equipment was provided by wealthy
tourists. friends of the university and
military men. When it was deter
mined to enter the Arizona team in
the winter tourney for western col
!eges at San Antonio, all sorts of e1-

the expedition. And, as well, the
string of mounts had to be increased
to twentyfour.

When the team arrived at the
scene of the tournament not more
than half of the twenty-four ponies

Col. Parker, the military comman-
dant at Arizona, never was a crack
poloist. None the less he has had his
share of success. He captained the
winning four in the Army polo series
in Cuba in 1908 and later he man
aged the winning four in the Army
series in Hawaii in 1912.
His ability as a coach was sig
nally demonstrated in the first out
side match played by Arizona after
Col. Parker had taken hold, the team
Fort Huachuca, 9 to 6. And in 1923
the Mesa team won fame throughout
the west by defeating a visiting Le-
land Stanford four in two out of
three contests.

During most of the season, how
ever, the Navy base ball nine has been
playing good ball, and the local con-
tlngent does not concede an advan-
tage to the Army particularly as the
Eame is to be played at Annapolis
The matter of form on the day of the
game will undoubtedly be the decid-
ing factor.
Navy May Pitch Heisser.
The Navys pitcher will be Heisser,
Dyer or Peterson. the probabilities
ibeing in that order. Heisser, VINO has
(been pitching class ball only until
this year, has record of having
pitched shut-out games against Penn
State and Swarthmore. 1t looks as if
he will be picked to start the game.
Dyer is promising left-hander, while
Peterson, who has more experience
than any of the twirlerS, has had a
rather irregular season.
1t is settled that Haerlin, a fair
backstop. will occupy that position.
Harris, captain of the nine, going to
left field. Fenno and Leslie will COM
rinte a thoroughly reliable outfield,
every one of which can hit the ball.
The Nays infield is also consider
ably above the average. Cooper is a
shortstop of much ability, and Bar
i Chet, the veteran; Mckee and ForS-
berg, who have been used at second,
are only moderate fielders, and the
former is likely to be chosen for his
batting. Ellis and Waid field the
first base position we'll, but neithe r
has done much hitting.
Annapolis Nine Good.
Chief Bender, head coach this year,
has had much success in his work
and the team, as whole, PLAYS good
base ball. Every effort is being made
to tighten up by the day of the Army
game, and the result is likely to de-
pend largely upon whether the pitcher r

1t is admitted that only something

Spectlon of the records of the Navy
and Army teams in competition this
year shows that the Army representa-
tives have made better performances
than the Navy in every track event
and every field event except the high
jump and javelin throw. While the
fact of competing at Annapolis may
have some effect, it can hardly bring
about Navy victory under the cir
cumstances.

shor1top. PittsburEh Pirates. A
superhne sh0rtstop and one of the
most cOlorful players In the game.
A good second baseman has the
habit of breaking up double steals.
The base ball fans naturally look to
him to crack such steals in their
infancy.
With a runner on first base and
one on third, the second baseman
cuts in for the throw from the
catcher in case of a double steal and
gets the man at home plate by quick
return throw. The diagram shows
this clearly. The second baseman,
in this play, cuts in about ten feet
directly in front of second base-to
take the throw from the catcher,
making no effort to put out the
player sliding into second.

English comment on the play of our

fair-minded discernment. 1t is pointed
out that whereas English and conti-

form early in the season, SO as to be
ready for play in France and at VIM

the great American events in late
August and September and dare not
arrive at the peak of their form in
May and June.
The evil results of doing this are
indicated, they point out, in the case
of Johnston, who had such a brilliant
European season in 1923 and then
in America went steadily down hill.
