Text:Basketball
Basketball is a relatively new game.
In the winter of 1891,
a certain college was having trouble with its male students.
The weather was bad and the students could not take part in their usual outdoor sports.
Finally, some of the teachers at the college
asked Dr James E.Naismith to invent a game that could be played in doors on a rather small court.
They wanted a game in which there would beno violent movements
and in which the players could not touch each other
probably to keep them from getting into fights.
The game which Dr Naismith invented filled these requirements.
It was a fast,exciting game,
with much running and passing of the ball.
In order to make a score,
the ball had to be thrown into a basket on the wallat
the opponents'end of the court.
And that was how the game got its name.
The new game was an immediate success
and was soon being played in high schools as well as colleges,
by women as well as men, and outdoors as well as indoors.
When basketball was added to the Olympic Games in 1936,
twenty nations sent teams.
