BRITISH POLO FOUR GOOD AGGREGATION By PERCY M. SARL LONDON, Aug. 13. — (United Press.—The British polo team, which is to meet the pick of Amer- fea in the contests for the America Cup at Meadowbrook in September, is freely admitted to be a- strong combination, but among the experts there is not too much optimism as to its ebility to bring the cup bac to England this year. The British team, as origitdliy selected, was Lieut. Col. T. P. Metyil, Major T. W. Kirkwood, Lewis Lacty and Major Vivian N. Lockett, but after a few games, Major G. HA. Phipps-Hornby and Majer 2, Hurn- dall were substituted for Kirkwood and ‘Lockett, although these two players accompany the team as re: serves—reseryes, however, who may easily be included in the team if they show improved form on reach- ing*Meadowbrdok. Lewis Lacey is to captain the, side, th@ugh if Lockett plays in the big games, I should not be surprised to see the Anglo-Argentinian _ relinquish com-} ™mand in favor of the gallant Lancer major, if only as a matter of cour- tesy due to Lockett's ‘long: experi- ence of international games. ‘The -six men, named, would, in ordinary elrcumstances be regarded as strong enough for anything, but, although all of them have played throughout the trial matches this Summer, no four of them haye been able to settle down to serious prac- tice as a team, and ‘the critics con- tend that they should have been selected lagt year and allowed to gain team-practice this. summer, in- stead of virtually having to play for their places. Misfortune has dogged British polo this year. The abnormaily, wet period, whiclr.ruined the first month of the season, would have been bad enough ™for anything, but disaster came early when Lord Wodehouse, scheduled to captain the side for America, and perhaps the finest de- fensive player in he country, had a nasty spill and broke a wrist... Im- mediately ‘ following that, Major Kirkwood dislocated a shoulder, and, although he recovered in time to be definitely selected, his play in the final matches showed such deterio- ration that he was promptly dis- placed by Phipps-Hornby. The soft grounds on which the Britishers have had to play prac- ficaliy “every match must militate against their chances on the hard grounds common to America, as the team never seemed to get up the hurricane speed ‘necessary for inter- national polo against America. The ponies, too, did not get much chance of doing themselves justice on the wet grounds, and will find changed conditions underfoot novel and dis- concerting, As to whether the ponies are equal to those which: will carry the American defenders, the point cannot be decided until they can be compared, animal for ani- mal, at Meadowbrook. The general impreséion is that the British ponies will. prove inferior, but ‘naturally, we have to rely on hi Yor an opinion as to the merits of America’s ponies. 7 For the players, it is an absolute calamity that Lord Wodehouse can- not take club for England, but in Major Hurndale the selectors have found a splendid substitute. After witnessing , nearly all the trial matches this year, I felt that it was difficult to see how he could be left out of the team, even with Lord Wodehouse playing. He is brilliant in defense and attack, and, although normally playing No. 3 this year, he can turn himself, into a match- winning forward. With Lewis be: hind him in goal, Hurndall can be relied upon to take a strong hand in the attack, and his long hitting and accurate placing should give a “nippy” well-mounted No, 1 in- numerable scoring opportunities. Of Lacey there-is little that need be sald. He is generally conceded to be the best back England has seen for many a long year, and many claim he is the best back in the world. It was a great piece of luck for England that Olympic rules prevented him playing in the Olym- pic tournament for his adopted country — Argentina. Incidentally, how good Argentine polo is today, ‘was emphasized by the fact that the South American team actually won the Olympic tourffament without Lacey. His defense is wonderful, and he supplements long hitting and extremely accurate passing by bril- Mant individual runs which the opposing backs can rarely stop. He is one of the few players who may dare stop a ball in the air with the deliberate intentfon o* seoring from the hit. Anything within range of Lacey’s pony or elub is Mable to re- sult in a scoring shot, or a long pass, enabling his forwards to do the trick. Lacey is not greedy with the ball, but when he starts a run on his own it is with the definite idea that he can score. And ee erally does. The American forwatds will be hard put to it to circumvent him, and their backs will have to keep an eye on him all the time. Of course, Devereux Milburn is used to this sort of thing, for he plays the same game himself, but I personally do not envy America’s No. 1 the job of keeping Lacey quiet and at the same time of get~ ting past his defense. Freak Golf Shot M. ade on Local Course “Slim"' Brant, while prac- H.R. ticlng yesterday on the Community club golf course, made a freak shot on the sixth hole that is seldom dup- licatéd on any golf course in the country. On his third shot, a mashle from about 100 feet off the green, the ball described a perfect arc and landed squarely in the cup for a birdie. Ray Hulbert was playing with Brant at the time the shot was made. sonal reply enclose a stamped, wise your question will be answered in this column, Address—Jolin’B.

