Corner Spry_10 to 60 players._
_Playground; gymnasium; schoolroom._
_Balls; bean bags._
The players are divided into four groups, one group stationed in each
corner called North, South, East, and West.
Four captains stand in the center, each with a bean bag, facing his
corner of players, who stand in a row. The captain throws the bean bag
to each player in turn in his group, who throws it back at once to the
captain, and so on until the last player is reached. As the captain
throws to his last player he calls "Corner Spry!" and runs to the head
of the row, the last player becoming captain. The group that first
succeeds in having all of its players in the captain's place wins the
game.
This game was originated by Miss Amy A. Young of Cleveland,
Ohio, and received honorable mention in a competition for
schoolroom games conducted by the Girls' Branch of the Public
Schools Athletic League of New York City in 1906. It is here
published by the kind permission of the author, and of the
Girls' Branch, and of Messrs. A. G. Spalding & Brothers,
publishers of the handbook in which the game first appeared.
