Here is game that all colleges
and universities. particularly those in
stitutions which have r. o. 7. c.
courses, could take up with great
benefit. The government is interested
in the development of polo as
means of teaching young men to ride
and to handle horses, under pressure.
Horses and equipment are furnished
by tbe government and thus there is
every opportunity to learn the game
without cost to the participants.
Lack Of HOrsemen.
In many college centers there are
riding clubs; indeed, the great prob
lem in this age of gasoline is to find
horsemen to avail themselves of the
equestrian facilities that exist. In
New York the equine clubs always
are willing to mount college teams,
SO that the expense of transporting
ponies is non-eXiStent. save. of course.
in the Intercollegiate tournament in
March. when teams must bring their
own ponies.
The college game is being fostered
by the Indoor Polo Association, which
was organized last winter and now
is a powerful body. There are six
teams playing under the aegis of
the association in Philadelphia, six
in New York and three in Providence,
T. I. The association also has repre-
sentatives in Chicago, Cleveland and
Cincinnati. 1t thus will be seen that
already the game is sufficiently COM
prehenSive as to territory to offer
opportunities to many universities
In the south. in Atlanta, Birmingham,
Richmond and elsewhere, the tra.li-
tion of the horse is nowhere more
adequate and facilities for the de-
velopment of the college game are
broad
In New York the big new armory of
Squadron A. National Guard. State of
New York. will be the scene OF the
senior. junior and intercollegiate tour

Gently. is splendid experience for an

sporting feasibility of the adventure is
negligible. a team, he said, simply

Georgia University does well to re-
tain her foot ball coach, II. j. Steseman,
on the basis of a three-year contract.
Stegeman is not only a skilled coach
but a fine influence. His teams are
characterized by technical excellence and
fiery spirit. Few realize the, handicap
under which most southern coaches
wcrk. The material they have to
handle comes to them raw. The sec
ondary schools of the east and middle
west have developed foot ball to fine
point and annually they send prepared
material to the universities. But south

thus the greater and their achievements

TuE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE.

Sow that the invitations Of Mr.. Secretary
Hughes have been accepted by the various
chancollorics and disarmament conference II
certain to meet In Washington during tho
autumn or early winter. publloists are correct
b attaching vast Importance to the occasion.
In coupling with his invitation an cXprcssod de
termination to have considered far eastern qucs-
tions and problems affecting the Pacific Mr..
Hughes has managed to mancuycr tho allied
powers into position Of unusual advantage to
the United States
In the first place. here is practical demon
stration OF the inability of the league Of nations
to function in the manner claimed for 1t, Be
n it was the potent body 1t was dcSig-
mated to be, such a conference ~ that which
has been arranged would be utterly impossible.
And If the United states because Of lts refusal
to enter tho league, actually stood outside tho
pale OF international influence and association,
az has been contcndcd ty many who should
have secuted the very suggestion. then 1t would
be incapable ~ calling to its capitol con-
ference Of such transccndcnt importance.
Again, In this approaching conference with
possibilities far outrunnng those OF tho Vcr-
sailcs meet. the position of the United states
will be tremendously more advantageous than
they were on the latter occasion. Not only will
conference. but likewise the chief competitors
for the worlds favors will he In conference.
which Is tantamount to saying that, with
single notable exception, (and In our Judgment
that exception should not he madc) practically
all the combustihe material Of the world viii
he In conference. For It would he sicky war
indeed that did not have the moral or active
approval OF either France, italy England or
the United States
with such a conference being held In wash
ington, and for the purpose OF actually reaching
a determination concerning the most mcnacing
questions of the day well as limiting naval
armamcnts those Interested I'm world peace and
the creation Of some means OF avoiding wars
in the future. have something decidedly sub
stantial to feed upon.
Inevitably there win he little room for the
academician or Impractical dreamer. Nor will
there be a chance for horse traders such as
dominated the Versailles farloys and forced
through their schemes by mere majority vote,
thus filling a fccuud soil with the seeds OF
numerous wars. Tho Warrington meet cannot
fail Of accomplishing something worth while.
II nothing else, It will certainly dia.loso the real
enemies OF peace and result In fixing rcspon-
sibility where is should rest
our expectation Is that it viii mark tho he
ginning OF a new chapter In international re-
,atlons. will alay the irritation In the far east
and the Pacific. end the rivalry IN naval con
struction. establish form for HdiudiCating dis
putcs between nations, and put to sleep forever
tho fantasy otherwise called the league Of ma
tions. And an IN accordance with the practices
and forms of "od tine diplomacy" which nm
81 very recently was bitterly condemned.
