TEAM DEFEATED
East Chicago Wins Easy
Polo Match by the
Score of 5 to /.
(special to THn TIMEs.l


Indiana Harbor, Ind, Jan. 27-Indi-
ana Harbor, for the third time, suf-
fered defeat at the hands of the East
Chicago roller polo team last night
Five. to l was the resulting score and
the Harbor boys naturally feel some
what dismayed at their being unable
to play a stronger game. Captain
Cooksey, however, was not in the best
of form, while Sternberg, the star cen
ter, played very weak game and was
nowhere near his usual standard.
East Chicago fouled considerably
and as a result lost one goal, other
wise the score would have been 6 to 1.
Meintz played the scoring game for
East Chicago and to his playing three
goals may be attributed. Carroll, at
second rush, made two goals and Mitch
ell one. Bratton made the scoring play
for the Harbor team after a splendid
piece of field team work.
The rushes were all in favor of the
East Chicago team last night. Meintz
covered eight of these, allowing Cook
sey to handle the ball but twice during
the game. Kimble and Lewis both
played star games at goal. The lineup
at last nights game was as follows:
East Chicago. Ind. Harbor.
