The Camden writer points out that few of the spectators realize the strategy and coordination that Is carried out on the field before their eyes. The teams, he declared function as a unit with coordination of each individual for the best interests of his particular team. A well balanced team is organized according to the ability, temperament, experience and determination ot the individuals composing t the team. For instance, as Mr. Heath points out. the spectator sees the names of 1 the player on the?program. One is listed as No. 1, another as No. 2, another as 3 and the fourth as 4. Btit few people know just what these positions mean. No. 1 should be an accurate hitter with the ability to get away fast, take out the opposing No. 4 or stay in position whero he is able to receive a pass from one of his team mates and carry the ball down the field. On offense he must be where he can take out the opposing No. 4 so that his No. 2 can carry the ball down the field. No. 2 should be the most aggressive man on the team. His duty is to be on the ball at all time in the offeusivo part of the field. Generally he has the hardest man to ride in the opposing No. 3. He must be an accurate hitter with ability to handle his horses and direct the play of his No. 1. On of: fense he must be ready at all times to ! change places with his No. 1 and on / defense he must never ride in on higl] own backs but stay out toward the?; nearer side boards where he can pick? up a back shot from his won No. 3. H No. 3 is usually the most experienc- Hi ed of the team players. He directs 11 the play of his other three team-Hi mates. He must place accurately higH forward or back shots and must be Hi ready on the Instant to change from? defensive to offensive or visa versa.? | He must be ready to gg> through? changing places with No. 2 or dropH back into No. 4 position should No.H) 4 come through with the ball. 1 No. 4 must have the ability to hit?) long back shots and should be ready? at all times to take out the nearestI. opposing player to the goal he is de-H| fending. He must be ready to break? up a rush down the field by the oppos-H ing team and turning from defense toHj offense go through with the ball, al-Hj lowing his No. 3 to take the safety? positon. jy- ? Camden players, declares Mr.? Heath, are well trained and it is the II fast hard-riding and the enthusiast^ of I the players that has made Camden fl polo outstanding in the nation. I It is an admitted, fact that last sea- ?, son the attendance at the games in I Camden was greater than at games I played on the famous polo fields on H| Long Island .with the exception of? course, of international matches.
