Gadsden's Crusaders (Reel 135, Circa 1930s) contains footage of a sports or games day involving a large group of young people. The footage shows a large group of people playing various games in a large garden. Some are playing golf, others are playing 'tenniquoits' (also known as 'tennikoit') where a rubber ring is thrown over a tennis-like net that separates the players. Some of the participants wear striped blazers, others wear blazers that bear a badge or crest - these may be a form of uniform or 'club colours' that distinguish two teams.
