...Crimson indoor polo trio strengthened by the return of F. D. Stranahan '26, veteran number one whose absence from the lineup in the Norwich defeat last week was noticeable, will meet one of the hardest tests of the season when it rides into action against the 101st Field Artillery's veteran three in the Commonwealth Armory next Saturday night.
