Horse v. Man

Can a riderless horse jump higher than a man? To try to settle this footling argument, Manhattan's Metropolitan Equestrian Club last week invited five A. A. U. athletes to compete against 14 show-ring jumpers. With riders to "lift" them, horses have been known to jump almost 9 ft. high. Bareback, few have ever equaled .man's best high-jumping record: 6 ft. 9 3/4 in. Last week's contest was a washout. Horse's highest jump: 6 ft. 2 in. Man's highest jump: 6 ft. 2 in.
