- (continued from previous page)ends of it are pointed. This is called the cat. A ring is made and a person stands inside it with a stick. A few more people stand at another ring outside the inner one. One person throws in the cat. The person inside must try to hit the cat and not let it fall into the ring. If the cat fell into the ring the person would be out. If the person hit the cat when it was thrown an ace could be made by running such a distance and back again before the cat is caught. This is repeated and whoever gets the most aces wins the game.
