Two games were played at Meadow
Brook yesterday for the Westbury chal-
lenge cup by teams without handicaps.
On the big field, with Devereux Milburn
as back, Great Neck defeated Coopers-
town, 9l5 goals to Z, after hot contest
that was all square at the end OF the
fourth period while on field No. the
Meadow Brook Hunters defeated the
| Meadow Brook Canaries by 50 goals to
81.
The greater number OF the onlookers on
the club stand or side lines OF the big
field were loyal Long Islanders w r.
Grace. who had stepped down from the
team to give an opportunity to the in
ternational back, and II. p. Whitney were
the leaders in cheering for Great Neck.
But there we're nearly as many stanch
upholders Of the upstate team and the
four Cooperstown Leopards were espe-
cially ready to applaud the good hits OF
their senior team.
Great Neck made a nyaway start, as
Americas team did In the first Of the
cup games. and they led after two periods
by AZ goals 10 ~. In the latter chukker
Rumsey lost a half goal for Cooperstown
by crossing Milburn, and ]. G. Milburn,
1r, who was No . for Great Neck. in
CURED a similar penalty for foul hook.
Cooperstown forced the fighting so Wig
orously in the third and fourth periods
that Great Neck did not gain goal.
Stevenson, Rumsey and Beadleston each
made goal for Cooperstown making the
score a tie at AZ each at half time.
Devereux Miburn was in his best form
during the last period and impregnable
in defending the posts. the backhanded
hits being especially brilliant. II was a
no-goal chukker Cor Cooperstown. Had
den. Webb and Devereux Milburn had
end outs. which bears witness to Coopers-
towns victory in interferences by hustlng
the player on the ball, but none Of the
team could make a winning hit on mis- own
account.
Webb made the last goal for Great
Neck and clinched the victory:
In the other game lie Boutilier, who
was TO have been referee. was impressed
into service at the last -1oment as No.
3 for the Hunters Tilney was a new
man on the Canary team and played
back. Under team handicaps the Cana
ries would have claimed seven goals, but
until the end Of the sixth period they
held the Hunters well, the latter team
then leading by only So to A.
Successive goals by j. S. and II. c.
Phipps, each made by gallop with the
ball i'm thirty seconds. changed the situa-
| ton. and three-ht goal by La Mon
tagne further increased the Hunters lead.
The only change in the eighth period
was safety by the Hunters and goal
for the Canaries, made at nice offside
angle by Morgan.
Morgan. who is a recruit this season TO
polo. had a fall i'm the fourth period.
f.. d. Morgan and Mrs. Morgan had ar
rived just as their son met with his mis-
hap, which was the only part of the met
dent to cause the player any discontinue.
Meadow Brook, represented by j. \.
! Rawlins, J. NJ Waterbury, jr., II. =.
Whitney and Harrison Tweed, won the
final for the Westbury Cup last year.
The team beat Great. Neck-L. Water
bury, w r. Grace. Hamilton Hadden and
J. q. Milburn, jr.-by II to 6aa goals.
