A backglass with a wide red border framing a cream-and-buff desert scene. Across the very top runs a swag of mint-green and white triangular bunting. At upper left a small brown pony rears beside white script reading BALL IN PLAY. Two white rectangular score windows sit top centre, each divided into two panes showing 1, with a black rayed medallion holding a white 4 between them and another black rayed medallion with a white 2 at upper right. Below, black block capitals read A GAME OF SKILL on the left and IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPETE on the right, with a second pair of split 1/1 windows beneath. The centre-left shows a Native American chief in a full white-and-brown feathered war bonnet, bare chest and orange-red shirt, leaning forward on a galloping white horse and gripping a bright scarlet saddle blanket. Below him three dark blue-black buffalo gallop to the right. On the right a shirtless man with a headband and a blonde woman in a red polka-dot dress stand beside a dark brown carved post, both smiling. The bottom is dominated by huge slanted red italic letters with black and white outlines, and heavy glare washes out the middle.
