Sports Meet For Irish Guards (1918)

Sports meet for Irish Guards. Sports meet; Irish Guards. Opens with a tug of war in progress; shot of one team struggling. Then a weird game in which men ride on each other’s shoulders in teams; jousting with other pairs; the guys on top hitting each other with dust mops — one guy is getting the best of another. Next; guys straddling log over a ditch filled with water; they try to knock each other off into the water--shots of 2 different pairs. The first has one guy hanging under pole by arms and legs while the other pummels him with a sack of something. The second; a guy falls into the puddle. Then at a race for women in uniform — shot from the finish line of the women racing toward it. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
