Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Games Sports: For Schools, Clubs,& Gymnasia, With and Without Apparatus This game is very suitable for girls, and has the advantage of requiring no apparatus, and affording recreation for a large number at one time. I will describe it as being played by about forty girls, though any number can play, providing there is sufficient space at command. Assuming we have a square playground, we form the girls into two lines of twenty each, with their backs turned to the side walls of the ground, and the lines themselves facing each other. The girls will now catch hold of each others hands, and keeping straight lines, will advance towards each other, dancing or tripping as they come forward. When within a short distance of each other, and at a signal from the teacher, the lines bow, and retreat tripping backwards. At another signal they again advance, this time with raised arms, the joined hands thus forming a series of apexes. When within a close distance the right hand line stoop, release hands, and pass under the apexes formed by the raised arms of the left line. Again joining hands, the lines continue dancing until the sides of the playground are reached; here they pivot around and dance towards each other again. When they meet in the centre, the left line will stoop and pass under the raised arms of the right line, continuing dancing until the sides of the ground are once more reached; here, pivoting, they again face inwards.
