People who have not been able to
get away from the summer heat this
year might, if it gets hot again, enjoy
some of the games which are guar
anteed to cool one off. A game de-
scribed in one of the current maya
zines is called Waterloo tag and may
be played in any back yard where
there is garden hose. The player,
who is 1T" is called Loo" and the
rest of the players get the water In
order to determine who is Tt in the
beginning you may use the same
method employed by amateur baseball
teams in choosing sides. You may
grip the hose alternately, one hand
over the other you see the small
boys do the ball bat. He whose hand
grips the nozzle of the hose is Tt
Thereafter the water is turned on and
a simple game of tag is commenced,
the other players striving for the
privilege of being Tt by slapping the
person with the hose on the back The
fun of the game comes in thru the
effort of TT or LOO to protect
himself and keep the others at bay
by turning the hose on them. This
game is said by those who have tried
it to be great fun for the onlookers
as well as for those who are playing.