Aug. 13.—Fielding H. Yost says he has been experi- menting with moving pictures in hing his normal students this summer, He feels that a great deal may be accomplished in this way and although he does not say so it would not be surprising if film de- monstrations played an important part in the ivory drills of the Wol- verine footballers next month, Various coaches have been in the habit of having movies taken of games and using the pictures to point out to their men their errors in the way of form and tactics, but to date the screen has not been util- ized as a& supplement to technical coaching in position play. Perhaps Yost will be the first to do this. Knute Rockne is about the only coach who uses music in connection with his coaching, wherefore the light and intricate dance steps his backs use in their shifts. Knute told the writer he did not want a bagkfield man on his team who could not shine on the prom floor as a dancer, Which shows how even the cake eater'’s art is not wasted on the gridiron, There is a theory at Princeton that if the eleven could be coached to co-ordinate as deftly, deviously and synchonously as the chorus in the annual triangle musical comedy, the team would befuddle any defense. Perhaps at some future time, the Ned Wayburns of this country will have their places upon all football coaching staffs. Indiana university is going to make a real bid for fame this fall and the word is the Hoosiers will bear watching. Frank Sundstrom has been sumoned from the east to assist Bill Ingram in coaching and the material looks better than in years, TENNIS PLA. HOLOS UPSETS Walter Camp Talks on Title Contests Now Getting Started. By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) W YORK, Aug. 13.—Soon now we shall bé in the midst of the national championships of the tennis courts. t For a time it looked as though Harvey Snodgrass were to be a factor. Then as Little Bill Johnston began to get into his stride, his friends said: Johnston's year. But Snodgrass began to break and Howard Kinsey came along and de- feated Johnston at Seabright. Some say that Johnston is, merely saving himself for the supreme effort. If that is true, nothing more dramatic than his comeback will be imagined. But meanwhile there looms the conquering figure of Big Bill Tilden, sailing serenely along and winning champlonship after championship of loca] sections.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Fans who were getting all set to see the bout of the year, namely the contest be- tween Benny Leonard, the light- weight champion, and Mickey Walk- er, the welter king, at the Polo grounds a week from next Wednes- day will have to possess themselves in patience. Benny met and outpointed Pal Moran at Cleveland Monday night and received a nice plece of change. !He also received a busted thumb. Gibson, his manager, says the Wal: er bout will have to-be postponed for at least a month. Maybe it was very lucky for Ber:ny that he injured his thumb. Maybe he feels so himself. It is possible that while he was dancing through that 10-round no-decision . ¢ontest with Paolo, the thought occurred, what wolild he do in a bit more than two weeks when opposed to that rough battler, Mickey Walker? Perhaps it ocqurred to him that a longer period of training would como in very handy, seeing he had not fought for nearly a year and then against a second rater. And so far from accepting the injury to his thumb as a calamity, it is possible he may have regarded it as a very fortunate occurrence. He may have. You never can tell about such things. Anyway, the Leonard-Walker con- test will not be held on August 20 as planned and {t looks as if the fi will be doing well to see it by September 20—if at all. Expert watch and jewelry repair. Ing.
