_3 to 15 players._
_Playground; gymnasium._
This game is usually played with boys' caps, but knotted handkerchiefs
or balls of crumpled paper may be used. One player is the cock; he is
blindfolded and stands in a stride position with his feet wide apart
sideways. The other players stand in turn at a point five to ten feet
behind him, and throw their caps forward as far as possible between
his legs. After the caps are all thrown, each player moves forward and
stands beside his own cap. The cock then crawls on all fours, still
blindfolded, until he reaches a cap. The player whose cap is first
touched at once becomes an object of chase by the other players, who
are at liberty to "pommel" him when he is captured. He then becomes
cock for the next round of the game.
