Naughts And Crosses

QUIET GAMES
_2 players._
_Indoors; out of doors._
A diagram is drawn on a slate, paper, or the ground, and consists of
two vertical lines, crossed by two horizontal lines. One player
chooses to write "naughts" (o) and the other "crosses" (x). The
players take turns in marking a naught or a cross in one of the nine
places provided by the diagram, the object being to get three naughts
or three crosses in a row. This row may be either vertical,
horizontal, or diagonal.
A score is kept of the games won by each player, and a third score is
kept of the games played in which neither player wins.
This game may be played at the seashore, on the playground, or
wherever the diagram may be traced on the earth.
For school use it is an interesting diversion for pupils who assemble
early before a session opens, or who remain in over a rainy noontime.
