Eastern Football Officials Unanimous

Football officials representing nearly
all the large eastern colleges met in
New York recently and unanimously
adopted a resolution sustaining Glenn
Warner in his conduct of athletics at
Carlisle Indian school. The resolution,
according to an announcement made
after the meeting by Dr. James A.
Babbitt of Philadelphia, was directed
to the commissioner of Indian affairs
at Washington.
The commissioner was informed in
the resolution that it was the attitude

in particular has attained national
prominence.

Challenging Polo Team Well Mounted

But for the superiority of the Amer
lean ponies the English have all along
contended they would have won back
the international polo cup at the first
attempt.
There was some truth in this, for it
was very plain. both i'll 1911 and last
year, that whenever it came to neck
and neck race down the field the Amer
lean pony invariably won by a nose
and that is quite enough at any time
TO enable the lucky player to reach the
ball first and to either shoot a goal
himself or open the way for another
member of the team to do so.
Those who have seen Lord VIM

struck with the speed each one of
them can show The English ponies
are smaller than the American. it is
true, but they are all thoroughbreds,
and that means swiftness of foot.
They have certainly a terrific turn of
speed. but it is doubtful whether they
are as handy as those at the disposal

Twin State Notes.

Brattleboro has contributed the first
scoreless game.
Sullivan s fielding for Bellows Falls
yesterday was pretty punk.
There are three ties for as many po-
sitions in the league standing.
We have distinguished company in
the cellar-none other than the
Champs.
Gilligan went inCo the river for a
long hit and his work made the usual
home run only a triple.
We have given Newport a good start
towards the pennant and safely taken
Ip position in the cellar
Long-drawn-out games seem to be a
speciality. The game at Northampton
yesterday took two hours and 30 min
utes for nine innings.

graduated from Holy Cross this spring,

time that their mounts did not move
fast enough. but there are many horse
men who wondered how the cup chal-
lengers We're able to pull the ponies up
once they got under way. As one pony
trainer put it before the match:
1T will take a brick wall to stop
these English ponies once they have
started. When the whole British team
starts off at gallop down the field
only the grand stand will prevent these
race horses from taking a cross coun-
