the game of basketball. He succeeded in getting some men to play for
recreation purposes, but some older men didn’t.

of the equipment required and it is also too costly. Until he decided to
blend the elements of basketball, baseball, tennis and handball to create a
game for his classes that would demand less physical contact than
basketball.
