For the first time at Temple junior college, handball will be
offered as a physical education course in which students may
receive a college credit.
The handball court is 40 feet long by 20 feet in width and
20 feet high from the floor to the ceiling. Handball courts may
have as few as one wall and the new facility has four walls
which is considered to be standard.
In playing handball, one must serve from the service area,
bounce the ball and then hit the ball off the front wall back
through the service zone to his opponent. The ball may bounce
off the side wall or the back wall and the serving opponent must
sling or throw the ball before it touches the floor. Ony the server
may score a point. The person not serving can never win a point,
however he gains a chance to serve.
The three types of handball are singles, doubles, and "cut-
throws," which means the server is against two opponents at all
times. The basic strokes in handball are underhand, overhand and
sidearm.
Thirty-eight students currently are enrolled in handball. The
classes meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday second and third
period and Tuesday and Thursday third period. Jerry Brentham
teaches the course.
