With a series of excellent passing shots and team play, the best they have shown this season, the University polo team, forged its way to a 13 1-2 to 5 win over a favored Westwood trio at the Commonwealth Armory on Saturday. With next week's struggle against the 110th Cavarly as its last remaining game in the Boston Indoor Polo League, senior division, the Crimson trio stands in line for league championship honors, having won every one of its games this season.
The first chukker ended with Westwood and Harvard with one point each; the goal by W. F. Luton '33 following the first charge of the Crimson was soon answered by a spectacular shot from the mallet of Jasper Blandon of Westwood on a fast gallop the length of the field. Harvard rode into the lead in the next period, tallying thrice to Westwood's single score. Crispin Cooke '32, the University's diminutive back, and Luton charged the enemy territory in the last part of the third stanza, and scored one goal from a muddle in front of the posts, soon followed by an accurate kick for goal by one of the Harvard mounts.
The Harvard malletmen proceeded to sew up their lead in the fourth chukker, when Captain F. S. Nicholas '33, the stellar Harvard shot, sent three steaming aerial shots between the posts. Another tally by Luton gave the Crimson polo team a seven point advantage over the opposition. Two scores by Captain F. D. Sharp, the Harvard coach, playing at back for Westwood, stimulated the University riders to a concerted rush in the next period. Score--Harvard 13 1-2, Westwood 5. Goals--Nicholas 6, Luton 5, Cooke 2, Sharp 2, Blandon 2, Newbegin, pony (Harvard). Fouls--Luton. Time--six 5-minute chuckkers. Referee--J. S. Walsh.
