The object of the game is to put the ball into your opponents' goal. These are to be suspended, one at each end of the grounds, about ten feet from the floor. The goals are a couple of baskets or boxes about fifteen inches in diameter across the opening, and about fifteen inches deep. Across these lines would be out of bounds. When there is no running track, the ends may be cleared of apparatus, and the goals fixed on the wall, then a line may be drawn along the sides of the gymnasium about six feet from the walls, or enough to clear the apparatus. All outside of this line is then out of bounds. When there is a running track around the gymnasium, the ground might be marked out just under the track, and the baskets hung up, one at each end on the railing. The ground is the gymnasium floor cleared of apparatus (it may be shoved behind the side lines), though it could be played in the open air, at a picnic, etc. It can be played by teams from different Associations, and combines skill with courage and agility so that the better team wins. Any number of men may play at it, and each one get plenty of exercise at the same time it calls for physical judgment, and co-ordination of every muscle, and gives all-around development.

It fills the same place in the gymnasium that foot ball does in the athletic field.
