ll as it is passed
backward.

2. Every player (except a returning player) who turns to face
the next one and hand the ball instead of passing it backward
overhead.

3. A returning player tossing the ball to the head of the file.

4. The head player standing forward of the starting line.

5. A runner touching the goal as he encircles it.

The teams win in the order of finishing if there be no fouls.
One foul disqualifies a team unless the competing teams have
made an equal or greater number of fouls. In such a case the
teams win in the order of finishing, plus consideration of the
smallest record on fouls. A team finishing second, for example,
with no fouls, would win over a team finishing first with one
or more fouls.

Teams Order of Finishing Number of Fouls Order of Winning

A 1 3
B 4 2 Third place
C 2 2 Second place
D 3 0 First place

PIG IN A HOLE

_10 to 60 players._

_Playground; seashore; gymnasium._

_Basket ball._

[Illustration diagram: PIG IN A HOLE]

Each player should be provided with a stick about three feet long.
This may be made by whittling branches, or a gymnasium wand or piece
of broomstick may be used. A hole is dug in the ground measuring
twelve or fifteen inches in diameter. All of the players but one stand
in a circle around this, with several feet between each two players so
that they may move freely. Each player digs a small hole in the ground
in front of his place in the circle, the hole to measure about four
inches in diameter. The game is played with a basket ball, although a
smaller ball may be used, in which case the center hole need not be
quite so large, though it should be somewhat larger than the ball
used.

The game consists in the odd player trying (1) to get the ball (the
"pig") into the center hole with his stick, which all of the other
players will try to prevent; and (2) the odd player trying to be
released from his position by placing the end of his stick in one of
the small holes belonging to one of the circle players, which he can
only do when the player in question has his own stick out of it.
