Monthly Recaps Life is the sum of your choices. — Albert Camus The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had the means, time, influence and educational advantages, but what he will do with the things he has. — Hamilton Wright Mabee There are two levers for moving people — interest and fear. — Napoleon Bonaparte There is one quality that one must posses to win and that is definiteness of purpose, knowledge of what one wants and the burning desire to achieve it. – Napoleon Hill Whatever talent an individual possesses, character helps that person use his or her ability to serve the team. – John Wooden LEADERSHIP TIP! HISTORY OF HOOPS! This will be the final part of a five-part series on the history of basketball taken from the book, COACHING BASKETBALL edited by Ralph Pim and Win the Tip! Member JERRY KRAUSE. Author Dr. Kenneth L. Swalgin wrote in his article titled DUCK ON THE ROCK – The Origins and Mysteries of Basketball that the first women’s game was played at Smith College in 1893. A recap of the game was published by the Springfield Republican. The recap stated that no male spectators were allowed at the game as the girls wore bloomers to compete. The dress for men in those days was long trousers. It is possible to assume that women were the first to wear a form of shorts.
