In the summer of 1905 the writer obtained a single kicking stick

for the stick as ko-ho-koing-i.

approximating closely to serpentine, 2 inches in diameter.

with a piece of an old stocking, blackened, and having a braided 
wool cord, 10 inches in length, with a knot at the end, attached. 
This was collected by the writer in 1901, to whom it was described 
as used in a game in which the contestants lie on their backs and sling 
the ball backward overhead. In A. M. Stephen’s unpublished manu- 
script, he refers to a game with “a small nodule in a sling fastened to 
the great toe; player lies on back and kicks or slings it backward 
overhead ;” Hopi, siinti winpa; Tewa, konlo kwebe.
