Two men, with hands and knees hobbled with a stick and stout rope, seat themselves inside a circle, and the game is for each one to try to put the other outside the circle.

Neither can use his hands.
[Drawing: _The Cock Fight_] It is like wrestling in a sitting position with both hands tied, the mode of attack being to topple over one's opponent and then bunt him out of the circle.

There is considerable skill in the game and a fearful lot of hard work.

By the time the victor has won, the seat of the trousers of each of the two contending heroes has cleaned the deck until it shines--the deck, not the trousers.
In a similar way the deck is benefited by the "are you there" game.

Two men are blindfolded, armed with long paper clubs, and then lie at full length on the deck, with left hands clasped.
