INDIAN WRESTLE

Two players lie on their backs side by side, with adjacent arms locked. The feet should be in opposite directions. At a sigfnal the adjacent legs are brought to an upright position and interlocked at the knees. Thje wrestle consists in trying to force the opponent to roll over from his position.

KNEE AND TOW WRESTLE

Two players sit on a nat, facing each other. The knees should be drawn up closely and the players should be near engouh together to have the toes of each touch those of the opponent. Each player passes a stick under his knees, and then passes his arms under it and clasps his hands in front of this own knees. The wrestling begins at a signal and consists in each player trying to get his toes under those of his opponent and throw him backward.

ROOSTER RIGHT

This is an old Greek amusement. A ring six feet in diameter is drawn on the ground. Two players are placed in this, who stoop and grasp each his own ankles. In this position they try to displace each other by shouldering. The player loses who is overthrown or who loosens his grasp on his ankles. More than one player may be placed in the circle.

CATCH PENNY

One elbow is raised level with the shoulder, the arm being bent to bring the hand toward the chest. Three or four pennies are placed in a pile on the bent elbow. Suddenly the elbow is dropped and the same hanmd moved downward quickly in an effort to catch the pennies before they fall to the ground.

CHINESE GET-UP

Two persons sit on the floor back to back with arms locked, and retaining such relative positions they try top stand upright. (If easily successful they can then flip the other one over the back)

PICK ME UP

The performer is required to stand against the wall, drop a handkerchief at his feet, and without bending the knees stoop and pick up the handkerchief.

PICK UP AND PUSH OUT

A line is drawn about two feet from a wall, which is toed by the performer, facing the wall. Between the line and wall is placed a stool directly in front of the performer. The player leans forward, puts the top of his head against the wall, picks up the stool with this hands, and pushes himself backward to an upright position, getting and inpetus from the head onnly, and lifting the stool as he does so.

SKIN THE SNAKE

This is a feat for several performers - from five to fifty or more. The players stand in a line, one behind another, with a short distance between Each player vends forward and stretches on hand backward between his legs, while with the other hand he grasps that of the player in front, who has assumed the same position. When all of the line as in position, the line begins backing, the player at the rear end of the line lying down on his back, and the next player walking backward astride over him until he can go no farther, when he also lies down with the first player's head between his legs. This backing and lying down movement continues until all the players are lying in a straight line on the floor. The the last one to lie down gets up and walks astride the line toward the front, raising the man next behind him to his feet, and so on until all again are standing in the original positiion. The grasp of hands is retained throughout. (This game is of Chinese origin, it makes a very funny spectacle, expecially if done rapidly.)

WOODEN SOLDIER

The arms are folded across the chest. In this position the performer is required to lie down on the back and rise again to an upright standing position, without assistance from eight hands or elbows.
