PREP LEADER HURT.
Capt. Kerwin of Georgetown Colts
Injured in Scrimmage.

Quite jolt was received by the GEORGE
town prep foot ball team yesterday after
noon when their star fullback and captain.
Edward Kerwin, was injured so badly in
the scrimmage with the varsity that he
will probably be prevented from taking
part in the game against Western High
Friday. The lad was given a severe knock
on his knee early in the contest, but.
though it panied him greatly, he stuck to
his position and did some great work be-
fore another injury to the same member
forced him to withdraw later In the game.
Although his grit and good work called
forth much praise from the onlOokers and
was the cause Of his team scoring touch
down, it nevertheless proved costly to the
team, as the big fellow was forced to take
to the crutches last night, and from all
reports he will not be able to don his toys
for week at least.
His absence from the lineup will great
ly weaken the team. as none of his team
mates is of sufficient ability to fill his
place. 1t is likely that Miller, the ex-Ran-
dolph- Macon star, will be shifted from
tackle to full. the line position being given
to Maher This will greatly increase the
weight average of the back field, but as IT
will work havoc 10 the line 1t will not
only weaken the whole team, but Will also

proved the undoing of the varsity In the

TEACHING HORSES TO JUMP.

There Are Three Methods Ussd-coax.
ing, lunsing and Driving.
There are three methods of teaching
a horse to leap-coaxing. lunging aud
driving. In the coaxing method the
young horse is turned into a small
paddock having q low hedge or hurdle
across the center. In plain view Of
the pupil a rider on a veteran jumper
should take him over the hurdle sew
eral times.
The trainer then goes to the opposite
side with measure Of corn or oats
and calls the horse. shaking up the
grain and pouring it with his hand
back and forth in the receptacle. The
boundary will soon be cleared. and
when a few mouthfuls have been eat.
en- the station Of the instructor should
be Mt the other side Of the hurdle and
the lesson repeated. If this be done
daily the hurdle may be gradually
heightened.
The habit Of jumping is thus ac-
quired without those risks which at
tend a novel performance when q
heavy burden Expresses the strength
and whip and spur distract the at
tention. The horses body. says Coun-
try Life In America. is not partially
disabled by the imposition of a heavy
the utmost and his capabilities are un-
fettered.
The second method is termed lung
ing. A long rein or cord Is attached
to the bit, and the animal Is exercised
in a circle in which hurdle has been
placed or a shallow ditch dug. A long
dashed whip. used only to keep him
in motion or lightly applied at the
proper moment. will keep him up to
his work. Soon the horse will enter
into the spirit Of the occasion and by
unmistakable signs will manifest his
enthusiastic enjoyment Of the exercise
The third method, driving. Is exactly
what its name implies. At first the
obstruction should be slight. Any
open space will answer the purpose.
an earth or sod surface or tanbark
being preferable. Long reins. a
straight bar or snaffie bit. long whip
and patience and perseverance are re-
quired.
method is the quickest and surest way
of teaching the horse to leap. When
he has become somewhat proficient.
having thoroughly learned what is re-
quired Of him. the saddle may be
called into requisition and the prac-
teal lessons begun.
Almost any young horse can be
taught to leap. OF course his prof.

ed on his trimming and on his general
characteristics OF wind. limb and nerve.
