...Burnett To Play Against Tigers...
...line-up of the title holders for the first match on Saturday against the Princeton riders, will be the same that defeated Dedham and which dropped two close decisions to the Myopia four last week. R. B. Burnett '28 at number one will be the only member of the Harvard quartet who was not a member of the team which captured the college title a year ago. Holden White '28, who occupied Burnett's berth last year, will be unable to compete in the first game, although it is probable that he will be back at his old position during...

In the fourth chukker the University captain cut loose with the most spectacular shot of the game when he scored unassisted from far down the field. Alexander Shaw '28 at number one and R. B. Burnett '27, number three turned in brilliant exhibitions of polo and aided largely in the Crimson point gathering. For the losers J. Dudley Clark, father of the Crimson Freshman polo player, was the outstanding star. The teams played eight chukkers of seven and one half minutes each...
