All through the game the dog,

the fox does Just as players In “follow

the fox jumps up to touch the brnnch

amuse the ring players very much and
which make It hard for the dog. If the
dog does not follow he cannot go on
with his part of the game, but must

the dog captures the fox he becomes
the fox for the new game and the fox
goes into the ring. Then a new dog
Is chosen. When the ring la very
