TEAM WORK HELPS
PRINCETON TO WIN
First intercollegiate Game
Since 1907 Ends in a IL
to 5 Score.
BY CAPT. III. H. HOLMES.

The Princeton polo team defeated
Yale yesterday at Meadow Brook by
II goals to 5. Winning the first game of
intercollegiate polo played since 1907.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather
great number of friends and relatives
were present to root for their respective
teams. The souvenir and pennant mer-
chants were plentiful, but they failed to
reckon with this gathering. Absolutely
no business Meadow Brook crowd
never buys pennants.
The play In first chukka was good
indication of how the game was played
throughout. Princeton kept Yale on the
defensive. scoring goals without a
return. and 1t was not until the third
period that the Blues were able to regis
ter. Then III. Baldwin, who promises
to be a good forward. turned the tide.
In the meantime Jackson and Hall had
tailed 5 goals.
Princeton Attacks.
The next two chukkas saw Princeton
attacking almost continuously. but In
the fifth session Baldwin came to the
rescue again for Yale, carrying the ball
almost the entire length of"the field to
score the most spectacular goal of the
afternoon.
At the end of the sixth chukker, witE
Princeton leading, goals to 3 r. T.
Dean was substituted for Bulkeley. In
the last two chukkers Yale had quite as
much OF the game MS the Orange and
Blacks, but failed e. score when I'm q
position to do so.
For the losers the captain. 8. G. Hop
kins, and H. Baldwin were particularly
good. The latter comes from polo
family, his father having played for
Cleveland and his uncle for the Hawaiian
Polo Club.
Clever with the Mal1et.
Princeton was indebted to w. II. Jack
son and it's skipper, A. p. Hall. for the
superior hitting and team work that
obviously enabled them to defeat the
courageous Yale four.
The class of polo demonstrated by
these teams, who hsve had very little
outdoor polo before, was an agreeable
surprise to their friends and the gather
ing present 1t was very aggressive and
productive of long runs down the field
hard riding and unusually good hitting
for novice players, but both sides lacked
the necessary defensive tactics known
as hooking Of sticks
Only a third of the ponies were their
own, consequently they we're at the great
disadvantage Of using unfamiliar
mounts. These wera loaned by Harry
Payne Whitney, Louis e. Stoddard. Fred

The duration of the game was e'Sht
periods of six minutes and the consider
able money received for parking spaces
and admittance will Re kept to pay some
