This game Is much liked By young
players, and even college girls enjoy 1t
as a change. The players form in two
solid lines facing each other and sit
ting on the fioor about four feet apart
Two players, the captains. stand at op-
posite ends OF the path formed BY the
lines. A basketball is rolled By one Of
them ON the floor between the lines,
and the players sitting on the door try
to kick the bali over the heads OF the
opposite line. They must keep their
hands on the floor and use their feet
only.
When the ball IL kicked over a point
Is counted for the team making the
kick. The other captain then takes
the ball and rolls It from his end The
game continues until one team makes
the number Of points previously agreed
on.
