Baggy Pants Kids
Play Dual Roles
Entertain Crowds and
Protect Cowboys
The outlandish colored shirts
and ridiculous, baggy pants of
the rodeo clown, more than a
laugh-provoking costume, nre re
spected badges of a rare kind of
courage.
Clowns in rodeo are not only
specialists in comedy. They are
there to prevent tragedy. They
are brave men first and funny
men only secondarily. And the
real reasons for their presence in
the arena the brahma hulls
are no laughing matter.
The rodeo brahma is probably
the most murderous of all the
world’s domesticated animals.
They are the only animals in rod
eo that can be ragarded as inten
tional killers. Although they are
rather docile in the pasture or
holding pens, separated from the
herd and turned out of the chutes,
they fight with everything they
have—their huge, banann-shaped
horns, their slashing hooves, their
tremendous, one-ton bulk.
Despite their size they are
quick as a panther and just as
mean. They hold no fear of a
man mounted and will attack a
horse without hesitation.
For that reason mounted pick
up men can't be used to help the
riders in bull riding, the moat
dangerous of rodeo’s five stand
ard events. The bulls simply
won’t let horses get close.
To escape the hull’s murderous
charge, whether he bucks off at
the end of the ride, the hull rider
has to rely on a fast set of legs
—and the courage of the rodeo
clown. •
The clown moves in to distract
the bull to let the bull rider get
to the fence. Often his job is com
plicated if the rider, injured in
the fall, is unable to run. The bull
takes after the handiset target so
the clown must be in close when
the rider goes down and, worst
of all must stay in close until the
cowbov makes good his escape.
Often you'll see the wildly
garbed clowns competing in the
contest events wrestling steers
or riding the bulls. Put few con
testants have nnv desire to tTarte
jobs with the rodeo clown. His is
a lonely profession.
