Our version of what we called wall ball involved a gym wall, a volleyball, and about a dozen guys each going in turn playing essentially a giant version of racquetball. Well racquetball rules anyways, 1 bounce and then you had to hit the ball so it contacted the wall before the ground.

I only remember one of the "rumbles" with St. Beade's ever amounting to anything, and even that was more over something that had happened earlier in a neighbourhood than to do with the schools themselves. It was a one on one fight that was basically a wrestling match with about 100 people watching. Pretty sure one adult came and scared everyone away after a minute or two.

I'm not as old as you! But I do have very fond memories of my Dad taking me to willy's when I was 7 and had just recovered from breaking my femur twice in one summer and spent most of it in the hospital. My dad decided that my leg wasn't strong enough and held me back from my first year of hockey but made it up to me by taking me to willys and then an outdoor rink to play shinny twice a week. The best part was the Willy's he could have easily just taken me to a rink by our house in riverbend but we always went to one off of elbow drive so we could get Willy's

Every community/schools seems to have this game but it has a different name whereever you go.
In Beddington we called it "Bum's up".
My wife's school called it "Booty".

Wall ball was the tame version. Murder ball was the fun version.

The GT Snow Racer was the pinnacle winter toy a kid could have 20 years ago. You were hot #### if you had one.

What about the cool second cousin of murder ball, over the fence? You'd have teams set up on either side of the baseball diamond backstop and they would take turns throwing the ball over. If the players on the other side couldn't catch it, they were out (don't remember how the scoring worked). Every school seemed to have one legendary kid that could throw the ball entirely way too far. For us it was the 6th grader, Skinner. Everybody always wanted Skinner on their team. My buddy Adam had a pretty good arm as well, and he earned the nickname mini-Skinner.

I remember something like that called Jackpot..One person would throw a football in the air and yell out points or 'jackpot' and everyone else would try to catch it...Basically it was full hitting crazyness.
The one toy that eluded me was the powerwheels. Man I wanted one of those things so bad haha.

Loved the GT's. Still have 2 at the parents house. Sometimes we take them on boarding trips and take them down the hill.

Yea! Stupid spoiled rich kids with their powerwheels.
