POLO Event IS LISTED
Army Teams to Hold Handicap
Tourney-War Department
Four Wins Title.

Army poloists will get plenty of
action in the ten-day handicap tour
nament that will get under way to-
morrow afternoon on the field in Po-
tomac Park. Seven teams will COM
pete. Camp Humphreys and the 1st
Division will send four each. while
Fort Myer will be represented by
three combinations. Two teams will
play for the War Department. whose
main four yesterday won the tourna-
ment which had been in progress
since last Thursday. The Warriors
defeated the 18th Field Artillery in
the final match, goals to 3.
The artillerymen fought gamely. but
their teamwork was not as good as
that of the winners. They were I'M
able to drive as long and as accu-
rately as their opponents. Majs. Hig-
ley and Herr of the winners were
especially strong on their game. They
always were well on the ball. and
sent powerful smashes through the
artillery defense. There was little
to choose between the teams as to
Workmanship, but the War Depart
ment four appeared to have the
speedier mounts.

so far as the threat to organize a
twelve-clu circuit is concerned it is
practical and will delude no one. The
weakness of the reorganization plan
as proposed at Chicago is apparent
when it is considered that it provides
for the new governing board to be
chosen by a majority vote of the
club owners. mans property rights
are not very strong when they can be
subjected to the whims Of one club
owner as under this scheme. A three
quarters. or at least two thirds vote
should be the determining factor in
this all-important matter. Then it is
members for terms of Ave. six and
seven years. Suppose it should de-
velop they were incompetent for the
duties devolving upon them, regard
less of their integrity or the extent
of their national regulations? The
sport would be in a sorry predica-
ment.

/ Besides the Harvard Centre College
game at Cambridge Saturday, several
other contests should attract more
than the usual interest in the October
part OF the schedules. Perhaps the
most important Of these will be the
appearance of the Naval Academy at
| Princeton. Not only will the contest
be one Of the few in which Navy
eievens have taken part on fields other
than the one at Annapolis, but it
ought to be interesting from a Navy
viewpoint. especially from the view of
those that have been trying to induce
for the Midshipmen a more liberal
athletic policy. Syracuse and Dart

game, as the former has not yet been
defeated and the latter has lost only
one game, that to Penn State by a
single touchdown. Georgia Techs
game at Pittsburgh holds the usual

pearance of the souths most powerful
eleven for three years against one of
the great teams of the north. Heise-
