evi] BALL RACE: MARICOPA 681 
Dr J. Walter Fewkes,* in his account of the Hopi Powamu, de- 
scribes a curious game of ball called sunwuwinpa played by the 
kiva chief and the Hehea katcinas. The ball is attached to a looped 
string. The player lies on his back and, passing the loop over the 
great toe, projects the ball back over his head. The slinging-ball 
game would appear to be the clown’s travesty of the kicked-stick race. 
Tewa. Santa Clara, New Mexico. 
Mr T. S. Dozier writes: ” 
The game of the kicked stick, still played at Zuni, has been discontinued at 
the Tewa pueblos for some years. This is a game of sacrifice as well as of 
wager, and would have to be performed at the latter pueblos with too much 
publicity, owing to the encroachment of the settlers on all sides; the course of 
the race, taking Santa Clara for an example, could be preserved on the lands of 
the pueblo, but to the north, in accordance with the old bounds, would have to 
pass through or beyond thickly settled villages to the north of Espanola, then it 
would cross the tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, and there would 
be one continuous obstruction of houses and fenced fields on the homestretch 
toward the south.
