ROY ROGERS CALLS TURNS FOR RODEO SPLASH PARTY good television turn deserves an other try. That's why Roy Rogers’ underwater rodeo, a highly diverting and successful show of last season, will be done again this Sunday night on NBC. “The Second Annual Aqua rodeo," with Roy and Dale Evans, his wife, as hosts and narrators, is not a repeat. It is a new show done more ambitiously than the first, with improved tech niques in underwater photog raphy offering more exciting closeups of the skin-diving cowboys in action. Originating at “Marine land of the Pacific,” the full hour show in color will pre sent the underwater cowboys roping, riding and wrestling sharks, sea turtles and whales. Trained porpoises and seals will provide the comedy relief for an unusual presentation. What about Roy's famous horse, Trigger? He'll be tethered out of camera range. No flippers for him. It’s not in his contract. 4 A isl 4SI' J’wWsr < > > < &
