| Data | “Ball-bias” was mentioned in a religious-themed, young adult novel in which a Jewish teenager was a principal character. The pertinent sentence read: “Emilie...anxiously looked in all directions for Edward, whom she at length espied, at a short distance before them, superintending a game of ball-bias.” |

| Block Notes | The novel presents the girl, Rebecca, very positively, suggesting she is the smartest and best looking student in the school. |
