Basketball

This program simulates a game of basketball between Dartmouth
College and an opponent of your choice. You are the Dartmouth
captain and control the type of shot and defense during the
course of the game.
There are four types of shots: 1. Long Jump Shot (30 ft.),
2. Short Jump Shot (15 ft.), 3. Lay Up, and 4. Set Shot.
Both teams use the same defense, but you may call it: Press (6),
Man-to-man (6.5), Zone (7), or None (7.5). To change defense,
type "0" as your next shot.
Note: The game is biased slightly in favor of Dartmouth. The
average probability of a Dartmouth shot being good is 62.95%
compared to a probability of 61.85% for their opponent.
(This makes the sample run somewhat remarkable in that Cornell
won by a score of 51 to 35. Hooray for the Big Red!)

In many sources it says that it was created in 1978 or 1979, but that is the date of the publication of David Ahl, in 101 Basic Games.
