Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ...for the older boys 1" round or the size shown in Fig. 3. The pucks can be made any shape or of any material that will roll well. Many prefer the round shape because it rolls. Shin guards are a necessity. The guards should be made to fit the person intending to wear them. They must be made short enough so as not to interfere with the free movement of the ankle and the knee. The width over all should taper so as to fit the leg.

Four short nails or tacks about f" long should be used to fasten the strap on each strip of wood. After all the nails are hammered down tight, turn the shin guard over, and bend the points of the nails over, hammering them down firmly into the strips. Fasten a buckle to one end of the straps, and punch small holes in the other end. BOW GUN. A straight grained hard wood such as white ash should be used for the bow. A barrel hoop can be used. Cut the strip to the desired width and thickness, and then taper it toward the ends, keeping the bottom edge straight. Just how much to taper it, will depend on the wood used. Test it while working it down. When bent, the bow should make a strong curve with the ends curved more than at the middle. When the cord is attached and pulled back hard, the distance between the middle of the cord and the middle of the bow should be the same as the distance between the trigger and the hole in the barrel in which the bow is held.
