Rodeo is alive and well
The “A in A&M stands for ag
riculture, so it should not be a sur
prise to find that the Texas Aggie
Rodeo Association is one of the
largest and most active extramural
clubs. The Club has about 100
members which includes 40 girls.
Out of these, 45 members ride
rodeos. The Club can only sponsor
one 6-man guys team and one
3-man girls team. Everyone else
must enter individually.
The teams are picked by the
Club’s officers and advisors on the
basis of points scored throughout
the year at rodeos. Rodeo events
fo| boys are bareback riding, calf-
roping, steer wrestling, saddle-
bronc riding, team roping, and
bull riding. Girls compete in
brei ik -away roping, goat tieing,
and barrel racing.
The top two teams and the top
two individuals in each event from
region go to the National Intercol
legiate Rodeo Association national
finals rodeo in June. A&M, as al
ways, will be going to Boseman,
Montana, with Sam Houston as
our region’s top two teams.
The Club itself has parties,
rodeos, team rodeos, and a
superstar competition among its
members like the IM superstars
competition. Club members have
no set time to practice rodeo
events, but spectators are wel
come to come to any rodeos the
Club participates in. Members do
not have to ride to join the Club,
but if they do, they may compete
in NIRA for four years.
The Club goes to 12 rodeos a
year, nine of which are in the
spring, and sponsors three of its
own — the IM All Aggie Rodeo,
and an NIRA event in the spring
and fall. The spring rodeo will be
April 28, 29, and 30 at the new
Equestrian Center on EM 2818
and Turkey Creek Road. On Fri
day, the 28th, there will be an 8:00
performance. Saturday’s agenda
includes a cowboy tennis tourna
ment, an 8:00 performance, and a
party afterwards. Sunday at 12:00
p.m. will be a BBQ dinner and the
short-to (that’s rodeo talk for the
finals). Awards will be given at
4:30 Sunday afternoon. The public
is invited to all the weekend’s
events.
On May 6 Sam Houston and
A&M will ride in a matched rodeo
at Simpton. The two are rivals (like
tu and Aggies in football) and are
nearly always the top two teams in
the region. The match is tradition
between Sam Houston’s varsity
scholarship riders and A&M’s
pay-your-own way team.
So ya 11 come and have a great
time and think about joining next
year, If it s activity you want, the
Rodeo Club has got it;
Wrestling wrap up
IM has retired its mats for the season and offers congratulations to a
score of guys who are the new IM All-University class A champs. So,

If you are good at shooting mov
ing targets, A&M has an ex
tramural club for you — the Skeet
and Trap Club. Skeet and Trap
shooting consists of shooting mov
ing clay targets from various pos
itions in relation to the target.
The Club has 60 members, only
ten of which shoot competitively.
The Club and team practice on
weekends, Saturday and Sunday,
from 2:00 p.m. till dark and on
Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00
p.m. till dark. The Club rents
practice space on private land off
of Highway 6 near Hearne.
A&M can sponsor five-man
teams for competitions and others
can compete individually. Com
petitors pay their own expenses.
The team placed fourth last year in
national competition and placed
second in 1975 and 1976. The
number one team has been Trinity
College in San Antonio, A&M’s
only competition in Texas. Be
cause of this and the expense of
going out of state, the Ags get very
little practice at competition until
the intercollegiate shoots. Occa
sionally Baylor has a few entrants,
but their shooters are on varsity
scholarship, as are Trinity’s.
The Club’s major events are the
National Rifle Association ?one
shoot which was April 1 and the
Intercollegiate National Shoot
which will be April 19 - 23 in
Peoria, Illinois. To qualify for the
five-man team, individual compe
tition scores for the year are total
led to find the top five shooters.
Other members can go for indi
vidual honors. There are national
awards in both overall team and
individual events.
Competition is in four events.
American Skeet is where the gun
is in position at the shoulder and
targets are thrown when called for.
International Skeet starts with the
A member from the Aston basketball team shoots during their All-University champ
ship game against the Nailers, a men’s independent team.
