Basketball, the game I have been associated with for __ years, is rated
as the most popular sport in America today. When more than 80 million people
each year pay to see a game, there can be no question of its popularity. Unfor-—
tunately, that group of 80 million consists of spectators who sit on the side
lines and watch a few thousand teams of only 5 players each, perform.

I know, as does every Physical Education Director, that basketball is one
of the finest forms of all-around exercise that can be undertaken. Every good
result of a combination of gymnastic exercises and certain sports is combined /in ( f

this one game of basketball. For example, muscles are stretched and developed, a
posture and carriage improved, physical grace is acquired, the flow of the blood ee
through the body is stimulated. These are but a very few of the many benefits hor -
that come to players of basketball.
Snowing these things and in view of the fact that basketball as we play it
is an ‘edeae sport, limited to the Winter season, and with an eye on that group
of 80 million spectators, whom I would like to see step across the side lines
and become players, I have been gradually developing a game that I am hopeful
will find favor as a Winter and Summer, indoor and outdoor sport or recreational
activity among Americans of all ages. I've named this newcomer “GOAL-HI".
—> In a few seconds you will see "GOAL-HI" played by two College teams, but I
want to emphasize the fact that it can be played by Elementary, High School, or
College men-and women equally well. Likewise, it fits into the Public Playground
program perfectly because instead of being limited to a team of 5 players, GOAL-
HI can be played by abel classes of stulentg oo boys and girls. To
encourage playing of the game I will aiukiy forward a copy of a simple rules book

I have prepared, to anyone writing me C/o University of Kansas at Lawrence, Kansas.

Dr. Forrest C. Allen
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

As agreed when together in Lawrence last week, I am returning to you a copy of
the brief I originally sent you concerning the new game, with a few notations
added thereto, as a result of our conversation.

I am also enclosing a list of the basketball coaching schools that we discussed,
which, if my notes are correct, you agreed to check over and return to me with
your suggestions as to both the schools that would be worthwhile for a pair of
demonstration backboards and also the name of the individuals whom we should
approach as concerns submitting a sample or two. In the latter connection I
wish you would also feel free to add any schools that are not on this list but
which are, in your opinion, worthy of this work on our part.

As soon as we can get around to a thorough discussion of the suggestions made
by you after the demonstration in your gymnasium, as concerns the convexity of
the bank in the two locations immediately to the right and left of the goal, I
shall write you further.

Returning to the new game under discussion, we understand that you will begin
working up some general publicity, as well as rules, for playing the game, and
will submit them to us as soon as it is convenient for you to do so, and we, in
turn, Will be giving this matter some thought so that we can iron out the rough
spots as quickly as possible and get under way.

I shall arrange to send you one of the goals mounted on a round base, on the
order of a volleyball standard base, inasmuch as we have decided to eliminate
the idea of inserting the upright in a pipe imbedded in concrete, because, after
all, the round base idea will do the same thing, as far as being portable is
concerned, ami is much easier to handle because a goal mounted on such a base
could be rolled out of the way, both in a gymnasium and out of doors. Besides,
both types would require anchorage of one kind or another and the stamlard with
the round base can be used both inside and outside, whereas the standard that we
originally considered in connection with a pipe set in concrete, could be used
only out of doors.

This letter will also cone 5% over-ride commission we discussed, pending
such time as We can get tygether on a formal document, which I would imagine
FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING CO.

de

would be within a short time or when you come through St. Louis next, which, at
the latest, should be on your way to Atlanta. However, if it is your wish that
this document be prepared and executed at this time, just say the word and we
will prepare same for your immediate consideration.

Don't forget, we are still seeking a good name for this game, and if you have
any ideas, please let us have them, and we shall do likewise.

I amwriting John Bunn, as suggested by you, and hope to have something definite
fron him as regards the adjustable height backstops.

Needless to say, I enjoyed the time spent with you very much and look forward to
our next meeting with a lot of pleasure.

Cordially yours,

JUNIOR SKETBALL
si

A competitive game for boys and girls of elementary school
age, and intended for indoor and outdoor use.

Intended primarily as an exercise game, it serves to acquaint
children of elementary school age with the fundamentals of
regular basketball, i.e., handling of ball, shooting of bas-
ket, accuracy, team play, etc.

Equipment required: one special 8'0" (overall height) baske
standard and one special air inflated rubber ball.

4 fot

Area required for games: 50!0" diameter circle.

Either 2 teams of from 1 to children, or 5 teams of from
1 to children can participate in the game.

Basket standard, either fixed or movable, to be located in
hub of 25! richiiastdicad! ae

 

Inner cirele to be 6! diameter and to encompass 'tout~-of-
bounds! territory. Intended to serve as safety island around
standard. (See details of game following) Location of 6!
radius inner circle.
Os

Bis

Construction of basket standard shall be one 23" tube up-
right mounted on a special base, and supporting a special
15" high, 3-exit basket, having an°18" diameter ring or

hoop. Overall height of standard to be 810", 91 ow vo:

INNER C(RCLE

As illustrated, basket to consist of 18" ring supported by
three curved braces that attach to upright. An unusual
feature of the basket is the addition of conical shaped
steel apron to serve as a base of the basket and intended
to direct the course of the ball that has cleared the ring,
through one of the three openings formed by the three curved
braces so that the ball will strike the ground outside the
6! diameter inner circle. It should be noted that the ball
is likely to be oe from anyone of the 3 outlets.

