6 THE KANSAS CITY STAR, SUNDAY, JULY 30, 1939.
A New Form of Basketball Enlivens Summer on Mt. Oread

ee relative quiet of the summer school session at the University of Kansas has been broken in recent weeks by brisk scrimmages of sprightly

athletes around a post with a strange wire contraption atop it. The men, high school basketball coaches taking summer instruction, are
playing hi-goal, a quite radically different form of basketball developed by Dr, F. C. Allen, veteran and expert basketball coach at the Jay-
hawker school. Hi-goal is played on a 50-foot circular area and both teams shoot for the same goal. When a goal is scored the ball bounces
down upon the contestants and immediately is in play again. The game calls for brisk, unbroken action and extremely accurate shooting, as
Pictures on this page indicate. Hi-goal isn’t the only spirited summer activity on the campus, however. Notice the summer schoolgirls at play.

THIS IS HI-GOAL and making a basket—as Gerald Barker (arm upraised), Minneapolis, Kas., coach, is doing—isn’'t as easy as in con-
ventional basketball, for, as you see, there is no backboard. The ball will drop down through the basket and the game will go on without
pause. A game consists of four quarters of seven and one-half minutes each. In the play (left to right) are Clifford Olander, coach at Argen-
tine high school, Kansas City, Kansas; Alvin Emch, coach at Madison, Kas., high school; Kenneth Center, coach at Great Bend, Kas.; Barker;
Vernon Hays, Lecompton, Kas., coach; Kenneth Cassida, Towanda, Kas., coach; Loren Florell of Topeka, a K. U. varsity player, and Art
Lawrence, coach at Rosedale high school, Kansas City, Kansas.

FIGURES’ SAKE,
rather than for
fun, these sum-

climbing on the
“monkey maze.”
Such activity is
said to limber all
the muscles of the

SOFT BALL is as popular with girls as with men students on the summer session campus. The umpire is
Betty Campbell of Lawrence, the catcher, Ann Carlisle, 14 East Fifty-sixth street terrace, and the batter, Joan
Taylor of Leon, Kas. ‘

 

SHARP SHOOTING IS REQUIRED to score two points in hi-goal. This picture makes that
clear. It shows Florell about to let go of the ball for the difficult target with Hays guarding him.
Incidentally, the basket may be lowered for smaller players.

ONE WAY TO GET A REST is to make a foul in hi-goal. Dr. Allen is shown placing Gerald : alee Sith 2 . ;
Barker in the penalty box. His team must play without him until his “term” has expired. No free LIGHT-ETCHED CLOISTER. At night the courtyard of the new home of D. W. Newcomer’s Sons at Brush Creek boulevard and the Paseo
throw is awarded presents an aspect of serenity suggestive of the consideration and dignity which characterize every Newcomer service. (Advertisement.)
