ap St Phog’ A ica, ee sdlidies Coach, Becomes Inventor of New Sport Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, Kan- i sas University’s basketball coach; has combined his inventive genius and his knowledge of the cage game to invent a new sport, which, St. Louis friends of the Jayhawker coach say, has been enjoying a great deal of success on the K. U, campus. Dr. Allen’s new sport, which he calls Goal-Hi, is a modified form of basketball, and can be played on either an indoor or outdoor court. ' Principal deviation from basketball is the fact that only one goal, in the center of a circular court, is used. Goal Can Be Regulated. - In the new sport the basket is | mounted on a standard that can be]. regulated for any desired height, with grade school pupils tossing a regulation size basketball, eight feet, junior high school students nine and high school and college players ten. When a basket is made, the ball is returned to the playing area in| — any one of three directions, depend- ing on which way the ball strikes |. a cone-shaped metal projector in the center of the basket. : Fouls, free throws and field goals are all in order in goal-hi. throw, which counts one point, the same as in basketball, is attempted from an area fifteen feet from the basket. Shots from other points on the playing surface, which is thirty feet around the goal, count two and three points. Around the bas- ket is a restraining area, four feet in circumference. Possible Intramural Sport. The sport, Dr. Allen told a St. Louis friend, has possibilities more A free’ | Haskell Institute. ‘as. an intramur al” rather than. an interscholastic athletic activity. Any number of player can participate. but the official rules, prepared by Allen, call for only five, the same number as on a basketball squad. Students at Kansas University or- ganized a -team this summer and challenged a goal-hi squad from The more-sea- soned Jayhawk players scored an over whelming victory. Summer Girls at the University of Kansas are shown com- peting in a goal-hi game on an indoor basketball court. The court, it will be noted, has been marked off accord- _ing to. goal- -hi rules. school students:at. Kansas also or- ‘ganized teams and had peetley games. Several principals and coaches of | small high schools in Kansas have | written Allen and requested infor- | mation on the sport, stating that | they are planning to -form regular teams to compete with near-by schools. Thus far the game has not been adopted by any school in’ the St. Louis area.

We approached the man respon- sible for originating and developing Goal-Hi, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, better known wherever basketball is played or discussed as “Phog” Allen, and asked him to describe his new game for our readers. Dr. Allen, Director of Physical Education and Varsity Bas- ketball Coach of the University of Kan- sas, needs little introduction. He has been associated with basketball for thirty-seven years and enjoys the dis- - tinction of having the longest period of service of any collegiate coach and of producing championship teams in twenty-one of his twenty-seven years of coaching. Dr. Allen’s response to our inquiry follows. ing at the National Convention of the - American Association for Physical Education, Health and Recreation, say that basketball possessed all of the quali- ties necessary for the educable child. As parents and as educators we desire physi- cal fitness, emotional stability, and mental poise as chief characteristics for our youngsters. To observe the young basket- ball player dribbling and weaving his way through a broken field and then suddenly swerving to the side, jumping high into the air and gracefully laying a shot into the basket, is to witness poetry in motion. It is that type of motor flow that the Greeks wrote about centuries ago. . Running, jumping, leaping, vaulting, and climbing are the fundamental activi- I ONCE heard eight educators, speak- 36 Dr. Forrest C. “Phog’ Allen ties of man. The basketball player shoot- ing the ball into the basket is improving motor skills and developing co-ordination, rhythm, and confidence. By shooting at a goal above the head, the player is elevat- ing his ribs and thorax, and thus develop- ing the entire upper thoracic area—an ex- tremely important exercise which is much neglected in our age of sedentary existence. Every basketball coach knows that to play basketball is to exercise the leg and ab- dominal muscles and, in fact, every part of the body. Basketball is rated as perhaps the most popular sport in America today. When our Government reports that more than eighty million people of all ages are annu- ally paying admissions to see the game of basketball, there can be no question of its popularity. Unfortunately, that group of eighty million people consists of spectators who are content to sit on the sidelines and watch two teams of only five players each play the game. Realizing the fact that basketball as we now play it is limited to the short winter season, and desiring to see these eighty million spectators step across the sidelines and become players, I have developed Goal-Hi, a game that will undoubtedly find favor as a year-round indoor and out- na Ren a THE ATHLETIC TotiRNAtT INTRODUCTION By Dre Forrest C, Allen, Director of Physical Btoatin snd Varaity sorta Conahy tie originator of Goalniii.e ro oon oe @ @ over 37 youre, is rated as perhaps the most popular sport in Amerion 4 today.
