eam does not play the ball: it only dodges the ball. Any
tactics may be used for this except leaving the ring. The dodging may
be done by stepping quickly in one direction or another, by twisting,
stooping, jumping, or any other methods that suggest themselves.

A player of the inner team hit on any part of his person or clothing
by a ball is out. This may be either from the ball on the fly or on a
bounce, or rolling. Only one player may be put out for one throw of
the ball. Should two players be hit by one throw of the ball, the
first one touched by the ball is the one to go out. When a player is
hit, the referee blows his whistle, the play ceases, and the player
hit quickly leaves the circle. The referee blows his whistle again for
the play to resume; but should the hit player not then have left the
circle so that he may be hit a second time, such a second hit scores
one point for the opponents.

SCORE.--The game is played in two halves of ten minutes each, the
teams changing places at the end of the first half. The main scoring
is done by the inner team, which scores one point for each player left
within the circle at the end of its half. The only other scoring is by
the outer team whenever a player is hit a second time before leaving
the circle, each such hit scoring one point for the throwing party.

The team wins which at the end of the second half has the highest
score from these two sources together.

The game as here given was developed by Mr. William A. Stecher.

DOUBLE DODGEBALL

_20 to 60 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

_Basket ball._

The game is played by two opposing teams in a three-court field,
instead of by three teams in such a field as in Progressive
Dodgeball. One team takes its place in the center court, and the
opposing team is equally divided, one half going to each of the end
courts. The teams must be of equal numbers, and for match games have
sixteen players on each.

The game is played in two halves of ten minutes or less each. At the
end of the first half the teams change courts.

The rules for play are exactly the same as for Progressive Dodgeball.
The main difference in the games is in the smaller number of opponents
in the end courts.

This game was devised by Mr. William A. Stecher

PROGRESSIVE DODGEBALL

_15 to 100 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

_Basket ball._

GROUND.--The ground is divided into three equal courts, each 30 x 30
