BALL GAMES
_10 to 30 or more players._
_Playground; gymnasium._
_Basket ball; volley ball._
GROUND
The ground is marked off into a space measuring at least
twenty-five by thirty feet. This is divided across the center by a
straight line. In the further corners of each half so made, a small
square goal is marked out, there being two such goals in each court.
PLAYERS
The players are divided into two even parties, each of which
takes position on one side of the ground and stations a goal man in
each of the goals at the rear of the opposite side.
OBJECT
The object of the game is to throw the ball over the heads of
the opposing party to one's own goal men, who are at the rear of the
opponents' court.
RULES AND POINTS OF PLAY
The players on each side are not bound to
any special territory within their own court, but will naturally see
that each of the goals at their rear is well protected, and will try
to intercept the ball before it can reach these goals. They will also,
of course, try to throw the ball over the opposing party to their own
goal men in the opposite court. No player may cross the line which
divides the two halves of the ground. The goal men may not step
outside of their goals. Any ball caught in this way fails to score. No
opponent may step inside of a goal. When a goal man catches a ball, he
must at once throw it back, trying of course to get it to his own
party over the heads of the opponents, who try to intercept it.
SCORE
Every ball caught by a goal man scores one for the party
throwing. The side first scoring twenty points wins the game.
