Large number of men playing what appears to be a very free form and rough game with a football. The ball is forced around what appears to be some form of goal, covered with leaves.



A man is wading through a river with the ball. He is being watched from the far bank by a small crowd. He throws the ball and then begins to swim after it. Another man is racing after him in the water. They get the ball to the bank.
