LoCKETT CAUSES DISCUSSION.
why Chosen SO Late s--British Polo
Chances Much Improved.

The announcement by cable that Capt.
vivian Lockett had Joined the team OF
British polo players that will come out
in search of the international cup caused
discussion yesterday among
the men identified with the sport The
general idea was that the inclusion or
I,ockett In the lineup would be OF con-
siderable advantage TO the challengers
and would increase their chances OF sue
cess.
II has been matter OF mystery why
I,ockett was NOT included among the men
who we're selected at frat to represent
Great Britain. especially as he was one
of the men who wont to Madrid TO prac-
tice for the international matches. Capt.
Iockett WAS one of the team which came
here last year and played such good
game In his position that Lord Wode-
house, who came as substitute back,
WAS discarded for the big matches,
Additional Importance IL attached TO
the selection of Capt Lookett because II
will admit OF an ideal lineup for the chal-
lengers. Capt. Cheape was slated to play
back In the place OF Major Hunter, but
II is admitted on all sides that his chief
quality AZ advancing the ball would be
wasted In that position. With capable
back like Lockett on the team the Eng
lishmen will be able TO rearrange their
lineup In such "A way that II will present
a dangerous combination for America "a
confront. The general idea gained from
the latest recruits admission TO the ranks
be made up ms follows No. /, Capt
Cheape; No. 2. Capt bingham; No g.
Major Barrett. and back. Capt Lockett
This will make "a strong team and one
