Description
Professional pool players Luther Lassiter and Steve Mizerak play a game of pocket billiards against each other. Afterwards a reporter asks Steve about how they prepare for a billiards tournament, to which Steve answers "Practice, keep happy, and keep your pockets full of money."
In the background there is a banner for "Viking Cue MFG. Inc." and a sign for "The National Billiards News"
The tournament they are being asked about might be the U.S. Open Straight Pool Championship. In 1973 Steve Mizerak was the winner and Luther Lassiter was the runner up.