Tumbling, tumbling... C
gun on the hip. The targets are
thrown faster and there is a vari
able 0-3 second delay after the
targets are called for. In American
Trap the targets rotate in being
thrown to the left or the right. In
International the height thrown is
also a variable. The American
events have classes by skill and
experience — A, B, C, and D.
International events are open to
everyone.
Spectators are always welcome
at shoots and at practice. New
members are always being re
cruited. Old members are glad to
teach newcomers and help them.
. TThe men’s gymnastics club gt
A&M is really just now getting its
start. This year is its first year to
have a coach and for the guys to
“learn" something and not just
work out individually. The Club
has about ten members interested
in competing and they will com
pete against Steven F. Austin,
which has a varsity team, later this
month.
There is some intersquad com
petition as the group learns basic
routines. Most of the Club mem
bers are beginners. Practice times
are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fri
days at 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the
, gymnastics,roam on the third floor
of the G. Rollie White Annex.
There are six events for compe
tition in men’s gymnastics. The
basic ev ent is floor exercises which
is a combination of tumbling
moves and runs. At the present,
the group is learning set basic-
routines. The men s bar is another
event consisting of an 8-foot high,
one-inch diameter bar on which
the guys perform tricks using their
arms as they swing under, over,
and around the bar. Basies include
handstands and changing hands
during swings. Rings are sus
pended from the ceiling and are
the 1 east stable equipment tot
on. This is where the anmn
have to support all the hoi
weight. Parallel bars are two
of equal height and a shou
space apart. Tricks are done
ally with hands on both fca
body weight evenly distribu
The other two events are the
and pommel horse.
The guys are trying a littlef
everything. Judging in gymi
is on form, precision, and,I )f
tinuity. Spectators are always^ ^
come to come watch and the 1*1
is always looking for new®
bers.

“I SPY’S PARTICIPANT” OF THE WEEK
Noel Weddington performs a routine on the rings as part of his workout with TAMU’s
extramural gymnastics club. Noel should come by the Intramural Office in DeWare Field-
house to pick up his “Be Our Guest’’ card to be redeemed for free food at your
local McDonald’s restaurants.
The all-university basketball
playoffs were close, exciting
games. You’ve got to have great
teams playing in the end when 520
teams started out the season. The
evening of March 30 saw the men’s
A and B and women’s A competi
tion. It was an action-packed
night.
The Nailers met the Aston Lone
Stars at 8:10 in a long, exhilerating
game. Jim Ogden was the high
scorer during the first half for the
Nailers. The Lone Stars had two
leaders in scoring for the entire
game, Robert Lopez and James
Siegfried. The half-time score was
Aston over the Nailers 21-18. The
second half saw the Aston squad
spreading its scores out over all its
members as Ogden was joined by
the Nailers' Steve Kruger as he
proceeded in continuing his scor
ing streak. The Nailers evened the
score and earned an overtime with
a 39-39 score. The two-minute
overtime saw Aston score only one
point as the Nailers edged passed
by five to win 44-40.
In women’s class A competition,
the BSU #1 played the Mosher
Pistol Petes. Mosher’s scorers for
the first half were Kay Cannon,
Valerie Pehacheak, and Linda
Dieken. BSU’s scorers were spread
out and led by Beverly Baum and
Lisa Reed. Halftime saw Mosher
trailing 10-21. The second half was
Mosher’s second wind as the BSU
continued scoring by all its
players. Mosher’s Dieken and
Pehacheak danced over the court
making most of Mosher’s 20 points
for the second half. The final score
was a triumph for BSU — 35-30.
Men s class B competition
matched the Twits against Ag
ronomy. The first half saw high
scoring by the Twits Monty Hall
and Martin McCord. Agronomy’s
John Sadler and Jon McMenamy
led their squad in the points race
until halftime, when the score
stood 18-21 in favor of the Twits.
Agronomy slowed down during
the second half and switched high
scoring positions to El wood Black
and Ken Launeas. The Twits
added Ray Henley to their high
scoring staff to beat Agronomy
39-29.
