arrow on the ground; if he fails, the arrows remain in place and another player 
throws; and so on, each man taking the arrows which are touched by his own. 
Sometimes considerable dispute arises as to whether the feathers are really in 
contact, the men stooping and examining the arrows with the closest scrutiny. 
If the arrows fall apart, each player takes his own from the ground, and a 
new game is begun. The taker of the full number of arrows wins the game. 
Lapochiwe.—Implements [figure 509], three pencil-like sticks; three reeds 
the length of the sticks, one of them with a sharpened stick projecting, and one 
longer reed (designated the chief) having a pointed stick attached to the end. 
Two fluffy feathers are attached to each reed and stick. 
Three sometimes play with the number of reeds and sticks mentioned, but 
when more than two play it is usual to increase the number of sticks, although 
in the genuine game of the Gods of War the number can not exceed seven. 
The one proposing the game divides the six smaller reeds and sticks between 
his opponent and himself, and throws “the chief.” The game is played like 
showiiiltowe, except that the players are seated and throw 
a comparatively short distance. Lapochiwe is one of the 
favorite indoor games.

New Mexico; cat. The name of the game was given as hapoanpiskwaiwe, 
no. 3093, Brooklyn from ha-po-an, bunch of grass, and pis-kwai-we, shooting. 
Institute Museum. wo men or two boys play it in summer in the cornfields. 
The target is covered with sand, which is smoothed over so that the ha-po-an 
does not show. They shoot in turn, leaving the arrows in the ground. Then 
they pull out the arrows together, and if neither has pierced the target, it is 
bad luck; but if one has hit the target and lifts it out on his arrow, he is sure 
to kill deer. The arrows are old style, not feathered and made of cane with 
hard-wood foreshafts.

Implements.—Bow and arrows; an oval roll of green cornhusks. 
Any number may play this game. <A hii’poiinné (roll of husks) is placed upon 
the ground and arrows are shot at it from a distance of 40 or 50 feet. The first 
player to strike the roll covers it with a mound of earth, very much larger than 
the roll itself, while the others turn their backs. The one who places the 
hi’poiinné is almost sure to mark the exact location of it, hence he resorts to 
various devices to mislead the players. A favorite deception is to leave the
