_10 to 100 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

The players are lined up in two or more single files, as for the
simplest form of leapfrog, but the game is a race between the
different files.

The first player takes his place on the starting or taw line and makes
a "back," with his head away from the file. The next player
immediately jumps over and makes a back one pace forward of the first
player. The third jumps over the backs of the two and makes a third
back, and so on until all are down, when the first player jumps over
all in succession, but steps one side when he has vaulted over the
last back. The others all follow.

The line wins which is first reduced to one player in the position of
"back." In other words, when every player in the line has jumped over
the back of every other player.

A burlesque on this game, which has in it some good sport and
exercise, consists in crawling between the feet of the players instead
of jumping over their backs. This may be done for every player in the
line, or the two methods alternated, leaping over the back of one,
crawling between the feet of the next, etc.
