STILL COMPETING-Ike Rude, 65-year-old steer roper from
Buffalo, Okie., is still an active rodeo competitor and roped
in the Crooked River Roundup at Prineville last week. (See
Sports Talk). 1
Sports Talk;..
The husky little fellow with the
big bocts and the wide grin climb
ed over the fence and carefully
surveyed the steers that were to
be used in last Saturday's Crook
ed River Roundup at Prineville.
Ike Rude had done the same
thing hundreds of times before
no thousands. For this is Ike's
50th year as a steer roping com
petitor. And it is a pretty safe bet that
Ike has been rodeoin' longer than
any other cowboy around.
Course famed team and steer
roper John Rhoades of Tucson is
older 72 to be more or less ex
act. But John didn't hit the rodeo
trail until along about 1919 when
ht was 31.
A rarity in a sport k.iown for its
thrills, chills and br.ken bones,
, Ike has never received a major
injury.
"I guess you'd have to say that
steer roping is more for us older
fellows," grins Ike. "At least
there's more of us around in that
event."
It was back in 1910 that Ike
first started rodeoin', just a kid of
IS from Oklahoma. In those days
he also took his turn at calf rop
ing. Then one day, several decades
later, he found that his short little
legs just wouldn't pump fast
enough to keep up with the young
er fellows when it came to chasin'
a calf around the arena.
. And so Ike became a specialist
at steer roping, an event where
his long experience took him to the
top among the nation's great rop
ers. For in 1953, at the age of 59 and
at a time when most men are be
ginning to think about a rocking
chair, Ike won the steer roping
championship of the world dup
licating his feat of 15 years ear
lier'in 194L
' "My favorite rodeos? I guess
you'd have to'say Cheyenne, Pen
dleton, Calgary," answered Ike.
"They're the daddys the real
big ones."
Ike has an especially distin
guished record at the Pendleton
Round-Up. He is currently using
the Hamley saddle he got for win
ning the steer roping at Pendleton
in 1953.
And he picked up two earlier
Hamley saddles in 1931 and 1936.
"That 1931 saddle, that was the
finest one of 'em all," Ike re
called. ' Ike also won the Sam Jackson
Trophy for being the top all
around cowboy at Pendieton in
1931 and 1936.
His last real big win came in
1958 when he won the steer roping
at Cheyenne, picking up more than
a $1,000.

And local rodeo fans will re
member that Ike won the steer
roping at Prineville in 1957.
After that win at Prineville, Ike
has found the going rough.
'Last year was the first year
that I can remember when 1 was
not among the top 10 steer ropers.
And I haven't been winning this
year, either.
"But that doesn't mean any
thing. You never know when you
might get hot. A few wins and I
could be right at the top."
Ike right now would be real sat
isfied if he could get among the
top 15 steer ropers in the coun
try. That would qualify him to com
pete in the first world series of
roping (top 15 steer ropers and top
15 teams in team roping) in No
vember at Clayton, Okla.
And if he should just happen to
get hot and win that first steer
roping world series. . .
The shadows of the sandy
Crooked River rodeo arena Satur
day were lengthening when Ike
Rude, last roper of the day, rode
his horse behind the barrier.
And then the big steer was out
in the arena with Ike in hot pur
suit. He finally caught him on the
far side.
The chase had ate up many val
uable seconds, but once the rope
was around the horns Ike made
an expert trip, wrapped up his
steer speedily and tossed his
hands in the air.
The time wasn't exceptional, but
still quite a feat for a man not
too far away from 70.
And then Ike Rude mounted his
horse, rode past the stands with
that big grin and was gone.

