WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 11 AWAIT GREAT RODEO CLASSIC Chicago to Be Scene of Western Contest The olympic of western life and tra- dition, what the world series is to base- ball and the derby is to the track, that is the rodeo, the great annual event of cowboy sports which decides the championship titles in broncho riding, steer wrestling, trick and fancy riding and calf and trick roping. Deprived for years of a sporting contest of na- tional importance, Chicago this year and for several years following, will be the scene of this great western spectacle. More than 100 cowboys and cowgirls, champions and contestants, in the rodeos at Cheyenne and Pendleton and other western contests and in the in- ternational championship contest held at Wembley, England, a year ago, will ride into the Grant park stadium on August 15 to compete for nine days for $30,000 in cash prizes and the world's championship titles and belts. In the chutes, stockades and picket lines will be hundreds of head of stock, the most notorious of the outlaw broncos for the riders and the sturdiest and most savage of brahma steers for the bull- doggers. Symbolic of the making of the West, the rodeo to the cowboy is a serious business, one to be trained for as care- fully and conscientiously as any game gridiron or field faced by the college athlete. To the men and women of the range and chaparral a champion- ship title is to be frought for as gamely and to be prized as highly when won as the laurels of Tilden or MacFarland. The rodeo is the epic of their own Sports, an event in which the hottest rivalry has burned for decades. ; But let Tex Austin tell about it. Tex knows his rodeo contestants like Walter Camp knew his material, self and once well, Austin ha boy sporting e the world. a rodeo contestant as s produced more cow- . It was he who took the rodeos to New York and then on across the water to Wembley, where the con- test became an international sensa- tion over night, : he one sporting event that is truly American all the way through is the way Austin looks at the rodeo. Notre Dame may clash with California and the Navy row it out with Cornell at Poughkeepsie, but Tex allows there is more genume spirit of contest more Sportsmanship in one bronk bucking or steer bulldogging contest, than a whole full football schedule. And after talking with him, it must be believed he expressed not so much his own Views as the reflected spirit of - the cowboys and cowgirls themselves. When Austin, as organizer and di- rector, undertook to bring the world's championship rodeo to Chicago under the auspices of the Association of Com- merce, he made it known in no un- certain terms that the cowboy roundup Was a contest in every sense, not a wild west event with the elements of the circus in it. The rules he has made vents than any one in | All-American | A rancher and rider him- | are the ones under which all rodeo contests are run off and they are writ- ten from the angle of the sportsman. What is more, not only must the con- testants meet all their expenses during the competition, but they must pay stiff entrance fee: as well. When a covii.and en ozes in nine days of rodeo under Austin's eye, he knows he has been in a contest. "There is no other sport in the world which calls. for the same en- durance, gameness and skill and the same rivalry in competition," Austin said this week, as he paused between odd jobs at the stadium, where he is superintending the great task of sur- rounding the classic structure with the atmosphere of the genuine west. "No athlete, even filled with college tradi- tion, ever goes in with more deter- mination to win--and do it quick." ..
