Charley Horse Polo
Same rules as in Hand Polo except that regular hockeys are used. Shouldering and bucking are not allowed. Shin guards should be worn.
Bar Bell Polo
(W. H. Kinnicutt, Physical Director Cleveland Y. M. C. A.)
This game can be played by any number of players equally divided into two teams or sides. A basket ball is used, and an ordinary bar bell in the hands of each player is the "hockey."

This method of striking is well adapted to the bar bell, and there is little danger of injury to other players or opponents.
The usual rules of polo are modified to meet the conditions of the game.
Pin Hockey
Played with hockey and tennis ball. Each player has two pins to guard. They are set two feet from the wall at either end of the gymnasium, and each pair of pins should be far enough from the next pair to allow the guardsman to move comfortably about them. Players stand in front of their pins, in beginning the game, and the ball is rolled in by the referee, to the centre. It is then anybody's ball. The walls should be as smooth as possible as the carroming against them, thus knocking down pins, is an important feature of the game. A board at either end of the gymnasium, behind the pins, may be used if the wall is not smooth.
While these games are of the fastest and most fascinating nature, it is questionable about the use of them in fine gymnasiums. The hockey do dent the floor somewhat, pins are sometimes split, windows not properly barred are broken, and unless
