In the international polo practice
yesterday at Meadow Brook the second
team, playing as the Reds. beat the first
team in a full eight-period match by sA
goals TO S. II was fast game over
turf just right for galloping and the
play abounded in good pieces Of polo.
II was really double barrelled game,
the Reds leading by 81 to at the end
OF the sixth period. There was a shift
ing of men them. with the two next
periods resulting in a tie at all.
At the start the Reds were F. 5. Won
Stade. r. La Montague. Foxhall Keene
and Malcolm Stevenson, filling the posi-
tons as named. with the Whites
throughout In the accustomed formation
of II. C. Phipps. J. NJ. Waterbury, jr..
D. Milburn and l.. Waterbury.
After the second period c. C. Rumsey
replaced Won Stade on the Reds. but
at the beginning OF the seventh Keens
dropped out and Won Stade returned as No.
/. while Rumsey and La Montague each
went place further back In the line.
The only moment Of worry to the on
lockers was for an instant in the seventh
period. when Milburn, in overreachins
on Tenby. took header from the pony.
but he was in the saddle in thrice.
II was La Montagne's day for the super
brilliant plays. well backed up by the
other Reds He made four goals as No.
2 and single as No. 3. besides nearly
scoring on two other plays. Won Stade
made two goals as No. | In the first two
periods and another after his reappear-
ance. Rumsey made his counts while
serving as forward.
Stevenson was a capable back. but did
not get chance to score. For the
Whites. Phipps and AIilburn each had
three goals, but the former missed several
good opportunities In the first half TO
swell the score.
Milburn was unable to get the ball
right at times in the opening two periods,
but he made amends later by several
strokes in his best form. l.. Waterbury
was rather above his recent games in
efficiency. but j. NJ. Waterbury. ir., found
himself more than once bottled up by the
dash OF Won Stade in taking the play-ups
OF La Montague. keene and Stevenson in
the two first chukkers that virtually set
tied the game.
The Reds jumped into their collars at
once. suggesting the Cooperstown way OF
beginning. and caught the Whites nap
ping by their quick work.
Once awake. the Whites made a nip
and tuck race OF il and finished one goal
TO the good in the remaining six periods.
