A That the game of basketball was played first as a college game at Mount Union College is now a historical fact. Feeling that this is something that Mount Union C'ollege can well be proud of, and that certain recognition is due to the founders of the game and te the teams that have represented Mount on the hard wood court since 1891, the theme of this Unonian has been devoted to basketball. The game of basketball was devised by James Naismith of the Y. M. C. A. Training School at Springfield, Massachusetts. Mr. Charles Stolberg, now ex-mayor of Canton and commissioned major in the World War, had attended the Springfield Training School and while serving as the physical director of the Canton Y. M. C. A. he read the first published description of the game to the members of his class. At the time this description of the game was read Major Stolberg was giving a course of instruction to Herbert S. Johns, who- shortly afterwards became the first physical director in the Morgan Gymnasium at Mount Union College. ln 1891 Mr. Johns, now a trustee of the college, introduced the game to- the students, and since that time it has become a major sport in the colleges throughout the country. I lt was typical of the early games that low scores would result as a team seldom scored over five points during a game. The courts on which the games were played were much smaller than at present, there was no dribbling allowed, and there were no free throws, all which developed a fast type of play. According to the records, the team of 1896 was the first to win a campionship for Mount. Teams in 1901, '02, '16, '23, '24, '25, '26 and '29 have kept up the tradition. Never has Mount Union had a losing basketball team. The caliber of the players always has been of the highest, and it is doubtful if Mounts record can be duplicated in any particular in basketball, anywhere in the country. 5
