[Kent Q. <ken...@co...>]

Going through some old books, I found an excerpt from James Naismith's 
book about basketball. He's the guy who invented it, and the  process of 
his game design is very interesting.

I found an even longer excerpt online:

A collection of several excerpts is here:

Scroll down to the part where it says "Basketball at the 
Turn-of-the-Century".
The important one is Chapter III:

    http://www.barnard.edu/amstud/resources/basketball/origin.htm

Although Chapter II is also really worth reading because it talks about 
the earlier designs that failed and why.

As long as we're trying to resurrect this list, I thought I'd toss this 
in the bucket, so to speak.
