Washington, B.C. is a blasé and socially jaded city where almost anything can happen without drawing a crowd. But even Washingtonians were impressed one blazing afternoon last week by a pastoral scene near suburban Olney, across the District line in Maryland. The throb of hooves on turf, the click of mallets on willow root balls, and the clink of ice in highball glasses were enough to identify the occasion as a polo match, but the diplomatic license tags and the Caddies and Jags that outlined the field indicated that it was of more than passing interest.

Concluded Nichols: "Davy Crockett is the epitome of a man who can lick any problem with his wits and his own two hands." In the spring of 1955 the U.S. people were confident...
...Department of Athletics, under lock and key, rests an infamous roulette wheel which Tom Bolles & Co. twirl three times a year. Some midnight last December, while the windows were frosted and baseball bats locked in their rack, the black and red went spinning. A gleeful smile, a click, click, click, and six Christmas presents to six varsity coaches...
