Whirlyball is a team sport invented by Stan Mangum that combines elements of basketball and jai alai (a sport involving a ball bounced off a walled space by accelerating it to high speeds with a hand-held device), or rather a combination of lacrosse and bumper cars, with the players riding Whirlybugs, small electric vehicles similar to bumper cars. Because play requires a special court, it is played in only a handful of locations in the United States and Canada. Digitization completed with funds from a 2017 USHRAB (Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board) Grant that was awarded to Salt Lake Community College, Library Services.
