| Description: | Weird sports; contests. London Irish Sports Meeting; during World War l. First a "Centipede Race" --a really weird and wacky event; in which groups of 5 guys run backwards with a pole between their legs; spectators in BG. Shot of a row of guys lying on the ground; with a row of guys standing at their feet. The guys lying down all spring up at once -- or try to; since their lower halves are inside bags. Some of them get right up and start hopping in the sack race; while others can't even seem to stand up. Back view of sack race; one guy wipes out; falls forward with a bounce. More guys jumping and falling. Very silly and funny in a slapstick way. | |
