Equine Helpers Balk at Job of Clearing Off Local lee Ponds Old Dobbin may be an emblem of past grandeur and an inspiration for sonnets to a passing institution but "Hap" Gathercoal, recreation assistant, has things to ~ay about him when it comes to scraping snow off the ice rinks that by no stretch of the imagination could be mistaken for poetry. "Hap" recites his little piece whenever anybody asks him why the ice at the Village Green was not prepared for skating last Tuesday afternoon. It seems that a team had been hired for half a day to scrape off the several inches of snow left there by the blizzards of Sunday and Monday. Said team arrives at !) o'clock. Work sthrts. At 9 :15 o'clock one of the horses sheds a shoe. Said horse falls down. Finally gets up. Limps off the pond with the help of driver and three attendants. Driver quits in disgust and goes home. "Hap" puts attendants to work shovelling by hand and goes after another horse. 10 :30-No "Hap." No horse. 10 :40-"Hap" arrives leading horse. 11-Horse duly hitched up. Another driver in charge. Command "Let's Go," given. 11 :03-New horse registers complaint at being hitched on the wrong side by rearing up, slipping, then falling on lee. 11 :06-Horse has tried to get up several times and can't. 11 :10--Horse still slides when It tries to get up. Gentle prods are not effective. 11 :15-"Hap" has bright idea of hitching him on to other horse and dragging him out to the snow where he can get up. 11 :25-This is accomplished. Find horse too bruised to work any more. 11 :30-Send for another horse. 12-Word comes back no horse obtainable till afternoon. The ice was cleared after an afternoon's work and was available for skating in the evening. I Defer Phye.l·ca) .Educatl.OD ., Demonstration in Schools The annual February physical education demonstrations held at the Stolp and Howard school gymnasiums wlll be postponed this year, Daniel M. Davis, director of recreation, announces. The extra practice takes valuable time from the instructor's program and interferes with the routine schedule each teacher has for p~ysical education. Efforts of the superVIsors and teachers will be devoted to en larging the annual outdoor demonstration ln June.
