posed of several teams. Such participation will delight the
players and will attract enthusiastic fans and rooters.

“Obviously, in a public playground where both children
of all ages and adults are to be accommodated, the installa-
tion of a Goal-Hi standard, with its adjustable height feature
by which the goal may be quickly raised or lowered to heights
suiting the needs of the moment, is economically sound.

“When an outdoor playground is part of a school plant
and is used during the spring, summer, and fall seasons, and
the indoor gymnasium is used frequently for recreational and
social purposes during the winter season, I recommend the
Goal-Hi standard with the circular movable base so that the
standard can be conveniently rolled indoors or outdoors at
will. -

‘In connection with public playgrounds where it is feasible
to place the equipment permanently, I would suggest that
the standard be set in concrete.

“Here in Lawrence, Kansas, where we conducted an out-
door community recreation class this summer, | found that the
townspeople were as enthusiastic over Goal-Hi as were the
college students. Everyone wanted to play Goal-Hi—and did.

“Our first piece of equipment was crude. It consisted of
an upright with an inverted tripod supporting the round basket
hoop. The ball invariably lodged in the base of the cup and
held up the game until it could be dislodged. From this first
crude attempt to fashion a suitable piece of equipment for
playing Goal-Hi, we have gradually evolved our present
equipment which we believe answers our purposes 100%.
The ball, augmented by the three-way conical projector, after
passing through the hoop falls to the ground through any
one of three exits. It is this feature of uncertainty as to the
ball’'s exit from the cone or basket which adds elements of
chance, alertness and surprise to Goal-Hi. The swinging gates
suspended before each of the three exits do not retard the
ball’s normal flight from the basket to the playing field. These
gates are so constructed that a low ball striking one of them
from the outside will be deflected and cannot thus enter the
basket.

“Inasmuch as Goal-Hi was conceived and developed,
