Riding Prof Tells
Of Death Escape
A sudden escape from the Bolsheviks 40 years ago pre
vented Capt. Gergory A. Gagarin, assistant professor of
physical education, from digging his own grave—and filling
Gagarin narrowly escaped death by firing
Russia in 1918.
Gagarin, now a riding instruc
tor, was living at his family es
tate near Pskov in northern Rus
sia after serving with the Czar’s
regiment in World War 11.
In 1918 he was arrested in the
town of Porchof by the Bolshe
viks, for no apparent reason. Ga
garin was kept in jail until the
Pskov-area peasant s—who re
garded him highly because he
had been able to sell their flax
to the British government—peti
tioned the Bolsheviks for his re
lease.
| “It was then that the Bolshe
ivik,s appaiently decided to get
| rid of me,” Ga--
garin said. He ,

“I was young,” Gagarin said,
“and loved life so much I could
not die without at least trying
to escape.” He bolted, took the
guards by surprise and zigzagged
down a side street under heavy
fire.
His right hand was shattered
by a bullet and he had been shot
in the side. For six days he hid
with peasants.
He made his way to Pskov
Kiev and then Odessa, where he
joined the French army, which
was fighting the Bolsheviks.

Students Seek
Unused Tickets
For 'Readings'
Members of the Artists Series
committee have requested stu
dents who hold tickets to the
John Gielgud Readings and find
they can not use them, to give
them to other students.
Tickets for Gielgud’s perform
ance. scheduled for 8:30 tonight
in Schwab Auditorium, were
completely distributed or sold out
hours after hey were made avail
able.
Since the demand for tickets is
so great, and since many people
were turned away, from the dis
tribution center at the Hetzel
Union desk, committee members
urge passing on tickets which
will not be used.
Gielgud’s program tonight will
consist of a group of selected
Shakespearean readings entitled
“Shakespeare’s Ages of Man.”
They will cover most of Shakes
pearp’s most famous works.
Gielgud, noted British actor
and director, is best known to
the American audience for his
portrayal of Cassius in “Julius
Ceasar.” Prior to the tour he is
now making, he last appeared in
the United States in 1950 in
Christopher Fry’s “The Lady’s
Not for Burning.”
His appearance tonight marks
the third program in the current
Artists Series. _
