Basketball is still a young game. It is over ahundred years old. In the year of 1891,a certaincollege was having some trouble with its boystudents. The weather was cold and the studentshad to stay indoors. As they could not take part intheir usual outdoor sports, they were unhappy, andsome of them even got into fights from time to time.Finally, some of the teachers at the college askedDr. J. E. Naismith to invent a game so that thestudents might have something to play with. It wasnot easy to invent a game because it had to beplayed indoors, and the court was not very large.Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented akind of ball game. It was a fast, exciting game withmuch moving and passing of the ball. It was playedbetween two teams. In order to make a score, theball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet abovethe floor on the wall. At each end of the court therewas a basket. At first, Dr. Naismith had planned tohave the ball thrown into a box. As he couldn't findboxes of the right size, he had to use fruit basketsinstead. That is how the game got its name-basketball.
