Capt. Vivian Lockett. the back Of
the English four. said after the game
yesterday:
81 am surprised Mt the completeness
Of the American victory. We were led
to believe that our ponies were much
faster than those ut the command OF tho
defenders. but. speaking for myself, I
found Il very difficult to keep pace with
the splendidly conditioned animals on
which the American forwards were
mounted. My pony was extended to its
limit and this made It particularly diffi-
cult to back the well directed shots Of
the Waterbury brothers.
The dazzling swiftness Of the Ameri-
cans at the opening Of the game took
us off our guard and proved that the
American team IL still entitled to the
designation of Big Four There is
hope. owing to the closeness Of the
play in the final half, that the next
game may turn In our favor. We en-
tremely regret the accident TO Mot to
Waterbury. who was playing brilliantly
at the time. and hope that II will not
have a serious effect on our opponents.
