Playing Racquets With
Balls a Century Old

r INCREDIBLE though il may
sound, some of the balls used
i in the national racquets cham
pionship which wound up yesterday
at the Racquet and Tennis Club are
more than a century old The club
claims to have proof of it Long
before the Racquet and Tennis CLUB
acquired them decades ago the tiny
balls were used by some OF the
greatest professional and amateur
champions Of England. Constant
use renders racquets balls harder
and more resilient, and the old balls,
therefore, have been treasured far
above their intrinsic value.
The only new thing about the
balls that have been preserved from
decade to decade Is the leather COW
ering, which has to be changed con-
stantly. Such Is the destructive
effect Of the sharp rap of the ball
against the slate walls that the
leather casing is ripped open some
times in a single rally. According
ly, anywhere from fifty to seventy
balls may be used for match OF
ordinary length. At the rate of 10
cents a ball the cost Of single
match, not figuring the wear and
tear on the racquetA Is from $5 to
81. After a contest the balls are
gathered up, handed over to begin
ners to practise with and then
shipped to England, where the art
of covering racuuets balls is better
advanced than in this country.
Many of the balls have travelled
back and forth across the Atlantic
more often than the oldest ocean
steamship in service.

YALE QUALITIES FOR
INDOOR POLO FINAL
Princeton Wins Two Games
but Loses to Ellis on Total
Goal Score.
BY JAMES s. mitchell.

Intercollegiate polo met with most
auspicous introduction to the public
last night at the Riding Club, where the
first national championship was staged
under the auspices OF the Indoor Polo
Association. Four teams figured on the
draw-that Is, Yale. Princeton. Penn
sylvania and the West Point Cadets
and the contest was arranged on the
round robin plan, with the team scoring
the highest number of goals to be
crowned the winner.
Three teams took the tanbark last
night and played three matches, in
which Yale came out with the total top
score OF goals. while Princeton made
9 and Pennsylvania made 2. The result
qualities Yale to meet West Point for
the final on Friday night for the title
] II was explained that because the
! Cadets could only absent themselves for
one night from West Point the other
| teams were willing to the arrangement.
The strange part of the result last
night was that. although Princeton
scored wins over Yale and Penn. the
Tigers finished only second. In the lat
ter few minutes OF the game against
! Penn Princeton seemed to ease up
trife, no doubt the men thinking that
as they had two games to their credit
/ they must be returned the winner. They
were a trtf1e disappointed when the re-
suit was announced. On the other hand,
Yale lost one goal on account of pair
of fouls, but right through the game
they showed the real Yale spirit and
drove right through to the last minute.
In the first match Yale lined up
against Princeton. the Tigers showing
more cleverness in pushing the rubber
sphere around and they handled their
ponies with a much shorter bride
This latter tactic gave them the ad-
vantage of being able to wheel with
greater speed on the short space and
hit with better accuracy In this way
they beat Yale and Pennsylvania
While Penn did not show much form
they possess the right method and on
an outdoor oval with plenty Of room
TO gallop and hit they would make
decidedly better showing. That the
Quakers appear to have met with the
right kind of coaching was evident
from the freedom with which they
swung on the saddle and the good
attempts they made at nearside hitting.
by far the most difficult feature of
modern polo.
1t was announced that Squadron A
would give a big indoor tourney in
April. The talks OF forming an Inter
collegiate Polo Association were set at
rest by the statement Of the college
representatives who declared that the
colleges would stick TO the Indoor Polo
Association.
