Foreword\n\nBASKETBALL originated in America,and,like other games that are nowstyled \"national\",it started in a humble way.In 1891,Dr.James Naismithconceived the idea of this game when he was a student at the Y.M.C.A.TrainingCollege at Springfield,Mass.,U.S.A.A peach-basket was erected at each endof the gymnasium and two teams were selected.The object was to get the footballthat was used into the opponents'basket,using only the hands.  \nThe possibilities of the game soon became apparent and experience led tocertain rules being drawn up for the good conduct of the game.As it was notintended to be a kind of indoor rugby,contact with opponents,or tackling inany form,was forbidden.Moreover,the players were not allowed to take morethan two steps while in possession of the ball.Thus,skilful passing became—andremains to this day—the chief feature of the play.  \nAt first,this may sound a little tame;but it is no exaggeration to say thatBasketball is now one of_the most exhilarating and popular indoor gamesknown.It requires absolute fitness,skill,dexterity,co-ordination,agility,alertnessand the ability to co-operate with the other members of the team.  \nSo extensive has been the advance of Basketball that it was included in the1936 Olympiad and has maintained its place ever since.It is now played inover 100 countries,in many of which it has surpassed the popularity of soccer,baseball and other \"national\"games.Though not so well known in this countryat present,it is fast approaching that end.  \nThe governing association in this country was founded in 1935,and hasorganised and entered teams in many international events including the OlympicGames.  \nFor clubs wishing to take part in local and national leagues and tournamentsit is essential to be affiliated to the national governing body.  \nNavk  \nFounder and(late)Chairman,Amateur Basket Ball Association.  \n\n| 6F  \u003Cbr>上  \u003Cbr>ft.   | (4·09M)  \u003Cbr>RESTRAINING CIRC

attacking),and toprevent the other team from securing the ball or scoring.The visiting team has the choice of ends.  \nThe game is started by a \"Jump ball\"at the centrewhen the referee throws the ball up.  \nWhen the ball is in play it may be passed,thrown,rolled,batted or dribbled in any direction.Quick passingis the best way to get the ball into a scoring position.  \nA player must not carry the ball for more thanone pace.  \nThe game is stopped when certain rules are infringed.  \nThe most important rule is that concerning personalcontact —a player must avoid contact with otherplayers.If contact(which could have been avoided)occurs a “personal foul”is recorded against the fouler.His opponents restart the game by a throw-in from theside-line unless the foul was intentional,was
