MAN VERSUS BEAST 



While "Below Decks" Is 



THE NAVY TAKING ON FRESH BEEF 



As they play this sport at Pendleton, steer bulldogging is one 

 of the most novel and man-nervy feats of the Round-Up. The 

 steers often big, strong, four year olds have often won out. . 



Roy Hunter, the cavalryman, to the astonishment of spectators 

 and judges had sprung a surprise, by jumping his steer, forcing 

 its head and horns suddenly down into the ground, causing it 

 and himself with it, to turn a complete somersault plumb in front 

 of the grandstand, while Roy lay smiling amidst the debris, the 

 steer bulldogged flat out in the best time that year of 24 1-5 

 seconds, but the judges disqualified his throw for "hoolihaning." 

 The contest of the "man versus beast" is a dramatic moment, 

 when Hunter with a gradual weakening is being dragged around 

 the arena track in the famous epic of this game described in this 

 chapter. 



Yakima Cannutt the big buckaroo and winner of the world's 

 steer bulldogging championship in 1920, when he bulldogged two 

 steers in just 1 minute and 1-5 second, the first in 28 1-5 seconds, 

 the second in 32 seconds flat, decided, that during the war he'd 

 serve in the Navy. He considered two world championships on 

 the hurricane deck of a bucking bronc would well qualify him to 

 ride the waves or buck any sea his country might require — so he 

 jast slipped down to Pendleton for the Round-Up to take on d 

 little "fresh beef for the Navy."
