"HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, MARCH .7, .1930. TEST PILOT ASSIGNED | 5 5iten . ot former chief test pilot Washington New York Paris ment between Princess Ileana and Count LINDY SIDESLIPS FROM POLO HORSE Flying Colonel Returns to Glider for Safe Trans- portation. By the Associated Press. DEL MONTE, Calif.,, March 7.—Hav- ing been catapulted from the back of & galloping polo pony and dragged sev- | eral yards onethe choice turf of Del | Monte Field, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh went back to his glider today for a safe and sane ride. It happened yesterday while the colonel, as the guest of J. Cheever Cowdin of New York, was making his first solo flight on a polo pony. With the flying colonel on its back, ! the pony banked sharply, Lindbergh unceremoniously left the controls, went | into a stall and sideslipped. | Lindbergh didn't have his parachute | § with him, but it wouldn't have done any good anyway. He lost altitude rapidly. | In some manner his foot caught in | the right skid-fin, which poloists care- lessly call the stirrup. Unaware of the identity of its famous rider, the pony went_right on about its business and | taxied down the field, towing the colonel by the foot. Col. Lindbergh left a trademark about | 25 feet long in the turf and then his foot came free. He scrambled to hi feet, jaughed, and announced that he was unhurt. Shortly thereafter he went home to his glider, the Anne Lindbergh, with a new viewpoint on the safety of flying. The famous fiyer's riding experience heretofore has been limited to com- paratively gentle saddle horses. His two visits to the polo field yesterday whetted his interest in the spirited mounts, and it was said he might take the field again some time when he feels the need of doing something dan- gerous.
