Although the Bryn Mawr and Coopers-
town teams met on even terms for the
Watch Hill cups yesterday. and the latter
won. at the Point Judith Polo Club tour
nsment, as their hsndicaps balanced at
twenty goals, chief interest centered in
the first appearance of the Army cham

at S32 to AZ goals. giving by handicap,
so that the actual play was = to goals.
There was another one-sided result in
the second game for these trophies, as the
Bryn Mavr second team defeated Camden
by 1lis 10 t. after conceding three goals.
The officers had a splendid system OF
combinat ton play, the result of careful
drilling, and while their ponies were not

popular and pleased every one. good
start is half the race, and everybody Is
hoping that the officers may reach the
