PINKERTON IS LOST TO UNIVERSITY POLO TEAM

R. A. Pinkerton '27, captain of the University polo team, will be lost to the horsemen for the balance of the season because of an injury sustained to his eye during a recent practice encounter at Dedham. Pinkerton returned yesterday from his home in New York, where he has been undergoing treatment, and immediately resigned his post as captain of the team. Holden White '28, of Dedham will succeed him.

Is Strong Player

The resigning polo captain is rated as one of the strongest college players in the country. Captain Winston Guest of Yale being the only player having a higher outdoor handicap. Pinkerton played on the University team as a Freshman, when first-year men were permitted to play, and was elected leader of the trio the following year. He has led every team since then, and in 1925 captained the outfit to its intercollegiate title.

White was chosen along with Pinkerton last year on the mythical "all-college" team. His handicap was recently raised from two to three goals.

The University riders will enter the intercollegiate tournament at Rye, New York, from June 18 to June 25. Yale is favored for the title, while Harvard and West Point are expected to fight it out for second place. The loss of Pinkerton will probably be a blow to the Crimson's chances.
