PAYMENT
By Robert Hoffman
Peach baskets don’t come in
for much attention from sports
writers or athletes these days.
Yet, everyone who makes a
living from basketball ought to
be eternally grateful to that
includes everybody from
Johnny Wooden, our local
coach, to the guy who sells
peanuts at Madison Square
Garden during the annual
National Invitational Tour-
nament (NIT). Not to mention
the likes of Bill Bradley, Jerry
Lucas, Bill Russell and Wilt
Chamberlain, to mention a few
players, the game has elevated
to the caviar class.
You wouldn’t think a peach
basket would have much to do
with ‘college education. But
every seven-footer slick enough
with a basketball to catch the
eye of a scout owes his four-year
full scholarship to that humble
hamper. In fact, the very name
of the game is derived from it.
For without peach baskets and
an imaginative young YMCA
gym instructor there very likely
wouldn’t ‘be any game of
basketball, a chilling thought
for its beneficiaries.
Though college football was
well established around the end
of last century, the season was

the slack during the long winter
months. Football playing

Christian workers in
Springfield, ‘Mass., found
themselves bored with Indian
clubs, tumbling and
calesthenics in the winter of
1891. They craved action: a
game, a sport offering
challenge and competition and
which could be played indoors.
The challenge was taken up
by young Jim Naismith, a
McGill University graduate

instructor, believed in teaching
rather than = preaching,
especially by ‘using students’
love of sports as a vehicle for his
pedagogy. What Naismith
brought into the gym late in
December,” 1891, were the
structure and regulations - of
basketball, which have . sur-
vived “virtually intact to this
day, all written out and ready
for the tap-off.
He lacked only the hoops
through which the ball was to be
dropped. When the janitor
hauled up from the basement
two peach baskets, he not only
solved the hoop problem but
gave the game its name.
Naismith nailed the baskets to
the walls at either end of the 35’
X 50’ gym, ten feet above the
floor (still regulation height),
formed teams, and whistled the
new game into full birth.
The college for training
Christian workers: was, of
course, the YMCA'’s Springfield
College. Today, still’ a major
YMCA college, Springfield
houses, fittingly enough, the
Naismith Memorial Basketball
Hall of Fame. Young Jim went
on to become Dr. James A.
Naismith and his peach-basket
game blossomed into one of ‘the
world’s most popular, widely-
played games. Its international
status was confirmed by in-
clusion into the Olympics as a
regular gold medal event.
Of course, basketball is no
longer either an exclusively
indoor or winter-bound sport,
but is played year-round out-
doors as well as inside, It’s also
one of the largest-drawing

terms of number of par-

We're reminded this week,

early years, the game was

because only Y's had both gyms
and coaches. Within one year
after its invention, basketball

first peach baskets were tacked
up, basketball was being played
in. a dozen foreign countries
where it had been introduced by
YMCA secretaries on overseas
duty.
Today, basketball is still a
major sport. Many players,
including some of the biggest
names in the game, dribbled
their first basketballs across a
Y gym floor. With new Y's being
opened regularly, this is likely
Though Naismith was the
inventor of basketball, the man
who undoubtedly did more than
anyone else to popularize the
game nationally was Adolp
Rupp, University of Kentucky
coach from 1930 to 1972." And
Rupp learned: the game from
Naismith. Rupp was: honored
last November by the YMCA for
his = achievements . as a
basketball coach ar - for his
contributions to the g®me and
its popularity. Rupp said at the
time,
Naismith for five years almost
five days a week, three to four
hours a day, talking ‘about
basketball.”
Well, whoever thought up the
adage ‘‘Great oaks from little
acorns -grow,” missed a bet
when he failed: to consider the
peach basket as a potential
progenitor. Nor did Naismith’s
that little game he conceived in
a YMCA gym. But there it is.
