(Double Zigzag)
_20 to 100 players._
_Playground; gymnasium; schoolroom._
_Any ball; bean bag._
This form of zigzag ball is a combination of the two previously
described.
The players are divided into groups which compete against each other.
Each group is divided in turn into two ranks which stand facing each
other at a distance of five feet, the individual players being from
two to five feet apart.
The players in each rank number off in twos, beginning at the head
with different numbers, so that a Number One in each rank will stand
opposite a Number Two in the opposite rank.
One or more balls are used and are thrown to alternate players,
Numbers One throwing to each other all down the line, and the Numbers
Two throwing to each other all the way back. There should be nothing
to distinguish the players from one another, each being dependent on
his own memory and alertness to know to whom he is to throw the ball
and from whom he is to receive it. The particular success of this game
lies in having a very considerable number of balls in play at once. In
this form the balls do not have to accumulate at the foot of the lines
before being returned to the head, as the last Number One player to
receive the ball tosses it directly across to the last Number Two
player, who begins at once to zigzag it up the line.

The group wins which first succeeds in getting all of its balls back
to the head of the line.
