Br MARIE McQUAHRIE
Ti-i I no doubt about it
Sunday was a perfect day for
goirers ana there were a great
many of them taking advantage
ot It. There was nothing espec
lally planned, but all were try
ing their luck on the links. New
members, "first time" golfers,
and those that hncln t hit a gou
bull since last fall, made a
gixHlly mixture of players en
joying the course from morning
until almost dark. Many were
just trying to "iron out" the
wrinkles lor the new season and
in the process found many
muscles that hadn t been used
a!l winter. This happens to all
golfers that are summer golfers,
so it seems.
The fairways and greens are
in excellent condition for so
early In the year. Our thanks
to all those who so diligently
worked to make the course a
green paradise on which to play.
A special thanks to Lowell
Gribble for taking his time to
spray broadleaf killer and for
getting all those "beautiful little
dandelions." They are just curl
ing up their toes In disgust and
making room for the grass to
grow more plush. "Thanks,
Grib."
A letter was sent to all mem
bers of Willow Creek Country
Club by President Ed Schaffitz
this last week. Read it care
fully. Included was a list of ail
the activity committees and the
persons he chose to fulfill these
special duties. Why not put this
list in a conspicuous place so
you may refer to it often and
see just who Is who and what
"who does" and what your spec
lal work is. This is a very effic
ient working group, so let's all
get behind the president and do
our duties willingly and happily
to make this a smoothly run
fun year. Regularly planned
play for Sundays will soon be
the order and these are always
fun in which to participate.
Also included in rres. scnai-
fitz' letter was a list of the
Ladies' Days and Playd ays.
Keep this list handy, lady golf
ers, then you will know when
it is your turn to preside over
the Tuesday's play, plan what
is going to be done for that
day and also have the club
house clean for your designated
date. If we all take our turn,
our activities should run ime
clockwork all summer.
Here's to a "Wonderful World
of Golf" at our Willow CreeK

took th rd. At Bozeman. Mont.,
the boys were third and the girls
were second.
Cominu rodeos, prior to tne
regionals here, will be at Pull
man. Wash., La Grande and at
Yakima.
Rhoden gave a resume or tne
college teams and of some of
the best performers.
Montana State Tough
"We beat Montana State once,
but they came back at Missoula
and clobbered us," he said. Mar
vin Joyce, who is an RCA cow
boy, is the leader for Montana
tate. participating in Dunaog-
ging and saddle bronc. He won
the all-around at Missoula. The
same team also has another
pair of top hands In Terry Wag
ner and Alvin Wagner, broth
es. Terry won calf roping in
Bozeman and took the all-
around trophy.
At the present time Blue
Mountain is running either in
second or third in the intercol
legiate point totals. Montana
State is first. The top two teams
in the region will go to the
national finals in Deadwood,
S. D., so the Blue Mountain
squad has a real stake in the
regionals here.
McCoin, who was all-around
at Lewiston and whose wife, the
former Patti Pettyjohn of lone,
won barrel racing at Lewiston
and Missoula and was second
at Bozeman, told of the stock
that is consigned for the reg
ional event. Ed Ring of Ellens
burg, Wash., is stock contract
or. "He brought what you might
call his 'culls' to Lewiston," Mc
Coin said. "He will bring his
good ones here."
A bucking horse, "Trade-
winds," which was voted the
most valuable horse in RCA
competition for two years will
be at the regionals for the boys
to try to ride. Also coming is
a palomino mare wnicn iwccoin
describes as "not big but is
probably the most valuable
bucking horse in the world."
Some Also Pros
Freeman said that the rodeo
sport is considered a very im
portant extra curricuiar activi
ty. Unlike most college sports,
there is no stipulation that the
competitors cannot also partici
pate in professional events out
side of college, and many do.
With advisors and families,
the participating group at the
regionals will exceed 100, Free
man said. The plan is to re
serve the Heppner hotel for the
girl contestants. One motel is
set aside for other participants,
and some of the boys will find
other housing.
"We understand there Is a big
barn with a lot of hay at the
grounds," Freeman said, "and
they are a pretty resourceful
bunch."
First performance will be
right after the Pioneer Memor
ial picnic on May 30, which will
be at the fair pavilion. This win
be followed by 1:30 p.m. shows
on Saturday and Sunday.
Freeman said that he felt
that the Dicnic and rodeo could
help each other by creating ad
ditional interest.
BMCC students are organized
in competition for selling tick
ets, and the entire student body
is participating. Sale starts to
day. Mav 1. and the three stu
dents who sell the most will re
ceive "very high awards," Free

basis, one ticket being good
for two. and nre-school children
