Lining Them Up

SPORTS OF THE DAY

The Winter Sports season may be nearly over; but the final flash is going to be brilliant one, for the undergraduate or graduate around Cambridge who likes to follow the fortunes of the Crimson athletic teams has two brilliant Saturday cards in store for him. Today, the final game on the hockey schedule with the week Eli five in the Boston Garden is featured, while he who prefers the turf to the ice can go over to the Commonwealth Armory and watch the Varsity polo team seek revenge over Yale. As a warmer-up for these two there comes the basketball game with Brown.

The polo team will ride into the ring tonight with a so-so record. They have again won the "A" League title, played for among teams of this vicinity, but in his most important intercollegiate clashes, Captain Palmer's team have dropped decisions to West Point and Yale, and neither of them were by very close scores. But the them got off to a slow start because the ring in the Armory was torn up, and they hope to make a better showing against the Elis tonight than they did last Saturday on the small New Haven ring. In the Armory the Yale team will not be able to play off the walls so much, and their pones, used to the small area at New Haven, will have longer runs to make.

Starting at Number 1 for the Crimson will be Fred Ayer, a Senior playing this year for the first time on the Varsity. A graduate of the Hill School, he rides in summer at the Myopia Hunt Club and here he does a little track on the side. Paul Fox, who played on the outdoor squad at Myopia, will probably split the game with him at "I". Skiddy von Stade, who was captain of his Freshman team two years ago and who has been on the Varsity all the time as an upperclassman, will hold down the No. 2 berth. He comes from St. Paul's and has played in the summers in the Meadowbrook tournaments on Long Island. Townie Winmill captain the team and plays back.

On the Yale team they face are two Dominicks, Pete and Bud, and both of them have played with Winmill and von Stade on Long island for the past six summers, sometimes as opponents, sometimes as teammates. And then Captain Edward Strobchin, coach of Yale, is a close friend of the Crimson's coach Captain Palmer, so the meeting between the two teams will be something more than just another athletic contest.

The track squad will be meandering into Providence tonight to take part the A.A.U. championships. It's nothing too definite on the schedule but the entrants will probably be trying to see what they can do and just keep in trim for the IC4A's a week hence. The members of the one and two mile relay teams will be there, though they will probably be split up, with Northrop running the mile and the others shorter distances.

The powerful Varsity swimming team will move one step nearer crucial with the Elis when they are favored to swamp the Navy at Annapolis tonight. Harvard, tied with Yale, Is in the League lead with an undefeated team, while the sallors are in last place and can't boast of a single win over an E.I.S.L. opponent. They are not likely to start tonight for the Crimson team has a wealth of material, and only the Yale bugaboo stands between them and the championship.

An innovation in Intercollegiate fencing, the Crimson fencers will take part in a pentagonal meet with Yale, Princeton, Army and Navy tonight. There are 270 matches on the card at New Haven, with nine men representing each college. It will be the first stiff competition of the season for Coach Rene Peroy and his Crimson gladiators, for they have trimmed weak Brown and Springfield teams without much difficulty.
