THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WILL PLAY FOR POLO
CUP EARLY IN JUNE
English and American Teams Training for Notable Match
Bv CHARLES W. McCANN.
LONDON, May 13—Bole used to be considered by the British only as an amusement of the idle rich or pastime for desaining young cavalry off the road.
But since the American team arrived here to compete for the International Cup in a series of matches start soon, it's likely that we'll become a general topic of the streets.
The International Cup is one of the few sport trophies symbolic of world superiority that remains in British hands and the effort of the Americans to take the prize back will be the biggest sportsing events of the year.
Every seat of the 10,000 has been sold and the committee is planning to erect new stands to accommodate $25 to $150 for a seat.
The list of box holders reads like a poll call of the British royalty, nobility, army, society and fashion leaders. The international contexts between England and Britain in 1888 when a Hurlingham team, captured by the great Irish sportsman the late John Watson visited America to complete for a cup presented by the Westchester Club. England won and returned in triumph to the cup recover.
Not until 1920 did America challenge but then a scratch team, whofully representative of America, failed dismally o recover the cup.
In 1902 the American Polo Association issued a formal challenge and sent over a team, which, however, was equally unsuccessful.
In 1999 Harry Payne Whitney's "Big Four" gained a sensational victory over the best team England and got to the cup back to the United States.
There it remained until 1914, although in 1911 an English team led by Captain Hardness Lloyd made an invasion and invasion two teams failed.
Just before the outbreak of the war, however, Major Barrett's team including Major Vilaj Lovacki, Col. Roberts and Brig. Duncan in battle, and Lieut. F. M. Freake
Majority of Professors Have Characteristic Pet Expressions That are Indigenous with Them
Can you recognize the pet expression of your favorite professor among the following off-heard and charac-teristic words used in the lecture and classroom vocabularies of some of our University professors? Here are a few which are heard by my students every time they write, but make five, three or two times a week:
"Oh my gracious!"
"Now gentlemen, it's a fact! By George!"
"It created a veritable furore in Washington!"
“As I was saying...”
“Does everybody get all these points? Now everybody be sure and get all these points.”
"And so on and so forth."
"And so on and so tota."
"Pretty high ten year ago now I guess, Now take California or Arkansas for instance."
"Now, of course I know that, but I'm going to have some member of
snatched the spoils for England, thanks largely to the splendid ponies collected and purchased through the generosity of Lord Winborne, ex-Vice Roy of Ireland and a noted polo player.
the class tell you that."
Although the Meadowbrook "Big four" has disappeared from the game, the British pole authorities took no chances in preparing to defend the championship against England. The Hurling club, Eng and its governing body for polo, under the presidency of Field Marshall Haig, appointed a special "Defence of Major-General John Vanghan, who raised the polo teams of the 7th and 10th Hussars to an extraordinary pitch of efficiency.
"As our friend, Sandy, would say." It is true, perhaps, that some people have such a vocabulary at their command that they need never repeat the same expression very frequently, but it may be safely assumed that there are not many such here at the University. (Even our voluble cheerleader sometimes has to repeat an expression several times in a single exhortation to "bust a lung with a Rock Chalk.")
Anyway, it might prove to be an interesting experiment to try and pick out the favorite bits of phraseology from the classroom lecture vocabularies of our instructors here on the bill. Then too, it might be better to help students school in helping some poor sleep student on the back row to pay attention to a lecture that he would never hear otherwise.
Try it and see!
