Games 33 ring. Each charges at whomever is next him, until only one is left standing. After 3 such battles, the 3 victors run off a final. This has the advantage of engaging a larger number of contestants than the Chicken Duel. Talk-Fest Two contestants are placed facing each other. At the word “Go!”, both start talking on any subject, regardless of the other. The object is to keep up a steady stream of talk until the referee shouts “Time!’’ at the end of one minute. Points are given for sequence of thought in the speech, success in getting the story across, action to illustrate the story, and continuity of sound. Song-Fest This is conducted in the same way as the TaLk-FEst, ex- cept that the contestants sing instead of talking, different melodies at the same time. Sometimes this is done by two groups instead of two individuals. Whistling Match This is another variation of the Sonc-FEst and the TALk- Fest. The opponents whistle different tunes simultaneously. Posing and Pantomimes There is no end to the funny possibilities of a dumb-show without accessories which is what we mean by “Posing” and “Movies.” Poses, sometimes called Statues or Tableaux vivants, are simply ideas or expressions or attitudes, given by several persons at the same time. They strike the pose and keep it without moving till the decision is made as to which has given the best expression to the thought. The following subjects are suggestive: Answer to a masher. On seeing a mouse. On seeing a ghost. On feeling a cramp.
