UND.--The ground for this game should be outlined in a square
measuring about forty by forty feet. In each corner is marked a small
goal, the two goals at one end belonging to one team, say the Blues,
and the two goals at the other end belonging to the opposing, or Red,
team. Near the center are marked two small circular goals for the
throwers of the different teams. The thrower for the Red team stands
in the center goal farthest removed from the red corners; the thrower
for the Blue team in the goal farthest removed from the Blue corners.

Two basket balls are needed for the game.

TEAMS.--Any number of players, from fourteen to one hundred, may play.
These are divided into two teams. While it is advisable to have the
two teams even in numbers, an odd player may be assigned to either
team.

Each team chooses its own captain. Each captain selects two goal
keepers, players who can jump and catch well being best for this
position. These two goal keepers are assigned to goals at the same end
of the ground, each being guarded by guards from the opposite team. If
desired, a halt may be called during the game, and the goal keepers
changed for others designated by the captain. This is sometimes
desirable to rest players filling this arduous position, and sometimes
for the purpose of distributing among the players opportunities for
this kind of play.

The remaining players are guards, and are divided by the captain into
two parties, one for each of the opponents' corner goals. The
following method has been found to work quickly and well for this
purpose: The captain lines up his players and numbers them, taking any
number that he chooses for himself. Those having odd numbers are sent
to guard one goal, and those having even numbers to guard the other
goal. Each guard should remember well his number, as there is a
constant rotation of players according to number.

OBJECTS OF GAME.--The first object of the game is for a thrower on the
center base to throw a ball to one of the corner goal men of his own
team; each ball so caught by the goal keeper scores. One very
distinctive feature of this game is the fact that each guard becomes,
in turn, thrower for his team.

Another object of the game is for the guards to prevent the corner
goal men from catching the ball. This is not only for defensive play,
to prevent the opponents from scoring, but has a positive value, there
