Schramm won a sportsmanship trophy. SpAROtDNCg ON For Akbar Tizpas karate class, the word unity means a lot. The class went to the University of Utah karate tournament Saturday and came home with 28 trophies. The small group of 21 did very well at the 200 competitor tournament. Because there was no crowd support for the contingent from Price, the classmates had to rely on team support, which was shown through an occasional pat on the back. We basically monopolized the tournament, Tizpa said. I feel that the kids especially showed confidence. Tizpa told of how two opponents of his students stopped dead in their tracks because they were scared. SaTUIuU)' The group came home with seven sportsmanship trophies. We showed the true spirit of karate, Tizpa said. We went to show skill not necessarily to win. I am very proud.
