LAND IN THE 1S THE CATCHERS GLOVE | | 1 | | o 1931 The A, P Al Rigine uates of Old Eli have become some- what perturbed by the tendency of the undergraduate editors at Yale to squawk about athetic epi- sodes and affairs. Some of the squawks at New Haven, as a matter of fact, have not been confined entirely to the undergraduates, as in the cele- brated case of the tackling of Albie Booth by the Army last fall. Successive defeats administered to the Elis by the superior vars’: crews of Columbia and Cornell this spring prompted criticism of the Eli coaching system as well as com- petitive -tactics, despite the almost unbreken stretch of triumph for the Blue oars since 1923.

On the handicap basis, obliged to concede anywhere from five to nine goals to its rivals, the Elis' chances of winning would be only fair. Polo, however, is one of the few sports based almost entirely onthe handicap system. Every individual is rated at so many goals, up to a maximum of ten, where Tommy Hitchcock holds forth as the para- gon for others to be rated by. The handicap system makes for keener competition. It also offsets the ad- vantage any one club or school, such as Yale, would possess by vir- tue of its attraction of star talent. Instead of squawking themselves, Yale’s polo players probably relish the 'idea of having better competi- tien. If they play up to form, their chances of winning anyway are at least as good as any rival's. If they Jose, everyone will still know they are good enough to be included in international polo company.
