Telling Points in
Jumping Test
Elizabeth Marsh Scores
In Good Hands Event;
Meet Well Attended

Winning over their main rivals in
q keenly contested team jumping
test and capturing three additional
blue ribbons, Landon School horse
men nosed out Alice Deal Junior
High for top honors in the Landon
Junior horse show yesterday.
Oddly enough it was the host
schools second team, performing
in almost f1awless fashion, which
won the team jumping to clinch the
championship. Bob Hanson, Billy
Patch, Ned Murdock and Cary Jack
son comprised the victorious quartet,
negotiating the trying 8-jump course
with only two minor faults charged
against them.
McDonogh School Third.
The final point score showed 18
for Landon and Is for Alice Deal.
McDonogh School of Baltimore
entered a strong team, but the
best it could get was third place
with IL points. Mount Vernon
Seminary, Notre Dame Academy
and Blessed Sacrament School
finished in a stalemate with three
points each.
The schools fourth annual show
attracted 1873 entries in Is classes
and was we'll patronized.
Only one mishap marred the
afternoon performances, Comely
Anne Hughes coming to grief on the
first Jump of the junior hunter
class. She escaped serious injury,
however, and returned to compete
ton astride Head Rock to place
third in the A. S. P. c. A. good
hands event. The ribbon in the
latter event went to Elizabeth
Marsh, riding Gold Vein, whose all
around horsemanship was one of
the shows features.
Deal Loses on Minor Fault.
Alice Deals team of Mary Coffey
Elizabeth Marsh, Dean Rathbun,
tr., and Anne Hughes was extremely
close to Landon in team jumping,
missing a tie by minor fault. For
a time it appeared that the mixed
team, two of its members sporting
pigtalls, had tied the host quartet.
Bobby Lutbacker, riding Nancy
Steele, made one of two perfect
scores in the touch-and-out class
but got only second for his efforts
because he was jumping off with
young Rathbun for second place.
Rathbun, too, escaped without fault
on his second try Top honors went
to Florence Fitzgerald who nego-
tiated three jumps before missing
the first time around. All others
missed the difficult third barrier.
