THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL The playing of the Leavenworth Team was excellent throughout, and this team should win the twelve goal championship. Little doubt is felt that some of the above Army players will be advanced to Junior Championship play next year. Junior Championship 1926.—The Junior Championship for teams aggregating twenty goals was held at Rye, New York, this year. With the exception of Captain C. H. Gerhardt, Cavalry, an entirely new squad was picked by the Central Polo Committee of the Army this year. The Army economy program barred some players from consideration, and it was only through the generous coöperation of the Army at large that the team was able to participate. The task seemed almost hopeless at first, and the greatest credit is due the individual members of the team that assembled at Mitchell Field for organizing and perfecting a machine which carried them to victory over opposition that it did not seem possible to overcome. Much credit is also due Colonel Lewis Brown, Jr., Cavalry, for his selection of the individuals to compete. About the middle of July, the team began to function with satisfying results as shown by the following scores: On July 17th the Army team won 5-4 against a Meadow Brook Team. They lined up as follows: Army Meadow Brook No. 1, G. C. Benson, F. A. No. 1, Ewing No. 2, C. H. Gerhardt, Cav. No. 2, Whitney No. 3, H. D. Chamberlin, Cav. No. 3, Peters No. 4, K. C. Greenwald, F. A. No. 4, Phipps On July 20th, the Army won 11-5 against the Meadow Brook Whites as follows: Army Meadow Brook No. 1, G. C. Benson, F. A. No. 1, Grace No. 2, C. H. Gerhardt, Cav. No. 2, Cooley No. 3, H. D. Chamberlin, Cav. No. 3, Von Staade No. 4, K. C. Greenwald, F. A. No. 4, McFadden On July 22nd, the Army won decisively by a score of 11-4 as follows: Army Meadow Brook No. 1, G. C. Benson, F. A. No. 1, Talbot No. 2, C. H. Gerhardt, Cav. No. 2, Hitchcock No. 3, H. D. Chamberlin, Cav. No. 3, Richards No. 4, K. C. Greenwald, F. A. J. K. Brown, Cav. 4 periods each. 548 No. 4, Phipps
CURRENT FIELD ARTILLERY NOTES Ponies were used only one period apiece in the three games (8 ponies per player) in order to save them for tournament play and condition them, as many of the ponies had been in pasture at Front Royal, Virginia, since last fall. Four teams entered the Junior Championship—three Civilian teams and one Army team. The Civilian teams were composed of players seasoned by many years of championship polo, which makes the army victory all the more creditable. On August 4th, the Army played its first tournament game against Meadow Brook. It was a hard fought match, and the Army nosed out victorious with a score of 8-7. The line up was as follows: Army Meadow Brook No. 1, G. C. Benson, F. A. No. 1, R. P. Smith No. 2, C. H. Gerhardt, Cav. No. 2, H. E. Talbot, Jr. No. 3, H. D. Chamberlin, Cav. No. 3, Fred Roe No. 4, K. C. Greenwald, F. A. No. 4, R. Wanamaker The Army showed its wonderful development of team work in this game. This victory put the army team in the finals. On August 7th, the finals of the Junior Championship were played. The Army was opposed by Bryn Mawr with a line-up of veterans, who had eliminated the Greenwich team: Army Bryn Mawr No. 1, G. C. Benson, F. A. No. 1, Earle No. 2, C. H. Gerhardt, Cav. No. 2, Gatins No. 3, H. D. Chamberlin, Cav. No. 3, McFadden No. 4, K. C. Greenwald, F. A. No. 4, M. Belmont The Army won 16-6, and retained the Junior Championship of the United States. More and more Army players are reaching Junior Championship Calibre and it is hoped that before long more than one army team may enter the Juniors. To further show the improved status of army players, the United States Polo Association has picked two army players to participate in the Open Championship of the United States, this fall. They are Captain P. P. Rhodes, F. A., and Captain C. H. Gerhardt, Cavalry. Both played on Major Louie Beard's fine team that defeated the British Army Officers in England last year. It is to be hoped that hereafter army officers will always be chosen to not only represent us in Open Championships, but soon in Inter-national Competitions as well. Funds for supporting the game are lacking, but those who have given can't help but feel that they have contributed to a most successful Army Polo Season. Let us keep up the good work. 549
