Guard the Staves
|
|
by G. S. RipleyThree Scout Staves are set up in tripod form and tied at the top. A circle about eight yards in diameter is formed by the players around the staves, and each player, by drawing a line in front of him, helps to establish a circle from which to throw. The object of the game is to throw a basket ball and hit the tripod. This, the man who is "It," tries to prevent by standing close to the staves and batting the thrown ball with hand or fist. The throwers must not step over the line, and generally throw the ball about from one to another in order to confuse the man in the center. If the staves are hit the thrower is It, it being considered an honor to play in the center. If the ball is batted and caught on the fly, the catcher is It. In hitting the staves a bounded ball does not count. |
