ss. As
one team (Blues) may play faster than the other (Reds), it is not
necessary that Number Six of the Red team and Number Six of the Blue
team, for example, should be on the center throwing bases at the same
time. The two games go on independently of each other.

FOULS.--The overstepping of boundaries in ways not allowed by the
rules score one for the opponents.

SCORE.--A goal keeper scores one point for his team every time that he
catches a ball which has not been touched by one of the guards around
his goal. A ball caught by a goal keeper after being touched by a
guard does not score.

In addition to the score made by goal keepers, a guards' score is
kept, each player counting the number of balls he catches and holds,
no matter where he be standing, whether in his position as guard or in
the center base from which he is to be thrower. Such a catch by a
guard scores one point, the guards reporting their points at the end
of the game. Touching the ball does not score under any circumstances.
It must be caught and held.

Fouls score for opponents, as stated under "Fouls."

The score for the game for either side is the sum of all of the balls
caught, according to the above rules, by the goal keepers and guards
on that side. The game is usually played on time limits of from twenty
to forty minutes.

For experienced players, scoring by guards may be omitted if desired.
The particular object of this feature is to encourage guards to expert
work in catching the ball, instead of merely interfering.

DRIVE BALL

_10 to 30 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

_Basket ball; volley ball._

This is one of the most interesting games for players beginning to
care for team work. The writer has known some boys to play the game
persistently for several seasons in succession.

GROUND.--A court measuring from thirty to fifty feet in length by
twenty to thirty in width is divided into two equal parts, forming two
courts, each of which should be a little wider than it is long. A goal
about two by four feet is marked in the center rear of each court,
within the boundary lines. It facilitates the game if the end of each
court may be a wall or fence, and thus make sort of a backstop behind
the goal.

Each court has bases marked at even distances over its surface,
wherein the different players stand. These may be marked simply as a
cross fo
