The 15th-19th King's Royal Hus- rs beat the 5th Royal Inniskilling Pragoon Guards by six goals to two in a second round tie of the Inter-Regimental Tournament at Hurlingham recently, says The Times.

However, it is unreasonable to ask a team to do more than win matches, and the 15th may well have something in hand. Mr. Taylor again caught the eye at No. 1. and Major Hinde, kept the side well together.

The Inniskillings are clearly missing Captain Ansell this season. and never really got going. They were not so well mounted as the 15th, both as regards the speed and handiness of their ponies, and they would probably have done much better after one or two more games on London grounds.

Captain Sangster played a steady game at back, and it was largely due to him that the score of the 15th was not considerably greater.

The 15th made a flying start and scored through Mr. Dorrien-Smith in the Arst chukka, but after that neither side could get going. "and there was no further score.

LONGER DRIVE WITH STREAMLINED CLUBS

Something new in stream- line speed was introduced in a recent session of the Ameri- can Physleal Society when S. J. Crooker of Purcellville, Va. told of wind-tunnel tests on golf clubs.

. It develops that powerful golfers swing their clubs as fast as 125 miles per hour at the crucial mement of contact. Using the formula for comput- ing resistance of airship hulls,, Mr. Crooker finds the tradi- Lional style tolf club "heads have 15 times more air resist- ance than streamlined ones.

Analyses checked' by tests, prove the low-resistance club- increases the distance travel- led by the golf ball in the air by 15 yards.

All of which means a golfer like Jimmy Thomson, using a streamlined club should attain a carry of 275 yards.
