CRIMSON VANQUISHED IN ROUND ROBIN POLO

WHITE AND MANDELL CROSS MYOPIA'S GOAL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University polo team was defeated by both the Princemere and Myopia malletmen Saturday afternoon in a round robin played between the three teams on the Princemere Field at Beverly Farms.

The Crimson quartet benefited by more practice in the first tilt of the afternoon when it rode against the strong Princemere team which ended in three chuckkers of action with a victory of 8 to 0.

The second game between Myopia and Harvard, ended 7 to 2 in favor of Myopia after three chuckkers. Princemere and Myopia played the third game of three chuckkers. The line-up of the teams was the same as that which played against the University, the score being 6 to 0 in favor of Princemere, Henry East of the Princemere aggregation played his usual stellar game making the largest number of scores of the afternoon.

Mandell Rides Hard for Tally

In both games the Crimson horsemen were confronted by strong handicap combinations. The Princemere opposition centered in the team work of F. H. Prince, veteran malletman and Harry east, rated one of the outstanding number 2 riders in the country. The second match with Myopia was featured by the two scores of W. H. White '28 and J. P. Mandell '29, both made in the first chucker of the encounter. Mandell's tally was a result of a fast gallop three quarters the length of the field.

Saturday's game against Myopia was the third of a series of practice games following a month's training at Dedham and preliminary to the intercollegiate title play at the Westchester-Biltmore Club at Rye, New York, next week. In the tournament the Crimson mallet men will face West Point, Pennsylvania Military College, Princeton and Yale respectively on June 16, 18, 20, and 25. Each team will meet the other entrants once, and the outfit with the highest average takes the title.

Crack Mounts Shipped

The polo ponies are being shipped down to Rye this morning and the University riders will be better mounted there than they have previously been. Preliminary to the opening engagement they will spend several days in final practice.

The lineup of the three teams in Saturday's round robin are as follows:

Harvard: Gage Irving, 1; J. P. Cotton '29, 2; W. H. White 3 and J. P. Mandell '29, Back.
