11
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.399

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.879

instructor named James Nasmith. He has given two weeks to

45
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:47.800
create a new game.

46
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:48.520
Now.

47
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.520
The new game was to calm rowdy boys down needed

48
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.039
to be played indoors and keep athletes in shape, and

49
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.400
it couldn't be rough. Nate Smith he created basketball. He

50
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.319
called it that because when he asked for two boxes

51
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.439
of the Jane Ride two peach baskets. Now the first game

52
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.520
is played today in eighteen ninety one in Springfield, Massachusetts.

53
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.439
Now it had nine players on each side. The basket

54
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.639
still had the bottoms on them, so when somebody made

55
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.240
a basket, they had to get a ladder out and

56
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.479
then go get the ball out, and everyone that kind.

57
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.879
They ended up poking a hole in the bottom of

58
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.199
the basket, and that way they could just use a

59
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.039
broom handle to pop the ball out. They used a

60
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.080
soccer ball. Now you can only pass, yeah, dribbling. It

61
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.840

It was the first TV talk show to actually include

91
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.639
the audience for participation and that kind of stuff. Now, Phil,

92
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.240
he was really liberal and he just loved to get

93
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.839
liberals and conservatives to really go at it. But he

94
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.800
we would even take the conservative side if he thought

95
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.439
I'd get everything more fired up. His show ended in
