The Leningrad Philharmonic
Orchestra returned to Consti-
tuition Hall yesterday for its
second appearance this season,
and reinforced the excellent
impression it made when it
played here three weeks ago.
This time, competing with
their compatriots from the
Bolshoi Ballet (who were per-
forming simultaneously at the
Loew's Capitol and the wet,
blustery weather, the superb
orchestra was enjoyed by too
few people, although it must be
admitted that the audience
tried to make up in enthusiasm
what 1t lacked in numbers.
Once again, the Leningrad
obliged it's listeners with an
encore-an excerpt from Pro-
kofieff's Romeo and Juliet"
ballet-and through the concert
clearly demonstrated that it
merits the plaudits it has gained
during its current American
tour.
ProkOfieff Work
The big piece on the program
was the strident Third Sym
phony of Sergei Prokofieff, a.
work written in 1928 which
antedates the composers re-
turn to the Soviet Union by
some six years. It is far more
savage, nervous, and goth
century in feeling than the
music of his late Russian
period, when there was a
striking decrease in the ele-
ment Of grotesquerie so char
acteristic Of the pro-Soviet
Prokofieff and a just as strik-
ing increase in his preoccupa-
ton with lyricism.
Brass-centered, the Third
Symphony is an impersonal
piece, glittering and cold as
diamonds. 1t declaims a poetry
of cities, not of people.
After the intermiSsion, the
Leningrad made a rare excur-
sion into the American roper
tory, offering Samuel BARRIERS
first Essay for Orchestra, and
brought the concert to a rous-
ing conclusion with a magni-
ficent reading of the Tchai-
kovsky Francesca da Rimini
symphonic fantasy.
At the helm yesterday was
conductor Gennadi Rozhdest-
vensky, who handled the Or
chestra much differently than
did Eugen Mravinsky in the
first Leningrad concert here.
Group Responds
Mr.. Mravinsky is given to
hard, driving tempos. Since
the Leningraders are a virtuoso
group, they responded to his
demands with great ease, and
a sort Of bravura extravaganza
shone forth as a consequence.
Rozhdestvensky, on the other
hand, tends to let the orchestra
sing and relax. He achieves
excitement by highlighting the
brass section-which certainly
dominated the afternoons
music. AS a matter of fact.
there was perhaps too much
relaxation at times, especially
in the Barber piece. This is
generally taken at a brisker
clip than the Russians played
it, and is more effective at the
faster tempo.
But both men are first-rate
conductors, despite their tenn
peramental differences. Either
would be welcome with the
Leningrad next time it is heard
in the Nations Capital.

that meeting and his notices
caught the eye of Bruno Fer
rari, owner of a large racing
stable. who purchased Clark's
riding contract.
That was a big break for the
youngster as it took him to the
big Eastern tracks. Later in the
fall he won the Kentucky
Jockey Club Stakes with Fer
rari's Su Ka Wa.
Clark was doing well in
Florida this winter but he
headed North to protect his
valuable five-pound apprentice
weight concession.
Under Florida's racing rules,
he would have had to surren-
der his five-pound bug" al
lowance on the anniversary
date of his first winner later
CnlS month. Maryland, as well
as New York, has a more gen.
erous arrangement designed to
encourage young riders, in that
they don't lose their five-pound
allowance until the anniver-
sary date of their fifth winner.
For Clark, who plans to move
to New York next month, this
occurs in May.
Although Clark is a newcom-
er to Maryland as a rider, it is
not his first visit to the State.
He was born in Baltimore and
was raised on his grandfather's
farm in the Greenspring VAL
ley. near Alfred Vanderbilt's

Although Herb says he re-
members very little about that
farm, as his parents moved to
Cleveland when he was 6, it's
possible that something about
horses appealed to him at a
tender age.

Cleveland" Clark related.
when I finished high school
I wrote to Mr.. Price for a job
with his stable. But he advised
me to go on to college and told
me race track life wasn't as
glamorous as I might think.
That was before Garry Back
and things weren't going too
good with his stable"
Young Clark didn't follow
Prices advice. In the summer
of 1859 he visited Randall Park
near Cleveland and picked up
a job with Trainer Walter Flu
gate as a stable hand.
It wasn't too long before
young Clark also did a reason
able job of disproving Prices
line about racing life not being
glamorous. He brought home
his first winner at Sunshine
Park last February and his
stock had begun to boom before
he celebrated his 21st birthday
in October. He rode SO winners
for the year and if life wasn't
glamorous, his bank account
was.
However, Clark has known
his share of gloom.
In September 1860. after he
had made his riding debut at
Scarborough Downs, a New
England night track, a 2-year-
old propped and wheeled in
Ohio one morning and the
young rider was thrown. He
suffered a fractured back anc

before he was able to return tc
his trade about a year ago.

If American University res
cues a winning basketball rec
ord this winter, it could be
because Bob Lindquist is in the
drivers seat. Not that Lind
quist steers the team, but his
driving the ball toward the
basket acts as sort of a gas
pedal.
Last night at AU, before a
surprisingly small crowd OF
some TOO fans, Lindquist's driv-
ing helped the Eagles accelerate

Lindquist wound up the high

shots after his drives had

is just what the coach called
for.
Jim Williams. acting head
coach for the ailing Dave Car
raSco. said Lindquist had been
driving well lately and this tao
tic was necessary to free him
for his good jump shot. Early
in the game his jumper was
off the mark because of the
close guarding of GUS Walt
Skinner.
No one on either team was
on target the first half as the
Cardinals stayed on top most of
