LOO OUT, AMERICA!
England Already Laying Plans To
Snatch Back Polo Cup.
BY RICHARD DAHLGREN.

London, August 22.-England does not
intend that the international polo cup.
won by the American Meadowbrook team,
recently. remain long In America with
out an effort to recapture 1t. The Earl
Of I,onsdale. the Duke OF Westminster
and the Duke of Roxeburgh held a con-
ference recently and discussed plans for
sending a team to America next season
to retake the cup No defeat in sports
for years has Inundated the English as
has the loss of the polo cup. Lord Ions
dale was formerly a polo enthusiast and
still maintains his interest in the game.
He is enormously wealthy and with his
two associates will, II necessary, finance
the team that goes to America
The Duke OF Westminster has obtained
Spain, who owns the best polo ponies
in Europe, that he will allow the English
team the use of his ponies.
Americans may next year witness the
spectacle of an English polo team coach
ed by wealthy member of the House
of Lords and two dukes, mounted on
Spanish ponies trying to retake the
trophy the Meddowbrooks won so easily
in the recent match.
P. W. Nickalls, a member of the de-
feated British team in a recent inter-
view, said:
1.-THE Americans can hit straighter than
we can. In winter we hunt. They play
tennis and racquet. There is no better
practice for polo driving. If they ever get
a ball within 30 yards Of the goal they
make the goal. They had the best ponies
also, and the lot they used at Hurting
ham was worth at least $4,000. The
Americans are the best sportsmen. I
don't care what the line of sports, for
they practice their games in thorough
manner, while we try to do little of
everything, and as a consequence are
not proficient in anything

10 to g. The following Saturday the
Tigers have Dartmouth as their guests
at Princeton. Last year the Green eleven
defeated Princeton at the Polo grounds
by the score of 10 to s. Then follows the
final game with Yale at New Haven
Thus 1t will be seen that Princeton's
schedule for the final three weeks seems
to be about tough as Yale's.
Harvard opens the season with Bow

the following saturday. Another easy
game, one with Maine, is scheduled for
October 16 but on the sd the Crimson
may have its hands full with Brown
The following Saturday Harvard plays
its only game away from home. going to
West Point. On November the Crimson
will line up against Cornell at Cambridge
This is the first time for years that these
eleVens have met, and the game prom
ises to be one of the most interesting of
the season. A week later is the annual
Dartmouth game, and then comes the
final game with Yale. 1t will be seen that
Harvard, Yale and Princeton have their
hands full during the closing weeks of
the season and their trainers and coaches
face a big problem in keeping their men
in condition. uninjured and up to playing
at top speed.

the games with Michigan and Cornell,
the Red and Blue plays Swarthmore on
October 3, Brown a week later, Penn
/ sylvania State the following week, the
| Carlisle Indians on October 81 and La
fayette November 6.
The Army has only three really hard
games on its schedule those with Har-

as did Lincoln; II Is just that we,
the common people whom he loved so
well, and the posterity he served so
