What developed startlngly, however, was the charge by Jim To-bln, New York basketball official, who Is one of the Olympiad referees, that Dr. Naismith had apparently been completely ignored by the American Olymplo Com- mittee, headed by Avery Brundage. "Dr. Naismith arrived in Germany without even a pass to see a game," Tobin said.

"We managed to get him a pass for all but it was not through the American Olymplo Committee's efforts. He was ignored there and his name stricken from the pass list. "What's more, no ceremony was planned for Dr. Naismith, who as inventor, is naturally the most important figure in basketball." Nevertheless, the colorful, If poorly" attended, event, was arranged on short notice and held in the expansive "Hall of German Sports," where a miniature opening day parade of Nations and speeches by Dr. Naismith and leading foreign officials entertained a crowd of 200.
