BRITISH POLO TEAM
MAKES U. S. TOUR

The American Polo Association is
going to try a nervy financial expert
ment this Summer. 1t is going
to import a British polo team, fit IT
out with horse cars and Pullmans and
send it transforming throughout the
country.
Earl Hopping, who has been play
ing a great deal of English polo in
the last few years, will get the team
together and it will arrive here early
in July. Beginning at Philadelphia,
the Britishers will work westward,
playing at Cleveland, ,-.-Detroit;- Gin
cinnati, Chicago, Denver and, perhaps,
on to the West coast.
The team will meet local outfits
and thus will be organized on a.
15-goaI basis, it being decided that
formidable to give American fours
that will be met a sporting chance
of victory.
1t is not at all certain that this
venture will prove profitable, al
though the polo association seems to
think that it will.
This greatest of all games is, how
ever, a class game and knowledge of
it is very strictly confined to horse
men. There are lots of horsemen
throughout the West, but it Is the
public, attracted by prospects of
thrilling sport, that makes the turn
stiles click to the tune of big money.
Unquestionably Philadelphia will
pay well. Here is probably the best
polo city in the country. That 1t is
far better than New York is to be
shown any time when crowds that
go to Meadowbrook to see other than
international games are compared to
the normal gatherings at Phila-
delphia

holes of the finals all even. They
went on the first extra hole and
there IL seemed clearly demonstrated
that the fates were against the
American.
Hilton hooked his drive out of
bounds, but the ball struck a rock
and bounded back into the fairway.
He then hooked his second shot out
of bounds, but again the ball hit a
rock and bounded back This time IL
finished up dead to the pin and Hill

Three major topics will come be-

The forward pass and the open
game in general most likely will re-
main untouched after having been
approved by the coaches and Off
cials at their meetings.
However, the kick off will return
to the 40-yard line of the kicking
side and the tee will be returned to
the game, as it is almost unanimous
opinion that many stirring plays were
eliminated when balls were booted
across opposing lines for touchbacks
The first down after an ofside
