The Original Thirteen Rules of Basketball

While going through some stuff today I came across a link to Dr. James Naismith's Original 13 Rules.  I think I posted this once before a long time ago, but since things are soooo sloooow on the board I thought I'd post it again.

There are some interesting variations from today's game.  No dribbling (similar to the six man game), and three consecutive fouls counted as a goal for the other team!

The entire set of rules could be written on a single page.  By comparison, the 2006 Men's and Women's Basketball Rules and Interpretations is 184 pages (available for download here, in case anyone didn't know).
