When Arthur r. Foote and Malcolm Chace. the
Yale tennis players. made their tour OF Canada
last summer. sweeping everything In the Canadian
tennis world before them. they were frequently
asked why American colleges did not form hockey
or polo clubs. Their answer OF course was that
the game played In American colleges through
out the winter under rules differing only in detalI
from the Canadian but that the Harvard polo ciuD
was probably the only one ever organized when
played teams outside its own college. They were
met by proposition from the Canadian athetes
to form a club. representing no college, or not even
being an all-Amercan college team but pckeo
team Of wel-known athletes. who should make Il
tour OF the principal cities In the Provinces IN the
coming winter and meet the Canadians In a seriea
OF contests They partially assented and after re-
turning to Yale perfected arrangements Tor the
