Stealing Sticks

_10 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

The ground is divided into two equal parts, with a small goal marked
off at the rear of each part, in which six sticks are placed. Each
player who reaches the enemy's goal safely may carry one stick back to
his own goal, and may not be caught while carrying it back. If caught
in the enemy's territory before reaching the goal, a player must
remain a prisoner in the goal until touched by one of his own side;
neither may be caught while returning. Any player may catch any
opponent, except under the rules just stated. No stick may be taken by
a side while any of its men are prisoners. The game is won by the side
gaining all of the sticks.



This game is known also by the name of Scots and English and
probably originated in border warfare. The players sometimes
contribute some article of wearing apparel to the pile of
property that is to be stolen instead of using sticks for the
purpose. Caps and coats are the usual donations.
