THE YOUNGSTER'S GAME OF BASKET BALL
FOR TWO PLAYERS

22 inches wide — 12⅞ inches high — 1¼ inches deep

55.9 cm wide — 32.7 cm high — 3.2 cm deep

The top label has a light tan background with no borders or outlines.

"THE GAME" (red, darker at top than at bottom of each letter, medium tan outine) appears at upper left; "OF" (same appearance) is shown below the "E". To the right, "BASKET BALL" (dull green at bottom and golden with golden dots at the top insides of each letter, thin black outline then medium tan then think black outline, then a yellow shadow down and to the right) appears, with some of the letters below the horizontal baseline.

A monochrome basketball hoop (thin black mesh lines with the light tan background) appears at upper right below "THE G". It is attached to a wall that appears to be made of large rctangular stones at right; another such wall appears in the rear. The floor shows a faint pattern of wooden boards.

Ten young women are playing on the basketball court. At left, a woman (blue dress with white stripes around neck, sleeves, and bottom of dress) is shooting a basketball at the hoop. The other 9 young women are shown with their arms and legs moving: two are wearing blue dresses, 3 green, 2 red, 1 tan, and 1 white.

An additional woman appears just right of center (same blue dress) standing with both arms on her hips.
