Clowns till an important place in rodeo and especially around Brahma bulls who like nothing better than to jump on a cowboy when he’4 lying on the ground or toss him into the air with their horns. Harley Tucker has mean bulls. Monk Pierce and Dodo Earls are the two clowns with Tucker. Dodo is the clown and barrel man w’hile Monk is the bull fighter. But it s handy to have a barrel around when a bull charges so they work together and while they are entertaining the bull the cowboy can get up and run away cr the ambulance crew can pick him up. Bull fighters depend on dodging, cn waiting until the moment the bull is on them before swinging out of the w’ay while the bull charge« straight ahead getting madder every charge Barrel men have their problems, too, as when a small bull stuck his head into the open end of the barrel to glare and bawl at the imprisoned clown inside until both were rescued. And once in Tucson a big Brahma came down on a barrel, flattening it out so a blacksmith was needed to get the clown out. T hat’s what makes it so exciting. r
