[00:00:00]Passage Three
[00:02.14]One winter day in 1891, a class at a training school in Massachusetts, USA, went into the gym for their daily exercises.1891
[00:13.15]Since the football season had ended, most of the young man felt they were in for a boring time.
[00:19.27]But their teacher, James Nasmyth had other ideas.
[00:23.58]He had been working for a long time on a new game that would have the excitement of American football.
[00:30.91]Nasmyth showed the men a basket he had hung at each end of the gym, and explained that they were going to use a round European football.
[00:42.21]At first, everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing.
[00:48.00]"Pass! Pass!" Nasmyth kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players.“
[00:55.58]Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them.
[01:00.60]The problem with the new game, which was soon called “basketball”, was getting the ball out of the basket.
[01:09.03]They used ordinary food baskets with bottoms and the ball, of course, stayed inside.
[01:15.60]At first, someone had to climb up every time a basket was scored.
[01:20.95]It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through.
[01:31.35]There have been many changes in the rules since then, and basketball has become one of the world's most popular sports.