Yankees reel off
6th straight win;
illies' up lead
By United Press International
Is the panic on?
Can the Yankees do it?
Maybe that sounds like those
sign-off teasers they use in soap
operas but the fact is that some
of those American League con
tenders ore going to keep tuned
in closely to learn how the Yanks
wind up. .
They certainly sounded like a
happy, pennant-bound crew on the
train that brought them back from
Boston Tuesday night where they
had just reeled off their sixth
straight victory by beating the
Red Sox, 8-5.
Some of the Yankee players
even were talking about the "an
niversary" commemorating the
start of th Giants' 1951 miracle
pennant drive. .
16-Gamt Pennant Drive
It was just eight years ago to
day that the Giants, 13 games
behind started their drive.
The Yankees cut the margin
between themselves and the first
place White Sox to 10 games
when they scored six runs in the
fifth inning to beat Boston Tues
day.
The Tigers routed the While
Sox, 8-1, and the Athletics ended
a seven-game losing streak by de
feating the Indians, 7-3, in the
only other scheduled AL games.
The "Wjllies did it again for
the Giants, who widened their Na
tional League lead to three games
with a 5-4 victory over the Cardi
nals in 10 innings. The Cubs beat
the second-place Dodgers, 5-4, in
10 innings; the Braves split a
twi-night twin-bill with the Reds,
losing the opener, 4-3, but win
ning the nightcap, 7-3, -and the
Phillies topped the Pirates, 6-4.
Jim Bunning of the Tigers
stopped the White Sox on eight
its and struck out eight in win
ning his 10th game. Al Kaline hit
his 20th homer with two on in the
first inning off loser Billy Pierce
and Coot Veal belted his first ma
jor league homer in the fourth
the bases empty.
A's Rout Mvdcat Grant
Kansas City routed Cleveland
starter Jim (Mudcat) Grant with
a five-run outburst in the first in
ning and then coasted to victory
behind Bud Daley's nine-hit pitch
ing.
Willie Kirkland supplied the
winning base hit for the Giants
against the Cardinals for the sec
ond straight night. Kirkland,
hit a three run homer ir
the first inning Tuesday night and
then singled home Willie Mays in
the 10th.
Home runs by Alvin Dark and
Tony Taylor in the 10th inning
gave the Cubs their victory over
the Dodgers, who had taken a 4-3
lead in the top of the 10th. Ernie
Banks drove in Chicago's first
three runs with his 33rd homer
and a single.
24,109 watch
Bevos win 10-5
By United Press International
Who said interest in minor
league baseball is dying?
Up Portland way, the whole
town seems to be gripped by a
pennant fever as hot as the one
that has hit San Francisco.
They set a Pacific Coast League
attendance record Tuesday right
when 24.109 jammed their way
into Multnomah stadium to cheer
the league-leading Beavers to a
10-5 win over the Sacramento So
lons. The turnout shattered a mark
that dates almost as far back as
the last Portland pennant. That
was set in 1946 when 23.603 showed
up for a game, in San Francisco.
The Beavers won their last flat
in 1945.
The Portland crowd was mostly
kids. They were admitted under, a
plan in which merchants pur
chased the tickets for 50 cents
each and then gave them away.

More than 400 rose bushes
viewed by garden clubbers
A garden of more than 400 rose
bushes, landscaped for size and
color, was the subject of the Mir
ror Pond Garden club tour last
week.
Mrs. David Wilson of 635 E.
Kearney Avenue, a member of the
American Rose Society has made
a study of rose culture. She has
more than 100 books on the sub
ject. Many people, she said, think
successful rose culture here is
questionable because of our late
spring frosts and unpredictable
climate. Having a green thumb
and a love for roses, Mrs. Wilson
has gradually made her dream of
a test rose garden for Central
Oregon materialize.
Having obtained healthy rose
stock from nurseries in compar
able climates all over the United
States, she now has a representa
tive collection of the evolution of
the rose from the earliest species
to the present. A test is being car
lied on here for nurseries and
hybridizers to determine those
which will winter successfully, be
hardiest and best adapted to our
climate and sou.
Mrs. Wilson pointed out a husky
China rose an old type which
puts all the ever-blooming into
modern roses. She also called at
tention to green rose, nature's
clown, dainty miniatures, many
varieties of floribundas, climbing
roses growing in the shade at the
base of trees, moss roses, tea
roses and ths lovely .Cecil Brun
ner. '
On all of her beds Mrs. Wilson
uses a deep sawdust mulch which
tends to hold moisture and makes
once a week watering all that is
necessary. Samples of her garden
soil sent in to Oregon State Col
lege at Corvallis for testing show
ed it to be high in nitrogen but
low in phosphorous and potash so
she feeds her roses regularly with
super phosphate and wood ashes.
She recommends that all garden
ers send in samples of their soil
for testing.
Over the winter season hybrid
perpotuals may remain uncover
ed but the hybrid tea and modern
roses need to be mounded with
six or eight inches of dirt. Prun
ing is best done in the spring, she
said, but not until after May 10
at least. Poor cutting damages
roses which should always be cut
one quarter inch from bud on a
slight angle.

Mrs. Wilson invited all who may

garden.
Continuing the tour, the group
visited the well kept grounds of the
State Highway Department on the
North Dalles California highway.
Mrs. Maud Purvine, local Home
Demonstration agent, named the
many varieties of trees and bush
es, drawing attention to the ef
fective group plantings and the
colorful ground cover, in one
spot, of Kilikinick, a native of
Oregon.

at a potluck luncheon preceding

WASHINGTON (UPD Several
key lawmakers from both sides
predicted today that Congress will
reverse itself and accede to Pres
ident Eisenhower's request for an
increase in the present three-cent
a gallon gasoline tax.
Congressional leaders have re-1
peatedly said they can't go along
with President Eisenhower's re
quest for a l'-i cent a gallon tax
hike to' finance the highway con
struction pregram.
The House Ways and Means
Committee, struggling behind
closed doors for an answer to the
highway dilemma, has voted
down at least nine proposals call
ing for smaller boosts in the levy.
However, several congressional
leaders now believe that despite
the nine previous votes, the com
mittee ultimately will wind up re
versing itself and launch a suc
cessful drive for enactment of a
tax increase.
Congress is under heavy pres
sure to find more money for the
highway trust fund, which finances
construction of the 41,000-mile
network of interstate superhigh
ways. Tlie Eisenhower administration
had warned that if nothing is done
it can't make the scheduled $2,
200.000.000 apportionment to the
states for the year beginning next
July 1.
