By MURRAY SINCLAIR Nogales, Sonora, Mexico -- Once the gals who liked cheers, gla- mor and excitement found it sing- ing with a band, or swimming a | channel, or becoming parachute jumpers. . There's a new appeal now south of the border. Bullfighting. Managers of Mexican arenas say they are receiving an increas- ing flood of letters from Ameri-| can girls wanting a chance to be- come toreros. One instructor says he's had more than 100 inquiries, all expressing willingness to risk their lives in the ancient art Some became interested when Patricis McCormick of Big Spring, Tex., Began drawing crowds larger than all but lead- | ing matadors in border cities. They weren't discouraged when she was badly gored in the Ciu- dad Acuna ring across from Del Rio, Tex., last September. Other girls have been attracted by the success of Bette Ford, a former New York model who has been pleasing aficionados with her close fighting since last July. THREE NEWCOMERS Three American girls faced bulls for the first time before 2000 fans in the Plaza de Toros hi some time ago. ey were Ruth - Massey, 21... of Anaheim Calif.; Julta Burnett, 21, of Paso, Tex., and Colleen (Ann) Davis, 22, Phoenix, Ari. Each was knocked sprawling by an 800 pound bull. None showed fear. All expressed determination to continue training. Miss Massey is a chunky, 5 foot 4, blue eyed brunet who spent a year at Fullerton (Calif.) junior college and another at Long Beach college, She had trained five months before her first fight, tak- ing instructions from Alejandro del Hierro at Juare. across the Rio Grande from El Paso. "It was different from what 1 expected," she said as she left the ring. "You have to get the bull much closer than I imagin- ed. When he hit me. T was sur- prised, but not afraid." She watched a professional in action for a few minutes, then added: 'Perhaps it is going to be more difficult than I thought, but I still wamt to do it." MAMA DOESN'T KNOW "What does your mother think of your ambition?' she was ask- ed "What would any think?" she answered, Single, without a steady boy friend, she had been fascinated by bullfighting since she was 13. Julia Burnett, a 5 foot, 104 pound youngster with dark blond hair, probably created three sur- prises by her Nogales appear- ance: (1) She said her parents had no idea she had been train- ing since September to be a bull- fighter, (2) officials at Texas Wes- tern college in El Paso, where she is majoring in English and history, didn't know, and (3) del Hierro, her maestro, hadn't given permission to fight. "I just sneaked off," she said. "I'm not ready for this. I know it, but 1 couldn't resist." Until September she had her mind set on writing for a car- eer. "Then I saw a sorry bullfight," she said. "Perhaps it was cen- ceit, but I was sure I could do better. Now I wonder." Miss Burnett's boy friend is an architect "He appreciates that I can see beauty in the ring," she said. "He doesn't approve, but he doesn't try to stop me. He fears I'll be hurt." BULL WINS BOUT She suffered a sprained ankle when knocked down, but said, "certainly I'm going ahead." Then, after a pause, she added: "But if he'd had big horns, 1 wouldn't have a right ear now." Miss Davis was born in Sioux City, Iowa, but has lived in Phoenix since she was 10. A wil- lowy 5 feet 7'2 inches lass with blue eyes, she wears her hair pulled behind her ears and tied at the back She had only four hours prac- tice behind her when she stepped into the ring. Almost immediately the bull struck her a vicous blow, bending her almost over his horns before throwing her to the ground "This was a test," she said. "If you are frightened when you are knocked down, they don't want you. I wasn't.' She attended high Phoenix, has no friend, and has ballfights "I was sick at the first bull fight," she said. "I left after. one bull was killed. I just couldn't mother school in regular seen only eight ¥i | béton (stand any more. I was also fas-, | cinated. Now I see it is something | artistic and beautiful." 'NOT FOR WOMEN' | Alejandro del Hierro, who! | trained Patricia McCormick and | is now teaching Misses Massey | and Burnett, says he has receiv-| ed letters from more than 100 | American girls who want to start | training. | The story of the coed seeking to enter the ring is also an old one to Pedro Gonale, owner of the | Plaa de Toros here, and Don Juan Bilbao, impressario of the | Juare ring. Nor is it new to man- agers of arenas at Matamoras, | Villa Acuna, Piedras Negras and | Tijuana. | Gonale and Bilbao believe | | Miss Ford (born Betty Dingdel- | dein in McKeesport, Pa.) will be the greatest of the current crop | of lady bullfighters. But they dis- | agree as to whether women be- | long in the ring in the first place. | "They cannot fight the biggest bulls," maintains Bilbao. "Those | | are for men. Women should fight | bulls that are 2 and 3 years old, | never more than 3%. "Women are as brave as men, perhaps braver. But if a woman insists on a big bull, she is in- sisting on trouble." - Gongalez said, "Women don't | t ® in the ring. If they are go- ing to fight, they should fight on horseback as they do in Spain. They should leave the fighting to men, all of it." | | _Gonale contends that Misses | {Ford and McCormick have been | drawing large crowds because | people '""come to see them getf| | killed." | Miss Ford claims history proves women have a place in Dulifighty) ing. / "The first bullfighters were | women," sle says. "The# fought on the island of Crete/ in 1,000 B.C. Perhaps earlier. I believe it was part of a religious ceremony, and the bulls were not Killed. "Women are as artistic and graceful as men. I believe they are as brave. Can you ask for more?" Mother Of 18, Stork Derby . . Winner Dies OAKVILLE, Ont.
