(HE American Troop represented by W. H. Allman, C. S. Franklin, R. N. Harris and L. Rigg io scored' a decisive victory over the Light Horse—H. A. White, W. J. Keswick, R. J. Elles and W. B. Hughes:—to win back the Hoyt Cup which they lost to the Light Horse last year.
Gradually drawing away towards the end of the second chukker the Troopers piled in goal after goal without retaliation until the last chukker when the Light Horse made a spirited rally to score three goals in quick suc ce: sion, but the Troopers' lead was too much for them.
The Troopers won by twelve goals to six but the match was not as one sided as the score may appear. Every goal was earned through hard play in a fast and thrilling match and it was Allman's occu rate shooting that defeated the Light Horse-
Harris and Allman combined well and through the former's long passes Allman was able to score six goals. Harris was again prominent and played a good game, displaying clever stick work.
Franklin was a bit off colour and missed several rather easy goals. Riggio was reliable at back and scored two goals for his side.
For the losers Keswick and White showed to great advantage. Keswick was the man of the team and worked like a Trojan all through, while Hughes had a handful trying to hold "Allman and Franklin, but played well.
