Résumé Kav-Kas, an old Cossack game resembling basketball but played on horse-back, is being revived by mounted units of the Army Reserve and promises to be the outstanding thrill in riding circles during the coming winter. It is considered the roughest of all pastimes, so dangerous in fact, that married men usually are barred. In a whirlwind demonstration tilt, the Yellow Jackets (officers) of the 107th Cavalry Regiment, take the Blue Jackets (enlisted men) into camp by a score of 67-5, and with almost as many casualties as scores. The principal rules of the contest are “ride-hold-pass-and don’t get your neck broken.”
