Denver January 14. The nation’s No 1 rodeo cowboy, Jim Shoulders of Tulsa, Oklahoma, keeps a sponge in the seat of his pants to help stay put in tight leathers. At 21, Shoulders is viewed as the favorite to win among 260 cowpokes at the National Western Stock Show Rodeo, having earned 21,800 dollars in 1949 riding bareback drones and Brahms bulls. He learned to ride by falling, carries his rigging in a cheap canvas sack, and plans to keep rodeo as his life work despite the smell of horses.
