Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: US Hurricanes Beat Hurlingham at Polo. SHOTLIST: Elevated and ground shots of the play. Commentary The Hurlingham all star polo team, in white helmets, meets the Hurricanes, rated one of America’s best three polo quartets - at Westbury, Long Island. It’s a match in which the great social sport is seen at its best - and there’s nothing to choose between the teams. There’s a goal for Hurlingham, and for seven chuckers the score wavers. With only a few minutes left in the final period the Hurricanes score their last goal, and win by 9 to 8.
