Polo Playing Family Affair
For Tylers of 'Pierre Cowboys'
By GORDON R. PETERSON
(Assoclstea Press Newsreaturesl
Pierre, S.D. At '66 years of
age, a leg injury forced A. B.
(Pop) Tyler of Pierre to break
the unity of his family "Pierre
Cowboys" polo team and take
to the bench. That was in 1944.
For 22 years Pop Tyler had
ridden herd on his family team
comprised of himself, his sons
Bob, 37, and Toby 45. For the
last five years grandson Bonnie,
now 15, has ridden in the lineup.
Since the accident in '44
Fop has been tied to a pair of
crutches. But there are no
regrest as far as he is con
cerned. "If I had to take the
same chance I'd still be in
there riding with my boys be
cause polo is one sport that,
once it gets in your blood,
never leaves." That was Pop's
trouble. He broke an artery
In his leg.
Pop Tyler started playing polo
in Pierre back in 1920 and two
years later had his own family
team. .. During those early years
of the game in South Dakota,
v Pierre boasted four complete
V teams the best being Pop's
Cowboys.
Today it means nothing to the
cowboys that their competitors
can draw recruits from towns
and states of ten times their size
From Pierre, S.D., population
6,000 if stretched Pop has
drawn one of the best teams in
the nation virtually within his
own family.
Late last year the Cowboys
defeated the Detroit team, 12-
11, for the tournament cham
pionship. Pop says "we shouldn't
have won that one. We spotted
them six goals and they were
a hell of a lot better than that."
The Tyler Cowboys' record in
the past two decades has been
much the same plenty of clean
sweeps and plenty of champion
ships. And the future has
bright look Pop predicts.
Pop says that 15-year-old Ron
nie is going to be the best polo
player the Tylers have produced
That's saying something when
Bud, Ronnie's father, is gener
ally rated a six goal mar
throughout the country.
The old man doesn't have
any regrets but does say, "if
I hadn't been so nuts about the
game I'd probably be a lot
better off financially today."
What Pop means is that polo
playing costs the Tyler family
about $5,000 a year. However,
part of that is cut down by the
trained polo ponies the family
1 raises and sells to other teams.
Those ponies, which take two to
three years to train, sell for be
tween $1,000 and $2,500 apiece
Pop Tyler is also a staunch
defender of the western cow
boy. He says "to make a good
polo player a man's got to have
horse sense, because a good polo
poney will outplay the rider and
be in on the play before his
master has made up his mind.
"Take my boys and Ronnie,
there isn't a white collar man
In the bunch. They're right out
there with the horses and our
cattle most of the time. They
don't need any preparation for
a game they're always in shape
and with plenty of good hrs
sense."
Pop got into the polo game
Just by accident. It was in 1920
that a call for help from a local
Army cavalry unit did it. The
Army men couldn't get their
horses trained to the specialties
of the polo ponies, so Pop went
In and did the job for the boys.
It was pretty simple as far
as he was concerned just a
different type of bit for the
horses so they wouldn't throw
face "Broken-Out?

blood for keeps.
rj Dick Diinker College Basketball Power Index
EXPLANATION The Power Index provides a direct comparison of the relative streng-th
of any two teams for this season to date. Thus, a 50.0 team has been 10 scoring; points
stronger than a 40.0 team on their comparative records, in hlch scoring margin has
been weighed against strength of opposition. This does not necessarily mean that a 50.0
team should defeat a 40.0 team by exactly 10 point In the "uture. Teams rarely follow
past performance that closely. Furthermore, the ratings are not adjusted for such fac
tors as home court, Injuries and Ineligibilities. The Dunkel system correlates records of
all college teams and was started In 1929.

Weather, Quake Make
Tacoma Bowl 'Elephant'
By DAN SEYMOUR
(United Press BporU Writer)
Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 16 (U.PJ
The condemned Stadium Bowl
here, which was one of Tacoma's
few links to the chain of major
sporting events, has become just
another "white elephant."
And no one knows exactly
what to do about it.
Despite much popular opinion
the earthquake last April was
not directly responsible for con
demnation of the bowl, except
possibly to lead to a close in
spection of the premises.
It was found that the steel
girders supporting the 20,000
seats had rusted to the point
where holes and cracks were
showing. The bowl was de
clared unsafe. Fans who had
been among those filling it to
the brim at the Washington
State - Penn State football
game the preceding fall gave
a delayed shudder.
Completion of the new Lin
coln Bowl relieved the situation
as far as local sporting events
were concerned, but outdoor
events such as intersectional
football games and the like are
out. The Lincoln Bowl seats
8S00.
Official owner of the white
elephant is the Tacoma school
district. David Tuell, a school
board member, said ownership
came about through "circum
stances." In 1909, the board
put up $100,000 of the original
cost of $150,000 and that, the
board moans today, makes it the
owner.
Today it would cost from
$250,000 to $400,000 just to re
pair it.
The school board, the city
council, the Tacoma athletic
commission and other civic
groups agree it should be re-

