44 Woodcraft Birch Bark Roll at the end of a tape, each with a pair of sharp scissors. At the signal, each “horse” starts to cut through the center of the tape, taking care not to cut horizontally across, the one finishing first being the winner. If he cuts the tape off, he is counted out. | Knots may be tied in the tape to increase the fun and the difficulty. | Crane Dive Fold a piece of paper, a foot long, and stand it upright on the floor. Hold one foot with the opposite hand reaching across behind the back. Bend down and pick up the paper with your teeth, without losing your balance or touching the floor with any part of your body except the one support- ing foot. Advantage Wrestling A and B each attempt to get behind opponent’s back; and, in that position, grasp him firmly about the waist, which ac- complishment constitutes a fall for the one grasped. William Tell Race At signal, all start from line, each carrying an apple on his head. The first to arrive safely at goal, with apple transported without help of hands, is winner. If the apple falls, the player may pick it up, but must start again at line. Freeze This game is best played by two persons, one of whom is the Hunter and the other the Animal being stalked. Much fun can be added by telling the Animal what species he is to be, such as Rabbit, Bear, etc. They circle about the ring, each portraying his part to the best of his ability, the Hunter carefully stalking the game; and the Animal warily moving away, sniffing the wind and keeping an occasional eye on its back trail. At the word “Freeze,” both come immediately to a dead standstill, and remain in that position until one or the other sways, winks an eyelid, or otherwise stirs a mus- cle. The one with the most control wins the hunt.
