Intercollegiate Polo

Whatever opinion one may hold of the Government's intrusion into our academic sanctuaries with the intensive Reserve Officers' Training Corps courses, the fact remains that intercollegiate polo has thereby become a practical reality. The shockingly expensive equipment and the esoteric training, heretofore exclusively associated with great wealth, are automatically available. War Department efforts since 1918 to make polo a recognized sport have culminated in an intercollegiate championship at Fort Hamilton, N. Y. The effect on American polo cannot be otherwise than beneficial.
