They're playing on dirt. Asphalt existed then but wasn't used for creating basketball courts until much later. Dribbling on a dirt court is asking for bad bounces and turnovers.
Note that they're playing the old half court game, several of the players never cross mid-court.

yes, i got that pilight - it was a joke. actually, i think they're playing on grass, or what was. pretty intense defense by the team closest to the camera! i'm sure some where positively aghast at their behavior.

I was about to say that it might be grass. It's hard to tell from the video. Either way you don't want to dribble on it.

Plexiglass backboards are a hundred years old?

If you really care, plexiglass was invented in 1930 in Canada by a chemist named William Chalmers.

i don't think they had any backboard action in that video. the frame looked like just a guide - nothing but net.

Ahhh! didn't even think of that! saw the frame and through to the background and figured it was a glass backboard.

LOL!
It seemed like it was just a frame. I knew plexiglass wasn't around yet but I was thinking it was invented even later that the thirties (thanks pilight!)

It wasn't widely used until after WWII.

I was thinking late forties. I guessed about right.
Dang, pilight, how do you keep track of all this stuff?

That's a terrific find.
Those must be glass backboards, not just frames. The made shot at the far basket was clearly a bank shot. The ball is then brought back for a center jump after the made shot. There is also an earlier missed shot at the far basket that looks like it caroms off the glass.
