RULE 2
The Goal-Hi Basket

Only one basket is required to play the game. It shall
consist of a ring 18 inches in diameter, inside dimension,
supported by three curved braces that join and become a
part of the basket base or cone that is in the form of a
three-way chute which serves as a runway for the ball
when leaving the basket through one of the three exits,
and which causes the ball to arch away from the vertical
standard supporting the basket so that it (the ball) will
strike the floor or ground outside of the innermost or restrain-
ing circle of the playing court. Each of the three exits
through which the ball may escape from the basket shall be
fitted with a swinging gate that will prevent the entrance
of a low ball from the outside when it strikes any part of
the basket below the ring. The three gates shall be con-
structed and attached to the 18 inch ring so that the normal
departure of the ball from the inside of the basket through
any one of the three exits will not be retarded.

The basket shall be at a height so that the 18 inch ring
will be 10 feet above the floor or ground for College (adult)
or High School players, 9 feet for players of Junior High
School age, and 8 feet for Elementary School players.

The Ball

The ball shall be spherical and shall be rubber con-
struction covered with leather, or airtight rubber construction.
Its circumference shall not be greater than 30 inches and
not less than 291/2 inches.

RULE 4
The Officials
