English Admit Yankees
English polo players admit
game as played in America against
Americans Is too speedy for them and
they are a unit In declaring their own
ing in the international matches in
1824 will not be any better than it
was in 1923.
Americans, they assert, play at twice
their speed. “They make every shot”
says Lord Cholmondeley, one of the
best players in the British isles, “by
not touching the pony's mouth. They
take thelr man at once instead of
waiting for him to hit the ball; and
they take the ball if possible before
it hits the boards, should It be going
om to them, and so xpeed up the
game”
Kince thelr experience against Amen
fean fours, the English poloists believe
the Yankee style is the hest and they
plan to use it in coming seasons. From
now on, they will strive for team play
instend of being four individuals
chasing the ball, They realize the
necessity of having three or more
capable reserve players ready to step
into the lineup who will function as
well or better than the regulars,
