The players are divided into two teams formed in two lines about three
feet apart, facing in opposite directions.

Goal

The leader has a disk painted black on one side and white on the other.
A coin may be used in place of a disk. In front of each party at a
distance of about fifteen paces is a goal. The leader throws up the
disk. If the white side is up when the disk has alighted, he calls out
"Day." The day party then rushes toward its goal and the night party
pursues, catching as many of the "Day" party as possible. These they
take back to their own goal. The captured members are now out of the
game. The sides return to their places and the disk is thrown up again.
The game is continued until all players on one of the sides are out.
