NEW YORK, November 13-The
battle of the blues, which is the title
bestowed upon the fifty-first National
Horse Show for more reasons than
meet the eye, entered its final engage
men in Madison Square Garden today.
Two Southern exhibitors were dead
locked after yesterdays session in the
race for the most blue ribbons in the
show. which another barn from below
the Mason-Dixon Line was in third
place. making it clear that the North's
greatest show is going TO be carried
home in baskets by the rebels.
Another angle on the blues. too, was
the fierce competition between the
hard-riding officers of the American
Army and the even harder riding off,
GERS from Chile.
The native horsemen appear In uni
forms of deep blue decorated with
gold braid and other appropriate trap
pings, and the Chileans also get them
selves up in colorful garb of lighter
shade. which any one who dared might
label baby-blue.
These two teams have been at each
others throats since the word go" in
international military jumping, and
while the Americans have come of
best at every turn to date. their VIC
tories have been clinched by uncom-
fortably small margins.
TINE leading civilian winners up to
and including last night were
Judy King of Atlanta. Ga, and
the Spindletop Stable Of Mrs. M. F.
Yount, who lives in Beaumont. Tex.
Miss King exhibits her own harness
horses up here, only occasionally sur
rendering the reins to her veteran
manager. Patrick O'Connell. The
Yount aggregation consists principally
Of three and five gated saddle horses.
Mrs John Hay Whitney of Upper
willie. Va, is holding third honors with
the triumphs piled up by her string of
hunters.
This situation, of course. leads to no
little internecine vendetta. with the
saddle-horse people, the harness-horse
people and the foxhunters speaking
only to themselves and the enclosure
deities, who are the judges.
Miss King was not on the preferred
list until yesterday, when she sud-
denly made a cleanup in three har-
ness classes and brought her total
accumulation of blues to nine. Mean
while. Mrs. Yount's handsome Beau
Peavine. a hashy five-gaited saddler
that since the first day has been
burning up the ring and the hearts of
those who admire waterfall tails, got
himself declared the champion Of that
breed. thereby tying the score Of the
two lady warriors.
Mrs. Whitney. possessed Of seven
blues when the Saturday night pro-
gram ended, was not able to improve
her standing Sunday or yesterday. On
the former day, there were no hunter
classes. Yesterday she rated nothing
better than a red ribbon, which is
very pretty, but will not get chalked
up in the box score. She has a chance
however, of taking it all in the blue

scored a terrible SO on the first nine.
and then completely reversed her first
nine form by shooting brilliant 38
over the last half for a go.
Miss Amory won first gross prize,
while second gross went to Mrs. Neck
ley. Third gross was awarded to Mrs.
Leo Walper of Kenwood with a card
OF SO. while Mrs. Betty Mackenzie Of
Congressional won fourth gross award
with an even 100.
Mrs. w. C. Goodwin. the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club title
holder, annexed the net award with
a card of 95-l7-78. She played a
smart game, taking a fur coat along
with her, which she doffed while
making her shots. Mrs william M.
Smith, sponsor Of the tourney, won
the prize for the lowest number of
puts, but awarded it to DARCY
Banagan, who aided her in running the
tourney. At the end most Of the
women decided they would rather buy
their turkeys than win 'em on day
like yesterday.

One thing the newspaper men who
covered the short championship high
school foot ball series this year were
thankful for and that was the thought
fulness of Jack Collins, president and
treasurer of the Interhigh Athletic
Association, in seeing to it that some
one from each school was stationed
at the press table to keep the scribes
informed as to the names of substi-
tutes and furnish other data on the
players. Hap Hardell claims he
deserves a medal or sumpin' for the
many players he's furnished other
high schools of the city. He points
to Mandes and Walker on the Central
squad, Krouse at Western, Shaw at
Eastern and Witt at Roosevelt.
Hardell, by the way, figures bright

ball. He points out that youngsters
are taking up the game seriously al

TECH HIGHS foot ball team
reluctantly has ended its sea-
son and it is an open secret
that the Mckinley contingent
is pretty sore about the public high
school championship series being
stopped when it all but had the title
in the bag. All Tech had to do to
clinch the bunting was to trim Roose-
welt today, something considered easy
for it.
The gridders who wear the gray
didn't relish giving up the champion
ship last year after winning it five
years in a row. They had every hope
of getting back on top this year and
doubtless would, had the series been
finished.
And it makes Tech supporters feel
no better when they begin to figure
on their chances for winning the gon-
falon next season. A flock of highly
capable players are listed to graduate
before another campaign rolls around,
including Alley and Heatwole, back
field stars, and Emmerich, Geiger,
Dietrich, DAILY, Mclean and Adrian
Smith, capable forwards.

resolution yesterday by the Executive

Here's the resolution:
Whereas, the school officials of

and
Whereas, Mckinley Technical
High School was the potential cham
pion, requiring only one victory to
clinch the series; and
Whereas, the gridiron champion

Far Side Just as Good.

IMAGINE John Duffer coming to
the eighth hole at Columbia. He
played the hole with No 2 iron
back in August, and he thinks that
is his club; that he should continue
to play it with a 2 iron all the time.
He hits the ball and hits It well
and it drops 80 yards short Of the
green and rolls perhaps yards.
Instead of an approach putt, he
has a short pitch. or a chip. and
he gets 4 instead of a par 8, be-
cause he didn't put his pride in his
pocket and take a wooden club which
would get him there. Or he didn't
think about it at all.
Golf is a thinking game. Condi-
tione change from day to day and
from hour to hour. Take the club
that will get you there at all times,
and remember. it is just as easy to
play from the far side of the hole
as it is to play from the near side.
Evening star., 1934-11-13
Better to Overreach.

TINE percentage OF golfers VINO hit
all their shots right is very, very
small Even the best play
ers do not hit all their shots in the
way they want. The leading pros of
the world miss few shots each round,
so what must be the percentage OF
missed shots among the common or
garden variety of golfer. the man who
is consistently short with his iron
clubs?
So the better way to play Is TO
take club which probably will over
reach the hole and hit it a little
easier. instead of failing away with
a club which will just reach II the
shot is hit perfectly.
Nowadays a golf ball does not fy
as far as it did back in the Summer.
Just what it is We do not know.
Probably heavy air, thick with mois-
ture. and a cold ball have something
to DO with it, But there isn't any
question that the ball does not carry
as far.
And Furthermore, the fairwavs
usually are drying out after a night
Of frost and the ball doesn't get
the run it did back in the good old
Summer time.
