To Go 'Underground' BRISTOL, Eng-(UP) -Britain's sport of fox hunting may go underground if the Labor government presses a proposed bill to outlaw the hunt as a kindness to foxes. Hnndreds of squires, dukes and other landed gentry heard this threat expressed by the Duke of Beaufort, master of the famed Beaufort Hunt, during a protest meeting last night. "If the critics of fox hunting think they can, by the stroke of a pen, make us give up the sport our fathers enjoyed for hundreds of years, they are completely ignorant of the British character," he said.
