With more than 2500 people cheering wildly, the an-
nual Rodeo got under way at the fair grounds this after
noon promptly at 130, and every event was being staged
on time, with horses, riders and others in readiness for;
each event as soon as it was called.
Cyrus Schoops of Calgary appeared to have won the
calf roping contest, when he roped his calf and tied it.
in 32 seconds. His brother, Jess Schoops was disqualn
fied. Others who took part in this event were Matt Mc
Culley, Boss Richardson, Bob Lewis and Riggs Sconchin."
Luke Wills was carried unconscious from the field
after being thrown in the bull riding contest. The ex
tent of his injuries was not learned at a late hour this
affernoon. Jack Crim also was thrown in this contest
but was not hurt. Wills lighted on the back of his head;
and appeared to be suffering from concussion of the
brain.
In the first racing event, the half-mile free for all
Carl Cum won first money, with Doc Haynes a close
second. Curn's time was 52 seconds. . ?
Virginia Dare showed her heels to the field in the

Jack Crimm bit the dust when Black Demon tossed him

gently. Crimm, being used to taking them on the jaw
in the prize ring, was unhurt. '
All records, both for attendance and quality of per-,
formance, will be broken .by the Rodeo which opened
today, is the opinion of those who have attended the
Rodeo here in past years and who saw its beginning
today . . '
Never before have riders of such note been entered
at any Klamath Falls Rodeo. In addition to the local
crop of aspirants there are men from every state in the
northwest, men who make their living on horseback and
whose recreation is found on the hurricane deck of a
bronk afflicted with nothing but a keen desire to heave
his would-be rider into the mesquite.
Msanv Rirlpr Entered
At noon today more than 30 riders were entered in
the bucking contest for the championship prizes. This
vear the three riders who battle their way to the award
on the final day will split $1000 between them, more
money than ever offered here for this event before.
Not to be forgotten in the galaxy of male riding stars
is Lorena Trickey of Prineville, champion cowgirl of
the world, who has entered her own relay string and
her own Roman Race string.
"Whirlwind Annie" V
Competition is promised Miss Trickey in the person
of "Whirlwind Annie," as Miss Annie Bernard is known.
Like Miss Trickey, Miss Bernard is new here.
According to the directors there will be no delays
this year. Every event will go off on schedule time and
there will be no delays in the program.
