Long Neck. No one bites steer lips any more, but last week, at the annual rodeo at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo, one cowboy was far and away the foremost master of the rest of Pickett's technique. James ("Big Jim") Bynum, 38, three times (1954, 1958, 1961) world's champion bulldogger, has dominated the sport with his 250-lb., 6-ft. 4-in. frame for more than a decade.

His roommate, Ronal Bonebrake '63, an end on the varsity football team, was the passenger with him and suffered mainly slight cuts in the mishap...
Prizes of $200 were awarded last week to both Bynum and Harvey, who were named the Coolidge Prize Debaters at a meeting held in the Ames Court Room. The award is annually given to those chosen as the best undergraduate debaters...
