He shouldn't be surprised, though, if his friends are a little skeptical. After all, he has retired three times before. ; , Mr. Chambers is now a teacher-coach at Howard University in Washington, D.C. He has been coaching 52 years, the last 31 with Howard. "I like to be active," he explained. "I imagine I will work as long as they want me. Presently, he , said, his main duties are in the classroom, class-room, although he is (he assistant as-sistant soccer coach at Howard, How-ard, a university which takes -its soccer seriously. It is the defending national champion. cham-pion. ., In the past, he has coached just about all sports. "All American sports," he said. "You know, those that are traditionally American." He was the head football coach when he started at Howard. Then he listed the other sports he had coached there baseball, track, swimming, basketball, soccer, cricket. Cricket? Not exactly the traditional tra-ditional American sport. "I coached cricket sort of by accident," he said. "I did so well with the soccer team, which had several foreign students, the university felt I could work with them in cricket. I didn't find it that much different from baseball." base-ball." Mr. Chambers, who has two daughters and eight grandchildren, keeps active with his church work, too. He is assistant treasurer of his church and says, "the finance fi-nance committee there keeps me going." In addition to his coaching-teaching duties at Howard, How-ard, Mr. Chambers has been conducting a first aid course and lifesaving as a volunteer with the Red Cross for 40 years. He doesn't talk as if he is ready to quit his Red Cross duties anytime soon. "I just finished a comprehensive review re-view course in lifesaving," he told a writer with The National Na-tional Council on the Aging. No one could be better prepared to teach lifesaving. Mr. Chambers is one who has practiced what he has preached. Last year, atthe age of 74, Mr. Chambers saved a student's stu-dent's life. "I've dragged a lot of people out of the water I) ) - I X I v .

"He drops by to visit me once in awhile,". Mr. Chambers Cham-bers said. "He's doing real well 'in school. Going to be an engineer." That is one young man who is certainly happy Mr. Chambers has not stayed retired. THE COUNCIL of Better Business Bureaus passes along this warning from the Consumer Product Safety Commission: .

" , Operation Snowlif t in Innsbruck Last week organizers of the Winter Olympics began trucking approximately 200,000 cubic feet of snow into Innsbruck, Austria, in order to save the games scheduled to open Feb. 4. With the first competition just three weeks' ' away, warm winds and a sparse snowfall have left many of the Olympic ski runs as green as , they are in summer and organizers have launched laun-ched "Operation Snow Lift" to cover the slopes with imported snow. The imported snow will have the effect of making the runs faster than usual. Karl Heinz Klee, the secretary general of the organizing Committee said, "We are not worried about staging the games properly."

The 28 year old Calif ornian fired a closing round 63, which gave him a 72-hole total of 274, 14 under par and three shots better than runner-up Howard Twitty. Miller began the final round tied for second with British Open champ Tom Watson, Wat-son, one Shot behind Tom Weiskopf, who eventually even-tually finished third at 278. Howard Twitty, a 1972 graduate of Arizona State, also had a final round 68 to win $22,800, his biggest paycheck since joining the tour last year. The victory, worth $40,000 to Miller, boosted his. career earnings to $987,152, and he needs only $12,841 to become golf's ninth and youngest millionaire.

'Upless weather conditions change in the next few days, cisco fishermen may face the same problems they dealt with in 1975 little, if any, ice and windy conditions. These conditions are much more advantageous to the cisco than to the fishermen. Dexter Pitman, Division of Wildlife Resources Northern Region fisheries manager, said that the cisco can make their spawning run on Bear Lake any time between Jan. 6 and 19. "They typically arrive on the eastern beaches around the 10th or 11th of the month. The numbers continue con-tinue to build for four to six days, reach a peak and then gradually decrease. The total run lasts 12-16 days,". Pitman said. Last year cisco fishermen produced a small, harvest. The smaller-than-usual take, however, was not due to lack of effort on their part.

Not 3 : Sunday afternoon in the spacious confines of Miami's Orange Bowl, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the defending World Champions, will meet the Dallas Cowboys for that coveted title of "Super Bowl Champs." Millions of fans across the Country will tune in to watch the highly touted battle which culminates the Professional football season. In the past, the Super Bowl game itself has not always been a well played contest. Fumbles, pass interceptions, and missed assignments have frequently turned the tide and eventually spelled defeat for the losing team. On the other hand, fantastic plays can switch a team's momentum in a split second The athlete responsible for an electrifying run, a superb catch, or perhaps a blocked field goal attempt quickly earns a title that sounds so-o-o-o-o good; he is. known as " the game breaker." Let's take a look at a few key positions for both teams; players who could rise to the occasion and pull off that "super play." If it wasn't for a miraculous catch by the Cowboys' Drew Pearson against the Minnesota Vikings, the Dallas Team would not be in Miami this week. ' Quarterback Roger Staubach also has a sure-fingered sure-fingered receiver in Golden Richards, who can turn on the speed once he has the football. The Cowboys will, of course, try to establish a running run-ning game with backs Robert Newhouse, Doug Dennison, and Preston Pearson carrying the mail into a curtain a steel curtain to be exact. If in fact, the much ballv-hooed front four of Pittsburg stifles the Cowboys running attack, Pearson coming out of the back- cht end Jean Fugett. passing situations, the Cowboys will quite often work from the shotgun formation. One player whom Staubach must keep an eye on is the National Football League's Defensive Player of the Year, cornerback Mel Blount, who picked only was Franco the second leading rusher in the NFL this year, but he always plays well in the big games. Harris is fast out of the backfield and almost impossible to bring down alone. Quarterback Terry Bradshaw is once again enjoying a fine season and he will not hesitate to run the ball if his receivers are covered. In the AFC Championship game against the Oakland Raiders, Bradshaw took a good lick on one of his keepers and was immediately "seeing stars" in the midst of a snowstorm. Nevertheless, he is a capable runner and will roll out and keep it if he is forced to. Wide receiver Lynn Swann has fantastic speed and could break the game wide open if Bradshaw connects on a long one. In a championship game such as this one defense is always crucial and the heart of a good defense is the linebacker. The Steelers have three all-pro linebackers in Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, and Andy Russell. They will spend the afternoon trying to outguess Staubach. : - The Cowboys' defense is centered around all pro veteran Lee Roy Jordan. " t Will the Pittsburgh Steelers repeat as Super Bowl Champs or will the surprising Dallas Cowboys, with impressive victories ; over the Vikings and Rams, pull off one more miracle? No one knows, but we do know one thing for certain. As dusk settles over the Orange Bowl late Sunday afternoon, one athlete will have in his possession the game football, awarded to him for an outstanding performance. Not only will he wear a Super Bowl ring for the next year, he will also wear a most prestigious title: they will call him "the super game breaker."
