III. MISCELLANEOUS FEATS

ANKLE THROW.--This feat consists in tossing some object over the head
from behind with the feet. A bean bag, book, or basket ball, is held
firmly between the ankles. With a sudden jump, the feet are kicked
backward so as to jerk the object into an upward throw, which should
end in its curving forward over the head. It should be caught as it
comes down.

ARM'S LENGTH TAG.--Two players stand each with an arm extended at full
length at shoulder level, and try to touch each other without being
touched in return. This will require some rapid twisting, dodging, and
bending. A touch on the extended hand does not count.

BACKSLIDING.--The hands are placed palm to palm behind the back with
the fingers pointing downward and thumbs next to the back. Keeping the
tips of the fingers close to the back and the palms still together,
the hands are turned inward and upward until the tips of the fingers
are between the shoulders, pointing upward toward the head, and the
thumbs outside.

CATCH PENNY.--One elbow is raised level with the shoulder, the arm
being bent to bring the hand toward the chest. Three or four pennies
are placed in a pile on the bent elbow. Suddenly the elbow is dropped
and the same hand moved downward quickly in an effort to catch the
pennies before they fall to the ground.

CHINESE GET-UP.--Two persons sit on the floor back to back with arms
locked, and retaining such relative positions they try to stand
upright.

COIN AND CARD SNAP.--Balance a visiting card on the tip of the middle
or forefinger. On top of the card place a dime or nickle; this should
be exactly over the tip of the finger and in the middle of the card.
Snap the edge of the card with a finger of the other hand, so that the
card will be shot from under the coin and leave the coin balanced on
the finger.

DOG COLLAR.--Two players on hands and knees on a mat, rug, or cushion,
face each other with about three feet distance between them. A knotted
towel or a strap, or anything that will not chafe or cut the flesh, is
thrown over both heads like a collar, being long enough to encircle
the two. The head should be held well upward to prevent this from
slipping off. At a signal, the players pull against each other, each
trying to pull the opponent from the mat or to pull the collar from
around his neck.

DOG JUMP.--The performer holds a stick horizontally between the
forefingers of his hands, pressing with the fingers
