Ladies Dominate 2nd Hunt

Sixty Bold Men Riding But None in First Four Places; Mrs. Liddell: Wins. on Going Slow By "Tur Cross"

RS. Liddell won the second hunt of the season held yesterday morning when she headed a field of about sixty competitors io pass the flags first on Going Slow. Mrs. A. E. Arnold was second on San Carlo while the Pollock sisters, Yvonne and Cissy, finish third and fourth respectively.

From the Card it would abear that it was a ladies' hunt but it was really quite the contrary as sixty bold men were riding "hell for leather" to be among the first six. F. Kauffman was fifth on Busted Straight and L. Scheyven, the Belgian Charge d'Affaires, was sixth on the only Z in the Card, Kalga. them, will go into the Rose Bow! with the having trounced last year 7 of a champion Southern California probably will be opposed by Coach Bob Neyland's Tennessee Volunteers who defeated Auburn yesterday 7 to 0 for their tenth straight victory this season and their 20th in two years.

In winning ten games this year the Volunteers have not allowed the enemy to kiss their coal line while scoring 212 points themselves—indeed a remarkable record for a major eleven.

The winner, Mrs. Liddell, was again just too good for her rivals and got ihe better of them ili a close and hard-ridden finish, a fitting climax to a magnificent hunt which had lots of galloping and just sufficient jumping fo make it a bit difficult.

Dr. D. L. McWhirter was congratulated by the riders after the hunt for having laid a splendid one, covering about nine miles of well-known Minghong district and taking the field through some good sized natural jumps, which as Mr. MeWhiter said "could be taken by ponies of either "But only by free movers, good jumpers and bold riders" was the retort from another who galloped over the course. Jumps like the frs on "Only Way" line and "Zig Zag" were quite a test for an average China pony.
