P 4 ag, The real national sport of., Switzerâ€" land is, however, wrestling, and comâ€" _bats between "gymnasts," trained wrestlers belonging to the towns, and the young shepherds and sowmen .of the mcuntains, are always a much apâ€" preciated {feature of the Federal Gamss, held every four years. What the shepâ€" Perd lacks in wrestling science they usually make up in strength, for not only do they lead an extraordinarily active life but they enjoy wrestling so much that, often when two happen to meet in some lonely mountain pass they will contend, just for the sheer exhilaration and pleasure of the fray. The ‘birthplace of this remarkable game is the Emmenthal, in the Canton of Berne, a fertile valley with large fields particularly suitable for such a sport. When it was first played is not knrown, but there were complaints early in the eighteenth century of the unâ€" toward incidents provoked by the game. There are now more than 300 clubs of "Hornusseurs," with a total membership of 8,000. "Hornuss is played by young and old alike, and the villages chalâ€" lenge each other whenever there is an cpportunity, the busy season being, of course, when the hay has been gathered and the fields are clear. Many.famâ€" ilies have played the game.for,. generaâ€" tions, and are renowned for.their skill If the "hornuss" falls into the camp without bsing touched by a shield the attackers score a point. Wher the atâ€" tackers have made a icertain number of shots they change places with the defsnders. ‘"Daâ€"Daâ€"D2" Cried With Gusto The game is a pleasantly noisly one, for the excitement becomes intense and the defenders utter their peculilar cry of "daâ€"daâ€"da" with great gusto each time the "hornuss‘"‘ comes towards them. The game begins with the atâ€" tackers asking, in the Bernese dialect: "Weit dr ne?", which may be roughly translated as "Can you take it?" "Gat ume!"â€""Just give it to us!"â€"roar the defenders defiantly. 1 The defenders‘ camp is in the form of a V, the point facing the attackers ard its dimensions depending on the size of the field. Each defender is armed with a wooden shield, like a square tennis racket but considerably larger. The object of the defenders is to hit the "hornuss" with their shields before it falls into their camp, and in order to do this they are allowed to throw their shields at it as it flies thrcugh the air, as well as to try and hit it as if they were playing tennis. A good drive sends the "hornuss‘" to a height of 100 feet cr more, and a distance of 600 yards. The.attackers (the number of players is a »matter of choice)â€" drive one after the other, usâ€" ing alternate sides of the frame; that is to say, one player makes a rightâ€" handed drive, and the next a leftâ€"handâ€" ed cne, and so on. Drive Similar to Golf The club used is a fiexible shaft of ash about eight feet long, erdinzg in a solid piece of hard wood some eight inches long and an inch in diameter. The striker stands level with the head of the frame, at suth a distance that the head of his club will travel along the rail, which is greased. to meet the "hornuss." His object is to drive the disk as hard as he can toward the deâ€" fenders‘ camp, and it is in this action that the game may be compared with golf, for the method of driving ‘L'l essentially similar. _ The "hornuss" is fixed (or, one might say, teedâ€"up) with cutty, so that it reâ€" mains vertical, to th> head of a heavy iron frame consisting of two round rails six feet long and curving cutâ€" ward from the head, the ends being four feet apart and resting on the ground. The head is raised about eight inches from the ground and is fixed into the cearth by means of a spike. Fundamentally the game is simply a siege, the players being equally divided into "attazkers" and "deferders", the object of the former being to project the "hornuss" into the defenders‘ terriâ€" tory. The game is playsd in a field which, for the sake of safely as well as of convenience, must be at least 300 yards long and 50 yards wide. The game involves the striking of a missle, a hard wood disk about four inches in diameter. This is the actual ‘""hornuss," and it is from the buzzing sound that it makes as it flies through the air that the game takes its name, for the Bernese dialect "hornuss" means. ‘"wasp." _ been played in Frenchâ€"Switzerland. and for some time the people of Lauzâ€" anne were completely mystified by the antics of their German-quakmg comâ€" patriots. â€" Those who sought to describe the game to the uninitiated, ; compared its variously with cricket, tennis golf and even "longâ€"distance pingâ€"pong." But it is only to golf that it bears any real resemblance.
