If this surmise is correct, the person guessing puts a counter in his hair and all bundles are again thrown on the mat.
In this way the game proceeds until some player has won the requisite number of counters and has them all standing in his hair.

Throughout the game the singing must be kept up, accompanied by rhythmic movements of the feet and the body, the players acting as though searching among the tall grass for a desired clump.

When a point is won, the Leader should shout out the counter won, without interrupting the song or the play.

Among the Indians the game, once started, is kept going without halt or break in the song or the movements.

The calling out of the winnings in no way disturbs the singing or the playing.
The victor should wear his successful counters in his hair the rest of the day, if possible.
II Ata-a-kut Introductory Note .-- This game is played among one of the basket making tribes of California.
