Dr. lzikowitz has' obtained this material principally from two peoples, the Lamet and the Akha, which have a rather primitive and poor culture but which are of special interest because they possess certain characteris-ties from pre-Buddhist Chinese culture. For instance, this Swedish explorer was present at a feast of a type which is described in ancient Chinese records but which has long since disappeared from China, and he has taken home a number of triangular balls which according to a special ritual are thrown backwards and forwards at such feasts between young men and women. Dr. Izikowitz also found that these Indo-Chinese play football with high-bouncing balls made of cane, which they kick with their knees, and that they hold drinking competitions with fermented rice between teams of men and women, the latter usually being the victor another day.
