Facing the Princeton polo team for the first time since 1926, the Harvard riders will open their intercollegiate season at the Commonwealth Armory tomorrow night, inspired by possession of a string of well-earned victories in the Boston Indoor League. The game on the Armory tanbark will start at 8.30 o'clock, and should see a favored Harvard trio give the invading Princeton malletmen a taste of the hard and fast polo which the Crimson riders have been displaying since December.
Harvard suffered an upset last Saturday in the finals of the Boston Indoor League Trophy tournament, when the 110th Cavalry team, lead by the versatile Forester Clark '29, overcame the Crimson aggregation, handicap and all, and annexed the Trophy Cup. But Coach F. D. Sharp's first line of horsemen have at times displayed stickwork, passing, and riding little short of brilliant in the last few games, and have overpowered several strong regimental trios.
Captain F. S. Nicholas '33 has been the mainstay of the Crimson attack throughout the year and has been classed with the best amateur players of New England. He has been a consistent scorer and is expected to go far towards piling up a winning total against the Tiger tomorrow. His defense work, and cool skillful play in scrimmages, combined with the steady polo playing of W. S. Luton '33 and Crispin Cooke '32, has enabled the Crimson team to edge the Cavalry, Lancers, 101st Field Artillery, and Westwood trios. The Indoor Polo Association of America voted on a one-point raise in Cooke's and Luton's handicaps at its meeting in New York on Wednesday, a move which should comfort the Tiger forces to some extent. Another point in favor of a stiff Princeton resistance is the fact that L. S. Dillingham '34, star Crimson forward, will not see action tomorrow as he is still convalescing from an operation, which caused Coach Sharp to change the line-up in a radical, but successful way on the eve of the game with the Lancers a few weeks ago.
