Wahnetah, a steady point produ
cer all season long for the Buffs in
the Hurdles and high jump which
kept the Buffs in contention right
along. This is the second year for
Monica to win the high hurdle
event at the district. There are
some good times turned in through
out the state in the hurdle event so
Monica will have her work cut out
for herself at state.

Gone are the days of the wild
and wooley wild horses that used
to come right off the range of
Warm Springs to give the spectators
the wild action of stock never have
been in captivity before, which made
the All-Indian rodeo what it is
today.
Never the less the competition
was lough as usual at this years
Tywama All-Indian Rodeo which
was held in Tygh Valley, Oregon
on May 1 7th and 1 8th.
Jerry Sam of Omak, Washington,
was named the Ail-Around champion
this year and he was presented with
a trophy saddle. The cowboy to
win the all-around title had to
place in both a timed and rough
stock event. There were very few
who were really in contention for
the all-around title.
There were 256 entries in all the
events that took place from all
parts of the Northwest. I'm sure
that cowboys out numbered the
cops just a little bit. . .not very
much though.
In the first go round in bareback
riding Shane Olney and Gary Sam
scored 69 points to top all riders for
the day. Shawn Best and Wilfred
Tuni each scored 67 to split 3rd and
4th for day money. In the second
go Wilfred Tuni scored 69, Freddie
Blackwater 68 and Frank Paz 67.
The average winner was Wilfred
Tuni score 136 points on two head,
second Shane Olney 1 32 and third
Terry Parrish 1 31.
In the saddle bronc competition
it was all Jerry Sam as he scored 71
the first day and 76 the second day
to that event. The first day, second
place was split three ways as all
riders scored a total of 66 each,
they were Terry Parrish, Rayfield
Kelly and Shawn Best. In the second
Elwood Hinkey scored 69 for second,
Terry Parrish 67 for third and
Marvin Garcia 59 for fourth. The
average Jerry Sam 147 on two head
for first, Terry Parrish 133 for
second, Rayfield Kelly 1 28 for third
Elwood Hinkey 69 for fourth.
The bull riding was tough as the
word goes, Roy Begody scored 83
to win the event. Dave Best 70, for
second while Freddy Blackwater
and Bill Tonasket each scored 68 to
tie for third. Tom Best and Alan
Flett both scored 67 for a split for
fourth.
The barrel racing was just as
tough as a bucket of nails with all
the girls making fine runs with
their fine horses. Winning the event
was C.R. Squiemphen of Warm
Springs with a time of 1 8.84. second
was Lorraine Garcia with a time of
19.28, Shannon Williamsand Betty
Sampson each had a total time of
19.31 to split third place. There
were 25 entries in the girls barrel
racing and several from Warm
Springs.
The calf roping saw Garret
Spoonhuntcr rope and tie one in
10.89 for day money, Robert Hicks
had a time of 1 3.97 for second and
Todd Cline 16.10 for third. The
second day Ed Harry tied one in
1 1.47 for first, Dennis Dahl 12.27,
second Cort Herrera 1 3.89 for third.
The average went to Garret Spoon
huntcr with a total time of 29. 15 on
two calves. Second Dennis Dahl
with 36.27, and Ed Harry third
with 42.56.
The steer wrestling saw Melvin
Joseph wind one to the ground in
5.13 for first, second Robert Hicks
7.16 and third Cort Herrera 7.20.
The second go, Cort Herrera downed
one in 5.00 for first, Mel Joseph
had a 5.60 and Ron Luke and
Anson Jon Begay each got a 9.40 to
split third. The average Mel Joseph
on two head had a total time of
10.73 for first. Cort Herrera 12.20.
John Hammack 20.97 for third.
The wild cow milking usually
provides entertainment for the spec
tators of course is a tough event
especially for the mugger who has
to contain the cow while the roper
milks the cow and run across the
arena to the time flagman. The
bottle must have milk or otherwise
there is no time. The rope must be
completely off the cow as the roper
crosses the line. George Adams, Jr.
of White Swan roped and milked a
cow in 18.20 to take first place,
Jerry Sam second with a time of
43.50, Roger Fiander 44.64 third
Terry Parrish 47.00 fourth, Mel
Joseph 52.60 fifth and Gordon
Scott 59.50 for sixth.
The team roping saw Gilbert
Temoke and Pat Tafoya rope one
in 8.44 for first, Ralph Rogers and
Todd Cline 8.45 second, Bob Joseph
and Mel Joseph 8.54 for third,
Dennis Dahl and Garret Spoonhun
ter 8.77 for fourth and Thumper
Miller and Sandy Miller rope one
in 9.00 for fifth.
Well thev sav. "It's the wildest
event of the show, w here men face
beast." The wildhorse race. Like
any other year there were plenty of
bumps and bruises and cowboys
laying in the paths of these wild
horses. The first day the team of
Jason Smith won theevent with his
father Buck Smith's team came in
second and Charley Scott third.
The second day Jason Smith again
won the event. Wayne BullCalf
second and Charley Scott third.
Incidentally the Jason Smith was
the world champion wildhorse race
team last year.
The tough competition between
man and beast and man against
man came to a close for another
year at Tygh Valley, with some
very pleasant memories of all contes
tants who will remember their spot
in the show.
The next WSIRA rodeo will be
held in Klamath Falls. May 24 and
25, where all the cowboys will be
participating in their special events
trying to build their points for the
national finals next fall.
