3. Sometime in December of 1891, Dr. James Naismith was teaching gym at the YMCA College in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was raining, and Dr. Naismith was trying to keep his
students active. He wanted them playing a vigorous game that would keep them moving. He
rejected a few ideas that were too rough. Then Naismith had his breakthrough. He wrote out the
rules for a game with peach baskets fixed to ten-foot elevated tracks. Naismith's students played
against one another, passing the ball around and shooting it into the peach baskets. Dribbling
wasn't a part of the original game. Also it took a while to realize that the game would run more
smoothly if the bottoms of the baskets were removed. But this game grew to be one of the most
popular sports in America today. Can you guess which one?
