Adaptation of the familiar “Wolf and Hind.”
The players form in a straight line with their hands around the waist
of the person ahead. At the very end of the line stands the “Newsboy.”
The chaser, called the “Policeman,” faces the leader of the line and
at a given signal tries to catch the Newsboy. The line, however, tries
to keep itself between the Policeman and the Newsboy. The players must
hold on tightly to each other, so as not to break the line, thereby
enabling the Policeman to dart through and get a better chance at
the Newsboy. When that Newsboy is caught he changes places with
the Policeman, who takes the place at the head of the line. The new
Policeman tries to catch the person at the very end of the line, who
has now become the Newsboy.
