  <mods:abstract>A letter to the editor that appeared in the December 26th 1948 edition of the Springfield Union. The letter was written by Fredrick C. Abbott, Class of 1983, who claims to have been present when Dr. Naismith first explained the rules and intentions for the game of basketball. Abbot explains he was playing in the gymnasium when Dr. Naismith called over the men in the room and first introduced the rules of the game. Though a student at the time, Abbott is not listed as one of the 18 students to first play the game. To learn more about Dr. James Naismith, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/645</mods:abstract>
  <mods:note>Is part of a scrapbook of Naismith materials, collector unknown, that has been taken out of its binding and the pages separated by archival paper. It is the 22nd item in the scrapbook.</mods:note>
