* « a iS /r ft mmsssm A TESTY TOPIC Tim and Ru have invented a new game for cold nights called “Winter Crick* on the Hearth." Tool* Required: One Radio. One case of “Cricketers' Compound.” One Warm Fire. Crayfish Supper and any number of congenial companions. Instructions: Divide players into two teams (or schools). One to represent the Aussies and the other to represent the other Gentlemen. The umpire will then tunc in on Radio while both sides indulge in “preliminary canter." As soon as the Test Match is tuned in all players, including umpire, are then entitled to "one pipe opener per person." Should the first over be a maiden, the umpire will shout for all hands. When a two is hit, that entitles the hitting side to one noggin per eleven —not eleven noggins per one. A boundary gets two noggins and a six gets three. A clean bowl means that Heeltaps-Smith has been cheating. Bowled out for a duck entitles all hands to duck out for a bowL Caught out means—Well quart, sir 1 After this you make your own rules —so long as you make mine a TIMARU.
