BASKETBALL'S FATHER

Nearly everyone is to some extent
familiar with the popular game of basket
ball, but comparatively few knew of its
originator, DIR. James Naismith, who died
a few days ago at his home in Lawrence,
Kan, where he had been director of ply
steal education at the University of Kansas
since 1898.
DR.. Naismith was born in Canada Is
years ago, and came to the United States
as a physical instructor at the Y. M. G. A.
training school in Springfield, Mass, in
1890. There he invented the game of bas-
ketball the following year in response to a
demand for a game that would serve to
keep athletes in condition during the win
ter months.
Basketball was originally played by
teams of nine men each, the number of
players being later reduced to seven, and
finally to five, as at present. The game
grew rapidly in popularity, and in time
girls and young women began to take up
the lively sport.
DIR. Naismith's professional life was
devoted entirely to physical education, al
though he took time out to obtain the de-
gree of doctor of medicine, while physical
director of the Y. NJ. C. A. in Denver.
He lived to see the game which he in
vented become the most universally played
of all indoor sports, with teams in virtually
every university, college, high school and
athletic club in the country.
