194119551AB1941. University City 1941. 29 : 195 cm. 1 leaf text 1 leaf illustrations. Alvie E. Sanberg of University City Missouri invented a number of different goal improvements. On February 24 1936 he filed both a design patent application and a utility patent application for his new "Baketball Goal"; the two patents were issued a week apart in September of that same year. Prior to his invention nets had to be tied or lanced on to the hoop. But thanks to Sandberg all one neeeds to do is take loops from the net and hook them over the connectors circling the ring. This method is so effective that we could not think today of attaching the net any other mode. - See "Smithonian - The patent behind Basketball". unknown

1917168341917. Unidentified compiler. Photograph album 1917-1920 documents high school life and World War I-era military activity in the United States capturing both educational environments and wartime training as experienced within local communities. The album provides primary visual evidence of student athletics teacher involvement and organized military exercises during the First World War supporting research into youth culture physical education and civilian engagement with wartime preparedness. The inclusion of both school-based and military imagery situates the material within the broader mobilization of American society during the war years.<br /> Unidentified compiler. Photograph album. 1917-1920. Album containing 112 silver gelatin photographs with an additional 50 loose images taken in locations including San Jacinto California and Charleston South Carolina. The photographs depict a range of subjects including high school environments where groups of students stand assembled outside a brick school building labeled "High School" and organized athletic teams including a basketball team posed with a "DHS" banner and a player holding a ball marked "DHS." Individual athletic activity is represented through images such as a hurdler mid-jump. Military content includes labeled scenes from 1917 showing "Battery A some Marines and Infantry" as well as an image of a blimp or Zeppelin in flight indicating contemporary military technology. A portrait of a young man in uniform posed with older adults in front of a fence suggests familial connections to military service. Additional photographs document everyday life and leisure including fishing scenes early automobiles such as Model T vehicles a woman cycling a child playing violin and a woman in a canoe. Informal captions provide commentary ranging from observational "Jumping for what the robins left" to humorous "Who are you smiling at" reflecting the compiler's personal engagement with the images.<br /> The album emerges from the period of American participation in World War I when military training and patriotic activity intersected with civilian institutions such as schools. Physical education and organized athletics were increasingly emphasized within secondary education often linked to ideals of discipline and preparedness. The geographic spread between California and South Carolina suggests mobility or travel possibly connected to professional or military contexts.

159 pages. "Our Magical Man," "our Houdini," "the man of the hour," "Cousy, Maravich and Meadowlark Lemon rolled into one fancy player." These are only a few of the phrases used to describe the basketball skills of Earvin Johnon, six-foot eight-inch guard for the Los Angeles Lakers. Passing - not points scored but points produced - was the key to Johnson's being named Michigan State's most valuable player while still a freshman, to his leading the Spartans to the NCAA championship as a sophomore, and to his being the number 1 pick in the 1979 collecge draft. A genuine love of the game, a winning smile, and a deep concern for his teammates combine with his passing skill to win Johnson a top position not only in the Los Angeles Laker lineup but in the world of basketball in general. Describes the development of a rare blend of talent and personality that makes the career of Earvin Jonson unique and exciting. Interesting black and white photographs of his early glory. Glossy illustrated boards moderately rubbed. Remainder mark on bottom edge. Book
