SPORTS Aggie Rodeo Team Goes To Arlington For First Contest The Aggie Rodeo team travels to Arlington State College this week end for the first National Inter collegiate Rodeo Association rodeo of the year. They will compete against 13 other teams from mem ber schools of the NIRA southern district. A&M’s team consists of Lynn Turner, Keith Kid well, Jay Jones, Bobby Kheudasil, Eddie Rosenber- ger and Everett Farthing. Tom my Holiday will make the trip as team alternate. Nine other rodeos at various colleges will follow the Arlington rodeo throughout the spring. Each team is composed of six members who may enter any of the six rodeo events. The cowboys are competing for individual and team honors at each rodeo. At the end of the season the top two cow boys in each event plus the cham pionship team go to the NIRA finals rodeo held during the sum mer. This season the Aggie Rodeo As sociation, which sponsors the ro deo team, has changed the method used in selecting the team. In the past the team has been selected by popluar vote at the rodeo club meetings. In an effort to im prove the rodeo team this year, the club selectedi a five-man “coaching staff” to judge the cow boys and choose the team. The “coaching staff” is made up of Ken Dorris, Jim Bower, Jerry Young, John Foster and John Young. These men have all had wide rodeo experience but are not eligible for competition this spring. r COPY9IGMT © 1961, THE COCA-COLA COMPANY.
