PENNSYLVANIA lying High UP AND AWAY goes Penn State's Bill Brodnax as he takes Fleeta over the jump:: to practice for the Horse Show. The niercollegiate show will be held tomorrow and Sunday at the College riding stables. Schools from the eastern United States will compete. Classes include Morgans, gaited, jumpers, hunters, western and ponies. Four Colleges Enter Penn State's Derby' Crazy over horses? Then be sure not to miss the Penn State Riding Club's fifth annual Horse Show tomorrow. Yes, not only is tomorrow Kentucky Derby Day in Louisville, it's also show day for some 28 Penn State students and their mounts, as the College plays host to riding teams from Cornell, Penn Hall, and Grier Colleges. The man who runs the whole show, Captain Gregory Gagarin, assistant professor of physical ed ucation, explained the show's op eration recently in an interview at the College stables. The two-day show, which will continue through Sunday after noon, takes the form of a little OlYmpics. Horsemen compete in thr e e rings," the captain said. tt —an indoor ring, in which they go through intricate maneuvers, jumping in an outdoor ring, and again jumping in an indor ring." 3 Classes to Ride' The Penn State team has won twice and lost twice during the four-year history of the shows. The idea of having competition between college's wa s the cap tain's. You'll see good clean sports manship among the contestants at the show," he said. "Everybody is friendly and happy." There are three classes of riders competing in the show, and from them the four best riders are se lected for the College team. Ap proximately ten beginning, ten intermediate and eight advanced students will ride tomorrow. The horse show tomorrow and Sunday is in responsible hands with the captain at the reins. Rid ing instructor at the College since 1946, the captain taught at Bed ford, N.Y. and Grier College in Tyrone before coming to Penn State. Until the beginning of World War II he owned a riding academy on Long Island. By HELEN LOUISE LUYBEN Captain Gagarin, who speaks a charming bro k e n-English, was born in Russia and served as a commissioned officer in • the Rus sian Guard Cavalry. He left Rus sia at the time of the Bolshevek revolution, because, he said, "The Bolsheveks didn't like me. On the way to my hanging • we got into a fight and I ran away." He ran away, incidentally, with a bullet wound in his left hand which left two fingers limp. That he likes to work with young people becomes quite ap parent- as you watch him conduct his classes. Mounting a horse called Twig, he gallops off to dem onstrate the proper way to take a jump to one of his small, cringing students. He yells gaily, "Come on, come on—Sing a song Re lax!" to reassure another student astride a large grey mare answer ing to the name of Shasta. Could Ride Derby The captain spends most of his time out at the stables. "I am heie from 9 to 4:30 each week day and Saturday, and on Sunday af ternoons," he said. "But I don't ride much anymore. I'm getting too old." He still looks the picture of health, though, and the height of fashion in the horsey set. . . . °Litba.
