  From - THE HISTORY OF MINIER, ILLINOIS E.J.Graber (editor) Centennial 2nd,3rd,4th September 1967 Published privately by the Centennial Committee BASKETBALL The first game of basketball seen in Minier was played at Lower's Hall in December, 1903 between Hopedale and a team from the Minier Athletic Club. Minier won 17 to 3- Following is a quote from the Minier News: "Basketball is a much faster, hotter game than baseball, is exciting from start to finish, and to the spectator closely resembles football. A team is composed of five men: a center, two guards, and two goal throwers. The game is played in halves and the point to be gained is to get the ball into the goals or baskets which are placed ten feet above the floor and are but a couple inches larger than the ball." This first Minier team was composed of: center, George Buehrig; guards Jay Gowanlock and Harry Wullenwaber; goal throwers, Paul Peine and Jack Bachman, and substitute, I. J. Cooper. U. S.