paired. But no one seems will
ing to tackle the job
Some school board members
talked about putting a bond is
sue on the ballot at the next
election to raise the money.
But so far this has been ruled
out because there are two other
"must" millage issues.
Many board members would
like to get rid of the bowl
and put it in the hands of the
city. But this would require
enough red tape to fill the
bowl.
First, a vote would be re
quired before the bowl could be
sold or given away. Then the
voters would have to OK pos
session by the city. After that,
a bond issue to repair the bowl
would still have to be put on
the ballot by the city unless, of
course, another means was found
of raising the money.
But here is no guarantee that
the city would even accept own
ership. Many city officials point
out that the tax for repairs
would come from practically
the same pockets anyway.

Horses Are Mere Tools
Of Trade for Rodeo King
By ELLIOTT CHAZE
(Associated Press Sport. Writer)
Denver, Jan. 18 VP) The
nation's No. 1 rodeo cowboy
slipped a sponge into the seat
of his pants, adjusted it deli
cately and said: "I've about
beat all the life out of this
one."
He took a few cautious steps
around the saddle shop which
served as his dressing room,
stopped and patted himself.
"No, you don't have to tape
the sponge," he said. "These
Ievis fit so tight it stays put."
Of 260 cowpokes on hand
to compete in the National
Western Stock Show rodeo, 21-year-old
Jim Shoulders of
Tulsa, Okla., is considered the
man most likely to succeed.
Shoulders began wearing a
sponge in the seat of his
britches at 14, "riding in the
littler rodeos around home."
And on him the sponge looks
good when you reflect that he
picked up $21,800 chauffeur
ing bareback broncs and
Brahma bulls in 1949
Of course, there's more to
it than the sponges.
"The only way to learn to
ride bucking horses Is by fall
ing off them," he believes.
"You can't ask a horse to buck
just a little bit."
His buddies like him be
cause he's affected no airs
since becoming a champion.
He carries his bucking-horse
rigging in a cheap canvas bag.
Before that he carried his
stuff in a gunny-sack.
The rigging consists of a
leather strap to pass around
the bareback horse. There's
a taped handle attached to
the strap, sort of like a suit
case handle, just big enough

With this simple equip
ment, and with the sponges,
of course, he's built himself
bankroll, a name, and a fu
ture of sorts.
"I'll stick with this business
as long as I can," he says.
"It's the only thing I know.
You hear a lot of sentimental
talk about the smell of the
horses and all getting into your
blood. That's the baloney.
I don't like to smell a horse
any more than you like to

What life Insmance
brought in 1949
A Report on how an Important Main Street
institution benefits all America
IMORE VMolljjir for payment to you and your neiyJJ)
Every day In 1949, an average of
$4.1 million in death benefits was
paid out to widows, children and
other beneficiaries of life insurance
policyholders. A testimony to
American thrift and foresight!
To living policyholders themselves,
more than $5.5 million was paid
daily. Half of all life insurance bene
fits paid in 1949 was for such plans
as college for the youngsters, retire
ment, travel, financial emergency.
As more men and women used life
insurance to protect their families,
or for retirement and other "living
benefits," the average life insurance
protection among insured families
rose to more than $6000.
ore money
for you on JMain Street
And as more folks used life insur
ance, more life insurance assets
went to work in 19491 This was pari,
of the $59.3 billion behind your
policies, invested on Main Street
until needed . . . helping all America!
This money helps build the com
munity, extend electricity, expand
factories, and helps to make jobs
in other ways. To do this, life in
surance companies put $3.8 billion
more money to work in 1949 alone!
Nearly half these "working dol
lars" went for better housing. Helped
folks buy or build homes, improve
farms. The average of all life insur
ance company home mortgage loans
amounted to only $5000!
tATore folks making their own Security. . .
By their own thrift and initia
tive . . . and by their own free will
... 80 million men and women are
using life insurance as a means
of making their own security for
the future. Altogether in 1949,
their policies added up to 213
billion dollars of protection.
And since it helps people do so
much for themselves, life insurance
is used by more and more people
very year.
That's why today the business
has grown to 584 individual life
insurance companies. These com
panies compete actively ... in the
forward-looking American way . . .
to answer the country's growing
need for security that is self-made.
As new families come along in
1950, many will buy life insurance
for the first time. Other folks will
increase the life insurance they
have. As a result, the new year will
see life insurance helping even more
people to make their own security
... on their own.
Yes, life insurance is a
growing service! It enables
millions of folks to take care
of their own, in the self
reliant American way.
