As many rackets as there are players.

Red and yellow head-bands equally divided as to number and enough for all the players.
_Directions_ .-- The field should be as large as the camp ground will permit.
At the extreme East of the field a tall pole should be set as a goal and a like pole at the West for the other goal.

To the pole at the East a red streamer should be tied and a yellow streamer to the pole at the West.
These poles should be practically in line and as distant from each other as it is conveniently possible to set them.

The rackets should be made in camp.

A racket can be made from a sapling cut at such length that when the racket is completed it will be 26 inches long.
