he usually tits his back in order to spill
the load of headgear. OF course that
means that the fellow who is making
the awkward over is down, and the game
begins anew. In case hats is passed
successfully, the next step is an over,
and the hats are placed on the ground.
After the next over they must be picked
up with the teeth and tossed backward
over the boy who is down To touch
the hat of any other boy in the game,
either picking up or after the toss has
been made, is fault. The game is sell
dom played through, for the mischief,
and therefore the enjoyment, consists in
placing obstacles in the way Of ones
colleagues.
In foot and a4half the down raises
the elevation of his back after each over.
Another variation is to increase the dis
lance from which the leap is made. But
this is dangerous pastime and should
not be INDUCED In.
In sailors bombay the fellow who is
down stays, and every one who makes
fault goes down beside him until the
number of humpbacks becomes too many
to be leaped over.-St. Louis Republic.
