The game originally had 13 rules to follow. Although the game was much different than anything his students had played before, Dr. Naismith's game of basketball was a success.
The students that played this new game of basketball went home during Christmas break and showed their new game to their friends and family. This was the first instance of movement across the country, and eventually across the globe. The students played the way that they could remember over their break, and enjoyed it very much. When they returned Dr. Naismith published the 13 rules in the school newspaper, it was an official sport. Basketball was slow to attract attention because of the horrible playing conditions the teams had to endure. Basketball courts have evolved into a spectacular scene. Arenas are built to accommodate tens of thousands of people. It is a place where companies can advertise their products; sneaking into everyone's lives.
Within the first year, basketball got the attention of citizens of Springfield. By 1892 there were two organizations that competed against each other. The popularity of the sport spread quickly. In 1893 YMCA teams had become widespread throughout the east coast. The popularity among colleges took a little longer to catch on, but nevertheless, it did. On April 24, 1896 the first intercollegiate game was play between the Minnesota State School of Agriculture and Hamline College, the score was nine to three.
By 1908 the focus of power house basketball teams had shifted from the east to the mid-west. During these years the game became rough, even though Dr. Naismith had wanted it to be a non-contact sport. Whatever the problem was though, the attraction of the sport continued to grow. In 1920 a game between New York University and City College of New York, drew in an audience of 10,000 people.
The game of basketball is one of the only sports that originally allowed women to play.

This excerpt from a popular song by Louis Armstrong describes an environment of organic beauty. In which, surrounded by the simplistic splendor of nature, Armstrong sees a "wonderful world-.
