Light Horse Team

The pivot man of the Light Horse team will be John Keswick who will play No. 3. He is probably the best they can get and any four-goal man is surely worth having in any team! He hits a nice long ball and not wild either! He has played in several important matches. The forwards will have to rely on him for his long passes as no doubt they will find difficulty in breaking through the Troopers defense.

In the forward line, the Light Horse have Henry White and "Buzz" Browne. The former is a confirmed forward and played the position with success in several matches. When left unmarked he is very dangerous. He is well mounted. His handicap is two.

Browne is not essentially a forward but is quite at home at No. 2. He has played polo for several years and is versatile in any position on the leam, having played them in various matches, Being a good horseman, he should be able to cause sufücient worry to the opposing backs to give White opportunities to score.

Elles has also played the game for some time and although he is a much improved player, having played in quite a few Cup matches in recent years, he is still somewhat lacking in match play taties. On the days when he is in form, he hits a long ball.
