. ..o j .- THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGOIT' 7 f ' . I - .V " ' iib " " 'j MMM.MM.MMM.MMMMMMMM, . -,1 - J.. hi nA ' -ThST r - 0 77x"; .TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, 1923 Boys 5 ..&mmirajn JVIany JCinds . of Out-of-door-Activities Outing Consists of More Than Making Camp, Swimming, Fishing-, Laying Around and Then Going Homo; Sportsman 'Discovers ' 9 2 - BY. C ELSOM (Courtesy -'-The-. American . Boy" "These summer, camps," I heard a fellow, say to two- other boys re cently, "are all right for the first three days. - The first- day, you make - camp and get ; settled, tnd the second you-scout around and swim : and explore the lake a.h4 the third you fish. ; . Then you haven't a - new ; thing to : do until you break camp. , Pretty slow slow stuff, I call it." That fellow's camp was 4I0W jnighty Blow. If he and his gang M.arl Wn nn thai- to9 thev'd have ..plenty to keep 'them busy for ii three times as long as their camp lasted. There are so many games f and contests and competitions any hunch, any place, can "fall back on that the- camp or the group of boys with nothing to do automa tically casts reflections on its own ingenuity. A , . ,. - One ot the best contests Is the treasure hunt. A. boy, chosen by ballot, or thd camp leader may. direct, it. The director explains to the campers that, their job is to find "some 'p-rticular "treasure" in the woods, .and that .the first Ho return'-with his "treasure" get? five points. Second gets three, third .one. ;. "Ready," now! Go out and get me a live frog!" - - - A dash and a splash,4 and mighty soon the fellows will come back, fl each; with his frog. Then I "Now a basswood leaf," says fj the leader." ' - ; That! harder -some nt" the hunters will be stumped from the start. But the hunt keeps on until at least three have found basswood leaves, and chalked up their scorea. - The contests may on Indefinitely. A wild straw- rry, a thorn from a thorn-apple tree, a. granite .pebble, a lire mos- uito so many "treasures" are available that the game could con tinue for days. And the best fun is when final scores are totaled up. Usually It's close,5 and the scores well scattered, for in this game every ; fellow has a good good chance. . - ; ; - Here's a. good fish contest. Each contestant is given a pin ten feet of fishline and an angleworm. At the .'Go!": signal all race- off, cut : poles, bend the .. pins, attach lines and bait hooks. Then the fim, Isaak Walton back with a fljaa-big or little, provided he's legal size and caught according to regulations wins the race. When two br tfiree of the anglers begin . to get nibbles at, the ' same time, there's a "lot of excitement. . -The Hot Time Race is fine to test skill In woodcraft. A Each'en . try 'gets a quart pail half full of L water,, a hatched and one match. At "Go!" they dash for the woods the trick is "to make a fir with natural material and - get - the water boiling. First boiler wins. jWobody may use oauer or boards. 5 & to erenr chan to know -nro-ner "Ctiader and quick-burning "wood. the best way to lay a fire and to hang the pail, and all those things That one-match restriction is a stiff .one. if you want to, give each contestant two matches and award the winners an -extra point if they bring back one. ; A good. stunt for-a hike- Is the humanmpass'game. That is woodcraft, too particularly if It's a cloudy day, with the sun out of sights The. leader must guide the hikers by a twisting , path, doubling and turning and winding, so that their senses of direction win, be. coiled up a bit. Then, suddenly, he stops and tells .them to cut staffs six feet long and lar mem on ; the ground pointing straight north. Lots ot sings help in this game sun.vwind, slope of .the land, lichen or moss on trees, tips of evergreen ; trees, "and ,eo forth provided you know them! Everybody knows of potato races and sack races and three-legged! races. Here's a new and mighty tunny variant the ;Tin Can Race. Each racer gets two fairly large tin cans, one of which he stands 1 bottom up on the ground at the starting line. Then ; he balances himself on one foot on top of this can. The trick, after the starter! al president of the "service yeter has given the signal is to set the Other can down, step on it with the other foot, and! move the rear can and foot up. ; If a racer touches so much aa the tip of his toe to the ground,! he has ' to go back and commence, over again. It's a good man who doesn't make at least one false starts,. This race has more fun In it than a Harold Lloyd film.: Legs waving and weaving,- tipsy can-walkers, new starts it's screamingly com ical. The secret of it is to go slawly. j " -Sore spot tag Is" good for a sandy beach and bathing suits. It's Just like regular tag, except that the spot- touched j by the tagger becomes, the sore jspot, and the new tagger must'! hold his left hand on the sore spot while try ing to tag somebody else. : It's as ludicrous a "game, as the "tin can race picture - - yourself or some body else, dashing around holding onto a sore spot on the right heel, or between the ;shoulder blades, or on a knee capi No easy job. chasing a flock of fellows free from sore; spots. . : j Kow and then, rainy days come along, and you'll want some games to play under cover.. Try poison Ivy, a new kind of tug-of-war. A sheet of newspaper, spread out flat on the floor of ground in tent or cabin, is the "poison ivyr" Two teams of ' equal j numbers are chosen, and the teams gather . in a circle arbundthe, paper, alter nating membefs-one of one team, then one of the other. Everybody joins hand, the game is to push or pull opponents so that they will touch the paper. Anyone who so much as tips the paper with his toe Is "poisoned" and . must withdraw from the game. It's a real Job, too, toyxy to swing op ponents on eacSi side onto the paper and keep off yourself. The team that first entirely eliminates the other side wins.: One-legged tug-of-war Is a two man competition. Tie a five-foot length of rope to the left ankle of each man, draw a line midway hplweAn them "anrl cfv a "fin!" signal. The contestants must hop on the right Toot,' seeking to pull each other across the line. Forcing Jhe opponent to cross it, or to touch his' left-pot ' or either hand to the ground, ) counts a point; six-foot circle. ' Each of the two contestants balances on his 'right foot, folds, his, arms across his chest and, at the signal, seeks to force the other "rooster" out of the ling or off: his balance. Un folding the arms counts a s loss. The only legal method of attack is bunting with shoulder or chest. Five points wins a match. V W-A DEFENSE WORK IS ASKED Hon". Frank Comerford,1 nation- ans of the United States.- has issueda. call requesting all for mer members of the selective service boards and American Pro tective league, .to get solidly be hind the efforts of the war de partment to. make defense test day the practical success that' is de sired.
