A team consists of five members;

The players line up in one rank on a
mark fifty feet from the goal, with the
five members of each team side by side.
The three centre members of each
team stretch out *both arms as far as
possible, keeping them parallel with
the ground, and the members of the
team who are on the ends extend the
arm that is nearer their team mates.
The members hold the cardboard
squares between them, with the tip of.

against the centre of one side of the
square- and the tip' of the forefinger
of the adjacent player pressing
