Original Thirteen Basketball Rules

James Naismith's Original Thirteen Rules for Basket. Ball were at auction back in 2010 starting at $2 million.  He typed them on a piece of paper and put them up in the gym.

Two of interest were

#6  A foul is striking a ball with a fist.

#7  If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponent.

I especially like the last one.  That would sure speed up the time it takes to play the last few minutes in a close college basketball game when the team behind commits foul after foul.
