line wins whose original leader first gets back to the front.

As in all games in the schoolroom in which part of the players are
seated while others run, care should be taken that there are no feet
in the aisle over which the runners might trip.

ARCH GOAL BALL

_10 to 60 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

_Basket ball._

The players are divided into groups, and line up in single file in two
or more lines facing a basket ball goal or any substitute. Each line
has a basket ball. At a signal each leader passes the ball backward
overhead, the next player catches it and passes it in the same way,
and so on to the end of the line. When the last player receives the
ball, he runs forward and tries to throw it into the basket, standing
on a line marked from five to ten feet from the goal. He is allowed
but one throw, when he quickly takes his place at the front of his
line (which moves backward one place to make room for him), and at
once passes the ball backward overhead. The last player, in turn, runs
forward, throws for goal, etc. This is repeated until each player in a
line has thrown for the goal. Each goal made scores two points for the
team. The team wins which has the highest score when all of the
players have thrown.

This may also be played on time. Then each player throws until he
succeeds in getting the ball into the basket. The team wins whose last
man finishes first.

BALL CHASE

_4 to 20 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

_Hand ball or substitute._

A row of caps is set against a wall or fence, or a series of holes dug
in the ground. At a point ten or twenty feet from these all of the
players stand, and one selected as thrower throws a ball into one of
the caps or holes. Any substitute may be used for a ball, such as a
small block of wood or a stone. Should he miss, he repeats the throw
until he succeeds. As soon as a ball lands in a cap, the owner of the
cap runs away, and all of the others chase him until caught.

It will be seen that this game may best be played where there is
opportunity for considerable dodging around and behind obstacles. The
player being chased is exempt if he can get back to his own cap before
being caught by the others. If caught, however, he becomes thrower for
the next round; otherwise the first thrower continues in that
position.

In a gymnasium a series of circles may be drawn on the floor in place
of the holes or caps, and a bean bag tossed into
