Tommy and Beverly Steiner, to-j producers, said the public's in-1 terest in rodeos has been brought about by "national rodeo cast ex-I posure last year and the great number of western shows on TV.

The cowboys also have sensed this increase in public appreciation and interest and are performing with the competitive spirit of college athletes in all events." The Steiners said that with prize money for the rodeo at well over $10,000 the public will be treated to "some hard and stick-to-it riding competition" here especially in the saddle, bareback and bull-riding events. "We have supplemented our stock with fresh animals that have been running footloose and free on our Bar-S Ranch at Austin, since last November. Because most of them haven't been in a holding pen since our final rodeo last fall, we are expecting nothing but sheer defiance when they break from the chutes." The Shreveport rodeo, which opens on Wednesday, will be headlined by Dale Robertson, television star of "Wells Fargo." He will ap- pear at all pertormances of the rodeo here. 31 rs.
