A MOTHER sport will be added to the
Hnineteen already listed by the Uni
xorstv of Pennsylvania when the holi-
dsv season Is ended on January 3. In
door polo is the new sport and, judging
10 tho enthusiasm and the following il
Do..ooived previous to the start of the
hol;dov season. il is bound to prove
success. Already the Red and Blue ad-
bercnts of the new sport have entered
a ieague that has as it other members
yoIe Princeton, Harvard and West
Point. At recent meeting the league
was organized and plans started for
schedule that will mean a home and
away game for each member Of the
league. a.
The snort had most peculiar start
NJ PENNSYLVANIA. Matter Of fact, at the
start there was no thought in the minds
of any of the students who desired
horseback riding rather than gymnasium
work that q polo team would be the out
growth. ,
II all started this way: A group of
students, firing of the monotOnous work
NJ the gymnasium and desiring to get
some outdoor work, petitioned the
nbysical education department to permit
them to take up horseback riding instead
of gymnasium work. In n short time
nermission was granted and the cnthu-
siasts started out for supporters. In
less time than it takes to tell il some
ffty ambitious horsemen signed up for
thc sport The original trainers of the
pIan we're western youths, who had
been used to holding the reins since
tbey were knee high to grasshopper and
t., No hpI rt1 hnrCng
as officers in the army. Added to this
number after it became noised about
that horseback riding could be taken
instead of gymnasium was Il group of
students from the East who knew how
10 ride horses.
Peculiar Start
A riding academy in the suburbs was
secured as headquarters for the squad,
and twice week they spent the after
noon dashing across country. A few
picked UP sticks on the way and started
hitting at stones and sticks along the
highways. This started the nimble
brain of one youth working, and he
suggested that they form Red aud Blue
indoor polo team. The entire squad
agreed When word came from the
colleges which recently entered the league
men Immediately signified their desire
to become a member. The result was
the netting in New York.
The tanbark floor of the new armory
at Thirty third street and Lancaster
avenue is to be used by the Penn team
for practice and games, If they can
secure permission from the National
Guard authorities. The horses are to
be- procured from the riding academy
