KNOW YOUR CITY.


Many centuries ago great city by
the name Of Rome collapsed. There
has been many attempts at solving the
problem why Rome collapsed. But
there is only one solution, which his

to the city itself.

size is concerned; the streets, and
water system, do not come to par

POLO GAME TO
BE STAGED in
BORDER CITY

A sudden Shift in scene OF battle
and a final decision yesterday af-
ternoon set Mexicali as the place
for the polo contest between Mex
lean cavalry officers and the Ell
Centre polo team, and March 10,
one Sunday away, as the date OF
the fracaS.
1t had been tentatively decided
that the game would be played on
the county fair grounds here, but
members of the local polo team who
yesterday afternoon visited the Off
GERS in Mexicali, upon seeing the
Mexican field and grandstand,
agreed that Mexicali will be the
best place for the first contest.
March Is was set as the date
when the Mexican officers decided
that their equipment will have ar
rived by then, and they will have
had sufficient practice to warrant
meeting the Ell Centrans.
Members of the local polo organ
ization who yesterday paid visit to
the cavalry officers were Donohue
manager of the local team, Smyer.
captain, Hill, Strickland and Will
loughby.
Engaging in a practice game with
two Mexicans and two Ell Centrans
on each team, the poloists went
through one of the toughest ses
sions in the experience of the valley
players. Smyer and Strickland
were listed as minor casualties when
they received more or less severe
bumps on the legs. A horse col
lided with Smyer's knee. bruising 1t
and bloodyhg the nose of the
mount.
One item that will work to the
favor Of FL Centro in the coming
game is the fact that local mounts
are faster than the horses owned
by the officers. This fact may be
overbalanced by the superior play
ing, by reason of greater expert
once. displayed by the MeXicans.
Mounts belonging to the Mex
leans were used in the practice
game of seven chukkers yesterday
afternoon. FL CentranS returned
here with the firm conviction that
their mounts are better than those
of the MeXicali team.
