and second high naan,” said
the proud veteran coach.
Smith, who has had more
teams in the top five than
any other 4-H livestock
coach in Pennsylvania, was
unable to attend nationals
with the boys because of a
convention at Penn State. In
lus place he sent Gary Dean,
Strasburg R 2 assistant coach
who has beep training with
the boys since the beginning
of the summer. Smith,
however, remained in
contact with the team via
telephone.
In total, the team was first
in sheep judging, fourth in
swine, second in cattle, and
fourth in reasons. Their
combined scores tallied up to
2092 points, a mere five
points below the first place
Illinois team. For Smith,
who has never had a first
place team at nationals, this
narrow margin was hard to
take. Dean also felt the
disappointment of missing
such a close, yet far away,
victory.' However, both
coachs expressed their
overall sentiment as ex
citement and joy that the
team, as a whole and in
dividually, had done so well.
Rchrer, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jay H. Rohrer,
Manheim R 7, had judged the
most consistantly of the four.
In the different species
judging, he took first in
cattle, sixth in sheep, and
fifth in oral reasons, along
with taking the first place
overall.
Rohrer has been gearing
up for this contest for four
years now, starting in
competition when he was 16.
Then he was a member of the
junior livestock judging
team. An ardent advocate of
4-H, Rohrer has said of the
contest, “Judging gives you
the expertise of choosing the
right terms, saying your
reasons smoothly, and
handling yourself with
poise.”
According to Smith, this
ability of Rohrer’s to express
himself with a well
developed vocabulary was
one of the key points to his
success at nationals.
“I would say that to a
certain degree he has a
natural eye for judging
animals,” said Smith* “and
he has developed the ability
to do it quickly. He’s also had
four years of training to
develop his vocabulary.
Between these two, he’s a
first rate judge.”
Rohrer, himself, admitted

that it was a close scoring
contest, and the team
members could either make
it or break it in the reasons
room. As a whole, the
reasons room is what put the
team in second place.
“We outplaced the Illinois
team,” says coach Dean, but
they outtalked us.” The
average score per individual
in the reasons room was 44
for Illinois and ap
proximately 43 for Penn
sylvania.
Brubaker, who is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde
Brubaker, 2418 Harrisburg
Pike, had a lot at stake when
he went to nationals.
“His dad placed third in
nationals,” says Mrs.
Brubaker, “and when he left,
Ken said he was going to
beat that record.”
Ken verifies that
statement. “I said I’d beat
him for the last four years
that’s what I’ve been
working toward” said the
enthusiastic 4-H’er. He was
so excited the morning of the
awards banquet when his
name was announced m
second place that he couldn’t
contain himself. “I just left
out a holler,” he says, “and I
think I embarrassed Gary a
little.”
The titles to his name,
along with second high man
overall, are second place
judge m sheep, ninth place
judge in cattle, and sixth
place judge in reasons.
Overall, in every contest
Rohrer just barely edged
Brubaker out of the higher
place ranking.. In reasons,
they tied, but Rohrer had
dropped fewer points in
placing, so he got the next
higher ranking. Overall,
Brubaker was only six points
behind first place.
This is not Brubaker’s first
high placing. He was in
dividual high man at state
competition in August. And,
for two years in a row, he
was high individual and high
man in oral reasons at the
Block and Bridle Club’s
Little International junior
show.
“For me, it comes easy,”
says Brubaker, “by now, it’s
like a second language to
me.” He also lauds Smith
and Dean for their tre
mendous coaching.
Also judging for the
Pennsylvania team were
Tony Eberly, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Mahlon Eberly, Denver
R 2, and Robert Hess, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Hess,
Lancaster R 2. They both
