YMCA's The Triangle
1892
Published just a month after the first basketball game was played in December 1891, this January 1892 issue of the YMCA's The Triangle magazine announces the article on the cover, which directs the reader to page 144 and the historic understatement, "We present to our readers a new game of ball, which seems to have those elements in it which ought to make it popular among the Associations." James Naismith's four-page article includes a fine drawing of that first game, his list of the thirteen Original Rules and fascinating insights into the sport's early development.
