Question

Finally, one of the teachers, J. E. Naismith, was asked to invent a new game for the students. It was not an easy joB. He thought for a few days and invented, a kind of ballgame. It was a fast, excitng game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two games. To make a score the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet high above the floor on the wall. At each end of the court, there was such a basket.
