name of rie and gives a de billed description. Jones? says, 
“The great game upon which the Southern Indians stake both 
personal reputation and property was the chungke game.’ For 
further reference to this game, and the tribes by whom it was 
played, I would refer the reader to works by DuPratz,? Bracken- 
ridge? Lewis and Clark,’ Turner Morgan® and Prickett.” I saw 
a game of this sort played by the Coyotéro Apachés, which will 
be described farther on. As far as I am able to learn, it is indulged 
in, to-day, only by this tribe. The Cuchanos (Yumas) played 
a game of this kind until recently; which they called mo-upp, the 
Mexicans termed it redondo Lieut. Whipple? in speaking of the 
Mojaves says, “Some of the young men selected a level spot, 
forty paces in length, for a play ground, and amused themselves 
in their favorite sport with hoop and poles. The hoop is six 
inches in diameter, made of an elastic cord. The poles are 
straight and about fifteen feet in length. Rolling the hoop from 
. one end of the course, two persons chase it half way, and at the 
same instant throw their poles. He who succeeds in piercing the 
hoop wins the game.” 
As far as I was able in ascertaining, this game was not played 
by the Mojaves in the immediate vicinity of Camp Mojave e (ACT) 
in 1871, at which time I had occasion to visit that locality in : 
scientific capacity. 
Since enterprising traders and sctilers have established them- 
selves at or near all the Indian reservations in the country, the 
aborigines have almost entirely discontinued the manufacture of 
implements and weapons of stone, substituting such articles as 
can be purchased to answer the requirements of the game. Thus 
` instead of spending days of patience and labor on a stone ring or 
discoid, one can be constructed of twisted raw-hide or wood "ih a

quired are a pole for each of the players, and a hoop made of a
