HEADS EVENTS
400 Entries Compete
At MeadoWbrO0k
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEHL

When Boots and Saddles"
sounds over the Meadowbrook
Saddle Club on the East-West
Highway this afternoon at LAS
o'clock, calling the contestants in
the Inter-American Horse Show to
the ring, the finest and most spec
tacular competition of its kind
ever held in washington will start.
Nearly 400 entries, drawn from
approximately 100 in divid dua l
horses will compete for the rib
bon and plate that go to the win
ners. Arthur S. Maui, director of
the National Horse Show in Madi-
son Square Garden, is the author
ity for the statement that in many
of its aspects, the Inter-American
show excelS the Gotham extrava-
ganza.
All of the color and glory, all of
the pomp and panoply of scenes
where King Horse reignS for his
day will mark the opening of this
entrancing spectacle. AS the bugle
call sounds through the mild Octo-
ber air, the United States Army
Band of Fort Myer will march into
the ring. Behind them in the
uniform Of our friendly neighbors
from Latin-America, will come the
riders of Chile and Mexico. And
riding with them will be Uncle
Sans own nephews in olive drab.
EQUINE ARIsTOCRACY
Filling the ranks and gracing
the occasion with their presence,
the civilian exhibitors will ride
into the ring on horses whose
names and records are household
words where equine aristocracy is
recognized.
Most colorful of the events, of
course, will be the international
military team contests. with the

Softly chanting en- d earin g
phrases at every jump, he finally
let out a loud plea as Annibal
with Regan Mckinney up, began
to make his move.
After following the pace for the
first mile anG one-half, the iron

The emphasis was strongly
placed on waiting"
Annibal responded as if he
recognized the voice and sensing
in beautiful style, hurried home,
as asked.

campaign comes to an end.
Meade, who was rendered hors
de combat in the battle at State
College with Penn State three
weeks ago when he cracked a bone
in his right ankle. will have the
cast removed from his foot Mon
day, it was learned today.
Should the jarring Terp half
back find no i'll effects from the
injury, and pass upon a thorough
examination by the doctors, he
may be available for the all-im-
portant struggle with Georgetown
University in Byrd Stadium, Sat
urday afternoon, October 10.
ALL PROBLEMATICAL
All this is problematical, and at
the same time, not only the doc
tors, but Coach Frank DobSon as
we'll must be completely assured
that the youngster is definitely
able to play again without serious
consequences.
NOdCI1 OOhoOLl, C1ANCL A1O I'll ICuA1A-
stances, will permit Jim to don a
uniform and work out with the
Maryland squad unless he's fully
convinced that the ace halfback's S
serious injury has completely
healed.
At first it was believed that
Meade would be out for the sea
son, with the cast remaining on
the injured foot for at least seven
weeks. Jim told the writer last
night that after the first few days
his foot failed to bother him.
Jim wants to continue to play
football. He loves the game and
plays it for fun. That is what has
stamped him as a great football
player. And these are the same
attributes that made Tuffy Lee
mans a great ballplayer.
BANS TAKING CHANCES
The Terp halfback will exer
else his foot with care during the
next week or ten days. During
this time Coach Dobson will ex

LIFE OF KILLER

HUNTSVILLE, Tex, April 30

within a week John Vaughn this
morning began a new day he
never expected to see.
The condemned killer was
given a 24-hour reprieve by Gov
ernor Alfred 20 minutes before
his scheduled execution last
night. A week ago Vaughn was
saved twice when the electric gen.
orator broke down as he was
sitting in the electric chair.
The delay last night was
granted because Of a temporary
injunction, issued late yesterday,
on the ground the governor had
no legal right to grant the weeks
stay after the generator break
down.
1t was also stated Vaughn had
been subjected to cruel and in
human treatment by being twice
for execution.

preacher who killed his sister-in-

cuted Immediately after Vaughn
when the generator stopped, was
likewise given a weeks reprieve.
