BUCK-BUCK

TWO TEAMS, CONSISTING OF FOUR OR MORE PERSONS FOR
EACH, ARE NEEDED. ONE TEAM WILL FORM A LINE BY BENDING
OVER AND HOLDING ON TO EACH OTHERS' LEGS. THE OTHER
TEAM WILL SEND ITS MEMBERS, ONE BY ONE, TO JUMP ON
THE BACKS OF THE OPPOSING TEAM, IN HOPE OF
COLLAPSING THE LINE. THE SECOND TEAM KEEPS SENDING
MEN UNTIL THE FIRST TEAM COLLAPSES. IF THE BOTTOM
TEAM DOES NOT FALTER, THEN THE TEAMS REVERSE POSITIONS
FOR THE NEXT GAME. IF THE BOTTOM TEAM DOES FALL,
THEN IT MUST REMAIN ON THE BOTTOM UNTIL IT IS ABLE,
DURING A SEQUENCE OF JUMPS, TO WITHSTAND THE JUMPING
TEAM.
