Jokkmokk [2], 21/07/1732, ¶797:

“Spetto” is a game played among the Lapps by both men and women. They take 30 or 50 or 60 sticks, each about a hand’s breadth long, and spread them on a reindeer hide. Then one person takes a stone or marble ball the size of a jewstone and throws it 2 feet or so into the air. While it is in the air he picks up a stick from the hide, but he must catch the ball as it falls in the same hand that is holding the stick. In his other hand he now collects 8 more sticks as his winnings. When he misses, the other person takes the ball and throws it in the same way and his opponent has to hand over sticks until he has none left. The winner is the one who gets all the sticks.
