Lawrence, Kan. Feb. 5.--The honor

National Intercollegiate Athletic Asso-
citation of America--life membership on
the basketball rules committee comes
TO him thirty years after he invented the
game of basketball Doctor Naismitb is
head Of the department Of physical educa-
ton at the University of Kansas
Basketball was the result of DELHI
crate attempt TO evolve game suitable
for men to play indoors. In 1891, Doctor
NIemith was in charge Of gymnasium
class at the Springfield, Mass. Y. NJ G. A.
then an Instructor for college athletes and
association men. The men enrolled in the
class were football, baseball and track
athletes and became weary Of the inside
work consisting Of boxing, wrestling and
swimming
At sneeting of the Y. NJ. C. A. instruc-
tors some ono suggested that invention
is merely the use of things at hand. Doctor
Naismith remarked that invention Of a
new game was possible He concentrated
for weeks on this idea.
Football, lacrosse. hockey, soccer and
other gapes, the doctor concluded, were
too rough TO he PLAYED indoors He decided
to work out his now game with Rugby
rs basis. eliminating the features which
made it extremely rough. raCkling and
kicking, he found on analysis, were ni
the root Of tho evil. sI1c eliminated tack
ling hy allowing the PLAYER 10 run when
the docs not have the hall and by having
tho ball passcd with hards only, he did
away with kicking
When the question Of goals came M
Doctor Naismith decided he must have
receptaclcs in which 70 throw the ball.
This idea was borrowed from the old
game Of Duck on the Rock The up-
right tvpc Of goal obviously could not he
used, nor any goal which would allow th'
game to become strenuous by permitting
excessive force in scoring
The superintendent Of grounds was
asked to furnish two boxes, eighteen
inches square But these were not avail
able lust then and two peach baskets
were offered Doctor Naismith took thcsr
and hung one at each end Of the court
using the gallery for support, Since tbs
height Of the gallery happened 70 be tet
feet, that IS the present height Of tht
goal
Lacrosse furnished the plan for arrang
