For a long time gymnasium instruc
tors were confronted by the necessity
for a game which could be played in
doors by old and young, male and fe
male. They wanted a game devoid of
rough features, yet one which should
be thoroughly scientific, and which
should afford plenty of opportunity for
good healthy exercise for the scholar
or business man, and training for the
athlete. Such possibilities, says the
New York Sun, have been discovered in
the game of basket ball, which has be
come so popular in school and club
gymnasiums throughout the country.
The game was first introduced by the
directors and pupils of the Y. M. C. A.

training school at Springfield, Mass.
Its advantages were soon perceived,
and the sport spread to the gymnasiums
controlled by the Young Men's Chris
tian association, and was further in
troduced in scholastic institutions and
club gymnasiums. At the training school
the game was developed, and a strong
team was drilled in the simple work
ings of it by James Naismith, one of the
Springfield instructors, and an earnest
worker in the field of all-around sport
and recreation. In New York and
Brooklyn are .several good teams, and
these play the game from time to time.
The game can readily be played in al
most the smallest gymnasium. As the
sizes of the exercising rooms vo.ry, the
game played by each team is slightly
different. All the match games are
played nn !er regular rules, however,
and ths peeuiiar disadvantage which a
"gym" may have for the visiting team is
remedied so far as possible. The game
can be played out of doors on a large
field quite as well as in a small gym
nasium. The goals pictured in this col
umn are used, the upright one for the
field, on which it can be placed at any
point, and the other for indoor play.
The latter is attached to the gallery or
the wall of the room. The strinsr is
used to turn the goal so that the ball
may readily be regained. These goals
are the improved article. The first
goals, from which the game got its
name, were only peach baskets nailed
to the wall or running track.
The game can be played by a number
of men at once. In a small gymnasium,
however, five a side is 'the most con
venient number. In larger rooms nine
men can play on a side. This is con
sidered the regular number, and they
are placed as shown in the accompany
ing illustration. The game itself is
strictly one of passing the ball from
man to man. It can neither be kicked
nor batted with the fist. The object is
to get the baU into the basket or goal.
A large person is useful, but one of the

four feet tall. To get an un
covered position is of the utmost im
portance, as the player can thus easily
get the ball and as easily pass it to one
of his side near the goal. It requires a
great deal of practice to put the ball in
the goal, which is placed at some dis
tance above the players' heads. Not
alone must a player be skillful, he
must also be verv lively. A player
must throw the ball from the spot
where he catches it, but he can turn
around to throw it. No interference is
allowed, and tackling and pushing are
strictly prohibited. A player may only
obstruct the passage of the ball after it
is thrown.
When the game is played on a field
the player may run with the ball if he
continually throws it above his head
and catches it again. The ball may
also be dribbled along the ground with
the hand. '
Team play counts for everything in
basket play. The two forwards and
the home man should always work to
gether to get the ball into the goal.
The backs guard the goal, and the cen
ter men are supposed to get the ball
and pass it forward toward the home
man.
The game is usually played in two
halves of fifteen minutes each,' with a
slight intermission. When a goal is
made the game goes right on. It is
perhaps the "fastest" game played to
day, and is played with a snap which
football players in lining up may well
envy
