Jousting Contest Won
BY Tobacco Farmer, 48

A. Douglas Parran, a 48-year-
old Maryland tobacco farmer,
yesterday won the annual
Marshall Hall jousting contest.
This may not strike you as
much of an accomplishment.
Actually. victory required an
unerring eye, strong arm, plenty
of practice and perseverance.
Mr.. Parran, of Prince Frederick,
was steady as q rock.
Jousting contests have been
going on in Charles County, Md,
since 1865. according to local
historians. The event is a
throwback from days of old
when knights put on heavy ar
NOR plate and were hoisted
aboard a horse to go full tilt
against an adversary. The idea
was to impale the foe, tinplate
and all, on the end of the lance.
The sport as practiced by es-
tate owners, farmers and horse
lovers in Maryland is somewhat
refined-and more, difficult.
Small Ring Is Target
The idea is for the contestant
to travel 80 yards, lance afore.
Suspended from three arches on
the course are rings about the
size of the kind you see at
tached to window blinds. AS the
rider goes down the course, he
seeks to put the tip of his lance
through the small hole. The
horsemen are not allowed to poke
along. They must run the course
in 10 seconds.
A rider returning with three
rings on the tip of his lance is
saluted with a tune from a
Itmee-piece band on the judges
stand. And each rider is started
down the course with a COM
mand of "Charge, sir knight, ~
and an accompanying trumpet
flourish.
The tournament this year at
tracted about SO riders, both
young and old. One contestant,
Bernard Gosnell of Reistertown,
Md, is 81. He's been jousting
for 40 years. =.
One JOusts at is
Another contestant, Fowler
Earnshaw of Brandywine, Md,
is only 16 and has been jousting
since he was 10.
Two of the odds-on favorites
this year ended up as also-rans
They are Miss Mary Lou Bar
