FATHER OF NET ! GAME TO SPEAK i IN CITY TONIGHT! Dr. James Naismith to Be i Guest of ‘Y’; Invented Sport in 1890. Dr. James Naismith, “father of basketball,” Is to speak on the history of the game at the physical education department dinner to be held at 6:30 tonight in the central Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Coach Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle, Butler University, also is to speak, and a demonstration is to be given of the development of the hardwood game from its origin in 1890 to the present. Dr. Naismith invented the game while serving as an instructor in the Springfield (Mass.) Y. M. C. A. College. How Game Originated ’ In order to find some sport to interest athletes from the end of the football season to the beginning of the baseball season, he tacked two peach baskets on the rail of the running track in the college gymnasium. First he divided the class into tv.o teams of nine each. A soccer ball was put into play by the sides rushing at it from opposite ends of the floor. From this start a dribbling, passing game was evolved. The 13 original rules of the game, as drafted by Dr. Naismith have continued ! in use to this day with only minor I modifications. He'll See Olympic Games Basketball Is to be introduced in ! the Olympics this year for the first time, and Dr. and Mrs. Naismith plan to leave for the games in Berlin shortly after his appearance here. College and high school teams in all parts of the country field “benefit nights” during this season to provide funds for the trip. Approximately 150 Y. M. C. A. leaders and coaches from nearby schools and universities are expected to attend. Music is to be provided by the Senate-av Y. M. C. A. quartet, and by members of the central “Y” orchestra. F. S.

U. S. ENGINEERS PUSH WORK ON FLOODCONTROL Dams, Levees Already in Construction; Soil Still Problem. By Science Service WASHINGTON, March 27.—As flood waters subside and reconstruction of millions of dollars’ worth of wrecked property begins, thought will naturally be for its protection against a possible recurrence of the disaster. Asa matter of fact, a program of flood protection and flood prevention is already under way, in impounding dams on the ifpper Ohio and “fuseplug” levees on the lower Mississippi. The latter are planned to yield when pressure becomes crucial, and permit more or less controlled flooding of areas selected by man, rather than wider and possibly more valuable

areas chosen only by the caprice of the blindly raging river. The series of dams on the Tennessee. it must also be remembered, were from the first designed as much for flood control as for the development of power and the furtherance of navigation. Let no one think that all these expensive engineering works are a case of locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen. Dams and levees and other devices to control the water already in the river are highly visible and impressive bolts and bars on our stable door. But the door can be held even more effectually by, millions of living cords and slender strings. Unless the roots of trees and grass grow thick into the hillsides that are now denuded of forest, plowed naked of the once mantling turf, even mightier and costlier works on the rivers themselves will be only mockeries of our effort and expenditures. This gospel has been preached over and over again in the last few years, but it can not be repeated too often or stressed too emphatically. The Mississippi Valley Committee of the WPA has said it, the Science Advisory Board has underlined it, individual clear voices in the wilderness like Dr. Hugh Bennett of the Soil Conservation Service and Prof. Paul Sears of Oklahoma University have cried it aloud again and again.
