Page 8 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, I DECEMBER .5, 1974 Rodeo, an American sport Requirements similar to major sports By KAY MCMULLAN Special to the Batt Many of you may wonder whether rodeo is an art or a sport. If you will take the time to ask any rodeo lover this question, he will quickly tell you that “Rodeo is America’s No. 1 Sport!” Rodeo takes skill, practice, con centration and time just as football, tennis, baseball, basketball and others. In professional ranks, rodeo is widespread and exhibits some of the highest paid competitors of any sport. Rodeo officially enrolled in col lege in August 1949 with the birth of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) here at TAMU. The first national student president was a TAMU student Charles Ran kin. A&M produced another na tional official when Nick Burnham was student president last year. Membership for this constantly growing association numbered 2,286 students for the 1972-73 sea son. The purpose of forming this as sociation, according to the NIRA rule book, is “to promote college rodeo on a national scale as an or ganized, standard sport represent ing an educational institution on in dividual campuses throughout the nation.” Member cowboys and cowgirls travel at their own expense to com pete in these NIRA shows and since the intercollegiate rodeo season, unlike other collegiate sports, runs Which a Bacardi for screw drivers? Bacardi light rum’s subtle flavor won’t overpower or get lost in Screwdrivers, Bloody Marys, Martinis or tonic. Just use it like gin or vodka. BACARDI®ruin. The mixable one. from September through June, the member schools are put into regions to furnish travel ease and less inter ference with academics. As a result, the United States is divided into 10 regions. TAMU is in the Southern Region which takes in the eastern half of Texas and lower Louisiana. The other regions are as follows: Southwestern (western half of Texas, southern Oklahoma, New Mexico), West Coast (California, Arizona, Nevada), Big Sky (Mon tana), Central Plains (Kansas, Neb raska, Northern Oklahoma), Cen tral Rocky Mountain (Wyoming, Colorado), Great Plains (North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Min nesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Northwest (Washington, Oregon, northern Idaho), Ozark (Arkansas, top portion of Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee and everything east of these) and Rocky Mountain (Utah, Idaho). As stated in the by-laws of the NIRA, to be eligible to rodeo in NIRA approved rodeos, a student must be carrying at least 12 hours of college work and maintain a C aver age. There are nine approved events for these college rodeos. The women’s events are breakaway rop ing, barrel race and goat tying. The men’s events are bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, bull rid ing, calf roping, team roping and steer wrestling. At the end of the season, the top two from each region in each of the nine events, the all-around stand ings and the team standings are qualified to go to the College Na tional Finals Rodeo (CNFR). This is based on a point system where an individual tallies up points earned in his best five rodeos. A person may qualify for the CNFR as an individual or as part of a team. The teams consist of six men and three women. The CNFR held in Bozeman, Montana for the last four years takes place each June. The awards at the finals range from scholarships to belt buckles and from boots to trophy saddles. The TAMU Men’s Rodeo Team won the Southern Region champ ionship last year by beating their biggest rival, Sam Houston State University, by some 300 points. This victory is similar to winning the Southwest Conference in football and is something of which to be proud. The winning men’s team consists of the following cowboys listed with their respective events: Doug Adams — Bull riding and saddle broncs, Terry Chapman — bull rid ing and saddle broncs, Jerry Hayes — calf roping and steer wrestling, Les Mason—bareback broncs and saddle broncs, Tim Roberts—steer wrestling and Mark Tillman—calf roping. This team traveled to Bozeman last summer and participated in the CNFR held at Montana State Uni versity on June 22-27. A total of 57 colleges and universities were rep resented at the CNFR by teams and individuals. 232 students entered. Bowling club to hold rolloff for team spots The Texas A&M Bowling Club will hold a24-game rolloff Jan. 14-16 at the MSC lanes. The rolloff will be held to determine the bowlers who will make up a team to represent A&M at the Texas Intercollegiate Bowling Conference (TIBC) meet. The early date for the rolloff was set to avoid conflict with the TIBC meet, held at Soutliwest Texas State in San Marcos on Jan. 18. The rolloff will consist of eight games each day. Top bowlers will be eligible to represent A&M at the state meet. Depending on the results of the North Texas State meet to be held on Dec- 8 as many as six spots may be open. Twelve bowlers will be selected in order to provide alter nates. All full-time students are eligible for the competition. Students com peting must pay the standard 45 cents per game. The bowling club is also holding a fund drive. Four bowling balls of professional quality were donated by Pepper Martin of Columbia In dustries, San Antonio. Chances to win the ball are being sold for 50 cents. Chances may be purchased from any bowling club member.
