...Optimists' polo team proved too much for the Crimson horsemen at the Commonwealth Armory Saturday night, riding to a 7 1-2 to 6 victory. In the first half minute of play in the opening chukker R. B. Burnett '28 made a spectacular score, and later in the game F. A. Clark '29 added two more goals, but the Crimson team was penalized three goals by reason of six fouls. The Harvard team was given a six goal handicap next week...

The book reproduces many of Artist Beardsley's works; the most spectacular, perhaps, is a drawing of a flamboyant lady, leading on a ribbon her meagre, birdfaced, pantalooned monkey...
