...last-chukker onslaught, resulting in four quick goals, brought victory to the Harvard polo team in a spirited game with the Princeton trio Saturday night on the Commonwealth Armory tanbark. It was no last minute frenzied rally, but a cool, calculated offensive, led by W. S. Luton '33, who scored the four winning tallies which brought the 10 to 7 1-2 victory to the Crimson...

Harvard scored on Luton's close range drive in the next period, but the fourth chukker saw it powerless before a volley of fast drives from Clark and his teammates. Captain Roland Mangini of the Cavalry was the star of this phase of the game, netting two quick goals. Cooke's tally in the last stanza and a steaming shot for goal...
