Army Players Show Better
Combination and Hit Bet
ter individually

Playing better team work and hit
ting better as individuals, the Mount
ed Service polo team won from the
Oahu players by a score of l.2 to D
at Schofield Barracks last Saturday
afternoon. 1t was the first time since
1911 that an army team has been able
to lower the Oahu colors, not counting
a second team series last year won by
the 4th Cavalry, and service poio en-
thusiasts were well pleased with the
result. On the showing made Satur-
day the newly-formed All-Army team

Dougherty cup to be played for IN the
near future. ..-.... r.
The match was married by two falls,
one of them double spill in which
Bob Shingle and Lieut.. Potter, and
both mounts hit the ground in a heap.
Harold Sastle took the other tumble,
his pony geing over when he was
bumped by one of his own side. Cas-
ties speedy pony Sailor Boy doubled
up while Castle himself took long
slide that any baseball player would
have envied. Neither Castle nor Pot
ter were hurt but Shingle, although
he continued in the game, was badly
shaken up. When the match was all
over he realized that he was more
hurt than he thought, but no serious
injury has resulted.
Oahu was playing minus two of
last years regulars, this being rea-
son but was not an excuse for the poor
showing made The team was lacking
in combination work and rode very
wild, there being one or two occasions
when Oahu players actually rode each
other off the ball and many times
when they went down the field badly
punched. On the other hand, the two
cavalry and two artillery officers who
formed the service combination used
nice Judgment and headwcrk, besides
showing fine hitting ability They
have the groundwork of really good
team, and if they can break some
where near even in the matter of
mounts they win be strong contend.

sending the ball between the sticks in
30 seconds after the bugle sounded.
Lyman made the second army goal,

pretty pass from Beard.
In the second clTukkur Lyman put
the ball through after long run by
Beard.
In the third period Castle got his
fall socn after the ball was thrown in,
but he remounted as soon as his pony
was caught and then scored a pretty
goal unassisted When the teams
