WHEN the Varsity polo team made its Chicago debut last weekend it was to defeat the Fort Sheridan riders 6-5 1/2 in a game which was touch-and-go until the final whistle. Before a crowd of 11,000 spectators the Harvard trio, Towny Winmill, Hen Gerry, and Captain Tommy Davis demonstrated that they had the winning combination...
