Star Poloist Out of Play By UnitfH Press WESTBURY. N. Y„ Sept. 19. Loss of Alfredo Harrington, regular No. 1, today weakened Argentina’s San Paula polo team for its match with the Anglo-America Hurricanes in the final contest of the 1931 national open polo championship. Harrington, who has been playing good polo for ten years, was thrown from a pony and injured severely Friday. With Harrington in the hospital and Captain Manuel Andrada still handicapped by an injured mallet hand, the invaders are conceded little chance to defeat the title-defending Hurricanes.

26-Year-Old Ohio Ace and 22-Year-Old New York Youth in First Year as Money Players, Survive Field of Champions in Tourney. By I niter! Press WANNAMOISETT COUNTRY CLUB, Rumford, R. 1,. Sept. 19. Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Gene Sarazen. Billy Burke and all the I other “favorites’*- to win the 1931 Professional Golfers Association cham- ! pionship were spectators today as two youthful competitors who were given little consideration in pretourney forecasts met in the final thirty-six-hole match for the championship. The rival players, 26-year-old Densmore Shute of Columbus, 0., and *2l-year-old Tcmy Creavy of Albany, N. Y., are the youngest golfers ever to meet in the finals of the P. G. A. tourney, regarded generally as golfdom s mast difficult test. Shute, who turned professional four years ago, was a candidate for the 1931 Ryder cup team, a dangerous competitor in the national open and also has captured several big tournaments. He never has cut much of a figure in the P. G. A., although he has won a match or two in previous years.
Creavy, who will not be 22 until February, never was able to qualify for the P. G. A. until this year, although he attempted the feat in 1929 and 1930. He defeated Johnny Farrell in the Metropolitan P. G. A. three years ago, but was eliminated in the second round by Gene Sarazen. He first became a full-fledged professional this year and now is in a fair way to become professional champion of the United States. The tall young Albany player earned his berth in the finals Friday by avenging his 1928 defeat by Gene Sarazen. Rated as no better than a 4-to-l shot against the vetteran tourney medalist, who also is a former national open champion, and two-time P. G. A. ruler, Creavy gained a three-hole lead with a par 70 for his morning round and never gave Sarazen an opportunity to overcome this advantage, winning 5 and 3. Shute had a more difficult match, going the entire thirty-six holes before he eliminated Billy Burke, 1931 national open champion, 1 up. The match was a tossup all the way, with Shute gaining the upper hand in the closing stages.

Minnesota Title Hopes High; Line Averages 205 Pounds
(Editor’s Note: Foliownig Is the fifth of a series on Big Ten football prospects.) Bl r GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 19.—The outlook for a winning team at Minnesota is considerably brighter than at this time a year ago. The Gophers started out last year with anew coaching staff from top to bottom and with most of the stars from the 1929 team absent. Coach Crisler and his assistant, Tad Wieman, former Michigan coach, had to build anew line and get their style of play installed. Asa result, Minnesota won only one Conference game. Minnesota promises to stage a strong comeback this year and here’s the reason why: Seventeen letter men back. Veteran line and promising sophomores to round out back field. Familiarity with Crisler’s system. The key man in Minnesota’s outlook seems to be Myron Übl, famous as a Minneapolis high school star. He can run, kick and pass. He weighs 175 pounds and is 6 feet tall. Minnesota's line from tackle to tackle will average 205 pounds if veterans hold their jobs. Stein at center weighs 194. Captain Clarence Munn and Bob Reihson, the two guards, weigh 214 and 196, respectively. Pat Boland, 217, and Marshall Wells, 204, are the leading tackles. Munn, who was an all-conference guard
