tiddle v Oh you'd hook it. You'd have a hole in it, see, hole in the ground; put the puss across here, an' hook it (with) the stick - the stick. The fellows over there they'd try to hit it, see, an' if they can hit it, well you're out. But if they don't hit that stick you're still_, see, you still continues playin' on; you still plays on until _ an' then they'll hit the puss, an' they'll catch it up after they hook it. An' then they'll hit at that, an' then they'll tiddle it - put it down over their hole like that, an' hit the end of the stick an' hit it like that, see. Yes DNE-cit AUG 1973 J.D.A.
