Little Mountains, Eastman, Va. May 13-For the benefit Of those unfortunates who did not read my essay of yesterday I am here 1n Virginia practicing fox-hunt1ng because in October plan to become a member of the Bushwillow Hunt and Ride to Hounds.
 Frankly, I would prefer to ride on HOUNDS, not to them. Be- cause I rode a horse for the first time today and sincerely hope the horse is not here to stay. As a means of transportation the horse is plumb awful. In the first place he is not comfortable. If railroads airplanes or buses put in seats that felt the same way a horse does, the roads would be filled with pedes- trains. Now know very little about horse makeup, but horse was bone, running from his tail to his collar button that, when sat upon gives the same general effect as Straddling a medium priced razor blade.
 Variety
 A razor blade would be prefer able, in fact. Because a razor blade doesn't move, and horse does. The horse I rode had three gaits. His owner said they were walk, trot and canter. Those are the technical terms for rough, hell, and high water.
 Another draw back of the horse is that he gives no warning as to what he plans to do. l mounted my horse today and he immediately turned his head and took my foot in his mouth. I just as immediately jumped off and climbed fence. The groom laughed and said for me to get back on-that the horse was only playing.
 "He won't hurt you," the groom said.
 So I climbed back on the thing and moved down the road.
 We had gone no more than a hundred yards when Arrow-thats his name, but it really should have been mine, because was the one who eventually was shot off into the air, to land I know not where saw bush that he wanted to eat. l had been told not to let him eat bushes-to exercise my will and keep him in the middle of the road
 So when he headed for the bush I yanked him the other way and pulled up his head. That made him sore as the devil. He stopped dead still, threw his ears into reverse twitched his entire hide with one twitch, and and started beating his head up and down. "Okay," I said little bit alarmed at what might happen iw I denied his passion for the bush, "I1l let you have one mouthful and no more"
 That was a fatal mistake on my

 With Edgar Mohler, Sonny Brown, sophomore catcher; Hauze, Frank Barrett, and Walter Shinn hitting the ball opportunely and with Rusznak, Brickley, Jeffers and Conway pitching improved ball, the Red and Blue expects to finish high in the final league standings.

TRIO NJ. ATHLETIC STARS
 DEFY BOOK RULE
Hauze, Gisburne and Max. silk to Graduate With :: 70
 Good Marks

Philadelphia, May 13 - Three members of this years graduating class at the University of Pennsyl- vania have given their answer to the oft repeated cry that scholar ship and athletics do not mix by maintaining Q high average in the class room and at the same time, winning varsity awards in three dif- ferent sports.
 James Hauze, of Allentown, Pa; Gene Gisburne, of East Orange, N. J., and Sol Maksik, of Woodmere, N. Y, will graduate next month as the outstanding all-around athletes in the University, and with averag- es that are better than average.
 StandOutS
 Three letter athletes are rarity in most colleges and when one does come along he is singled out from among his fellow students as an in- dividual of considerable prowess in the field of sport.
 To have three athletes in one class capable of maintaining their scholastic work and at the same. time earn three letters in differentf sports is to say the least, unusual.
 Hauze and Gisburne will be the possessors of nine varsity awards. and Maksik, of seven, when they receive their diplomas. The first. named was the star center of the football team for three seasons, played as guard and forward on three basketball teams, two of which won championships, and played one year as a catcher, a second as a shortstop and is now playing second base, on the baseball team.
 Gisburne's record is like Hauze's an exceptional one because he mov- ed from one sport to another from September until late May. For three seasons Gene was tackle on { the varsity football team, 8 broken leg in his junior year failing to : retard his athletic progress; an 7 Eastern intercollegiate champion in : the fifty yard sprint in swimming and brilliant performer in la crosse. During the past swimming season Gisburne lost only one fif- ty yard dash and that to a team mate when he slipped and fell at the start of the race. He scored in the national championships in both the fifty and the hundred.
 Maksik is one of the outstanding boxers developed at Pennsylvania in many years. He was undefeated as sophomore, lost one bout as a junior and did not lose any last season, until the Intercollegiate championships, when he lost de- cision to the ultimate title-holder. :.
 In addition to his boxing, Mak- six for two seasons won awards as a junior varsity football player, and last season, won his varsity award as a substitute halfback. During three seasons Maksik has been one of the most aggressive players on the lacrosse team.
 Hauze, Gisburne and Maksik join such all around stars of the past at Pennsylvania as J. Howard Berry Req McGraw, Poss Miller, Daniel A McNichol, Donald Kellett and Rob- ert Freeman.

Banks within the Federal Re.
serve System will withdraw more
than $75o,O0O,OO0 from their sur
plus cash reserves tomorrow, as
part of the Administrators pro-
gram to prevent injurious expan-

sources.
Conforming with the Federal
Reserve Boards order of last jan

banks must keep as reserve against
deposits, the systems member in
situations will reduce their excess
money stocks from $3.50, 900, 900
to approximately $3.50, 1000, 900.
Tomorrow's reduction in excess
reserves marks the third time
since last August that such action
has been taken as a safeguard
against credit initiation.
Concerned over the huge res
ervoir of idle cash in bank vaults,
that could be used by banks for
improper credit extension, the
board hiked reserve requirements
SO per cent in August.
In January, as surplus funds
again rose to dangerous levels, as
a result of heavy gold movements
from abroad, the board ordered
another boost of 80 1-3 per cent
in the amount that must be kept
as reserve for deposits.
Half of the latter increase be-
came effective March l, while the
remaining Is 2/3 per cent rise
was fixed for the close of business

Unless Congress grants further
authorization, the board cannot
order any additional increases in
reserve requirements and board

testimony that Brig. Gen. H. H.

Major Seth Wizard, Washington,

that, in his opinion, the bullet
which killed Mrs. Verna Carr

the suicide contention.
The carcass of hog was
