From a wave: Ends do a "Lines Divide" while the centers Hing and step forward to stand to right of end dancer (if from a right hand wave) or to left of end dancer (if from a left hand wave). Finishes with couples back to back. (Gordie Loomer 1968)

From facing pairs: Couples do a Crosstrail Thru and without stopping do a Quarter In and Pass Thru. Finishes with couples back to back. (Bill Harrison 1974)
