New stock may help CSUF to catch up in rodeo
As in any other sport, rodeo requires
physical fitness and facilities to obtain
that fitness.
But there is a unique intangible to
rodeo - live animals all capable of killing
a rider should he make a mistake.
So, in order to minimize the mis¬
takes which might be made in the actual
rodeo, a team should be able to get as
many, kinks out as possible before¬
hand. Most teams do that by the use of
practice stock. In using their own bulls
and horses to sharpen their skills in the
arena, riders can all but eliminate injur¬
ies and at the same time perform well.
That combination of performance and
safety usually leads to a good team, and
has developed Hartnell Junior College
and Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo into two of
the most prominent schools in the
Western region.
Another school in the region hoping to
gain such prominence is CSUF. And a
large step in that direction is the acquis¬
ition of 21 bulls and 7 horses, a step
which the rodeo team at CSUF feels will
eventually bring their program to the
level of the other two.
The acquisition was brought about by
Dennis Hollnagel, CSUF's stock con¬
tractor - and the owner of the stock.
A team member up until two years
ago, Hollnagel has been president of
both Modesto JC and CSUF's rodeo
clubs. In that capacity and as a team
member, he said he "realized the im¬
portance and need for the team to prac¬
tice" and in 1977, contributed a few
horses to the CSUF club. The animals
were his and with them he started the
Double D Rodeo Co. along with the
Drewry brothers from Northern Califor¬
nia With "most of the financial help"
from the brothers the company grew
larger and afforded Hollnagel the chance
to contribute the practice stock he felt
CSUF needed so badly
Had he had the bulls available earlier,
CSUF still could not have used them.
There were no pens to house them in.
To remedy the situation the rodeo club
built new pens last year in what Holl¬
nagel called "a tremendous student
effort on behalf of the rodeo club."
"There is no real school funding here
compared to Hartnell and Cal-Poly,"
Hollnagel said, referring to the means
by which those schools obtain their
stock. Hartnell is supplied by the rather
large - compared to Double D - Flying
U Rodeo Co. The company donates the
animals for the students' benefit
and reaps the rewards as well. The stu¬
dents serve as trainers for the animals
and the stock is then shipped back to the
parent company for use in the profes¬
sional ranks, as well as in other capac-
Being such a small company, Holl¬
nagel and Double D can't really afford to
'donate' the stock. So Hollnagel and the
students have an arrangement: the stu¬
dents use the stock and in return pay for
the feeding and upkeep of the animals,
"lit worked out to about MO a month per
student," Hollnagel said. 'Those bulls
eat a lot.*
It is a small price to pay in comparison
to the earlier alternatives, when" the
stock wasn't available. 'In order to
practice, students had to travel two
hours north to Oakdale or even further
south to Santa Maria," Hollnagel said.
"The cost was too much and it took too
much time "
The stock, Hollnagel says, is not res
tricted to rodeo team or even dub mem¬
bers. "Anybody who wants to can use
them," he said. And the new stock has
not only encouraged riders to come to
Fresno (CSUF currently has two trans¬
fers from Hartnell) but has enticed stu¬
dents outside the area of agriculture as
well.
Of the stock. Hollnagel says the team
can "fit a rider to the animal." A new¬
comer is put on board a gentler animal
whereas an experienced rider is placed
with a feistierone. "A student can learn
without getting killed," says Hollnagel.
Cagers win season opener
With the price of beef already high
and the demand for horsemeat excess¬
ively higher than a few years ago -
"Because of human consumption a
horse now runs $500, compared to
$75 10 years ago" - it is hard to pur¬
chase more stock. But Hollnagel says as
soon as they build more pens out at the
arena, located at Bullard and Chestnut,
he will contribute some more.
"You can't put new stock in with the
old because they will fight," Hollnagel
says. "You can add a coupl. of horses in
with the bulls or bulls with the horses
but any more than that and they will
hurt each other."
Considering that the only stock the
team had before Hollnagel stepped in
were calves furnished by the calf-ropers,
any more stock can only be gravy.

Other standouts could include junior
forward Trent Tucker (10 points per
game last season) and newcomers Ben
Coleman (6-9), Zebedee Howell (6-7)
and Andy Thompson (brother of former
Copher and current Portland star
Mychel Thompson). The Colden
Gophers do haye a weakness at guard.
Minnesota beat Eastern Michigan
77-56 in their season opener Friday night
Marquette could be the quickest team
the Bulldogs will face this season. The
perrieriial powerhouse (22-7 last season)
has one of the finest college guards in
the land in 6-5 senior Sam Worthen.
Worthen averaged 12 points per game
last season and set a school record with
209 assists. The quick as a cat guard is
also a fine defensive player.
Michael Wilson is Worthen's running
mate at guard. The 6-3 sophomore is
notorious for stopping the opponents'
top outside scoring threat.
If Marquette has a weakness it is in
the middle where only- 6-6 Robert Byrd
returns from last year's starting team.
The junior forward led Marquette to a
75-36 trouncing of Eastern Montana with
a 20-point effort in the Warriors season
opener at Milwaukee.
The Minnesota game can be heard on
KMJ-AM (580) at 5:50 p.m. tonight and

Lucky rolls and doubling cube makes
Babcock winner in backgammon tourney
Senior P.E. major Clay Babcock came
from behind to win the first CSUF
Intramural Backgammon Tournament
in the advanced division. Freshman
Business major Mark Spector captured
the beginner's section title last Wed¬
nesday. •
The advanced section finals were held
over until Thursday due to a misunder¬
standing. Babcock's opponent, fresh¬
man Civil Engineering major, Vachik
Javadian, had been declared the winner
Wednesday night and had already col¬
lected his prizes when tournament offi¬
cials realized Babcock had only lost one
match, and since they were playing
double elimination where a player must
lose two matches before he is out of the
running, a rematch was set up the' next
During the rematch, Babcock got off to
a slow start. At one point, the score was
eight to four, in favor of Javadian who
needed only one more game to win the
match. At this point Babcock landed
some lucky rolls, and using the doubling
cube, which doubles the winner's score
automatically/ managed to beat Javi-
dian, winning the championship.
*l came up with some pretty good rolls
at the end and that's what saved me. At
that point everything seemed to be
going my way," said Babcock, who
began playing backgammon two years
ago.
Beginner's section winner Mark
Spector, who said he started playing
backgammon when school started,
thought he wouldn't win against junior
Agriculture major Kirk Reichter.
'I didn't think I was going to win
because the odds were, against me. I
had to win two out of three matches
Kirk only had to win one for the cham¬
pionship,* he said.
Officiating at the tournament were
Val Valverde, assistant intramural rec¬
reation director, and Alicia Crumpler,
recreation supervisor.
'Over the summer he held a back¬
gammon tournament with just em¬
ployees. We thought It was fun and
decided to expand. Hopefully, we'll
have one every semester. The tourn¬
ament is open.to any CSUF student,
staff, or faculty,' said Crumpler.
