 101 RANCH RODEO GROUNDS profited by the bad weather of last
week. When there was too much ice and snow to work on city streets,
crews were busy hauling and spreading sand on the arena. This view
is looking north from the chutes and shows, on the right, the
condition of the field after the sand has been spread. It is
believed. this will keep the arena in better condition if it should
rain during rodeo, as it did last year. Then it was necessary for
city to scrape and haul mud off before the rodeo could begin.

BIGGER, BETTER 101 RANCH RODEO WEEK AWAY
Three-Day Cowboy Exhibition Here Opens
Thursday at Renovated 101 Rodeo Grounds - Rodeo - America's most
competitive sport!
The cowboy contestant - independent and proud,
finds a challenge in making his own way solely on ability, tempered
with luck.
The daredevil competitive instinct of cowboys
developed two of the major events in rodeo today - bareback riding
and bull riding. You'll see them at the 101 Ranch Rodeo, three
nights beginning Thursday.
In bareback riding the rules are stacked
against the cowboy. They are all in favor of the horse. To even the
odds, the contestant must depend on instinct and his own strength.
Both the bronc and the rider are scored: the
bucking from 65 to 85 points; the rider, his spurring and general
control from 1 to 20 points.
The same rating is used in saddle bronc
competition. The cowboy has more equipment, which may be hazardous.
The stirrups can help the rider, but become dangerous if the
cowboy's boot hangs up in one. The rider can be spun round and round
if his foot does not slip out of the stirrup.
Horse and cowboy are a team, in calf roping.
They work independently, yet together, to beat the stop watch.
Training gives the horse "cow sense" so he can judge the calf's
speed and anticipate his movements.
Without this "cow sense," the
contestant has little chance of ending up in the money.
Steer wrestling, or bull dogin, was developed
at the 101 Ranch and now is one of the five standard events in
rodeo. It pits nerve and know-how against animal instinct. It is one
of the toughest events in the professional sport of rodeo. Each
steer wrestler must work out a style of his own, figure how to use
the weight, balance and momentum of the steer to his own advantage.
Bull riding is the finale of the 101 Ranch
Rodeo.
There is excitement and tension behind the
chutes as well as in the spectators. The eight seconds the
contestant must stay on board must seem like eight hours.
The daring and skill of the bull rider is
always a spectacular event. The bulls are chosen for their ability
to be rough, bucking, twisting, hooking, spinning devils.
The bad movement comes when the cowboy leaves
the the bull, either from choice or because he is bucked off. The
bronc, as soon as the rider is off his back, will try to avoid the
cowboy.
Not the bull.
The bull remains enraged, turning on the
contestant who has just left his back. Many a cowboy has been saved
from serious injury by the quick and courageous work of the clown,
who comes in to attract the attention of the bull away from the
rider.
Rodeo - the rugged sport which pits the daring
and skill of the cowboy against the devil that is in every bronc and
bull and the animal instinct and strength of calf and steer.
Queen Candidates To Display Horsemanship
Before Judges - Horsemanship of the eight queen candidates
for the 101 Ranch Rodeo will be judged as they put their mounts
through the American Quarter Horse Association reining pattern
No.1.
Junior Butler of Woodward, who judges many shows
in this area, will be the judge, Robert L. Whitworth, secretary
of the Ponca City Rodeo Foundation, has announced.
Judging will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday in the rodeo arena, and
the queen will be announced during the rodeo that night.
All persons holding rodeo tickets for that evening will be
welcome to watch the horsemanship judging.
The
rules and regulations of the AQHA will govern the judging.
The judge has the authority to require the removal or alteration
of any piece of equipment or accoutrement which, in his opinion,
would tend to give a horse an unfair advantage.
Any inhumane equipment will be scored accordingly.
Faults which will be charged against the horse are: opening
mouth excessively in bit reining; breaking gaits; refusing to
change leads; anticipating signals; stumbling and falling;
wringing tail; bouncing or sideways step and backing sideways.
Faults that will count against the rider are changing hands on
reins; losing stirrup; two hands on reins at any time and any
unnecessary aid given by the rider to the horse--such as
unnecessary talking, petting, purring, quirting, jerking of
reins, etc.--to induce the horse to perform will be considered a
fault and scored accordingly.
For bit reining, horses will be ridden with
grazing, snaffle, curb, half-breed, bar or spade bit. No wire
curbs, regardless of how padded or taped, or no chin strap
narrower than one-half inch or no nose bands will be permitted.
Whether tie-downs are permitted will be at the discretion of the
judge.
Movie, Television Singing Star To Perform in Person at Rodeo
 Rex
Allen, America's singing cowboy, needs no introduction to the
millions of people who have seen him in movies and on television and
heard him on his Mercury recordings.
He will be the
featured star of the 101 Ranch Rodeo here next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
His thousands of fans in this area will
have an opportunity, to see and hear him in person, Fans have been
captured by the songs sung in the inimitable Rex Allen style. In
1962 the cowboy singer once again soared to the top of the nation's
hit charts when he strummed his guitar and sang his now famous
platter "Don't Go Near the Indians".
