Question

My teeth are in the piece on the floor! It is not yet a hundred years old. In the year of 1891, a certain college was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was bad and the students had to stay indoors. As they could not take part in their usual outdoor sports, they are unhappy, and some of them even get into fights from time to time. Finally, some of the teachers at the college asked Dr. J. E. Naismith to invent a game so that the students might have something to play at. It was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played indoors, and the court was not very large. Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a

fast, exciting game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two teams. In order to make a score, the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet above the floor on the wall. At each end of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr. Naismith had planned to have the ball thrown into a box. As he couldn’t find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit baskets in-stead. That is how the game got its name—basketball.
