Elis Rule Favorite in Second Polo Game With Crimson at 9:30 O'Clock Tonight in Armory

Eli Yale's polo team will invade Commonwealth armory at 9:30 o'clock tonight for the second in a three game series with the Crimson. Yale rules a heavy pre-game favorite due to its 12 to 7 victory in the first game at Chicago and the Crimson's loss of two members of the first team.

The team Major Sargent has selected to face the Yale malletmen is composed of: Bennett Forbes at number one, Ben Dillingham at number two, and Warwick Stabler or Cain Burrage at defense. This lineup is not the strongest stringers, Gay Dillingham and Pate Rumsey, are on the sick list. Major Sargent explained the seriousness of the loss when he said that the absence of one man on a three-man polo outfit is like the loss of four men to a football team.

Yale has been undefeated in competition so far this year, using the same formidable lineup that captured the indoor intercollegiates for them last year. In Chicago the Elis trampled Major Sargent's outfit 12 to 7, but the defeat was not as complete as the score indicates, for the Crimson came back in the last period to play their opponents off their feet. It must also be taken into consideration that the Yale team ranks five goals higher than the Crimson, and were it not for the fact that all college games are played on the flat, the contest would have ended in a tie.

Major Sargent stated, "The team has been hampered by illness and scholastic difficulties throughout the season, but I believe it will make a fine showing against Yale despite the loss of two of its key men."
