I remember when South Boston YMCA upset Springfield YMCA 4-2 in a real high scoring game. In fact, there were so many points, Dr. Naismith had to replace the peach baskets because they took such a beating that night. I told him he might consider switching to something else, like nets, but he said that the peach baskets were usually just fine for up to one or two shots per team per game and he didn't anticipate teams ever shooting more than that.
I think he had stock in the peach basket company. He was such a young whippersnapper in those days.
