Battledore and Shuttlecock -Onumla game

Battledore and Shuttlecock -Onumla game 

Game Of Native American Indians

The battledore is a thin circular board, nine inches in diameter, with a wooden handle. The shuttlecock is a stout twig, with three feathers, tied securely to it. If there are several players, they stand in a ring, and bat the

shuttlecock to the next player to the right. 

Should the one batting send the shuttlecock behind his neighbor, he must drop out of the circle.

Should the one, to whom the shuttlecock is batted, fail to hit it with his battledore and send it on properly to his neighbor, he must drop out of the circle. Thus the circle contracts until two. and finally only one is left.The last one is pronounced the winner.
