ROOSTER  FIGHT

(Playground   or  schoolroom.     For   boys   only.)

A  circle  7  feet  in  diameter  is  drawn.  Two  players  take  their  places
within  the  circle.  Each  folds  his  arms,  stands  on  one  foot,  and  tries  to
displace  the  other  by  shouldering.  If  a  player  is  knocked  out  of  the  circle,
or  if  he  touches  the  raised  foot  to  the  ground,  or  if  he  unfolds  his  arms
to  retain  his  balance,  he  loses.  For  team  contests,  each  captain  chooses
one  player  for  each  round.  Each  player  who  wins  scores  one  point  for
his  team.  When  all  have  had  their  turns,  the  team  with  the  largest  total
of  points  wins.
INDIAN  WRESTLING
(Playground  or  schoolroom.     For  boys  only.)

The  wrestlers  lie  on  their  backs  side  by  side,  with  their  arms  locked  and
with  their  feet  extending  in  opposite  directions.  On  each  of  two  counts  the
right  feet  are  raised  and  lowered.  On  count  three,  the  players  lock  heels
and  each  tries  to  roll  the  other  over.  For  team  contests,  each  captain
chooses  a  player  for  the  first  match.  The  player  who  wins  scores  one
point  for  his  team.  The  players  for  the  second  match  are  then  chosen,
and  the  contest  continues  until  all  have  wrestled.  The  team  having  the
largest  total  of  points  wins.
BLACK  AND  WHITE
(Playground.)

Mark  off  three  parallel  lines!  20  feet  apart.  The  outer  lines  are  goal
lines.  One  team  is  named  the  Whites  and  the  other  the  Blacks.  The
Whites  stand  on  one  side  of  the  center  line  and  the  Blacks  on  the  other.
The  leader  has  a  square  block  of  wood,  one  side  of  which  is  white  and  the
other  black.  He  rolls  the  block  of  wood  along  the  line  between  the  teams.
