, May %, at
1880 o'clock, the lovely spirit of Mrs.
Lutte Dyer waited it's way on snowy
wings to the Great Beyond. Soul
and body separated on the hill at
the southeast corner of town under
the shade of many beautiful trees.
and 20 the great surprise of all who
knew her she was on her way to visit
some friends but did not live to get
there. Mrs. Dyer was a dear little
woman, devoted wife and mother,
good friend and neighbor and a
|consecrated christian Nothing but
sickness at home kept her from Wis
iting the sick and doing all she could
for them. She certainly will be
missed.
She leaves husband and one son,
besides brothers and sisters and
friends to mourn her going away.
We would say to the grief-stricken
husband and son. Gladney, weep not,
for she is happy.
Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord.
Funeral services were conducted at
the residence Tuesday, May "a, and
the body laid to rest at East View.
Be still, sad heart, and cease re-
pining;
Behind the clouds the sun is still
shining.
Thy fate is the common fate of all.
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days be dark and dreary.
A FRIEND.

Death Of Miss Eulelah Allen.

Miss Eulelah Allen. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. A. Allen, who has
been very i'll at home in Union City
since early in January, was called to
answer the summons of the death an
gel Tuesday evening, May 81, 1921,
at 4:45 o'clock
Miss Allen has been very i'll during
all these months, suffering probably
as few outside of the immediate fam
lily have been able to realize, but she
was calmly and sweetly resigned, and
trusted wholly in the strength of
God and the love of her Savior.
Miss Allen is survived by her par
ents, sister, Miss Beulah Allen, and
two brothers, George and Claud AL
en-. There were ten children in all.
six having preceded Miss Leila in
death.
Miss Allen was a member of the
Methodist Church and Sunday school
and in other branches of the church
work she was active, young woman
of rare sweet spirit and Christian
graces. She was lovable in the charm
of personal character and esteemed
by everyone. Miss Allen grew up in
Union City, attending our schools.
She was the youngest of the family
and inseparably devoted to her par
ents and they to her. Her illness was
a great trial to both the patient and
the family, but Gods grace was suf-
ficient to them.
Services were held at the residence
on College street Wednesday even
ing at 5 o'clock, conducted by Revs.
E. M. Mathis and R. A. Clark. In
terment at East View Cemetery, with
a loving tribute of beautiful flowers.

The State agents Of the Bureau OF Crop
Estimates, United States Department
OF Agriculture, report that that there
will be a short fruit crop this year. The
shortage will be fairly general east Of the
RockyMountains, except in portions Of
Michigan New York, and New Eng
land. The reports refer particularly to
stone fruits, such as cherries, plums, and
peaches, but also indicate that there will
be a material shortage OF apples and
grapes, though not as extensive as the
shortage OF stone fruits. 1t is too early,
the statisticans say, to make an estimate
OF the probable yield OF oIackerries and
raspberries.
With the shortage OF stone fruits it
is expected that the fruit supply for
domestic canning purposeswill be limited
in many sections. While considerable
frost damage has occurred in some parts
OF California the general outlet for
deciduous fruits on the Pacific slope is
still regarded as good.

The proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition had been submitted by the last
general conference for referendum vote
of all conferences.
Instead of the present proviso Of one
delegate for every fourteen members OF
a conference. the amendment called for
one delegate for every forty five mem
bers.
The Rev. Charles NJ. Boswell argued
that the church could not afford to de-
crease the size of delegations II II want
ed a democratic general conference. The
Rev. Robert G. Wells. conference Sec
retary, also spoke against the amend
ment.
The Rev. Thompson w. Mckinney,
who alone championed the suggested
change, declared that general confer
cnces now are so large that IL is diff
cult TO dispose OF routine business. A
smaller general conference would be
more efficient, he said.
DIR. Boswell. who has been conducting
conference pentecostal services for
twenty four years, was aroused by a
resolution offered by the Rev. W. a..
Ferguson. who suggested the appoint
mcnt Of a committee to map out a pro
gram for the next annual conference.
DR.. Boswell askcI IL the proposed
committee would have power to inter
fere with his pentecosta1 services. The
conference members. he declared. need
ed the spiritual uplift the services pro
vided.
DR.. Ferguson replied the ministers
needed intellectual food for thought. -
and that lectures should be on the after
noon program of the conference. lie
withdrew his resolution. however. be q.
cause of DR.. Boswelrs objections.
Lectures for Conference
A substitute resolution was offered by
the Rev. Gladstone Holm. It stipu
lated that committee shall be named
to arrange for n maximum of three lee =
lures for the next conference and that
the lectures are not to interfere with
the pentecostal services. This resolu
tion was adopted.
In addition to the business session
this morning, today's program Of the
conference includes the daily pentecostal
service conducted by the Rev. G. NJ.
