358 GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS  [eru. ann. 24 
Collected by Mr Thomas V. Keam, of Keams canyon, Arizona, 
who furnished the following account: 
Name of tubes, sho-se-vah; name of game, sho-sho-tukia. The game consists 
of 10 points. It is played during the winter month of January in the kivas 
(estufas) by two or more individuals. When the tubes are being placed over 
the object they are hidden from the view of the contesting party by a blanket. 
A small round sandstone pebble is the object used. It is placed under one of 
the tubes, and the contesting side calls out the figure marked on the tube under 
which the pebble is supposed to be, and at the same time lifts the tube. If it 
exposes the pebble and is done with the right hand, it counts 2 points; if done 
with the left, it counts 1. Should he turn three and not find the pebble, it 
counts 1 against him. When the 10 points are won by the outs, they take the 
stake and assume control of the game, which is sometimes prolonged during 
the night.
