as one member of a team has been dislodged, another may take
his place and the game continues until all of one team have been
eliminated.

Hammer Throw

An inflated paper bag tied on the end of a yard of string is used as
the hammer for this event. Each contestant by swinging the bag from the
end of the string tries to throw it as great a distance as possible.

Twenty Yard Dash

Contestants carry an egg to the distance line and return with a spoon
held at full arm's length from the body.

Running Broad Grin

Have each competitor grin as broadly as possible. The judges measure
the grins with a tape measure.

Light Weight Race

Contestants carry a lighted candle in one hand and a glass or bowl brim
full of water in the other. If the water is spilled over or the candle
blows out, the contestant is out of the race.

Javelin Throw

Contestants endeavor to throw a short stick through a rolling hoop.

One Mile Run

Contestants are required to add a column of figures, the total of which

Long Glum

The player who can keep from smiling the longest in spite of the jeers
and efforts to make him laugh, on the part of the others, wins.

Turtle Race

Contestants lie flat upon their backs and throw an object over their
heads with their two feet, for distance.

Elimination Race

An equal number of chalk marks are made upon the floor in front of each
contestant. A damp rag is then handed to each, and at the signal to go
they are to run to and rub off the chalk mark on the floor. After
erasing each mark, they must return to the starting line. When the last
mark has been erased and the contestant crosses the starting line, the
race ends.

beforehand how many participants he wants in each stunt. If, in the
first stunt, he desires six participants, he will have prepared six
