PENN ENTERS INDOOR
POLO ASSOCIATION
J ale, Princeton, Harvard and West Point Also in Netv
League Will Play Home and Away Games.
Fifty in Red and Blue Squad
ANOXIinit sport will be added to tlie
nineteen already listed by the Unl
rcrslty of Pennsylvania when tlic holi
day season Is ended on .Tnnunry 3. In
door polo Is the new sport and, Judging
hv the enthusiasm nnd the following It
received previous to tho start of the
liolMnv teason, It is bound to prove u
Mio'reis. Already the lleil nnd Illuc ad
herents of the new Rport have entered
. icngtie that has as it other members
Yale. 1'rlnccton, Harvard nnd West
Point. At n recent meeting the lunxue
wni organized nnd plans started for n
K'hedule that will mean u home nnd
away en"1" for each member of the
Ifaeiie. '
The sport had n most peeuliar start
at Pennsylvania. Matter of faet, at the
start there was no thought in the minds
of any of tho students who desired
horffbnelc riding rather than gymnasium
work that n polo team would be the out
growth. It all started this way : A group of
students, tiring of the monotonous work
of the gymnasium nnd desiring to get
some outdoor work, petitioned tho
physical education department to permit
ihera to take up horseback riding instead
of gymnasium work. In n short time
permission wns granted and the enthu
siasts started out for supporters. In
lei time than it takes to tell It some
fifty ambitious horsemen signed up for
the' sport. The orlglnnl frniners of the
plan were western youths, who hnd
Wn used to holding the reins since
they were knee high to a grasshopper and
t,rrral students who hnd ridden horses
as oflirers in the army. Added to this
number after it berame noised about
that horseback riding could be taken
instead of gymnasium wns u group of
Kttirtonts from the East who knew how
to ride horses.
I'millar Start
A riding academy in the submit was
ipeured as headquarters for the squad,
and twice a week they spent the after
noon dashing across country. A few
picked up sticks on the way und stnrt'.-d
hitting nt stones and sticks ulonc the
highways. This started the nimble
brain of one youth working, and he
tuggested thut they form n lied and lllup
indoor polo team. The entire squad
agreed. When word came from the
colleges which recently entered the league
that they proposed a team the Penn
men immediately signified their desire
to become a member. The result was
the meting in New York.
Tin- tnnbark Hour of the new armory
at Thirty-third street nnd I.nncnster
avenue is to be used by the Penn team
for practice nnd games, if they can
trcure permission from the National
fiiiard authorities. The horses arn to
be procured fiuin the riding academy

Chicago, Dee. 21 "I would not sell

clared President Charles A. Comlskey
in answer to the rumors thnt tire Hy
ing thick nnd fust that the old Roman
is anxious to dispiiM- of his club, thut
was practically wrecked in the recent
baseball gunihliiu caiidnl, when eight
of his star playeis were indicted by
the Cook county grand jury for con
spiracy. "I have an idea that some one very
high in the Amerniin League would
jump with joy if 1 were to sell." con
tinued Comiske. "I will not -'ll for
thnt reason, nnd nnolher is thnt I feel
certain that I will in u very short
time build nnolher team that will be
come a championship contender,"
President Comi-hev was notu'enbly
perturbed over the tepiitt that certain
capitalists had obtained an option 011
his club. It wns all news to him. und
stnrtcd by one of his enemies, who, lie
says, bad been -eliing his tenm to dif

The report has come nut o frequently
thnt he deems it unnecessary to deny
any stoiies thnt he eoiilempltites dis
posing of his club.
"It would be nn net of cownnlice
for me to run out tit n time like this."
said President Comlskey "My bnll
club has been shattered and it is my
firm intention to 1 ('construct it into one
of the best clubs in the American
League. I Imve always had 11 good

the season opens oil Apiil l.'l. I do not
think my fiiemls would think well of
me if I were fo sell the While Snv at

"I hate been connected with base

not expect nssistniire from other teams

It had been my misfortune to hint- hod
