Puzzles for the sports fan: football and the Super Bowl, soccer, basketball, baseball and hockey, the Olympics, types of sports from archery to wrestling, and competitions, the words every game shares, from referee to trophy. The team-sport lists are full of positions, plays and equipment, the words a young fan already uses without ever having written them down.
Basketball is one of the few major sports with a known inventor and a birth date. James Naismith, a teacher in Springfield, Massachusetts, wrote thirteen rules in December 1891 to keep a class busy indoors through the winter, and nailed two peach baskets to the gym balcony. Someone had to climb up and fetch the ball after every basket.
