BASKET BALL NAMED BY ACCIDENT, SAYS INVENTOR
When Dr. Naismith Wanted Goals, Janitor Brought Baskets
Baskets
"The game of basketball originated in an endeavor to create a form of athletic exercise along the line of 'ball'," Nasmith, the inventor of the game.
"It was while I was at the Springfield Training School in Massachusetts in 1892," he continued, "that it was discovered that the men who had played on the football team were not taking any interest in gymnasium exercise after the season had closed. The routine of work with the dumb bells and Indian clubs was very irksome to them for they had been used as a tool against their opponents'. The man who was leader of the class became discouraged and gave it up and I was invited to take his place.
"I realized that it was necessary to offer the men some form of exercise that would be interesting as well as beneficial to them. In other words the men wanted something that they like make them interested derived from football. The only thing I did was to try to find something of that sort.
The Why of Basketball Rules
"At first we tried a form of 'dehorned' football but that was too rough. Next followed soccer and basketball, the requirement of our small gymnasium. One day the question came to me: What makes football rough? and the answer was—the tackling. What makes the tackling? The only way of stopping the man is running and that would eliminate running and that would eliminate the tackling? But you can't play a game and stand still all the time. Then I conceived the idea of letting all the men run except the man with the ball he could have to pass it before he could run.
"That point settled and experimented the next that came up was the question of goals. An ordinary football mented with and found satisfactory, goal would be too easy to make and a goal like the lacrosse or soccer could be torn down too easy by throwing the ball into it. I thought of the plan of turning the goal up horizontally so that the ball instead of being thrown in forcibly would have to lie on the ground before he thought at first of placing it about two feet off the floor and then I realized that all a good goal keeper would have to do was to sit on it and it would be impossible for the oppon

How It Was Named
"I went to the janitor and asked for some sort of a box. By chance it happened that he procured several baskets (such as peaches are shipped by ship) from the market and tapered down towards the bottom. We nailed these upon the gallery which was ten feet high. The name basketball has clung to the game ever since and the official goal has remained last ten feet.
"The game was successful in giving the men exercise and amusement at the same time and when they went with them they carried the game with them."
