POLO COLLEGE SPORT
Yale and Cornell First School to Accept Government
Offer
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Feb. 11.—"From the humble and inconspicuous role of a 'swipe' in the stables, John Jones was able to increase the highest rank of university greatness today. Astirde the pony he had been grooming and rubbing down for weeks he entered the game in the final period and after a daring Bill Hart ride down the field, with an open mouth, Jones knocked the tiny sphere for a goal that gave the Blake polite team a spectacular victory over Excellem in the deciding game for the championship."
This is an advance of some game some place, some time in the future.
pastime place. In
Harvard, Yale, Cornell and Prince
ton have adopted polo as an inter
collegiate sport.
Last Fall, General March chief o staff of the army, ordered polo es tablished as a major sport in all camps nests and garrisons of the service.
Declaring that pole brought about "the development of horsemanship, skill and daring so valuable for college," he argued that colleges take up the sport.
In all colleges where the R.T.C.E. is operated, the war department offered to furnish the instructors, that they would make mallets and all the paraphernalia.
Twenty-four ponies, purchased in Texas, have been assigned to Yale and Cornell, which were among the first to accept the offer of the government. According to reports practice has started this spring at both universities.
Princeton has applied to the war department for equipment and after a field is secured Harvard is to join the ranks.
Owing to the novelty of the venture and inexperience of the teams no inter-collegiate matches will be attempted for at least a year.
Pole for years has been flourishing in many of the larger army posts, especially in Texas. The success resulting here prompted the war department to put the sport on a broader scale and nationalize it if possible.

Lack of room and wall spaces in the Dyche Museum keeps the University slightly separated from its fully mounted specimens of the skeleton of pteronanodon, probably the largest extinct mammal.
Dyche Museum Has Fossils Of Largest Flying Reptile
The pteranandon, lived several million years ago and was nearly all wings and head. Its body was small with slender hind legs and a more stump of a tail. The wing spread was eight feet from tip to tip. The fossis of this reptile were found recently in Kansas by Handel T. Martin, curator of the department of paleobiology of the University of Kansas.
"We have the best pteranodon, kull of any museum in the world and we have more material than the american Museum for a mount of this epithel," said Mr. Martin today. There is not a complete individual specimen known. All the restorations have been made from what is

Professor Moore had charge of preparing the tables and the report on trade conditions in the Netherlands. The report made by him was adopted with only one minor change, an Allied Trade Conference at London.
Report of B. F. Moore Used in New Pamphlet
"Economic Aspects of the Commerce and Industry of the Netherlands, 1912-1918" is the title of a pamphlet recently published by the Department of Commerce of the national government. The material for the book was obtained from a report prepared by the Bureau of Medical investigator for War Trade Board in Washington during the war.
"Trade conditions in the Netherlands presented one of the most difficult economic problems before the Allies during the war" said Professor Moore. "Early in the war, Holland had imported necessities that were exported to them to Germany. This caused England to impose a practical blockade on the country. When the United States entered the war, careful investigations were made to determine the quantities of all commodities that Holland needed. From these statistics the exports to Holland were政

The phamphlet recently published by the Department of Commerce includes, in addition to statistics showing the production, importation, and exportation of staple commodities, is also one of the most important and a more or less complete report on Allied-Dutch trade negotiations during the war.

termed composite spectacles. Some of these flying reptiles apparently had a very elongated crest at the back of their heads, but our skull has only a few teeth and we can be due to the difference between the male and female of the species."
For more than thirty-five years Mr. Martin has been collecting these and other rare specimens from the chalk beds of western Kannas. Prior to his coming to the University, Mr. Martin worked on the U. S. Geological Surveys in Yale and the National Museum in Washington D. C. For several years he also worked these fields in a commercial way collecting and selling the material to many of the large museums of the East and Europe. The British Museum contains many fossils, and much of the Pterodactyl as complete or better even than that in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

The Right Hat and The Right Head
Sometime ago the Saturday Evening Post had a story of a young man who succeeded, beyond all expectations, through the simple plan of getting the right man and the right hat together. The story sounded extreme; we claim that it isn't, for many, many men come to us for their hats simply because we've studied their needs, and they're sure to get the style that is the very best for them.
