Another unfortunate player yesterday was Kops who met a ball from A. V. White's full swing with his chin and sustained a deep cut. Although he continued to play after a fifteen-minute interval, it is understood that a few stitches were necessary later.
It is dificult to say who was the best player for the winners as each member of the team did his share in contributing to the success of the team. A. V. White and Pote-Hunt were a fast pair of forwards and were the spearheads of attack. Rogoff played in the pivot position and although he has not indulged in outdoor polo for very long and has been ill most of this season, it was apparent that he is well versed in this line of sport, as could be seen in the few times that he dribbled. Dribbling in Polo is one thing that is acquired experience and practice. "Big Bil Williams was a steady back and hit out some lovely long balls. He scored a remarkable goal when he took a long shot from nearly the centre of the field to send the ball flying beween the posts.
The Sparrows had one goal credi ed by the imposition of the maximum penalty against a dangerous foul committed by Martin, at the was only through the long hitting of Rogoff that the first opening was found and White galloped through to score the first goal. The Sparrows were again away from the throw-in and White's certain goal was blocked by Martin at the goal mouth but Rogoff dashed up to register. The third goal in the first chukker was the penalty goal The Troopers effected a complete reversal in the tide of the battle when they became the aggressors im the second chukker to go on a scoring spree to chalk up four points while the Sparrows were only able to retaliate once. Edmund Toeg accounted for the first when he confirmed his reputation of being a "dead-eye" by making no mistake with a long pass from Martin.
