ew Basketball Game Exhibited N ll 's W Donkeys played basketball on a regulation gym floor, clad in rubber shoes. I a ' r Up, up and away! And play began in the donkey basketball game. 53 Basketball, to most people, is a game of competition between two teams. The teams are trained through practices, to work as a team, not as individuals. Quincy College observed a different type of basketball this year. It was called donkey basketball. The game was played between two teams on a regulation basketball court. The game, however, required the players to ride donkeys, who were clad in rubber shoes. The name of the game was basketball, but the greatest competition was not between teams, but between donkeys and riders. The donkeys, who were slow movers, didn't want riders and scoring had to be done from the back of the donkey. Needless to say, it was a new and entertaining way to play basketball.
