A.pxi\ “Vh\ ^3 Rodeoing requires money, talent By Laura Hatch Battalion Reporter For many urban cowboys, the rodeo is a once-a-year event — a chance to dust off the hats and boots and take pride in being a Texan. But for members of the Texas A&M Rodeo Club, it takes a lot of money, brains and skill to live the life of a cowboy. As one member put it, "You either win or quit or have a rich dad." Many colleges help pay for students, through scholarships, to represent their school in col legiate events, club member Don Connell said. But this University doesn't. "Texas A&M has been ranked in the top for years," he said, "but we get no support from the school." To help out with the costs, some students are lucky enough to get scholarships from the N.I.R.A. sponsors like the Mil ler Brewing Company or U.S. Tobacco. Gil Stoner, club member and competitor in the team roping event, has been on scholarship for two years now and went to the national finals in 1979. To compete in intercollegiate rodeos, cowboys must maintain a 2.0 grade point average and be passing at least 12 hours. So it takes a lot of money and good grades to rodeo. What else? Some events, such as team roping or women's barrel racing require of skill. Other events take more courage than eny- thing else. Riding a mechanical bull only gives a person an idea of what it's like to ride a real one. "They're good to practice on," Connell said, "but they can be predicted and they're not going to come after you once you're been thrown." Riding the real bulls is a diffe rent story. Various hand grips help the cowboy stay on. Some, for ex ample, use a grip leaving a bub ble in the strap, Hackman said, so when the bull expands the strap won't cut the circulation off. Others, like club member David Pronger, prefer a tight grip all the way around. No mat ter what grip a person uses, Pronger said, "if you want out of it bad enough, you can get out." Once the cowboy has been thrown, his troubles may just be beginning. "I'm not sure if they (the bulls) want to get you or if they're just scared," Pronger said. No matter what the reason is, the rodeo clowns can be a cow boy's best friend. Pronger has been riding bulls for about eight years, he said. "I started riding steers when I was 10 or 11 and then I changed to Oilers meet Aggie stars on basketball court By Jane G. Brust Battalion Staff Several members of the Hous ton Oilers football team will be in College Station Tuesday night. But they won't be appear ing on Kyle Field — they won't even be playing football. Instead of facing competition like the Dallas Cowboys or the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Oilers will meet the Aggieland All- Stars in a basketball game spon sored by the first-year class of the Texas A&M University Col lege of Veterinary Medicine. The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Joel Krekbelberg, a public re lations spokesman for the Oil ers, said the following players on the Oilers basketball team are scheduled to play: Mike Rein- feldt, Greg Stemrick, Ronnie Coleman, Carl Mauck, Mike Barber, Robert Brazile, Tim Wil son and Gifford Neilsen. Krekbelberg explained that 15 Oilers are on the basketball team roster but only eight appear at each game. The team was orga nized several years ago to act as a public relations arm of the Houston Oilers. "They raise money for diffe rent groups," Krekbelberg said, "and it keeps players in condi tion." -The Oilers will sign auto graphs during halftime and photographs can be taken dur ing the game. The Aggieland All-stars team, cheered on by the Texas A&M yell leaders, will consist of Uni versity and community players including: Head Football Coach Tom Wilson, Aggie football players Curtis Dickey and Jacob Green, Assistant Basketball Coaches David Goff, Barry Davis and Randy Knowles and several vet school students. Also on the Aggieland roster are: Bill Creeden, headmaster of Allen Academy, and Larry Brown and James McManus, head basketball coaches of Bryan High School and A&M Consolidated High School, re spectively. Jim Hudson, a first-year vet student, said the project will help the class pay for the vet school's annual barbeque. Each fall the second-year class hosts a barbeque to welcome the first- year students. Tickets are available in the Rudder Box Office. 50C DRAFT BEER Sunday Nights 5 p.m.-Midnight woodstone commerce center on hwy. 30 bulls once I got into high school. "I'm not real sure what makes me do it," he said. "Most bull riders are thrill seekers, I guess." Bull riding is not the only dan gerous event, Connell said. Steer roping and other events can be just as dangerous. There are lots of ways a person can get hurt. "I've seen people get their fingers torn off when they get caught between the rope and the steer," he said. The N.I.R.A. rodeo this $3500, will have about 300 parti cipants. Preliminary competition starts Friday. The rodeo starts Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and finals are Sunday at 1p.m. in the Equestrian Center arena at Tur key Creek Road and FM 2818.
