- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Eton Wall Game. DESCRIPTION: Old traditions die hard, and there’s apparently no truth in the rumour that Eton’s famous Wall Game is to be abolished.

SV pan opponents approach across field. SV pan boy with ball. LV first team jump from wall and take up bully position. SV pan team in position. CU ball pan to boy dons scrum cap. SV spectators. SV ball is put into bully SCU (2 shots) game in progress. SCU TV fight nearly breaks out. LV & GV (5 shots) game in progress. GV referee watch. SCU/TV scrum breaks up at end of game. TV players walk away plastered in mud. GV (2 shots) ditto.
