Meet the Past with Crosby Kemper III returns for a conversation with James Naismith, portrayed by Bill Worley.

In 1891 Canadian minister and physical education teacher James Naismith invented a game that could be played indoors. He called it “basket ball” after the peach baskets which served as goals. A few years later he founded the University of Kansas basketball program (he worked for KU until his retirement in 1937 at the age of 76).
