V. Colt’s charge, play under the guid- ance of Tenby, Milburn’s favorite mount. Tenby is a nearly-black vet- eran, twenty-two years of age, he was a member of Harry Payne Wihit- ney’s victorious invading team which won the Polo Cup over here as far back ag 1909. He also played in all the international matches -of 1911, 1913, 1914, at Meadowbrook, L. I and what Tenby doésn’t know about polo isn’t worth learning. It is his knowledge of the game that enables Tenby to remain the star performer at an age when most horses are regarded ‘as too ol for ordinary work, quite apart ‘from the strenuous life of a polo pony.. Ponies: new to the game get excited and take a‘tremendous amount out of them- selves, but the wise old omes lke Tenby know better. They colservé their strength, and watching the gdme- as clogely aa their T{der, know exactly when and where to move. ‘A hurricane attack by an oppos- ing No. 2 doesn’t worry Tenby. He staves off the most persistent ob- structive tactics of the rival No. 1 al- most without the touch of Milburn’s guiding legs, and he knows imme- diately whether it Wwill be necessary for Milburn to takea hand. . Unfortunately, even a Tenby can- not stand the strain of a whole| mateh, and Mmmr? nurses his fav- orite, generally usigg him for the most critical “Chukker.” when braim work g required.’ His moral influ- ence ‘'on ‘the other animals, however; is ‘tremendous whether playing or standing by.

But seéing 'a veteran 1like Tenby standing unmoved by the proximity of charging animals or rolling balls, he realizes the futility of over-éagern( i Tenby-readily-acte@t as host :to the United Press and introduced a few of the stars. little light-browh mare, wise to the work of No. 1; Peroxide, @ . flashy looking chéstnut with a white streak- ed face, frisky and high, spirted and burning to make every run by No, a scoring _effort, Peggy, ~ Lugky Strike, Aunt’ Ag¥,' Speed, Naughty Girl, Guintess, Miss Jacob---their names are all to be found painted on the doors of the /boxes in King George’'s best paddocks at Hampton Court, although the animals have since moved to Hurlingham.

WHY THE HURRY TO GET OUT OF SHEEP? |FIRST FOOTBALL GAME PLAYED FOR CANNON Denver, May 27.—A revolutionary war cannon was the prize for which This was the statement of a Min- R',ut.ge_rs college and Prince univer- ety ifastice sity first played organized inter-col " legiate football in November, 18§69, iastic about sheep when wool was aceording to Homer D. Boughner of Denver, who was a member of the Pripceton team. i here were no regulation uniforms in those days and there were 20 to 256 men on a team, as Boughner remem- bers. Holding the ball or running with it violated the rules as did hold- ing or tripping of players. Rutgers won the first game, six goals to four. The return game was won by Princeton, Nov. 13, 1869, eight goals to nothing, Boughner said. The deciding game was never played, the faculties of the schools believing the interest of the students over tho games was detrimental to scholarship. Later, Boughner said, Princeton won the cannon. No admissions were charged to the games and the visiting team and root- ers were royally entertained.

Cavert, Uni- sity Farm etxensionist, “when he said there was no money in sheep with wool at 20 cents, provided the market for lambs is not high enough to offset the low price of wool. How- ever, I believe that when one can buy good ewes at 0 a head, it is a good time to stay in the sheep busi- ness. If one has knowledge of sheep and has the necessary feed and fences he should certainly buy a few of the ewes that the neighbors wish to sell around half of the previous p ) or less. At any rate, it is certainly a much better time to stay in the sheeyt business or to get into it, than when prices of ewes and wool are ab- normally high. The sheep and wool market cannot go much lower and if sheep growers get discouraged it will not be many years before it is much better.
