AMERICAN POLO
TEAM IS NAMED
Stoddard, MiIburn, Hitchcock
and Webb to Represent U. s.
at birmingham

New York, Dec. 7.-America Is to be
represented in England next June by
sextette of clever. hard riding, ag-
gressive polo players. when the inter
national championship matches at the
famous Hurlingham polo field are
played. Louis r. Stoddard. Thomas
Hitchcock. Jr.. J. Watson Webb and
Devereux Milburn are the regulars se-
lected to represent this country. Charles
G. Rumsey and Earl w. Hopping will
be the substitutes.
1t is probable that the lineup will b"
in the order named. In the senior
championship. held last autumn at
Meadow Brook, L. l., Stoddard played
at No. l on the Rockawav team, while
Hitchcock. Webb and Milburn played
at No. 2, No and back respectively
on the Meadow Brook quartette. Rum
scy played at No. ! IN the Meadow
Brook team. while Hopping was at No.
2 on Rockaway.
II. l.. Herbert, secretary Of the Polo
Association of America, announced that
fifty ponies were being shipped to Eng
land, and that they represent the equine
factor of the game nearly as ably as the
players do the human factor. The
ponies will be conditioned and trained
from the time of their arrival by a
corps Of capable attendants, so that
when the American players arrive next
spring all will be in readiness for seri-
Gus practice to begin.
Herbert said that grounds and stables
have been obtained in England. where
the ponies are to be taken and practiced
until the season opens. Practice is ex =
pected to start next April. According to
Mr.. Herbert. there is no such thing as
undertaking the competition the Ameri
can team is expected to meet in the
Hurlingham matches. The British play
ers are known to be topnotchers, of tbs
very highest caliber. and their ponies
are about all that any polo enthusiast
could desire, all of which insures a grant
battle for international supremacy mex
June.

NEW COACH FOR WEST VA.
General Belief Favors Successor TO
"Tubby" Mcintyre

new football coach will have charge of
the West Virginia University eleven
next year in the opinion expressed here
by persons in close touch with the ath-
letic council.
The redson for the belief that
'"Tubby" Mcintyre will be replaced is
the fact that the athletic board Of the
university recently announced the
Mountaineers' 1921 sports program, but
failed to name a football coach.
Mcintyre led West Virginia for six
seasons, and brought many notable VIC
tories to the Mountain State team. but
In, the season just closed, the Noun
taineers lost majority of their games.
There has been much demand by stu
dents for change in the coaching
system.

Comparison Of Scores

last Saturday is compared by her fol-
LAYERS with the 4-to-0 victory scored
over the same eleven by Princeton, and
they feel that the title cup will repose
in Houston Hall. Haverford players
and students are unit in declaring
that Penn has a better team and should
win In the play off. Coach Stewart
thinks that his aggregation is in better
form at present than they have been
any time this year and is confident that
they will bring another championship
to Penn.
Lee, the little forward, whose bril-
J liant work during the last few games
has been the outstanding feature of the
teams play, is rated as one of the best
goal kickers ever to wear the Red and
