If one of the two preceding games was not being played, then it was "Smear the Queer" that they were joyfully (and bloodily) playing in the mud. This game involved either a football or rugby ball and the object of the game was to run with the ball in any direction without getting demolished by the other participants. Once the ball carrier did get tackled, he'd throw the ball in the air to the next "Queer" and the game would continue. As it is rather obvious, only the toughest young men participated in this incredible sport.
