POLO FRICTION STILL
RAMPANT IN BRITAIN

LONDON, November 29-The Hur-
lingham polo committee has taken
a decision which holds little promise
of removing the friction recently eX-
listing among polo players here, judg-
ing from comment in sporting circles.
The Hurlingham committee, which
until two years ago controlled the
games, was reorganized in 1929 so
as to embrace representatives of eight
other clubs, the idea being to demo-
crtaize the game.
The Hurlingham club, however. had
by far the largest representation on
the new body, which also retained
the name "Hurlingham Polo Com
mtttee."
Only 16 members attended yesIer-
days meeting. at which, by vote OF
IL to 4. 1t was decided to restore con-
troll entirely to the birmingham club
eliminating the others.

Guest. NJ. p, who presided and who

1t had been hoped before the meet
ing that some scheme might be
evolved by which the selection of the
next international team could be
made on more practical lines. as there
had been many complaints that the
arran gements for the matches in the
United States last September were
very unsatisfactory.

Careful observation of the position
shown will reveal that the hips have
maintained straight line back and
this shows at glance that the play
er's hips will move forward on
straight line through the ball. There
is no hip turning in the mashie shot.
Now study the picture still>clOser and
observe what has happened with the
shoulders. The left shoulder is in al
most identically the same position it
maintained in the address.
The mashie pitch is made wholly
with the arms, hands and hips The
leN shoulder Is held back to its stance
position because If you let il pivot the
blade will go back too far. For this
shot, which demands accuracy more
than anything else. there must be
feeling OF muscle closeness," or bod
lily compac;ness. Any looscness such
as free pivoting let's out altogether
too much swing. To obtain this COM
pactness of swing it is best to keep
the right elbow against the side
throughout the back swing and
until the ball is hit. This practice
makes a dependable guide" for the
mashie pitch.
