OVERTIME DUEL
TUCKED away
BY MUNCIEITES
MuNcIE, 4; RICHMOND, 8.

That the word "hearbreaker' may
apply to polo as well as basketball
was evidenced last night when after
seven minutes and IS seconds over
time play during which thrills were
furnished at rate of something like
one per second, Jimmy OMetz for the
infinitesimal fraction OF second lost
sight of the ball. The score at this
time was three all. After Jimmy had
kicked the sphere into his own goal
II was 4-3. Muncie.
II was a sorry ending OF the polo
season. Some 1900 Of the old guard
had congregated to watch Sox and
his help-mates fight Muncie and the
ink which the invaders always carry
with them. Richmond held its own
with Muncie all right-but the jinx-
well, the result shows what part the
jinx played.
Jinx Works Aagin.
Sox Quigley. and mainstay OF the
Richmond team, isn't bit supersti
tious or any thing like that, but he
does believe land with many others,)
that this Muncie crowd has the jinx
working against the Quakers.
wonder II we will ever get break
with Muncie." said Sox at the con-
clusion Of the last game with the up
staters. THAT crowd gets my goat, !"
continued Quigley.
And things weren't q bit changed
last night While Muncie did shade
the Richmond crew in more depart
ments than one. Richmond played as
good q game as the visitors and with
an even break in the luck would have
made away with the material part of
tho score.
Muncie got an early start. At close
of the first round the visitors had an
account OF three while the Quakers
had failed to scratch. Doc Harold.
Williams and Fahrner were the
authors of this trio of markers. All
goals were the result of somewhat
lucky shots. None were the result of
premeditated team play.
