Three Scout Staves are set up in tripod form and tied at the top. A circle
about eight yards in diameter is formed by the players around the staves, and
each player, by drawing a line in front of him, helps to establish a circle from
which to throw.
The object of the game is to throw a basket ball and hit the tripod. This,
the man who is "It," tries to prevent by standing close to the staves and batting
the thrown ball with hand or fist. The throwers must not step over the line, and
generally throw the ball about from one to another in order to confuse the man
in the center.
If the staves are hit the thrower is It, it being considered an honor to play
in the center. If the ball is batted and caught on the fly, the catcher is It.
In hitting the staves a bounded ball does not count.
