Each year at the Rour.il-Up the camera catches many histny-m.-kinjr
scenes for in the thrilling contests champions are made
and unmade and cowboys and cowgirls risk life and limb in their
eager desire to win. That few serious injuries occur is due
chiefly to the skill and hardihood of the participants. The top
view on this page shows a scene during the Indians pony race,
generally a thriller because of the large number of entrants and
the fact the red men rided hard to win, though as a rule the In
dians are not as skillful as the white man in the saddle. In the second row. reading from the
left, Katie Wilkes of Miles City, Mont., is shown winning the cowgirls world championship at
the I9lt Round-Up. She had a bad bucker but rode him straight up, slick and scrati hed him.
The middle picture, second row. shows George Wier of Monument, New Mexico, winner of
the H'lS steer roping championship. Standing by his hors. at the right, is shown Allen

world's championship. He rode "Angel," one of the Round-Up's hardest and most spectacular
buckers and the decision of the judges, giving him the contest, was entirely in accord with popu
lar sentiment among the spectators. At the bottom, left. Frank MeCarrolI is shown bulldog
