FOR THE GAMES SAKE
by Lawrence Perry

That still small voice heard today
suggesting a meeting between the
Princeton basket ball five, winner of
the intercollegiate league title in the
east, and the Purdue quint, which
captured the championship of the
western conference, will remain as
such. There will be neither echo nor
accompanying chorus.
First of all, both teams have broken
training. Aside from that, one great
objection to- this intersectional meet
ing stands as practically insuperable.
1t relates to the wide differences in
interpretation, style of play and Off
ciating that exists as between the two
sections. AS the situation stands, a
team of the west that plays in the
east has small chance of success. and
vice versa. Which logically let's out
all hope Of a meeting between the
Tigers and the Boilermakers.
Yet, go far as the rules go. there is
apparently no reason why the east
and the west should not play a
standardized game. Western officials,
however, permit greater license in the
way of physical contact. especially in
guarding on the defense. Eastern
schemes Of team attack go to pieces
before the rugged defensive tactics
Of WESTERN opponents, while a team
from beyond the AIleghenies playing
on an eastern court, with eastern Off
cials in command, finds itself smoth-
cred under penalties for fouls

GOLF BEING TAKEN Up
BY "REAL" AMERICANS

And now the American Indians
have taken up golf. many of the alb
original caddies on the courses in
Arizona having procured clubs, and,
by initiating the white man, have be-
come fairly proficient in the game
that is played more universally than
any other sport.
Since Caucasians first set foot on
the soil in America they have been
inculcating the use of various insti-
tutions of civilization among the au-
tochthonic denizens of the land. reap
ing much discomfort from the in
PRODUCTION of alcoholic beverages and
firearms. These gifts of European
progress were made largely in return
for the Indians tobacco, his maize
and ultimately his hunting grounds.
The one gift from the natives that
was lacrosse, but this claim seems
now to be balanced by the inculca-
tion of the Indigenous races in golf.
At the New Ingleside Club, near
Phoenix, AriZ., young bucks from
nine different tribes have gained con-
siderable proficiency, and. with gift
clubs from winter visitors. practice
the various strokes tenaciously. With
the natural swing begotten of loose
Joints, the sinewey muscles of the
keen-eyed redskin drive far and
straight, and approach with the ac-
curacy for which their tomahawk-
ing forefathers were justly feared by
the white pioneers.
All of which makes it possible that
some day the national championship
will be won by a golfer who is indis-
putably an American.

Base ball wiz be ushered in at the
Hilltop tomorrow afternoon. when
Georgetown's varsity nine is to en-
tertain the aggregation from Della

lineup that so decisively defeated the
Naval Training Station team in two
games at Hampton last week. Della

Georgetown a good battle. The game

the former won, Is to 3.

Norfolk, where they will tackle the
Naval Training team tomorrow and

The opening match may be viewed
by President Harding. He Is an ar
dent horseman and thoroughly enjoys
polo. Should he attends he probably
mails which he rides through Wash
ington's bride paths every few days.
Gen. Pershing and other high ranking
Army officers are to be present.
Many Journeys Planned.
The War Department intends to
conduct quite pretentious polo cam
paign here this year. Besides the tour
district will compete, there will be
others that will bring into action ci-
william teams from Philadelphia, New
York and other eastern cites and
Army quartets from Camp Grant and
southern posts. An effort will be
made to have the Cuban army four,
which played here last summer, visit
fer another tournament.
Polo is the most spectacular and
perhaps the least understood Of all
sports on the local calendar. but last
spring and summer the game proved
contests in Potomac Park driveways
on both sides Of the field were jammed
with parked automobiles and crowds
swarmed along the sideboards. The
matches in the Cuba-United States
Army tourney were witnessed by
LHOuSaHQS.
Any polo game is replete with
thrills provided by the splendid horse
manship of the players and the keen
quality Of the competition. The game
is played in periods, commonly called
chukkers. lasting from Ave to seven
and one-ha1f minutes. There are gen.
orally six chukkers to a game, but
this number may be increased or re-
duced.
-Four Players on Team.
Teams are composed of four mount
ed players in positions numbered /, ..
3 and 4. One and 2 sometimes are
called forwards and and backs.
With mallets. the players endeavor
to drive wooden ball between goal
posts at the field ends. Players gen.
orally pair OF with their opponents
and there is much jockeying for posi-
tfon that requires expert horseman-
ship.
The game is a fascinating one and
appears extremely dangerous to the
average spectator In the Army, how
ever. men are not permitted to play
in matches until they are we'll trained
both as horsemen and poleists. Those
who enjoy superb horsemanshiP will
derive as much pleasure from watch
ing a polo match as others who are
always thrilled by competitive sport
