Description:Excerpt from The Tower Light, Vol. 11: October, 1937 In modern times the game of jousting has been modified still further. Today's conception of the game is based on the same principles as those of yesteryear. However, our method of determining the winner is entirely free of any possibility of fatal injury. I shall try to explain our conception of the game but only actual observation will show you the skill, training and sportsmanship that is required of all who participate. First, three arches are erected in a straight line, twenty-five yards apart. These arches consist of two uprights with a cross piece at the top. Hanging downward from the center of the cross piece is an iron rod with a clamp in the end of it. A ring, ranging in size from one inch to three eighths of an inch, is inserted in that clamp. First, the one inch rings are hung in each of the three arches. Each rider, mounted on a horse that has been especially trained for this work, gallops through the three arches. His object is to secure all the rings on a lance which he carries under his arm. He is given only a limited time to get through the arches, usually about eight seconds to cover seventy yards. The riders who are skillful enough to get all of their one inch rings are then forced to ride at smaller rings. Those who miss are eliminated. The rings are diminished in size until all but one has missed. That man is adjudged win ner because he has taken more consecutive rings than any other knight. The riding is only a part of the game. The best part is yet to come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
