Knight of the Cracker

The ladies are lined up on one side of the room.  Each is provided with a cracker.  The men are lined up on the opposite side.  At the signal to go the men rush forward and try to secure a cracker from one of the ladies.  They then return to their original line and devour the cracker.  Having succeeded in doing this, they return and whistle a tune which must be recognized by the lady.

Match Boxing

Competitors are divided into equal teams and the teams are arranged in parallel lines.  The outside cover of a small safety match box is given to the first man on each team.  He slips this over the end of his nose and holds his hands behind his back with the box on his nose.  All other players must hold their hands behind their backs.

At the signal to start the players having the box on the end of the nose transfer the same to the nose of their neighbor without the use of their hands.  The box is passed in this way to the far end of the lines and back.  Should it fall upon the floor it is picked up by the one from whose nose it fell, placed on his own nose again, and the game continues as before.
