Visitors Speed Is Offset.


TWEUT. GRIFF1ss opened the
IL, fourth with a rleverly handled
foul free shot which hetted a
quick goal, and two minutes later
Capt. Lucien Truscott broke the tie
over in favor of his side with well
placed smash between the posts. At
every turn in this period as in the
others the visitors mounts showed
clearly superior speed, but the Army
players outgeneraled them and man
aged somehow to prevent a goal.
Then in the fifth TruScott laid two
more neat ones on the line and the
Department malletmen seemed over
the hill and coaSting down. Winston
Frost had other ideas about that.
After a. look at the IA tally, he
cracked down so hard on the ball that
when Mai. Swing reached out to
check the shot his mallet head al
most went along down the way, too.
Frost was off like a streak after his
good stroke, with the field, friends
and foes, strung out behind him at
full gallop. He lodged an opponent
coming in from center to stop him,
and rode in to q follow-up, with
smash for goal.
Still full of ginger when the sixth
began, Frost gained possession of the
ball at one end of the field, nursed it
along swiftly to the center, loosed
terrific smash that sent it within
few yards of the pylons and then
raced on, still we'll ahead of the pur-
suing pack, to finish it off. The
score was rs. the Virginians were on
a rampage and it looked to be any
body's game still, but the Army riders
refused to be f1ustered. They con-
centrated on an iron defense until
the overanxious Virginians burned
themselves down failing against it.

THE Marshall aggregation and the
Army four lined up at 79 goal
rating, respectively, at the start.
Rushing the Virginians off their feet
before they could get settled, Maj.
Joseph Swing, Lieut.. Gordon Rogers
and Lieut.. Townsend GrifflSs scored
in rapid succession after the first half
of the initial chukker had passed in
fruitless scrimmage. The Marshall
players were unable to stem the tide
until the second minute of the next
period, when the veteran Dick Kirk
patrick tied the score with goal
from slow scrimmage. The Army
promptly massed its forces, drove the
ball down the field and made a re-
taliatory counter easily except for
sensational saves by Frost and Dennis
Skinker.
An interval of seesaw dribbling fol-
lowed until. almost at the close of
time, Skinker snatched the ball on

it up the field, lost it as John Rawl-

missed, but found the move profitable

willow with a nice swing and sent it

The 4-3 reading which ended the

Virginians were to hold the top side

~ VERCOMING a two-goal
handicap and the gen.
J eral disadvantage of in
~ ferior ponies, four War
Department poloiStS yesterday
afternoon conquered a quartet
of hard-riding VirginianS by a
rs score on Potomac Park field.
While $500 spectators clustered be-
meath shade trees lining the turf, the
Army officers rolled off consistent,
oattering attack which never wavered,
even under a fierce and exhausting
sun. Their victory nevertheless did
not come easily, for the Virginians-
members of the Marshall Polo Club
were mounted on faster ponies and
given to a reckless, spectacular brand
of play that held them in the lead
during two chukkers of the first half
When that 4-3 score at the end of
the goaless third period had been re-
versed into a IA lead for the Army,
seemingly safe margin in game
so closely fought, the visitors rallied
brilliantly under the leadership of
young Winston Frost of Middleburg,
a 21-year-old college lad who as yet
rates a zero handicap, and held the
officers helpless while Frost smashed
over two goals. He and his team
mates were still struggling to achieve
a tie and take a new lease on life
when the final bell caught them.

Safeguarding All Interests

The Bell Telephone System is
80 organized and regulated that
your interests as a user of the
service are safeguarded, as well
as the interests of the 800 900
or more individuals who have
invested their savings in the
business. The welfare of the
army of 200 Bell telephone
workers who build, maintain,
and operate the business is
equally safeguarded. To favor
any one of these groups at the
expense of the others would
not only be poor judgment, but
contrary to the fundamental
policy of the business.
IF the best interests of all
the people are to be served,
then revenues should be suf6-
cient to assure the continuation
of the best possible grade of
telephone service and to insure
the continued financial integrity
of the business.
The earnings of the Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company during the best years
of its history have never x
,ceeded 10 on its investment.
