They stage an Old Man’s Roping contest. You can’t enter until you’re 50 years old. By then— judging from their enthusiasm— you’ve got the bug so bad you can’t quit. This is no mere exhibition, either. The old timers haul their roping horses from all over Texas, some from as far as 500 miles away. And they do a young athlete’s job of roping the calves that ex-rodeo roper Juan Salinas hauls in for the contest. They flat aim to win. Each over-50 contestant must rope six calves. The one with the lowest total of times wins the $200 saddle that Salinas puts up each year as first prize. Usually about 15 of the old timers show up— which means that each one must rope his half dozen calves in the space of just a couple of hours. The roping is continuous, there are no rests. It would be a stiff afternoon’s work for a cowboy of half 50— but the majority of the old timers are still trim and tough. Most Oceanography Prof To Speak Apr. 26 Robert O. Reid, professor of oceanography, will speak April 26 at the Engineering Mechanics Con ference of the American Society of Civil Engineers in Austin. He will discuss a test of the “Harmonic Method of Evaluatibn of Tides in a Branching Estuary System” at a symposium on wave motion. The two-day conference is being held on the University of Texas campus. Co-sponsoring the conference are Texas Tech, Texas Western Col lege, Southern Methodist Uni versity, Rice University, University of Houston, the Southwest Re search Institute, Texas Suction of the ASCE and the Central Texas Branch, American Meteorological Society. ride regularly, although not all are in the cattle business. Al most without exception they were rodeo ropers in their youth and still love to rope. Calf roping, as cowboys all agree, enslaves some men the same way golf or poker does others. So wide has the fame of the Encinal contests spread that rop ing enthusiasts from all over Tex as come to watch. They line the big arena, located on Salinas’ ranch, and watch from behind the wheel of their cars. When one of the ropers makes a particularly fast catch and tiedown the horns honk in blaring unison, as a spec tacular kind of applause.
