Polo's Big Moment comes once every three years, when a squat silver mug with little horses and men springing out of its base stands gleaming on a table in front of the bright blue West Stand at Meadow Brook, gleaming as the emblem of victory for the International teams galloping up and down the broad stretch of turf, and as the central sparkle in one of the country's finest sporting panoramas. Custom dictates that the cup shall be at the field after one team has won one game. The score of the first game...

...warm roadside sand. Others have suggested that they find food thrown out by motorists. Best explanation may be that they, like many other animals, are attracted by the lights of passing cars. The glare blinds them. They either race in front of the automobile or squat down in the highway. Although New York's wild rabbit death rate is as high as New Jersey's, New York plans this year to stock only with snow-shoe rabbits, which go to the mountain districts...

...would swing a left into the ribs of Otto Von Porat, lantern-jawed Norwegian, and as Von Porat's head came down it would meet a right hand whisking up. Bettors who had figured that the Norwegian had two chances of landing the best punches for every chance squat Uzcudun had of staying away from them, cheered when, in the first round, Uzcudun spread his legs to keep from falling.

...kind of stuff that was on Southern California's schedule. So figured Californians, more confident than ever when they felt the blaze of sunlight in the Rose Bowl. Every seat had been said for weeks. A whistle pricked the piled heat, and a minute later trim, curly-haired, squat Toby Uansa of Pittsburgh jumped through left tackle, snaked 68 yards.

...world growing yearly more democratic, on the threshold of a great naval disarmament conference, new editions of the intransigeant annuals of blue bloods and battleships came last week from their respective publishers: the squat red Almanach de Gotha and long blue Jane's Fighting Ships. In recent years, editing the 167-year-old Almanach de Gotha, "genealogical, diplomatic and statistical annual," has been no mean task. Bound by tradition to list only the members of regal, princely and ducal families, the genteel editors have been obliged by a shortage of European aristocracy to fill their sedate pages with such...
