already described.

If it is a player on "outs" that makes a miss, then the "inners" count
one for each miss or foul. A foul is when the ball goes below the

The Outs cannot count when the Ins miss, but they take the place of
the Ins and the Ins are out. After the first hand up or play it is
unnecessary that the ball should rebound beyond the taw line. Fifteen
points make a game. In England the boys have the same game under the
name of Fives.

standing alone and with lots of space on either side for running.

After sides are chosen and all are ready, divide into two groups, each

"Anthony Over," or "House Over."

One of those on the opposite side must try to catch the ball before it
reaches the ground and if he succeeds, he shouts, "Over! Over! Over!"
at the same time rushing around one end of the building. Those on the
