Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Britain v USA Polo. SHOTLIST: Various shots of the play. "The British polo team touring in the States meet America’s crack four in California in the first of a two-game international series. The British players are wearing dark jerseys. In a fast hard game the home team defeat the visitors by eleven goals to eight. The United States team will be over here this year to compete for the Westchester Cup at Hurlingham, when, it is hoped, Britain (playing on their own ground) will be able to claim victory."
