Reds Score Safety Pob Prospects Look This Year,* Mabney Polo prospects for the coming year are exceptionally good! At least that's the way things are w. With all the starting team of last year in the saddle the Texas A. A M. Polo team should stand high when the final tally is taken. Last year the team had a fine season, having better than a .600 percent average, and having play ed some this summer, the team will be readly for some fast action. An added asset to the team' this year will be the new mounts re ceived bg the Cavalry. These new mounts will enable the team to play a smoother game and the spec- mk 'I tator will see a faster game The varsity members of the polo - men interested J shO squad back and ready for action Major Stevens eg Lidi are Norris McGowen. who rides 1 - L at one and fourj Jack Bute at two"' or three; Business Manager Clyde Raley is at number one; ing up from thg fish t promising prei peels are Lon Woods, Dyke (flli* and Find Homeyer.
