 M 11920 Eifeig back. Other players, by dint of long practice, manage to hold their suitcase, umbrellas and elbows, each at right angles to the other and then gyrate in the manner of a weather vane. This sort of thing is called a “spread misere” and should be abolished from the game. However, each player may develop his own style of interior play and so many are the opportunities that they cannot be dwelt upon in this brief article. There is, though, a legalized form of play carried on from the interior, which is known as the “pass play.” This consists of giving the stop signal when you are already halfway past your floor. If the king player backs the box up and lets you out at your floor, you score one. On the other hand, if he says: “BLINKETY— “ “ :‘ —XZY V$(” and keeps on going, you lose and all the onlooking players laugh heartily and score one. At the last part of each inning there is the “exit situation”- and many opportunities arc open for action with a high degree of skill. As soon as the destined floor is reached the king player gives the signal to play by opening the gate. Then it is up to the player who has been elected as “the goat,” usually by his position near the doorway, to commence the exit. While the goat is attempting to step through the doorway, the “jog player” must act. He must surge forward and jam the goat violently against the iron framework; if he succeeds in breaking the goat's ribs he scores one. If the goat be a member of the faculty the object is to first stun him and then kick him in the face. If this latter is done it constitutes a “natural” and you are allowed to “shoot the works.” The game, considered on the whole, is undoubtedly an excellent one. It is a clean and invigorating sport and just the thing to produce a sturdy and valiant America. Alas! Recently there has crept into the game the “safety first play.” This is a low. mean and contemptible form of play. In this feature the spineless being who makes the play gets in at the fourth floor and rides to the fifth in order to reach his destination in the basement, or vice versa from main to basement, etc. The player caught at this sort of thing should be tarred and feathered and be barred from all further con- tests. I appeal to you. let the noble game continue as of yore, lest the goodly arts of kicking, biting and gouging be lost for evermore. D. A. R.
