HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Champions (Continued from pace 1) to 113, and cainod first place rarnincs in that event. He al so received a pair of bareback chaps from Severe Bros, of rcn- dleton. Ken Wellinc of Salem was first in bull riding with a score of 56 for the sincle co-round and he won a trophy buckle from Ron Loonmg of the ag on Wheel Lounge. Harry Noble was first in saddle bronc riding and received a silver buckle from Cornott Green Feed as a trophv. 'Hard Luck Boy Picked It wasn't hard to determine winners in the "Hard Luck Cow bov" competition. Bob Rowland of Salem tangled with a bull Saturday afternoon. It appeared that the bull stepped on his chest or struck his Jaw with a leg. He suffered a concussion, was taken to the Pioneer Mem orial hospital and remained there unconscious for some time. He then improved and Monday was released. Needless to say, this brought him the "Hard Luck" award from the New York Store. Pendleton. Saturday, the award being a Bailey fur felf hat. On Sunday afternoon, Simon (Butch Winters of Heppner took a nasty blow when he was bucked off his horse in the opening bareback event. He al so was taken to the hospital for observation but was released la ter, apparently not seriously hurt. This made him "Hard Luck Cowboy" ior Sunday and he, too, received a Bailey fur felt hat from the New York Store. Only other casualty among the performers was Joe Rosen berg who took a hard hit in saddle bronc riding Sunday that Jarred him. He had to perform in the bulldogging next, and took a bruising in that event, too. The Pendleton cowboy was pretty well buffeted and later was taken for a checkup but suffered no serious hurts. Hot weather of the preceding day moderated for the rodeo weekend, and the performances were in near-perfect weather, with a total of 181 entrants competing. A few drops of rain fell Saturday night and again i Sunday but not enough to wet the grounds. Gate Receipts Up All performances were lively, and the crowds were larger than last year. Tad Miller, rodeo chairman, and the other direct ors were encouraged by the con siderably larger gate receipts and much credit was given Joe Balfe and his Chamber of Com merce crew for their fine work in selling and taking tickets, and in controlling the gates. Performances by the Salem Saddle Club drill team added color and interest to the pro grams as they came back for their third consecutive year, doing such intricate maneuvers on horseback as threading the needle by the numbers. Another attrac t i o n that brought admiration from the rodeo crowds was the six-horse hitch of the La Grande Live stock Commission Co. The hors es weigh about a ton each with one going at 2350 pounds. They were the center of interest ior those who admire fine and well trained horses. The labors of Miller and his directors was evident in the smooth operation of the three shows. All the directors had done their planning well, and it showed in the performances. Secretary John Venard was one of the busiest persons in town and received helpful clerical aid from his wife, Clista. Tim ers were Biil Collins and Arch ie Munkers who were vital to the success of the show. Ray French handled the calf chutes, and Charley Daly had one of the tough working jobs in hand ling the bucking chutes. He al so was in charge of prizes. Virgil Chapman again did a fine Job as field judge, and pickup men included Norm Dur fey, Frank Johnson, Jack McCar- ty, and Leroy Van Belle. Les Patterson was hired by the ro-1 aeo as judge or the bucking events and the cowboys elected Harry Noble from among them on Saturday and Bill Herrera on Sunday. Joe Daley Praised Joe Daley received plaudits from everyone for his work as announcer. "I think he did one of the finest jobs as announcer I've ever heard," Chairman Miller said. The rodeo head also had praise for John Irwin, the clown, of Tacoma, not only for his hu morous antics but for his help in other ways through the shows. Director Bill Healy had some problems with the races, one of which erupted in an impromptu battle on the field between par ticipants, but he proved that he was capable in handling the WE'RE LOOKING FOR A GOOD MAN OVER 40 For Short Trips Surrounding HEPPNER Man We Want is Worth Up To $16,500 Plus Regular Cash Bonuses AIR MAIL M.