The Rex Allen
success story began in Willcox, Ariz., where he was born on a
typical western ranch owned by his father. To Rex, singing was
always the natural way to express his feelings, but his horse and
the cowhands on the family ranch were his only audience.
On his 11th birthday, his father, "a music lover
who played the fiddle," bought Rex his first musical instrument--a
Sears-Roebuck guitar and a book of instructions. Within a few months
the talented youth was singing and playing his guitar at local
church functions and benefits. Upon graduation
from high school, Rex turned down a scholarship to the University of
Arizona to take up the rodeo trail. The next two years he rode wild
horses and roped cattle with the best hands of the West.
As a sideline, the blonde six-footer entertained fans with his songs
and guitar.
Rex left the rodeo-circuit and after
months of singing for anyone who would listen, he landed his first
professional singing job on a Trenton, N. J., radio station.
In Match 1945, he was auditioned for the National Barn Dance Show on
radio station WLS and was hired as a regular on the show. Within a
few months he became one of the biggest stars in the history of the
show.
Hollywood beckoned in 1949 and Rex signed a
contract with Republic Pictures. He and his famous horse Koko
galloped through a succession of successful western thrillers.
The popular screen favorite then starred in his own popular TV
series "Frontier Doctor."
Although Rex no longer
competes on a bucking horse, he still loves the competitive thrill
of the big western rodeos.
"I love the personal
appearance dates at a rodeo or fair more than anything else in my
career. I love people and I love to be with people--I guess I'm
still a country boy at heart.
I enjoy television and motion
pictures, but I love to get back to 'my people'--country people,
particularly when I am swapping stories with the real westerners,
the cowhands behind the chutes at a rodeo," he said.
A CHALLENGE TO A BURRO riding contest has been i thrown at
the Noon Lions, winners of the Golden Boots in the 101 Ranch Rodeo
wild cow milking contest last year, by other civic clubs. Defeat and
the roaring boasts and brags- have not been easy to ignore and
overlook. Rumor has it that the Ambucs expect to win the coveted
trophy as Johnny Heinze bribed Katy with sugar to tell him the
secrets of sticking on. the back of a burro. The question now is:
Will Heinze be disqualified because of the bribe? - See story Below.
CIVIC CLUBS NAME RIDES FOR NIGHTLY EVENT
BURROS TO RACE AT RODEO - It has been conceded that the Noon
Lions have the most “know how”—or luck – when it comes to milking
wild cows.
But, are their representatives able to
ride a burro? Members of five other civic clubs say
“No.” They have challenged the Lions to a burro riding contest to be
held during the 101 Ranch Rodeo Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Three different teams will race Thursday and Friday nights for
go-round honors. The two winners will ride it out Saturday night for
the prized trophy – the Golden Boots.
It will be a
long race so luck cannot play too much of a part in the outcome.
Riding skill and instinct will be the deciding factors.
Jim Shoulders, world champion cowboy who has some of the best
bucking stock in the country, is stock contractor for the 101 Ranch
Rodeo and will furnish the stock for the burro race.
The race will start from down In front of the chutes, the rider
going to the north end of the arena. Here his partner will climb
aboard with him and they will spur their burro and dash back to the
finish line at the chutes.
The Noon Lions have been challenged by the After Five Lions,
Kiwanis, Rotary, Ambucs and Jaycees.
Five of the clubs has named their two burro riders
and one member to hold the animal before the beginning of the race.
The Jaycees have yet to find a member capable of
making friends with a burro and holding it. They also lack two
experienced burro riders. It is expected that contestants will be
drafted at the Monday evening conclave.
The Noon Lions expect their superiority in the rodeo arena to be
upheld by Dave Burrow, George Page and Lowell Brown.
Kiwanis Club challengers are Harold Younger, Bob
Peck and Pat Schlesinger, with Arnold Cupples as an alternate.
Schlesinger has named himself “holder of the burro.”
Riding and working for the After Five Lions will be John Smith, Dr.
Jerry Trotter and Ray L. Peterson.
Rotary will be
represented by Warren Jackman, Dr. Gus Kever and Bill Wetzel.
Ambucs have been the loudest challengers as they have Johnny Heinze
on their team. Heinze claims to be an authority on burro riding
since he bribed Katy to brief him on the finer points of the sport.
Other members of the team are Richard Buerger and Bill Leonard.

this week for the first time, have perfected the art of Brahma
bullfighting to a thing of precision timing and footwork. They spice
their work with antics and remarks that keep audiences laughing.
Their experience in the rodeo arena has given these young men a
knowledge of the Brahma. The brothers work extremely close to the
bulls, relying on footwork and judgment to get them out of trouble.
At its best bullfighting. is a dangerous business and Bobby and Gene
have received numerous bruises and fractures during their rodeo
careers. The clowns are not strangers to the contest side of the
rodeo. Bobby is a competent calf roper and Gene competes in calf
roping and steer wrestling.
