Black and white photograph of eight boys and young men playing field hockey on a grassy lawn. Three to the right sit in wheelchairs and three stand to the left. One more wheelchair-user is a short distance away to the left, and one lies in the grass.
Extended Description:
Four players are shirtless, and all the players focus at the same spot where the two lines face off. The person lying down is just beyond this. A building clad with siding stretches across most of the picture on the far side of the lawn. It appears to be a single story, and a covered porch is along the right side. At least two people are in a doorway in the shadows there, and a few more young people sit in chairs or wheelchairs in front of the structure. Bushes are planted along the front and trees are to the right.
