Harvard's mallet-wielders opened their season on the Boston Indoor Polo League Saturday night with an overwhelming defeat of the 101st Field Artillery by the score of 13 1-2 to 1-2. F. A. Clark '29 featured by scoring ten goals while R. B. Burnett ocC. and J. P. Cotton '29 each collected three tallies. The Artillery players got only one goal, scored by Needham. The final count, however, does not show the great lead which the Crimson team amassed, because of the point handicap and larger number of penalties given the University players.
Starting the game with the one point handicap given the Crimson players in the league games because of their higher rating, the University horsemen soon galloped into the lead and were never headed. Clark started his scoring in the first period and tallied in all but the last chukker. He made the best shot of the night at the start of the third period when he travelled at full speed down the center of the riding ring, hit the ball at about quarter length, and with a powerful sweep, drove it the remaining distance in the air for a score.
Cotton and Burnett teamed up with Clark to give Harvard a trio that seems well on its way to another championship in the Indoor League Needham was the only Artillery player who managed to score.
The summary Score, Harvard 13 1-2 101st Field Artillery 1-2 Harvard handicap 1 Goals. Clark 10, Bennett 3, Cotton 3, Needham Fonts, Birmett 3. Clark 2 Furber 2, Needham time six chokers of five minutes each Referee Lieutenant Graves.
