V j ' ' J Competition hot at annuai rodeo SpUyty Tymoo pho(o by Shtwayk Runner joins others during annual Pi-Ume-S ha run. Results of the run will appear in next issue. With the sound of hoof beats and the clanging of chute gates, cowboys loaded the bucking chutes for some ild and fast action at the Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days Rodeo. Rodeo competition the number one sport in the country. The action was wild and tough as cowboys of the Western States Indian Rodeo Association came in full force and full of business for a chunk of the prize money. The more one wins, the better it is for his standings in the Association. Each dollar he makes counts as a point. The one with the most points at the end of the regular rodeo sea son is the champion. This includes all of the sanctioned rodeos during the season. The most money winner at the end of the season is declared the all-around champion. Some associations require the cowboy to have competed in both the rough stock and thetimed events to become the champion while others declare the most money winner the top spot. During recent years the rodeos have changed in many ways, there are various rodeo associations the rules and fines a cowboy faces if he fails to abide by the rules. This year there were a total of 299 cowboys and cowgirls entered in the two days of tough competi tion from the top cowboys from the Western States and Canada who were vying for the top spot in his particular event. The competi tion was tough in all events where numbers and times were all grouped close together. There were no serious injuries although there were a lot of bumps and bruises. Right after this rodeo all the cowboys will be going to Iloopa, California for some action during the 4th of July which is another WSIR A sanctioned rodeo. Although the heat took its toll on some of the fans and spectators the cowboys withstood the element, even some of the local kids got in on a piece of the action in the calf riding. The future cowboys tried their luck on these frisky little calves. The boys said that the calves were too small to sit on and the calves won the bout with the little fellers. Maybe next year there will be bigger animals to ride. The results of the rodeo in events. Bareback:! . Terry Parrish. 70; 2. Wilford Turn, 68; 3. John Ham mack, with a 66. Saddle bronc:! .
