For u week this winter / was confined
TO my bed. During the time ] was in bed
heard about the athletic contests at
tho schools and | determined to have
some contest in spite of being in bed
After little brain work l called my
brother and we started.
We first planned the high jump. For
this event we Tipped one button with
another until one was flipped into a box.
The button that was first Tipped into
the box won and was entitled to five
points
The next event was the broad jump and
for this we secured a hat box. We cut
some holes in the cover and each player
was provided with three marbles. We
were supposed 70 drop the marble in the
holes and the one who dropped three in
first won.
The third and last event was the tug
of-war and for this we used a short
string with knotted ends. We put one
end i'm each of our mouths and tried to
pull the string over a certain mark.
After we were all through we counted
up the points and found out who won
This became popular at home and many
contests were held.
