FLYING POLO.
An Indoor Sport Invented by One of
the Light Infantry Corps.
With the increased interest taken in
military matters generally by the MEM
bers of the Washington Light Infantry
Corps a healthy revival of athletics Is
confidently anticipated the coming winter.
At recent meeting of the committee on
athletics Capt. Alison Nailor was elected
president and Sergt. John A. Heyd1er Sec
retary-treasurer. Corp. Thos. w. Williams
of company A, Private McCabe of company
b and Corp p. j. Haltigan Of company Z
complete the committee.
Plans were formulated to advance the
cause of athletics in the organization and
to interest the members in the work and
to point out benefits to be derived from
systematic exercise.
In point of excellence, the big gymnasium
in the 18th street armory is second only to
that of the Columbia Athletic Club, hut
heretofore members have been greatly
handicapped by lack Of proper heating
facilities and necessary baths. These de-
fects, however, are now remedied. Shower
baths have been introduced near the lock-
er room, and the drill hall is to be comfort
ably warm on class nights-every Wednes-
day and Saturday
Basket ball will again be taken up, and
new game, Flying polo,' invented by
member of the corps, will occupy the at
tention of the base ball players during the
indoor season. The south half of the
armory will be devoted TO these games
chandeliers and other instructions have
been removed, making what is probably the
finest playing floor in the city.
Mr.. Harry Lee has been appointed in
structor, and Mr.. w. II. Barghausen assist
ant instructor. Both are young gentlemen
n N Tapa ia
member of company d, an all-round ath-
lete, and has the advantage of years of
experience under Profs. Crossley and Joyce.
Mr.. Barghausen is clever performer on
the bars.
Glasses will be formed during the coming
week, and, IL the armory Is not rented tor
a great length of time during the winter
athletics will not be far behind the present
revival in military interest. Altogether,
the prospects for lively indoor season Of
athletics at the Infantry's armory are very
bright.

students We're cheered ON by their friends
and supporters. VINO were out in force.
The ColumbiaS had the heavier eleven
and eXcelled also In team Work. W henever
they had the ball they worked with an en-
ergy and vim which was too much for the
High School boys, and gains were made
with q regularity that made the rooters
chilly.
However, the school boys stubbornly con-
tested every inch of territory and several
times forced the ball dangerously near Co
lumbias goal Wilson of the High School
team made some good runs around the end
and Shuster and Exley each made gains.
