The youth of the world lost a great benefactor in Dr. James Naismith.
Eighteen million young men all over the world are playing his game of basketball --
a game which he originated for eighteen troublesome young men in Springfield
College. Dr. Naismith is directly responsible for all the large field houses,
the large auditoria and gymmasia sine basketball is vingnt Before this game
was originated there were few large indoor arenas that were used for asey indoor
sports. Thickly dotting the middle western states are high school gymasia that
are much larger in size then the entire school buildings were thirty years ago.

Dr. Naismith was indirectly responsible for the forward pass in foot-
ball. Until the popularity of basketball began to spring up in the colleges in
America in 1905, the forward pass in football was not thought of. Then the foot-
ball rules dbase incorporated the forward pass, or basketball pass, in
basketball, and immediately the open game | became the b loment that spread the
defense. Basketball has become footballined, and football has become basketballized.
