Lee Cockrell
Top Roper In
Amarillo Event
Lee Cockrell, who has
a farm, nine miles west
of Panhandle, is still the
king of the calf ropers.
Cockrell and Jim Bob
Altizer of Del Rio, pro-
bably the two best ropers
in the world, met in their
first two-man match on
Sunday at the Will Rogers
Range Rider’s Arena,
west of Amarillo.
Cockrell’s time for
roping and tying ten cal-
ves was 147 seconds. Al-
tizer’s time was 154.1
seconds.
An estimated 600
people paid to watch
Cockrell and Altizer.
Both men have defeated
Dean Oliver, the world’s
champion rodeo calf ro-
per in matches. Meither
man follows the rodeo
c.irrcuit closely enough
to accumulate the points
necessary for a cham-
pionship.
Cockrell, who started
roping. on his grand-
father’s ranch, near Pa-
mpa, roped in high school
and won the national col-
legiate title. The last
match he lost was in 1954
when Sonny Davis de-
feated him. Nolan Poteet,
Panhandle, arranged the
match on Sunday.
Altizer beat Dean
Oliver by 4.7 seconds a
year ago, while roping
twelve calves, and Cock-
rell had only beaten Oli-
ver by 2.6 seconds, so
there was much interest
in the match.
