UK - London -

Match officials at a Cartier polo tournament in Windsor Great Park, London. As time ticks on during the chukka, a scorer in a long white coat stands watching another as he checks his watch and listens to a transistor radio. We see that one team of the Prince Philip Trophy is Pendell Polo stables from Reading, England who have scored 3 points. Polo - from pulu in Hindi - referring to the wooden ball which was used, was adopted by the sport in its slow spread to the west. The first polo club was established in the town of Silchar in Assam, India, in 1834. It is also called "The Sport of Kings" and is a team sport played on horseback in which the objective is to score goals against an opposing team.
