...with "grub." A rodeo cowboy gets no salary at all. He pays his own traveling expenses, hotel bills, entrance fees (sometimes as much as $100 for one event). If he competes at calf roping, he has to pay the feed bill and transportation cost of his specially trained horse (even more necessary to a calf roper than trained ponies are to a poloist). If he competes at steer wrestling, he has to hire a "hazer" (a mounted assistant to flank the steer going out of the chute...

Deeply concerned with detours of nerve paths and battles of brain cells, he knows that a long chain of simple injections, or the sharp bite of a surgeon's knife into...
