Important 1926 photograph of Dr. James Naismith, the man who invented the game of basketball, as he helps a group of women at the University of Kansas on their fundamentals. All images of Naismith are extremely rare and this is one of the best we have offered in years and one of the first showing him working with female players. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back, this is from their archives and offered here for the first time ever. The condition is really nice and this is an exciting new discovery from the most important sports innovator of all time!
