ely a defensive game, the score being made on
opponents' fouls and failures. Aside from fouls, only the serving side
scores. A good serve unreturned scores one point for the serving side.
A point is similarly scored by the serving side at any time when the
opponents fail to return a ball which is in play. Failure of the
serving side to return a ball to the opponents' court merely puts them
out; that is, the serve passes to the opponents, but no score is made
on the failure. Should a player touching the net be on the receiving
side, the serving side scores one point. A ball sent under the net is
out of play and counts against the side which last struck it, their
opponents scoring one point. If the ball strikes any object outside
the court and bounds back, although it is still in play, it counts
against the side which struck it out, their opponents scoring one
point. A ball sent out of bounds by the receiving side in returning a
service scores one point for the serving side. One point is scored for
the opponents whenever a player catches the ball, or holds it for even
an instant. The game consists of twenty-one points.

WALL BALL DRILL

(See also _Hand Ball Drill_.)

_2 to 10 players._

_Out of doors; gymnasium._

_Hand ball._

This drill consists in throwing a ball against a wall, and
catching it, with the following variations. It may be used for
individual play, or for competition between two players, or as
a game for large numbers. When used for large numbers, the
players should be divided into several teams of equal numbers,
each player throwing in turn for as many feats as he can
perform without failure, each successful feat or play scoring
one point for his team. He gives place to the next player upon
failing.

Each play should be first performed by allowing the ball to bounce
once on the ground before catching it; later it should be caught
without the bound.

1. Throw the ball against the wall, let it bounce once, and catch it;
repeat this three times.

2. Throw, and clap hands three times before catching.

3. Throw, and twirl the hands around each other before catching.

4. Throw, and clap hands and touch the right shoulder.

5. Throw, clap hands, and touch the left shoulder.

6. Throw three times with the right hand and catch with the same hand.

7. Throw three times with the left hand and catch with the same hand.

8. Throw with the right han
