_5 to 30 or more players._

_Playground._

All of the players stand in an informal group. One of them is provided
with a stick about the size of a broomstick and about two feet long.
He throws this as far as he can, at the same time calling the name of
one of the other players. The one who threw the stick, and all the
others except the one whose name is called, then scatter in a run. The
one who is called must pick up the stick, whereupon he becomes "Hip"
and must chase the other players. Any player whom he catches he
touches with the stick (pounding not allowed), and that player at once
joins him in trying to catch the others. Any one caught by the second
player, however, must be held by him until Hip can come and touch the
prisoner with the stick, whereupon he also joins Hip's party. As the
number of players with Hip increases, there may be some pretty lively
"tussling" on the part of players who are caught, pending the arrival
of Hip to touch them with the stick, as he may have several to reach
in this way, and the interval may be considerable in which the captor
must hold his victim. The game ends when all of the players have been
touched by Hip.
