I would | like to answer every one, but it} would take me all winter.” It is a coincidence that the re- cords of the leading money-winning sires of the British and American turf for 1929 were almost identical. | Chicle, the imported son of Spearmint-Lady Hamburg, led the| American winning list with $254,- 665 due principally to the triumphs of the great Whitney juvenile,| Whichone, victor in the rich Bel-| mont Futurity.

Khan, among others, led the train- ers on either side of the Atlantic with total winnings of 74,754 pounds approximately $375,000, the result of saddling 58 winners. Anxious ¢z avoid anything like the fiasco attending the challenge for the International Polo Cup in 1927, the British already are ad- vocating a tryout of the best avail- able talent, whether Indian, Irish, Scotch or English, in selecting the team to invade the United States next summer. The original mention of Major Phipps Hornsby, Captain C. T. L| Roark, Captain H. C. Tremayne, and Colonel P. K. Wise as the in- ternational quartet is now con- sidered premature by London ex- perts.

The scrap was fast and throughout the game but the Unal- ga boys never displayed enough stuff to give the Alums much of a scare, for the Has-Beens had a few too many good players for the Navy aggregation. “Grassy” Lowe and Jim Orme! were the big guns of the offensive for the Alums. Just the opposites in size, these two forwards both showed plenty of speed and man- aged to keep under the ball a good | deal of the time. Speed of the forwards, coupled with fair passing, proved the un-, doing of the Unalga five. At half time they trailed 15 to 8 and were| unable to come out of their slump.| The victors ran their score up 11} more points in the last half, while| the Coast Guard was held to one| field goal and two foul conversions. furious | Summary ALUMNI— UNALGA-— Lowe (9) i Layman (4) J.Orme (6) .......f.
