Yes, indeed, and this is a game that grandfather and grandmother will enjoy. It is surprising how interesting it is for being such a simple game. All the equipment you need is two cues, which are long sticks, and eight discs - round flat pieces of wood. The cues can even be made by taking old mop handles with wire fixtures and shaping thom to fit the discs. The court can be laid on the smooth concrete walk. Two triangular shaped diagrams are painted on the surface about 20 or 30 feot apart; the distance depends on the length of walk you have. | Different numbers are put in the six areas of the triangle. The idea of the game is to push a disc from one end of the court and make it stop in a scoring area of the other triangle. Of course, the opponent trios to knock your scoring dise off. The game may be played as singles er doubles. Really, you should put this game on your walks for grand- father to enjoye What about this game of Tether Ball that I've been hearing about?

Have you ever played the game Brille which Dr. Maismith, tho inventor of basketball, used in his reereative work during the war? Yes, isn't it an interesting game? Have you heard Dr. Naismith tell of its origin? No, I haven't. How did he happen to develop it? During a recreative period as he was watching the soldiers play various games, he noticed a small group playing a sort of hand ball game. They were batting the ball back and forth to each other having it strike the ground on a small designated spot, instead of against a wall. The ground was soft and rough so the ball would not rebound accurately. Dr. Naismith noticed a smooth old door near by and suggested the soldicrs place the door on the ground from which the ball would rebound accurately. This areca 6 by 8 was called the target.
