New York, June 1, 1926.--Yale, Harvard and Princeton are the first three colleges to enter for the Intercollegiate Polo Championship of 1926 one of the youngest but at the same time one of the liveliest of intercollegiate titles. Their entries were received here tonight in a group, and others are expected shortly.

The tourney is expected to take place at the Westchester Biltmore Country Club beginning on June 19 and lasting until June 26. West Point, Pennsylvania Military Academy and Columbia are expected to enter teams for the title, to compete with the Big Three fours, and the entry of a western college team is still more than a possibility.

Yale, winner of the national intercollegiate title in 1923, the first year in which the tournament was held, has by its indoor showing more than justified the confidence expressed by partisans of the Blue. The Orange and Black, which pulled a surprise in 1924 by carrying the trophy back to New Jersey, is building a now team and the Harvard quartet is always stronger on turf than on tanbark. Winners last year, the Crimson poloists will return to the Westchester-Biltmore Country Club this month favored to furnish heavy opposition. A bye has been drawn by the Cambridge outfit in the first round, leaving Princeton as its most likely opponent before the final round.
