OPENING SET
FOR TUESDAY
Fort Clark-Huisaches
To Mix In First Bat
tie; Locals and Yel-
low Jackets Next

Fresh changes in the schedule OF
the much-delayed mid-winter polo
tournament were announced Monday
BY Captain Vernon Shell, polo rep
resentative at Fort Brown.
The opening game Of the tourney
will be played Tuesday afternoon, be-
TWEEN the Huisaches, crack polo ex-
ponents of the Houston Polo and
Riding club, and the handicap team
from Fort Clark, while the second
contest of the series will come up
Wednesday afternoon between a
team representing the local post, and
the Yellow Jackets another entry OF
the Houston club.
A possibility that the Yellow
Jacket-Fort Brown game would be
played Thursday instead of Wednes-
day was expressed by Captain Shell
at p. m. Monday after a further
conference with Houston players.
With a bright sun beaming down
Monday, and a promise from the
weather man that il will continue
for the next day or so, polo asso-
citation heads are optimistic that the
tourney will swing straight through
to a logical conclusion after its de-
layed start.
Decision to arrange the schedule
as il was made by Capt. Stell Mon
day morning followed a lcng-dis-
tance telephone conference with
members Of the Houston team.
1t is the present tentative plan
to hold the final game Of the first
series, between the winners Of
Thursday and Wednesdays games,
on Sunday. Capt. Smell said, and in
all probability the opening game of
the handicap tourney will be play
ed on Friday.
A game is on tap for Friday. and
in event it is found impracticahle to
open the second series OF games on
that day. the play-off between the
first two winners will be staged. the
officer said.
The field should be II first class
condition by Tuesday afternoon, il
was said. A crew Of men with a drag
and a team Of mules have been sup
plemerting the efforts Of Old Sol
Sunday and Monday in drying the
playing space, and the combined ef-
forts Of all are expected to result
in field that will be even better
than It was before the rain began.
