A Potatoe Bag Race at WCUU

Title: A Potatoe Bag Race at WCUU
Identifier: AEJ_81
Description: This photograph shows a "novelty" event at the annual WCUU Sports Day. A competitor wearing a potatoe sack takes the inside lane while two other athletes are far behind. He appears to be holding something that might indicate it is a relay race. Spectators crowd behind a bamboo fence, while judges watch from inside the track.
