Greek Splasheis Trek to the Y for Second Annual Water Polo Tourney "Ready?" Evidently everyone Is, for there, are no statements to the contrary, A whistle screams, a partially in flated ball strikes water, twelve men plunge, fall, and Bllde Into the "Y pool, and the Inter-rraterniiy water polo tournament Is ou. Since the twelve men, divided Into two equal groups as to num bers, of course entered the water from opposite sides of the pool, and since their only objec t In life seems to be to get the ball, or drown the fellow who has It, there Is considerable activity. Object of Gams Tbe object of the game, accord Ing to the rules is to cause the ball to touch the opponents' goal, an upright board placed at ho edge of the pool at the end the oppo nents are defending. If the player bas the bsll In his hands when he establishes contact, he scores five points. If he throws the ball, he scores three. And he must throw from outside a line flftot n feet from the goal. Furthermore, although It seems strange, it Is possible to make a foul.
