he must change places with
the center.
The center player will aid his object by using considerable finesse,
appearing to intend sending the ball in one direction, turning
suddenly and sending it in another, etc.
When the ball has been sent out of the circle, the players turn,
facing outward, and the odd man tries to send it back inside according
to the same rules.
