The 13th Police Rodeo is sche- duled for this area, beginning July 30. The Pennsylvania State Police Field Exhibition, or Rodeo, as it is popularly known, is a free show. Expected to play to more than a quarter of a million people between July 30 and Aug. 23, the exhibition will play at Scranton, Plains, Hazleton, « Lewisburg, Altoona, Chambersburg and Hershey. All shows start at 8 p.m. The State Police Rodeo had its beginning in the early 1920's as an intra-troop competition to demonstrate such skills as horsemanship, marksmanship, gymnastics, coordination. and discipline. Through the years there were many ties in the formal contests and the com- petition gave way to a demon- stration and exhibition that has become the Rodeo. | This free show ‘has been presented to millions of Penn- sylvanians since it began. Each year it plays to a different part of the state. A typical program opens with a fancy horse drill...32 mounted men executing a series of move- ments and patterns without command. This is followed by a trained dog act. The handlers climb ladders, burning hoops and roll barrels. A modified dressage ex- hibition usually follows the dog act. Four or five specially- trained horses demonstrate the natural gaits, mount pedestals and even lie down with the riders in the saddle. - One of the Academy firearms instructors shows off his skill with a pistol by breaking balloons attached to a whirling rack. He further thrills the crowd when, with a pistol in each hand; he breaks two free floating balloons at the same time. The horsemen demonstrate skill and teamwork in several jumping events—through flaming hoops—in teams over a complicated course of hurdles— even over an automobile. The saddle acrobatic team provides its own special thrills for the audience when the young troopers perform almost im- possible feats on horseback. Such things as the cossack drag, saddle stand, neck lay, fender drag and the shoemaker’s delight are just a few of the tricks that seemingly defy the laws of gravity and common sense. The motorcycle, like the horse, is no longer used as a regular patrol vehicle in the State Police, but it played an important role in the history and heritage of the organiza- tion. The motorcycle trick riders perform a variety of stunts on their two-wheeled steeds. Some of their tricks are the wheel-barrow, belly- bumper, tulip, two-man stand and a jump through a flaming finale is to put 13 men on one motorcycle and ride around the arena. The 16-man motorcycle drill team demonstrates teamwork and timing when they tool through an intricate set of manuevers, just inches apart. The most spectacular move- ment of the motorcycle drill is the four-way crossing. From the four corners of the field the riders converge on a spot at the center and filter through to the opposite corners. Scant milli- meters separate the roaring bikes at the center point. The fast-paced hour and -a half program is liberally laced with « short clown acts. Costumed as hoboes, hillbillies and cowboys, the clowns burles- que a shooting contest, and cavort around the field in a bucking, diving model T and on motoreycles. The Pennsylvania State Police Rodeo is a horseshow, circus, safety education program, police skills, ex- hibition, motorcycle thrill show and a gymnastics demon- stration all rolled together. The Police Rodeo will begin its tour at the Scranton Memorial Stadium, Providence Road, in Scranton on July 30 and 31; on Aug. 2 and 3, the Rodeo will be in the Plains High School Stadium on Abbott Street in Plains; and the Harmon Geist Stadium, between Wyoming and Cedar Streets in Hazleton will be the scene of the All shows begin at 8 p.m. and are free to the general public. fourth, and Mel Reed of Susque- hanna fifth.

This coming Friday -evening another big triple header show is on the slate with the m-s running a 30 lap feature, the tigers a 12 lapper, and the late models gunning for the honors in their ® 30-lap midseason championship. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. with race time set for 7:30 p.m. x 7 Legion All-Stars Include Novroski Greg Novroski, of the Har- veys Lake American Legion baseball team, has been selec- ted to the Wyoming Valley area legion All-Star team.
