Sportsmen tell us that the game of polo, long a prime favorite in the east, is to sweep the country next year. Omaha has preceded other parts of the west in adopting the game enthusiastically this fall. As proof, the camera has caught these pictures of so ciety folk, who are taking an active interest, in the game. The Misses Dorothy Cav anaugh, Lillian Head, Cathe rine Goss, and Winifred Smith, were snapped at an exciting moment last Sunday when they were watching a match from a vantage point on Mr. Jack Squires’ car. During the morning almost 100 cars stopped at the field to see a chukker or two. Among the spectators Miss . Gsrtrude Stout and Ftank 1 Witwer of Cedar Rapids, brother of Mrs. Henry Luber ger of this city were seen as they stopped after a morning canter to watch the players. Army teams visiting during Ak Sar-Ben festivities gavs added • Im petus to the rise of polo here, and now civilian teams are being organ ized. The credit is largely due Col. • L!. C. Halstead of Fort Omaha who, an expert himself, has been coaching the military 'teams, and has kindly rendered the same service to civilians. The latter, with E. John Brandeis as captain, are playing every Saturday and Sunday. Great promise with the mallet is shown in the playing of some of tho Omaha men, among them, Dr. Bay H.vrne. Jack Squires, George Stocking, K. John Brandeis, Stewart Summers, and Dr. H. M. Fitzgibbons. Girls are also taking up the sport, among them those in the picture, and the Mis3es Elizabeth and Corrtne Elliott, Evelyn Cole, and Dorothy Dahlman. Many Affairs Planned for Mrs. Peek. Mrs. C. C.

She is fair, and he has the dark hair and eyes that go with the Irish of his nick name. *-,* HE IS a nvxlern l.ochlnv»r. ardent in love and gallant in war. the war of football.
