Riskey Invents P
Inventive genius isn't only con-
fined to engineers and scientists as
fir as Michigan's Intramural Sports
Department is concerned.
Seven years ago Earl Riskey, as-
sistant director of intramural sports,
whipped together a concoction of
handball, tennis, and paddle tennis
and pulled out a novel indoor rac-
quet game, paddleball, which is now
enjoying a popular reign on the In-
tramural handball courts.
Regular handball rules, artennis
ball, and a wooden paddle are used.
Since there is no contact between
the player and the ball, paddleball
eliminates the blistered hands which
often 'result from handball. This
advantage has a particular appeal to
dehtal 'and medic students who are
among the game's most faithful par-
ticipants.
