President Hoover Plays Medicine Ball

Nicknamed the Medicine Ball Cabinet, President Hoover's advisors often came to the White House, upon the president's request, for breakfast and exercise. Here, Hoover and members of his Cabinet play Medicine Ball on the South Lawn of the White House. To play, the heavy medicine ball was thrown over the net.
