Polo Wife

Danger makes life exciting. Aware of this, polo-players, who might not find it elsewhere, enjoy a spice of danger in their favorite game. But what about polo-players' wives, who understand the danger but cannot enjoy it? One such wife wrote a letter to Polo (monthly) suggesting a new rule: if a player, four minutes after a fall, is still unable to mount, he should be disqualified for the rest of the game.

Said the letter, published in Polo's current issue: "There is no protection for the injured player, and nowadays it is made a point of honor with a player that he continue to play if he can possibly remount his horse. This is typically a man's attitude . . . and I do not hesitate to point out that it is silly. . . .
