Description
Photograph of two teams playing the fire-house-and-ball game. The photograph shows two teams of students dressed in what appears to be a fisherman-style waterproof coats and hats playing the fire-house-and-ball game. In the middle, at right, a team of five students can be seen trying to move a huge ball with the water coming out of a fire hose they hold in their hands. At left, their rival team is visible holding another hose and trying to move the ball, as well. In the background, a number of parked can be seen. "Used Cars", "Porsche" and "Volkswagen" neon signs are visible behind the cars.
