Description
Photograph of two young Yuma Indian men with implements for the pole and hoop game -- a gambling game of skill. They stand outside on a bare patch of ground holding poles each about 20 feet long. The man on the right holds a small hoop in his right hand. Both men are barefoot. A native wood, mud and thatched dwelling is visible in the background. Some brush grows behind them.
