Training School tn 1891. This was brought about through necessity of an indoor winter sport, j The game has developed to the stage | where it is an important part of the | physical education system of this) country. Basketball proved popular from the beginning and spread westward about 1892,. At this time nine men comprised a team. This proved lather unsat sfactory because of too much contact. It led to seven men teams. The change was so sucre sful in speeding up team play that later the rules commit ee proposed a five man team. Conservative| tans thought this would be the ruination of the new game but soon learned it was an improvement. in the early stages of the game peach baskets w:ere used for goals. | This proved Inconvenient and come : quently led to the invention of the, iron goals in 1898. Since that time they have been improved until now thete are different kinds on the market, all of which are good. Ne s for baskets are important, because they help in recording baskets and also encourage basket shooting. Uniforms closely resembled football uniforms tor a short time. Shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads and braces were commonly used. At the beginning long trousers were used but later the uniforms kept abreast with improvements of the game.
