Abstract: A protective head gear or helmet having a ventilating system for cooling the interior of the helmet. Air inlet and outlet openings in the front and neck portions respectively of the helmet and air passages connected to the openings communicate with the interior of the helmet by means of apertures extending between the helmet interior and the air passages. Flow of air through the interior of the helmet, caused by relatively high pressure at the inlet openings and relatively low pressure or suction at the outlet openings during forward movement of the wearer when operating a vehicle, is controlled by valve mechanism operated from the exterior of the helmet.

Abstract: The soccer-type game includes a simulated playing field having a goal at each end into which a ball is to be "kicked" by any one of a number of small plastic players. The players are mounted on various laterally extending shafts journaled in spaced side walls so that the shafts can be shifted or slid transversely to bring selected players into optimum kicking positions and then rocked or rotated to cause a given player to kick the ball toward one goal or the other. The shafts are of a tubular construction composed of a polyester matrix containing graphite fibers, a lead insert being used to impart a desired and uniform mass to a given set of shafts.
