ard of rope, saddle and riggin'
began to climb as the ankle

l)ints before the season was

A Cowman's Cowboy
Thirty-one-year-old Rmbo is
a cowman's cowbos$ Born and
raised ou a cattle ranch in Cen-
tral California, he learned t
ride ]nil thr'ow a rope almost
lff,.,'e he learned to walk. He
entered his * first rodeo arena
when he was 16. In the early
days Gene rode Brahma bulls
and won this event at Houston,
Texas. in 1944. Although he 'ex-
celled in this as in all the other
slxn't., Gene was smart enough
to realize that to get to the top
and slay on top he had to take
care of himself. The big bulls
stiffened him, slowed him up in
bronc riding and spoiled his
speed and timing in roping. So
he gave it up. It is typical of
Gene that once he has made a
decision he never looks back.
The record of this 180-pound,
5 feet 10 inch super-cowboy de-
fies comparison with the greats
lefore him. Traveling 35,000 or
40,000 miles a year, pulling his
horse trailer behind him, Rambo
has competed in rodeos from
Calgary, Canada, to Texas; from
Madison Square Garden to the
final windup of the season at
San Francisco's Cow Palace.
Handicapped by not being able
to fly from show to show as
tile riding specialists do, Gene
still managed until his retire-
ment to take in an average of
40 shows a year, working about
4 events in each one. During his
career in bronc riding alone,
over 2iX)0 of the wildest bucking
horses in the World have felt
his spurs, and so remarkable is
lie at staying in one piece that
the most serious injury he ever
suffered in the arena was from
a bull he was merely watching

Joe Louis on the Side
Tllere is a parallel between
an all-around cowboy champion
anti a l)entath]on champion.
There are men -who specialize in
high junu), others who are tops
in the 10t)-yard dash, some who
throw weights and others who
pole vault. But you sehlom see
a weight-thrower who could
also win the high jump. ImaD
ins a pentathlon contenderwho
had to compete with Jesse
Owens in his specialty, Glenn
Cunningham in the mile and,
say, Joe Louis thrown in for
kicks. Yet that is precisely
what Gene Rambo has done and
done successfully in maintain-
ing his title. Take Cheyenne,
Frontier Days, in 1948. After
five days' competition by the
world's top specialists Rambo
was first in bareback riding,
first in calf roping, second in
steer wrestling. Or the Cow
Palace. San Francisco, 1946.
After the 14 perfm'mances Gene
was first in saddle bronc riding,
Virst in calf roping, first in steer
wrestling. The man was simply

so good, s, versatile, that it
didn't seem fair to the others.
Rambo is now content to rest
on his laurels and on the money
he ltas made. The big shows,
like the Calgary Stampede, Pen-
dleton and Cheyenne, would still
be glad to pay his entrance fees
--seve'ral hundred dollars for an
all around hand like Gene--just
to have him in the arena. But
Gene is satisfied to let someone
else have a share. At 31 he fig-
tires he's getting too old for the
game; he wants to live awhile,
to eljoy his wife and his chil-
dren, and to lie in one piece to
do it.
No Deal with Holhvood
%'ith his ,winnings Gene ha,
bought two nice cattle ranches
in Monterey and San Luis Obia TM
po counties. A (licker with Hol-
lywood ended in a bust. They
wanted to tie him tip to a long
term contract, tell him what
horses he wouhl ride and how
to ride them. He laughed in
their faces and took himself to
his range. He is a hard man to
interview because he doesn't
like to talk alxmt himself; when
he does he is modest and un-
assuming.
He can address a Rotary Club,
a stage or radio audience with-
out being the least ruffled. }{is
close friends have found no evi-
dence that Gone has a nerve in
his body anywhere, But his slow
dral and easy grin don't fool
the boys who have to compete
against hit]]. No man in the his-
tory of the musctetearing, bone-
crushing rodeo g a m e ever
moved fter, spurred harder,
or had more iron determination
and spirit than this real king of
the cowboys

Mrs. R. L. T. of Boston, Mass.,
writes "Deal" Mr. Criswell: I was
left alone and penniless at tile
age of sixty three. All doors of
employment were closed to me
because of my age. I turned to
the only thilg I knew, china
painting, but when I painted, I
painted small nudes in 1890 back-
gi'oun(ts. Soon I had all that I
could do, and this has saved me
from starvation. Many have criti-
cized me for thi, daring venture,
