"It'll be the dickens of a job to kick a goal from there with that wind," spoke the Yale captain. "But we'll try it." The whistle ending the game had blown, but time was allowed for a try at kicking the ball over the crossbar. A hush fell over the assemblage while the ball was taken out and the player stretched out to hold it for the kicker.
Above it I have a mirror, but it makes ugly faces at me every time I look into it. Upon the wall near by is a match-holder that you gave me. It is the heads of two fisher-folk. The man has lost his nose, but the old lady still thrusts out her tongue. The material on my screen and "dresser" I bought for curtains, then decided to use some white crossbar I had.
The fellow came down from his perch, and having heard our story, he burst straightway into much foul language, and walking round to the back of his calash, showed us that a slit had been made in the leather wherewith it was fashioned. Through this the thief had thrust his hand and had drawn my wig through the hole, resting the while on the crossbar of the coach.
At the opposite two ends of the tape are two goal posts 14 inches apart with a crossbar. The length of the tapes should be 36 feet when two or four players engage in the game, and may be extended for a greater number. The game is played with balls and hockey sticks. The game is started by placing the ball in the centre of the field. The two captains then face each other and at a signal strike off.
A few miles from Tunbridge Wells is Offham, a little, out-of-the-way village which boasts of a queer mediaeval relic, the only one of the kind remaining in the Kingdom. This is called a quintain post and stands in the center of the village green. It consists of a revolving crossbar on the top of a tall, white post.
Hal Hastings, stripping off his outer clothing, stood forth in his bathing suit. "Into the tube with you, now," whispered Jack. "Crawl well forward right up to the forward end of the tube so. Get hold of the crossbar of the cap. Hold on hard.
"Up you come, Petrie!" he said, and reached down his hand to aid me. I got my foot into the loop of chain, grasped at a projection in the gate-post, and found myself up. "There is a crossbar, on this side to stand on," said Smith. He climbed over and vanished in the darkness.
As he hung there, Masin had held up the handle of a pickaxe as high as he could reach against the smooth wall, as a crossbar on which Malipieri had succeeded in getting a slight foothold, enough for a man who was not heavy and was extraordinarily active. A moment later he had drawn himself up and inward.
It measured two ells and a half from crossbar to point, and so bright was the broad blade that no one could look on it for long, and all down its length ran runes. "A wondrous weapon, truly!" said Asmund. "How read the runes?" "I know not, nor any man they are ancient." "Let me look at them," said Groa, "I am skilled in runes."
Now in building of chaises, I tell you what, There is always SOMEWHERE a weakest spot, In hub, tire, felloe, in spring or thill, In panel, or crossbar, or floor, or sill, In screw, bolt, thoroughbrace, lurking still Find it somewhere you must and will, Above or below, or within or without, And that's the reason, beyond a doubt, A chaise BREASTS DOWN, but doesn't WEAR OUT.
