...From the fourth chukker on, they peppered the Greentree goal-Mike Phipps scoring six times, Cecil Smith eight, Stewart Iglehart two-in a display of well-balanced polo that has seldom been matched anywhere. Greentree, conspicuously outmounted but making exciting play of it until the final gong, scored only seven goals. Experts wondered whether, in the rich kingdom of polo, the great Tommy Hitchcock might soon be dethroned...

Nobody wants any commercial time after 11 p.m. Therefore, big shows are likely to be in the market mainly for network between 8 p.m. and 11 (E. S. T.).
