BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR.
THERE are rumors affoat of
foul play in the Middleburg
point-to-point races last week
Il Those who remember how
mary riders finished with bloody
noses, black eyes and gouged cheeks
naturally will presume Immediately
that the dirty deeds were done with
graphing hooks, concealed beneath
the saddles of some of the more en-
terprising horsemen.
The fact is, according to our in
formantS, all this blood and violence
was thought up by the inventive
young ladies Of Foxcroft School Not
participating in the races, probably
as a matter of safe practice, they
decided at least they could stir up a
bit of spectators sport for themselves.
The racing horses had to come around
by the Spur and Spoon Club near
Foxcroft. Quite a few of the old
hands who knew the country had
plotted to ride through certain gates
after passing the club point.
When they arrived at the
gates, they found large, whole
some padlocks attached thereto.
Let 'em jump" the fair ladies of
Foxcroft had said, and by lock and
key ruled out the tame business of
cantering through an open gateway.
Jump the horses did, taking a
slightly different route and, as I un-
derstand it, later encountering the
orchard where all the black eyes and
bruised faces developed, brought on
by low-hanging limbs.
The Foxcroft gels will, of course,
deny they had anything to do with
the mystery of the padlocks. They
will throw it off on the shoulders Of
the c. I. o., plotting to encourage a
sit-down strike among race horses
compelled to work long hours in cross
country sport.
Maybe they are right, and
even innocent, but that was not
the way 1t was told to us by
gentleman whose face was
ripped.

the opinion that the entire scheme was
manufactured by certain group of

nothing is more fun than watching
horses run over jumps.
Gates, phooey.
WHILE they are both we'll in the

you that the Riding and Hunt Club
hunter trials will be the big feature
of the local horse program on April
10, and that the Stuyvesant School
has planned the most elaborate horse
show of its career to be held the day
before the Virginia Gold Cup race
meeting.
Riding and Hunts program
reflects the splendid efforts made
by that organization to en-
courage young folk in learning
the arts Of fox hunting and
cross country riding.
This year for the first time a Junior
plate is being presented by Mrs. L.
T. Hundt for boys and girls who have
not yet attained their 18th birth
day, and representative entry is
expected from the members of the
Junior Hunt organized this past
season.
The remainder of the bill of fare
that day is traditionally well known
the class for Riding and Hunt Club
horses, the open hunters, the pair
and team classes and the masters
plate. Conditions are similar to those
set forth in past years, and the
course will again be laid out over the
rolling terrain Of Bradley Farms.
Stuyvesant's program on April 80
will include Is classes many of them
restricted to the boys in the school,
others open only to the alumni, who
always return in full force to attend
this meeting, and others open to the
general field Of horse show horses and

Alert Changes.
I'M ESPECIALLY interested in
changes affecting accidental for
ward passes and those ruinous long
penalties
ponents like Coach Andy Kerr, of Col
gate, have hammered at the present
rule on accidental forwards. You've
seen repeated instances.
A team completes a 15-yard for
ward, the receiver runs 5 more. Then,
about to be tackled, he tries a smart
moVe-a lateral to a teammate-but
1t goes slightly forward.
What happens? The entire legiti-
mate gain of 20 yards is wiped out
the ball returned to the spot of the
previous down and the team has lost
down. In effect, the penalty here
for forward pass thrown beyond
the line of scrimmage is 20 yards, not
Is, as the rules say
The school federation solves this
with a 5-yard penalty from the spot
of the illegal forward, thus netting the
team in the case mentioned Is yards,
and, by exception, charge Of one
down, of course.
10 even situations where an illegal
forward is thrown by the team which
did not put the ball in play originally,
as example, it intercepts pass and
tries to lateral, the penalty is also S
yards from the spot of illegal forward.
Another Situation.
NOW, longer penalties Say Team
A, on defense at its 20-yard line,
holds. This penalty, IS yards, puts the
ball on AS 5-yard line. But a dis
qualifying penalty for a much more
serious offense, slugging, ETC., is only
half the distance to the goal line, or,
in this case, the l0-yard line.
OF course, this major penalty costs
a team player, but otherwise it's
milder than the so-called minor pen
atty.
The federation rules that the pen
atty shall not be more than half the
distance to the goal line, or, in this
case, an actual loss of 10 yards to the
10-yard line.
can't believe this sensible solution
will encourage holding. On the other
hand, referees will feel freer to call
holding without mourning the howl
of giving a team a touchdown"
Just how this will all work out with
two sets of school rules, particularly
where teams from the different juris-
dictions meet, don't know I hope
uniformity will come again, but don't
ask me to be the man to say which
code should be used
