OR. NAISMITH DEPLORES RUIE I Founder Os Basketball Favors Return Os Center Jump Lawrpncp, Kan., Jan. 28. (UR)* Dr. JaniPH Nalsmith watched o, I couple of teams ot young athletes i race up und down the University | of Kansas basketball court ami wondered today If the game they . were playing wasn’t a far cry from the one that he invented in Spring- , field. .Mass., in 1893. He la the man who once hung j a couple of hampers on the walls , of a Young Men's Christian Asso ' elation gymnasium, “to give spirit to the keep-away game the boys were playing with a big leather' ball" He called it “basket ball" because the goals were "peach bus-1 kets," and he did not dream that , the game would rise to a place of , universal popularity ami that some day it would be played by more persons in the United States than any other type of athletic contest.

"However. 1 i don't feel that the recent abolition , of the center Jump has improved I the game, or that it has speeded! up play." The aging physical education in- 1 structor, who resigned recently after 40 years on the University of Kansas faculty, proved his contention with the rule book. If rules were followed strictly in the past, there should be no increase in speed now under the new game." he said. “Linder the old rules, the ball was dead after a goal, and play ceased until thevofSUN.
