PICKING UP, TIPPING, FRISKING, ETC.
cramped swimmer, is giving its last kick. Sometimes you may make something of these balls by hitting them on the bounce to make them bounce higher, which may secure you a catch in a position, when a forward pick-up would bring your crosse into the neighborhood of checking.
We might as well advise you here, as elsewhere, to drop your crosse, when it is trodden upon, rather than run the probable alternative of a fracture. If you feel you are going to tread on a crosse, leap up and over it.
