GOLLEGE PLAYERST) RESUME POLO SPORT Yale and Princeton Will Meet at Meadowbrook, June 22 New York, June 15— (By Associat- ed Press)—Leading figures in Ameri- can polo,, foreseeing a future crop failure of material good enough to represéht the country in international competition have turned their eyes toward the campus and just now are engaged in cultivating the collegiate mallet wielder. The first fruit of the seed sowed by louis E. Stoddard when he became chairman of the polo association last January, will blossom at Meadowbrook, L. I, June 22, when intercollegiate polo, Yale and Prince- ton competing, is renewed after lying dormant for nearly two decades. College Mcn Are Keen With public attention focused on the game, college men will be more keen to take it up, these officials be- lieve and today at a private luncheon in New York, a move was made to bring in Harvard and form a trium- virate of the poio fleld that will com- mand as much attention as the au- tumn football games. . Accident Hurt Game Intercollegiate polo, officially born in 1890 was snuffed out abruptly in 1904 when a Yale player was killed in a match in New York. At that time Harvard was the only college holding membership in the polo as- sociation. Princeton now is the lone member, but since a team has been built up at Ydle, the New Haven in- stitution is expected soon to join and Harvard, it is anticipated will come in about the same time. Cornell al- ready has taken up the sport and other big colleges are expected .to or- ganize teams so that a circuit can be established.

Reprieved_ The reprieve of Captaln Ronald True, convicted slayer of a London music-hall girl, has stirred British political circles. The action is al- leged to be due to the influence of his mother, a noblewoman who was not known generally as his mother until the reprieve was granted.

ACCUSES DEMPSEY Jeis Willard Issucs a Statemehnt That Heavyweight Champion s Dodging a Return Match With Him, Los Angeles, June 16.—Jess Willard, former heavyweight champion pugil- ist, in a statement published today by The Express, accused Jack Dempsey, present champion, of *“dodging” a re- turn match with Willard. Local sports followers consider WillArd’s statement an open challenge to Dempsey. “Dempsey and Kearns fear me and have been dodging a return match with me since Dempsey won the title," Willard's statement charged. “I haven't alibied my defeat at Toeldo. 1-was beaten fairly and squarely, but I was never tendered a return match, Many thought I was not in condition at Toledo. T was not, but that was my fault, and that is one of ‘the reasons I want another chance at Dempsey. I can beat him if prop- erly conditioned, and the only way I would meet him would be with un- derstanding that I have four months in which to train.” STATE GOLF TOURNEY Miss Bishop, Champion, Plays E.\m.p— tionally Well At Bridgeport.
