Title

Penn College Basketball Team during the 1920's, Oskaloosa, Iowa

Description

Pictured here is the Penn College basketball team from the 1920's. Basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in December of 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. It did not take long for the sport to catch on and spread west across the United States, thanks in great part to the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), as they helped network the game nationally to inspire healthy and in shape children.
