Title reads: “Rome“. Italy. Men’s netball match between team from Italian Universities and team from France. Various shots of team, Italians wear black track suits and do fascist salute. Various shots of match - looks more like basketball than netball. Crowd watches game from terraces around the court - lots of moody looking young men in fedoras. In the end Italy wins by 44 points to 35. Note: may have once been part of LNER issue. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