The base to be one of 4 types:

(A) Standard movable type (upright to have a base
similiar to our standard base) but equipped
withvanchor pegs to fasten base to ground.
(Smal concrete anchoring blocks suggested but
possibly base could be secured to ground with
ordinary ground pegs. 7

imbedded in concrete. Standard to fit in cup as
illustrated.

   

 

 

 

 

(C) Special fixed type for permanent installation. Tube

in concrete.

Area enclosed by the 6! circle to be considered ‘out-of
bounds! and any player entering this area is (1) auto-
matically banished from the game or (2) causes his team

to suffer a score penalty. Obviously, the purpose of
establishing this 'out-of-bounds! territory is to prevent
players from gathering immediately under the basket and in
close proximity to the upright and base, and is a definite
safety factor. The addition of the conical steel apron
assures the ball dropping in territory where the game can
eontinue without interruption.

A player crossing the outer 25! radius circle is likewise
tout-of-bounds! and suffers the same penalty.

NOTE

adv

Base shall include (1) permanently attached, spring, marking
equipment or (2) revolving collar to which marking equip-
ment can be attached as needed. Marking equipment to con-
sist of wire and scratch implement for locating inner and
outer circles.

Game to be played by either 2 or 3 teams.

For 2 team play, players are divided into 2 equal groups,
with playing court consisting of area between inner and
outer circle. Players of both teams move within this area
at will.

For 3 team play, players are divided into 3 equal groups
and playing court is likewise divided into 3 sections on
the basis of 3 openings in basket, i.e., ground lines di-
viding playing court to be drawn in relation to 35 curved
braces supporting basket ring.

oe

 

Players of any one of 35 teams are restricted to section of
playing court assigned to them. The penalty for entering
either section of opponents shall be the same as for enter-
ing tout-of-bounds! territory.

Scoring shall be 2 points for any team shooting a basket,
with possession of the ball going to -

(1) (2 Team Game) to the player catching the ball as it
drops from the basket, or

(2). (3 Team Game) to the team occupying the section in which
the bail drops.

Two team game will encourage team play in the form of pass-
ing. ‘Contact between competing players will result.
Shooting to the basket will be hurried and less accurate.
Exercise will tend to be strenuous and continuous.
Three team game will result in greater accuracy in shoot-

ing baskets as player will not be hurried due to lack of

contact with opponents of other 2 teams (who remain in
their respective sections.) Exercise activity will be

limited to competition among members of same team for

possession of ball entering their section, Exercise will
be less trenuous and broken by rest periods when ball is

in possessionof either one of the other 2 teams.

15. Ball shall be light weight but substantially made, air filled,

ttametexn. (Leather ball likely to scuff up too fast).

Dear Dr. Allen:

Just a word to advise that I am sending you, under separate.
cover, an artists drawing for the cover of the Rules Book
on "Goal-Hi", which I think is pretty good.

I am putting this in your hands so you can give it som
thought and possibly show it to some of your associates an
get their reaction.
Please be sure and return this to me prior to your visit to
St. Louis, or bring it with you when you come in, as we want
to go ahead with this work without unnecessary delay after
we have gotten together in St. Louis. ~
Kindest regards.

Cordially yours,

Dear Dr. Allen;

Just returned from Indianapolis where we installed one of the new
convex backboards for Hinkle's Coaching School, which begins today
(Butler University), and which will be allowed to remain standing
for the All-Star Game on the 18th, which is sponsored by the In-
dianapolis Star and is supposed to be an attraction that will bring
about 10,000 people together.

In any event, I want to again acknowledge your letter of August @,
with which you forwarded the remainder of the copy on the "Goal-Hi"
rules with the exception of the several variations that you intend
to work up and submit to me at your early convenience.

Your postscript relative to our purchasing a copy of the National
Basketball Playing Rules is a good one. However, the Summer sup-
plement that Porter and Power publish, is practically the same thing,
isn't it? In other words, we have several copies of that 1939-1940
rules book that just came out and I believe this covers all of the
rules, but maybe I am mistaken. Kindly advise.

I am also interested in seeing a copy of the Lawrence Journal-World
covering the story of "Goal-Hi" and the visit of “yours truly. If
you can get a copy of this (in duplicate) I will appreciate it very
much, as I want to keep all of this publicity in a file that has been
set up.

Please be sure and write me later this weeks as concerns you¥ plans
to be with us next Monday, August 14, as previously discussed. It
looks to me like we are going to have a lot of work to do on these
rules as I want to simplify them if possible.

Kindest regards.

Cordially yours,

Dear Dr. Allen:

Just a reminder for you to bring with you such notes and
possibly that demonstration basketball you used (the one
painted white, if you think it advisable) when you come
through here on the lth, so we can go into this question
of an official ball with Rawlings.

In other words, let's try to cover this while you are
here and see if we cannot work up a ball that would be
the official "Goal-Hi" ball for both indoor and outdoor
use. .

You will remember we discussed this briefly when together
in Lawrence and I think we should have this question ironed
out when we are together on the lth and 15th.

Kindest regards.

Cordially yours,
