ing polo in Maui and should be in fair
ly fit condition to play Immediately on
his arrival. With the few games that
had in the North during January, l
figured il would make us fit for the
Sunday match. Great interest was

to one.
"The game started off in quite a
brisk fashion, but at the end of the
second period, Frank and / agreed that
, if we could find out where our forwards
were, so as to be able to pass the bali
to them, we would be able to put the
match over. The turn came in the

score, beating the Coronados L. to 4.
Small silver champagne goblets were
presented to each of the four on the
winning team and the price of Ha-
waiian stock went up a few points.

Considerable pressure was brought
to bear by Pasadena to get us to come
up there for a tournament commencing
February Is. We were particularly
anxious not to play Canada before the

more out of our style of play than we

Y polo here, arranged with Malcolm Stew
enson and Perry Beadleston to come tC

: Walter Dupee has a string of forty
e polo ponies here at Coronado, which hi
has been collecting over period Of
years and which are good and speedy
would show well with any ponies il

these two Fasteners, who, together
with Ross and himself, would make tn,

"'Our ponies were sent to Pasadeni
by express in very comfortable stand

hap. The first match at Pasadena was
u between Santa Barbara and Pasadent