COWBOYS VIE FOR $350 SADDLE IN BRONC RIDING CONTEST HERE - A

ENTHUSIASTIC 101 RODEO FANS GREET REX ALLEN,
THRILL TO SPILLS
 Burros
Win Falls Over Civic Clubs - Fast action, suspense and good
entertainment were all present in the arena at the opening of the
seventh annual 101 Ranch Rodeo. Thursday evening.
The
response of the crowd to cowboys, Rex Allen, western singing star
and the Men of the West, and the clowning of civic club members and
the professional bullfighters gave evidence of Thursday evening
being one of the most successful nights of the 101 Ranch Rodeo.
Tonight's performance will begin at8 o'clock. Pre-rodeo
entertainment will be the the Swingin' Conners.
The
cowboy parade will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
First
suspense Thursday evening came during the bareback riding contest
when Jim Hill, Enid, was thrown by Pretty Boy and could not get up.
Rushed to the Ponca City Hospital, his injuries were found to be
minor was able to return to the rodeo grounds.
Escapes Injury - Another Cowboy, Jerry Pardue of Carlsbad,
narrowly missed serious injury, when the Shoulders' bull,
Exterminator, threw him and spun to butt and stomp him. Pardue was
able to walk out of the arena with help.
Rex Allen and His Men of the West brought thunderous
applause. Allen will sing a different program each evening at the
rodeo. Following his appearance, he will again ride around the
arena, shaking hands with the many young people eager to meet him.
The radio, television, movie and recording star will give autographs
after the rodeo. The burro race among members of the
Jaycees, Rotary and Noon Lions Club proved hilarious for the
spectators, but rather serious business for the riders.
Animals Trained - Assured by Jim Shoulders that the burros
were well trained, gentle and liked to be ridden, the bucks and
antics proved a surprise.
At one point there was some
sentiment to give it to Warren Jackman of the Rotarians "for the
most falls." But the Jaycees came in the winners, the
two riders lying across the burro rather than astride it.
Tonight the After Five Lions, Kiwanis, and Ambucs will be riding.
The winners will be pitted against the Jaycees Saturday evening.
John Gray of the Jaycees team is leaving town immediately and his
place Saturday will be taken by Sid Kothe. Other members of the team
are Jess Terpening and Kit Ramsey with Sid Kothe taking Gray's
place.
Parade on Grand - The western parade
will form at the rodeo grounds at 9 a.m. and move down Union to
Grand, where it will turn and go east to Seventh.
Preston Moore, Democratic candidate for governor, is flying to Ponca
City to participate in the western parade, it was announced Friday
morning.
The Marine Corps is furnishing the color
guard and bearers. They will be mounted on horses for the parade.
There will be riding clubs from many communities surrounding Ponca
City and from as far away as Oklahoma City.
To
conclude the activities of the seventh annual 101 Ranch Rodeo, a
western dance will be held at the VFW clubhouse, beginning at 10
a.m. and continuing to 2 p.m. It is sponsored by the Jaycees.
August 29, 1966
PONCA CITY COWBOY AMONG EVENT WINNERS
“Heiliger Captures All Around Title at Local Rodeo” - Fewer
than 30 cowboys divided the more than $6,000 prize money given at
the seventh annual 101 Ranch Rodeo which closed Saturday evening.
More than 70 went away empty handed, with nothing to show for the
entry fees they paid.
Bob Williams, Ponca City
cowboy, was bareback champion, winning the first and second
go-rounds and the average. He came in second on the third go-round.
All around champion, competing in two or more events, was Del
Heiliger of Fort Worth who won more than $300 in bareback and saddle
bronc. His wins placed him on top in the race for the
$350 silver-mounted saddle given by Jim Shoulders to the cowboy
riding in all of the Shoulders-produced rodeos this season and
winning the most in saddle bronc competition.
There was less than $50 difference between Jimmy
Rogers, Hawkins, Tex., and Heiliger, the two top contenders for the
saddle, when the 101 Ranch Rodeo opened. The rides here decided the
winner.
Two events paid off $618.80 each—calf roping and
steer wrestling. Winners, were Kenneth Keller of Hurst, Tex., in
roping and Billy J. Nockolas of Bartlesville in doggin’.
Mac McDougal of Burkburnett, Tex., with his ride of 62 on Martin
Luther, took home the top money in bull riding, $510.80. No Ponca
City cowboy made a qualified ride.
The Kiwanis burro
riders won the Golden Boots trophy for the civic club, defeating the
Jaycees, who protested the decision. However, no re-rides were
given.
PAT SCHLESINGER, burro holder for the Kiwanis Club, hurries
after the riders, Jud Ellenwood and Bob Peck, who struggle to stay
on until the finish line is crossed Saturday evening at the 101
Ranch Rodeo.
Responsibility of the burro holder was
not only to hold the burro for the riders to climb aboard, but also
to assist in any other manner necessary. The Kiwanis club won the
Golden Boots Saturday, defeating the Jaycees, who protested that the
Kiwanis riders made a short ride.
JENSI FRONKIER, 1965 queen of the 101 Ranch Rodeo, enacted
the part of the Indian maiden as Rex Allen, singing star of
television, movies and radio, sang the story of an Indian lad and
his love at each of the three performances.
