And Eb and Curly would be the jockeys for the momentous occasion. As Eb weighs 235 pounds without his cowboy 'boots, and Curly is 200 pounds in his T-shirt, they evened things up, without consent of their horses, by each using a stock saddle, wehrht about 50 pounds. Surrounded by thirty or so friends and well-wishers the twain waited Sunday with strained but tons for the starting gun, and Bang!! they were off, for the ',4-mile ',4-mile event. Van Warnick was starter but unfortunately saw nothing for dust. Also his mount wanted to join the excitement and leaped into a bucking buck-ing spree. Oscar Kelly was judge, unbiased, they say in this delicate situation. Nothing was reported on time for the dash, except that they used a calendar instead of a stopwatch. stop-watch. Oh yes, Eb's horse won, by a neck, and the argument still rages. Iteifci Lsuly Lions Il&st Itisaiier Meet The Lady Lions entertained their uu uo cu, js.a...
