Accomplish ment grants,
which come under a second pro

the status and compensation of
college teachers. Reed college is
the only Oregon college to re
ceive an accomplishment grant,
the first installment totaling
$85,000.

Montpelier, Vt. (U.R) Ver

now rates only 10 per cent of

Is That So?
Strangely enough, Blthough
histories have ransacked the Rev
olutionary period for the tiniest
details, for the most part little
has been reported about the
sports of our founding fathers.
This we know: Mad Anthony
Wayne was a billiard player; Pat
rick Henry, a fisherman; Benja
min Franklin, a swimmer; the
Marquis de Lafayette, a fencer;
Ethan Allen, a deer hunter; Na-
7-4-56
thanial Greene, a wrestler; John
Adams, a ballplayer; Alexander
Hamilton, a hunter; Governeux
Morris, an outdoorsman; James
Madison, a bird watcher; and
Thomas Jefferson, a chess play
er. .
But of them all perhaps
George Washington was the
greatest all -around sportsman.
And in those days, this was not
easy. Considerable prejudice ex
isted against sports particu
larly in Puritan New England.
This bias was so strong, in fact,
that the First Continental Con
gress of 1774 passed an agree
ment calling upon the colonies to
"discontinue and discourage
every Species of Extravagance
and Dissipation; especially all
Horse Racing, and all kinds of
gaming, Cock Fighting, Exhi
bitions of Shows, Plays and oth
er expensive Diversions and en
tertainments." Perhaps this very bias indi
cates how popular these sports
must have been particularly
in the southern colonies.
At any rate, in defiance of the
bluenoses, Washington lived the
active outdoor life.
While President, he once took
his Secretary of State, Thomas
Jefferson, out to sea on a fish
ing expedition. At another time,
during his first year in office, he
went fishing. His dairy says (and
note the typical Angler's alibi):
''Having lines, we proceeded
to the fishing banks, a little
without the harbour, and fished
for Cod, but it not being a proper
time of tide, we only caught two,
with w'ch, about 1 o'clock we re
turn to Town. Dined at Mr. Lang
don's, and drank Tea there, with
a large circle of Ladies, and re
tired a little after seven o'clock."
Horses Greatest Passion
But Washington's greatest
passion was horses, apparently
being one of those fabled Virgin
ians who would walk five miles
to catch a horse to be able to
ride him one mile. The Father of
our Country not only bred hors
es, but trained them and raced
them and then bet on them. To
cite but one instance, in 1773,
Washngton made a special trip
from Mt. Vernon to Annapolis
to attend a race meeting. Wheth
er or not Washington won is not
disclosed but it is a matter of
record that when beaten, he
was' always prompt to congratu
late a rival owner upon his "suc
cess on the turf."
His love for horses, as to be
expected, led him into fox hunt
ing and his diary has frequent
references to this sport. For ex
ample, in the middle of the win
ter of 1769, during the month of
January and February, he rode
to hounds 15 times one week,
on six successive days. Among
the names of his hounds were Pi
lot, Musick, Truelove, Trueman,
Sweetlips and Bell Tongue.
Mounted on his favorite horse,
Blueskin, Washington must have
cut a fine figure. He wore a
Br EUGENE BURNS
Rangrr-Naruralist
hunting coat, and a scarlet waist
coat, buckskin breeches, top
boots and a velvet cap.
In addition to his fox hounds,
Washington had a kennel of stag
hounds presented to him by his
Revolutionary aide Lafayette, a
fellow billiard player.
Enjoyed Cards
In latter years, Washington
gave up the more strenuous
sports a n d enjoyed himself
more with cards, billiards and
"ducking" on his estate.
Appropriately enough, Wash
ington's enthusiasms for the out
door life must have been passed
on. While a war .correspondent
for the Associated Press during
World War II, I met Lieut. Gen.
Simon Bolivar Buckner, a five
generation descendant of Wash
ington's sister and these were
Buckner's sports, as far as I
learned them, and there may
have been others: angler, hunt
er, skater, photographer, taxider
mist, trapper, sailor, swimmer,
wrestler, polo player, aviator,
and big game hunter. And hav
ing seen him in action under fire
(he was killed , at Okinawa),
fighting for American freedom.
Just like his predecssor.
