fancy roper.
Every rider and other contestant
was out to win. II the bucking
broncs were not vicious enough, the
riders called for new mounts. The
bulldogging was fast and furious and
the result was that only two -tenths
OF a second separated the first -four
men who were declared the winners
of prizes.
The steer roping got under way
with the time very close to the old
worlds record. John Judd, who
set n new worlds record Of 10 Sec
onds, had hard luck with his steer
Friday. He roped and threw the
steer in record time. but the steer
arose and ambled off down tho field.
Johnny remolnted and again dump
ed the steer. but he lost precious sec
onds and the result OF his hard luck
was hat he lost the chance to win
the championship. His record 10.
coupled with his slow 36 Friday. was
bettered by w others who averaged
less ON the two tries.
