This game was actually a balancing act. It was usually played by the older boys and the men.  2 people sat at either end of a large log that was mounted at a certain height form the ground. Armed with heavy sacks, the men would hit each other at try to dislodge the other from the log. The first one to lose his balance and fall lost the game.

Needless to say, the game resulted in some painful bruising. So, us youngsters were generally kept away from it. But we did enjoy being spectators and would enthusiastically cheer on fathers, uncles, older brothers and friends as they fought for supremacy on the log!
