Wichita Falls went wild last
Wednesday and fThursday,
simply' because her ball team,
the Spudders, whipped to. a

haps because they are from
the Pelican state. Louisiana.
The first game was two and

wild over the team.
The remaining games were
played as follows at New Or-
leans. with the following
scores: First game 9 to no-

France has been trying for
twenty-five years to prove that
the Latin can be as athletic as
the Anglo-Saxon, especially on
the courts. America does not
begrudge the French victory. It
will force the creation of a new
set of champions on this side of
the water.
Although the victory of the
American polo four is decisive,
the reorganized British four
rallied in the second match yes-
terday and the British lion is
not disgraced.
The sujx'rior talent of the A-
mericans and their superior po-
nies won. If the British army
in India can produce three more
polo stars of calibre of C ap-
tain C. T. I. Itoark there may
be a different story to tell at
the next international matches.
Age may soon retire, the
great Milhurn,- whose peak of
of performance was probably
reached on Salisbury Plain on
Saturday and Wednesday.
