A Man Sporting a Beaver Beard Walking Along a Street, 1922. The game of 'Beaver!' was played by two people each attempting to be the first, upon sighting a bearded man (or woman - the elusive Queen Beaver), to call out 'Beaver!' The scoring system was based on that used in tennis. Mis-beavers - calling out 'Beaver!' only to discover that the poor beavered quarry was beardless - incurred a double-fault. From "Time To Remember - Sitting Still And Going Slowly", 1922 (Reel 1); review of events in 1922 including Irish Troubles, war between Greece and Turkey and developments in aviation and radio.
