This Game Dedicated to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame All American Clem Haskins drives against Loyola WESTERN VS. M U RRA Y FEBRUARY 6, 1967 E. A. DIDDLE ARENA Electees To The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame was conceived as a memorial to Dr. James Naismith, who created the game, and to the thousands upon thousands of athletes, coaches, schools, fans, clubs, youngsters and oldsters, and sports lovers who have made basketball the pre-eminent sport throughout the world. Dr. James 'akmlth The institution is designed as an educational facility and mu­ seum in which will be housed all the literature of the sport, films of important games, records, trophies, and all available memorabilia of the sport and in which the heroes of the game will be enshrined. Separate areas will be provided for each category of basket­ ball participants so that the Hall of Fame will truly represent the sport- wherever it is played. Standing at the historic Springfield (Mass.) College, where the founder himself asked that it be placed, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is the showcase for bas­ ketball. At this educational center and museum is evidence of the vital contribution which all groups, fans, coaches and officials have made to the thrilling sport of basket­ ball. A beautiful Court of Honors tiisplays the plaques struck for those honored men elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame. Dr. Naismith was an athletic instructor at the School for Christian Workers (now Springfield College) when he created the game of basketball over seventy-five years ago. Since that first game, basketball has spread around the globe. It is now played on an organized basis in over 130 countries and is by far the most popular sport in the world. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, honoring the founder, will pay con­ tinuing tribute to all those heroes of the sport who have built and continue to build this great game. There are currently sixty-two individuals and four teams already enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. There are seventy-three colleges and uni­ versities and twenty-nine other organizations holding institutional membership in the Hall of Fame.
