Princeton's proud polo team will be heavily handicapped at future home games. It's not that the Tiger malletmen are proving too good for competition; it just seems that they've run out of horses.

The Dow-legged horde of sportsmen are victims of a series of complications, according to the Dally Princetonian, that started when the horseman who rented out the ponies was accused of mistreating them by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The S.P.C.A. then sparked a run on his stable by patient but unpaid hay, straw, and oasis dealers.

And thus, for a lack of funds, the impoverished owner was forced to make himself searce (he is still being sought), and the Orange and Black finds itself unbridled. Without local horseflesh, the Bengals will probably have to play the rest of the season on the road.
