This is a leapfrog game in which the distance of the back from the
jumping line is advanced after each round a "foot and a half,"
measured in a certain way called a "par." The game starts with the
back at a given distance from the line. After each player has
"overed," the back places one foot with the outer edge on the line on
which he has been standing, puts the heel of the other foot against
the instep so that the second foot will be at right angles to the
first, and marks a new line at the point where the toes come. The new
line is thus the length of one foot in advance of the first line, plus
the width of the other foot at the instep. The players then leap again
from the starting line, and as the back moves farther away, they add
to their leaps each time, as becomes necessary for the greater
distance, as follows: (1) leap; (2) hop and leap; (3) hop twice and
leap; (4) hop three times and leap; (5) hop, skip, jump, and leap.
Any player failing to "over" changes places with the back.
