at the same time slightly turning the crosse inwards at the completion of the throw. A strong, steady arm and wrist can have great effect with this throw by altering the deflection and twistings of the crosse, from the beginning to the end of the shot. The ball should be on the lower angle, and run down during the throw. The shot may be either a straight or a grounder, and is generally a twisted ball. An excellent, and undeveloped throw into goal, is made by bringing the crosse quickly around to the rear, and throwing either close past the left leg, or between the legs. It is more puzzling to a goal-keeper, if done smartly, than you would at first suppose, as the ball is hardly seen until it has left the crosse, and the goal-keeper cannot tell whether it will be thrown from the left side, or from between the thrower's legs. It must be done quickly.
Another effective shot—much used by the St. Regis Indians—to goal, may be done by reversing the crosse, turning the side you use, with the ball on it, upside down, by a twist of the wrist, and throwing in and downwards.
We have seen balls put into goal by bringing the crosse around to the rear, and twisting it so as to
