favored by the wind, and the other team have the kick-off
If a strong wind is blowing, the winner of the toss-up takes the side
favored by the wind, and the other team have the kick-off. If there is
no wind to speak of, and no great advantage in either goal, the winner
of the toss-up chooses the kick-off, and the other side have the
choice of goals.
and which only the strong and active would care to carry out if
pleasure in the strenuous sport were not its own great reward
Along the field the ball is urged, in ways presently to be explained,
and which only the strong and active would care to carry out if
pleasure in the strenuous sport were not its own great reward.
his own blankets, in a roll, the case resting on the right shoulder
If the pack is heavy, it may be lightened by having each camper carry
his own blankets, in a roll, the case resting on the right shoulder. I
would advise each to carry a canteen if there is danger of your being
long away from good water.

diving from a canoe under the bottom of a great ocean steamer
In the Bay of Apia, in the Samoan Islands, I have seen native boys
diving from a canoe under the bottom of a great ocean steamer. On one
occasion a boy brought up from a depth of fifty feet a silver coin
that had been tossed overboard to test his skill.
cry was ‘Ubub!’ from whence comes our word hubbub, meaning a
confusion
The ancient Greeks joined in battle with shouts of ‘Eleleu!’ The Welsh
cry was ‘Ubub!’ from whence comes our word hubbub, meaning a
confusion. The Irish war shout was nearly like that of the Greek,
being ‘Ullulu!’ The Scotch clans had each its own shout or slogan; the
pibroch being the chant of the march to battle.
This is one of the oldest and best games. The ring should be from four
to ten feet in diameter. The ducks are placed in the form of a cross,
in the middle of the ring, the number each is to ‘whack up’ being
agreed upon in advance. The order of play is usually decided on by
knuckling down and rolling for the opposite side of the ring. The
first player ‘lofts’ at the ducks. He must drive the marble outside
the ring for a win. If his own taw goes outside, the successful player
can come back to the ring edge for his next shot. If it is a miss and
the taw goes outside the ring, it must be replaced inside at the
point of exit. When a taw is struck the owner is ‘dead’ for that game,
and the successful player keeps on shooting till he misses.
of an article, as above described, but to secretly change it for a
substitute of similar appearance
The various passes may be employed not only to cause the disappearance
of an article, as above described, but to secretly change it for a
substitute of similar appearance. These exchanges are of continual use
in conjuring; indeed, we may almost say that three parts of its
marvels depends on them. Such an exchange having been made, the
substitute is left in sight of the audience, while the performer,
having thus secretly gained possession of the original, disposes of it
as may be necessary for the purpose of the trick.
line
differs from the foregoing game, in the fact that there is no taw
line. The player shoots from one end at the middle hole. If he
succeeds, he is entitled to a span, and he keeps on as before till he
becomes a king. Before this, he can take but one span in any
direction, but as a king, he can take one foot measure–his own foot
–and a span from the first hole; two feet and a span from the second
hole, and three feet and a span from the third hole. This gives him a
great advantage, and if there is no rival king he is ‘Monarch of all
he surveys.’ If there is a second king, the first one assigns him the
first hole to guard, because from this he can take only one foot and a
span. When all become kings, or the points agreed on are won, the game
is over.
