After three weeks of intensive training under its new coach, Lieutenant Charles Palmer, the Varsity Pole Team commences its indoor season at the Commonwealth Armory next Saturday night in a match against a strong Westwood team. The Harvard team will miss the brilliant playing of the veteran from Honolulu, Lowell Dillingham '34. However the bout on Saturday night is an exhibition match, and will neither harm nor aid the standing of either team. Dillingham is expected to be back on the team in time to play in the first official league game against the 110th Cavalry on January 21.

Palmer plays on the Westwood team; but inasmuch as he has had to spend almost all his time in whipping together the Harvard team, he has had no opportunity to practice with his teammates. Coach Palmer has a theory of his own in training his men. Instead of instructing his squad from an impersonal stand, he has secured Dillingham and another player not on the squad, and thus forming his own team, he plays the Varsity, and finds that in the actual tangling of mallets with them, he is able to give them valuable assistance.

This year both the Varsity and Freshman polo squads are the largest in the history of the sport in the University.
