Glad to meet our old friend Bill
CsamIskI, who was with the vet
erans group present at the game.
Bill used to be Central South Caro
lina Boy Scout executive and he’s
a swell fellow.
The Red Cross groups deserve a
big hand for their fine entertain
ment of the wounded lads who
came over to the game by bus. Col
onel vonTresekow and his charm
ing Aunt Sadie were there to sltake
hands with lads.--The boys were
given hot coffee, cakes, doughnuts,
etc., and made to feel so much at
home that they an expressed the
hope of coming back again, not
once but many times.
We saw quite a number of Red
Cross w^ers on the Job. Among
them we^ Mrs. A. C, McKsln, Wil
lie Haile Clarkson, Mrs. John Wall
and many others. And our good
friend Cliff McKsin was very much
In evidence doing his share.
It may have saved the polo club
five backa, bat tbe sound system
of tbe U. S. army recruiting Service
is not so hot so far as carrying
thA voice across the field or even
up the aea toward the east end.
We prefer the equipment of Joe
Machado. We think the polo dub la
penny wise and pound foolish.
Their first thought should be the
customers and not the five bucka
We suggested several weeks ago
that the cock-eyed goal posts at
each end of the polo field be
straightened up. liiey are still

Phalanx, a three year old, heads
a group of fourteen horses belong
ing to C. V. Whitney stable, which
Is wintering here In Camden.
Phalanx has s rather spotty record
being beaten ten times in fifteen
■tarts but was impressive In his
last three, including the Reqisen
and Ardsley Handicaps, both at
more than a mile.
Joe H. Palmer, turf writer of the
New York Herald Tribune, in a re-,
cent column comment, says that
there is a friendly rivalry between
Camden, Columbia and Aiken as
wintering points. He says that tbe
Camden training grounds are own
ed by Mrs.’Marion daPont Scott
and are managed by her trainer,
Ray Woolfe, which means that as
far as the winter colony is con
cerned Mr. Woolfe is held respon
sible for everything including rslm
delivery of mall and the failure)^
any horse to work a half mile in
0:60.
Down in Aiken, as Mr. Palmer
so aptly puts it, the firm of William
Post and Son is in charge. If a
child gets measles'down there the
Posts are called first and a doctor
later.
t
Here'In Camden tbe hone group
is larger than ever this year.
Among the trainers are Horatio
Luro with about twenty horses. Tom
Waller who has eighteen head for
several ownen including Orefleld
Farm. Jim Ryan has the biggest
stable with abont fifty head and
Mn. D. N. Lee of Mlddleburg, Va.,
has thirty. Dion Kerr, Jr., Sidney
Waters and Kent Miller have smal
ler groups.
la the Esther duPont Weir stable
is Royal Governor, .a stakes win
ner last yser.
Kant Millar, who recently pur
chased Cool Springs, historic old
Southern plantation here, deserves
special note on his stable.. Miller
has Elkrldge, voted the outstanding
steeplechaser in 1948,' War Battle,
Battle Cruiser and another horse
that is expected to be heard from
this season.
Miller Is very popular among the
horsemen and colonists. He is the
nephew of a famous editor. Henry
Patterson of the Louisville Conrler-
Joumal. MOler Is very proud of
his horses which he trains hlmSelf.
He took 182,925, about ten per eent
of all the money offered in steeple-
ebasing last year. Elkrldge won the
Grand National while War Battle
won the Temple Oysthmey with
ESkridge cqming in second.
The week after the Oovemor’s
Day game, the famous West Point
Military Academy team is slated to
battle the Camden riders on Kirk
wood field. This game will prob
ably attract the biggest crowd In
Camden polo history.
"Carl Llghtfoot, tbe hard-riding
Camden player, fought a forest fire
a greater part of Saturday night
and all Sunday morning and then
played an hour and a half po!n
game in weather that found the
mercury flirting with the 32 de
gree mark.

. ’The Country polo foursome won
the annual series from Town by
taking the third and final game
Sunday by a 6 to 2 score before
some 1,800 spectators.
It was two goals each by Harri
son and Little that gave Country
the final game. Country took a 2
to 0 first chukker lead when
these two sharpshooters annexed
their counters.
Not that Town didn't battle
furiously to overtake the lead of
their opponents. Llghtfoot did some
spectacular riding and was missing
the pay dirt area by inches repeat
edly. Aa a matter of fact he did
push the willow between the west
goal posts in the final seconds of
play, but Referee Anc ‘Boykin
ruled that tbe bell had sounded
before Llghtfoot smacked the ball.
The first half was sit Country,
the bell finding them in front, 4
to 1. The second half was featnred
by some brilliant play on the part
of the players of both teams, each
checking in with a counter, Kirby
Tupper, Jr., for Town in the fourth
and Harrison for Conntry in the
fifth.
Country, after taking a two goal
lead in the first period, made it 3
to 1 in the third after Town had
scored on Lightfoot’s goal in the
second.’
The game was witnessed by some
32 disabled war veterans from the
hospital in Columbia who came
over under the sponsorship of the
John W. Crews, Jr., chapter of the
Disabled American Beterans or
gsnisatlon. The vets were accom
panied by David W. Gaston and
Bill Cxsmiskl an4 were greeted by
offlcisis of the local Red Crosi
chapter, whose canteen corps and
motor corps workers served hot
coffee, cakes, doughnuts, etc.
For the big majority of ^e vet
erans, the game was something
new and all expressed eagerness to
return again to witness another
game. The polo club has extended
standing Invitation to the veterans
to come to sU games.
Mr. Gaston had words of ap
preciation and praise for the wel
come that was given his charges
here. In particular he expressed
Eagles Win
Over Avery
The Academy Blue Eagles defeat

Avery, February 14, 82-86.'
The Blue Eagles took the lead
in the first few minutes, of play
and rellnqalshed It at the beginning
of the second period. At half time
the score was 19-18 in favor of the
visitors. /
However, in the last moment of
the third period, the Blue Eiagles
were sparked into action by N.
Nelson, who drove the five-cylind
ers of the Academy team back into
action, and led the Eagles again to
maintain a one point lead in the
remaining pdMod of the game.
