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. CIRCLE ZIGZAG (See _Zigzag Games_.) CLUB BOWLS Four forms of this game are given in this volume in alphabetic order. Two are in line formation and two in circle formation, as follows:-- 1. Line Club Bowls.--(Single) (Relay formation, one club bowled over.) 2. Line Club Bowls.--(Double) (Relay formation, ball or bag bowled between two clubs.) 3. Circle Club Bowls.--(Ring formation, clubs outside of ring.) 4. Center Club Bowls.--(Ring formation, three clubs in center.) See also _Battle Ball_ and _Bombardment_. CORNER BALL (See also _Double Corner Ball_.) _10 to 30 or more players._ _Playground; gymnasium._ _Basket ball; volley ball._ [Illustration Diagram: CORNER BALL] GROUND.--The ground is marked off into a space measuring at least twenty-five by thirty feet.

OBJECT.--The object of the game is to throw the ball over the heads of the opposing party to one's own goal men, who are at the rear of the opponents' court. RULES AND POINTS OF PLAY.--The players on each side are not bound to any special territory within their own court, but will naturally see that each of the goals at their rear is well protected, and will try to intercept the ball before it can reach these goals. They will also, of course, try to throw the ball over the opposing party to their own goal men in the opposite court. No player may cross the line which divides the two halves of the ground. The goal men may not step outside of their goals. Any ball caught in this way fails to score. No opponent may step inside of a goal. When a goal man catches a ball, he must at once throw it back, trying of course to get it to his o
