the top with a horizontal bar. About the goal is a nearly semicircular area 



formed by two quarter circles and a common tangent 12 feet long. The 



quarter circles are drawn with a 1 5-yard radius, the base of each goal upright 



being used as a center, and started at the boundary line, and described in 



front of the goal line. The two quarter circles are then connected by a line 



12 feet long, which is tangent to both arcs. If the field is reduced in size, 



the reduction should be 



made in the middle area. 



The 25-yard lines should 



still be 25 yards from the 



goal lines; the five-yard 



lines five yards from the 



side lines, and the circles 



regulation size. The ball 



used in field hockey 



should be a leather cricket 



ball painted white or 



made of white leather. 



Archery. Targets are 

 set up in pairs facing each 

 other at distances vary- 

 ing according to the kind 

 of shooting or rounds that 

 are being shot. For con- 

 venience the targets are 

 set up five yards farther 

 apart than the distance 

 that particular round calls 

 for. This permits the con- 

 testants when shooting to 

 stand five yards in front 

 of one target while shoot- 

 ing at the other. 



The targets are four PLATE No I20 



feet in diameter, and three 



to four inches thick, made of straw and covered with rough cloth on which 

 concentric circles are painted, each four and four-fifths inches in width. The 

 outer ring is white and counts one point when hit; the next ring is black and 

 counts three points; the next is blue and counts five points; the next, red, 

 counts seven points; the last, inner circle, nine and three-fifths inches in diam- 

 eter, is gold and counts nine points. The target is supported on an iron stand
