Dundee Police Sports
Year: 1921
The women's football team are bickering before the camera, giving each other digs with the elbows before the amused eye of their team leader. Further away, strapping men are rolling out the machines, while the referees are officiating in three piece suits. The classic sporting events (high jump, wrestling, sack race) rub shoulders with an unlikely form of boxing: two men confront one another sitting astride a beam. The last one to fall wins.
