Show Page 6 Wednesday, April 28, 1976 WaDdmaini Woods Ate Hninldl' Ryin)dlyp imw Gwp mm by Bill Roland Larry Ziegler, a ten year journeyman on the Pro golf tour, sank a nasty, testing, three-foot putt on the final hole to nail down a victory in the New Orleans Open and win the $35,000 first prize. The easy going Ziegler credited four chip-ins during the tournament as the turning point. "I chipped in four times this week twice on .Thursday and twice on Saturday. That's a difference dif-ference of maybe eight strokes. That's what won the golf tournament." Maybe so, but Ziegler had to hold off the challange of Vic Regalado, who closed to within a single stroke with a birdie on the 16th hole, held his position with a scrambling par on the 17th and had already make par on the 18th when Ziegler, playing in the same threesome, left his first putt some three feet short and had to sink the knee-knocker to win the title. NBA Playoffs The professional basketball playoffs are producing some pretty rugged battles with no teams giving up and lying down. On Monday evening Detroit edged the Golden State Warriors to tie their semifinal series at two games apiece. Also on Monday evening, the Washington Capitals defeated Cleveland and sent their semifinal series into a seventh and deciding contest. The Boston Celtics have a 2-1 edge over the Buffalo Braves but meet the Braves in game four tonight in Buffalo. Last night in Phoenix, the Suns and the Seattle Super-Sonics met in their 6th game with the Suns holding a 3-2 advantage going into the contest. ABA Playoffs In the American Basketball Association the ewYprk .Nets, led ..by Dr; Kaye( already clinched a spot in the finals by virtue of a 121-114 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the seventh game of their exciting series. Meanwhile the Kentucky Colonels edged the Denver Nuggets in a tense double over time battle Sunday afternoon to notch the series at three. The two teams will meet tonight in Denver to see who will face New York for the championship cham-pionship of the ABA. National Hockey League Playoffs The Boston Bruins and the exciting Philadelphia Flyers square-off in a best-of-seven semi-final series. The other series finds the Montreal Canadians going against the New York Islanders. Both semi-final matchups got unaer way Tuesday evening. Why Aren't Palyoffs on Television? On behalf of the many sports fans in this area, I would publicly like to express my disgust at the lack of weekday television exposure of the basketball and hockey playoffs currently in progress. Tonight, as you now have just read, Denver and Kentucky are squaring off in what will certainly be an exciting climax to that series. Will that be shown on television? Of course not, our wonderful networks must, saturate us with more police shows and miscellaneous situation comedies that bore the hell out of most of us. So, at a time when the world of sports has basketball and hockey playoffs in progress, the sports fans are shown a couple of games on Sunday afternoon. Surely there are sponsors available. I don't know the exact reason behind this blunder, but I definitely feel as though millions of fans are missing out on some great sporting events that could have been shown on home television. AH Defends Title Friday Night Don't give up all hope friends, not all is lost as ABC will telecast two heavy weight fights Friday night. Champion Muhammad Ali will defend his title against Jimmy Young, a 27 year old Philadelphian. Young apparently lacks power and Ali can take his punches. In the other matchup Ken Norton, the number 1 challanger to Ali's crown will face Ron Stander. The program begins at 7 p.m. Friday evening. Kentucky Derby this Saturday Ten thoroughbreds are set to run in the Kentucky Ken-tucky Derby Saturday afternoon but Honest Pleasure is the overwhelming favorite. The front running son of What a Pleasure has won nine races in a row and this season has mowed down all comers in the Flamingo, the Florida Derby and the Bluegrass Stakes. The "Run for the Roses" begins at 3: 40 MDT Saturday. Doni Waldman, of the Park City Ski and Sports Club, sliced through the thick clouds and dense fog on Sunday to capture the Women's Snow Cup Giant Slalom at the Alta Ski Resort. Doni, posting the fastest times on both. Saturday and Sunday, finished ahead of Heidi Hoffman of Nordic Valley and Carol Carter the University of Utah women's ski coach. Shortly after the racing started on Sunday heavy clouds rolled up Little Cottonwood Cot-tonwood Canyon bringing fog and snow. The adverse conditions caused problems for those skiing late in the day, and eventually lead to the cancellation of the second race. Commenting on the less than ideal conditions, Waldman said, "It was really slick until the first five or six girls skied it (the hard crust) off. You would ski into the gates high and tight and end , up low. It was like the snow was diamond and your edges were glass and they just wouldn't hold. "It was pretty fun when I got near the bottom. It wasn't as foggy and I think I made up a lot of time although I wasn't as aggressive as I should have been." In the men's division of the Snow Cup Giant Slalom, Scott Hoffman of Nordic Valley i Heidi's brother) took the honors although Steve Lundy from Jackson Hole, Wyo., recorded the fastest time on Sunday. It was Scott's combined total for the two runs which gave him the edge. Steve Urie of the Park City Ski team, who finished third in the men's G.S., posted the fastest time in the second race Sunday before can: cellations was forced by the storm.

'J L i tittup ..frA ,. 1 ,.r,,xi Telem Tales V) by Jim Miller Park West Touring School "It was like being in another world; The mountains seemed less a part of this planet than an entirely independent kingdom, unique and mysterious, where to venture forth, all that was needed was the will and the love." Baston Rebuffat To love is our greatest joy. To love a woman, a mountain, the ocean brings great happiness, but to love the spirit that created us all brings eternal joy. All that is here on Earth was created by love. Love pushed the Earth up in giant folds to make the highest mountains. It brought the snow to carve out the valleys and canyons. Love melts the snow and creates rivers to feed the Earth. The Earth feeds us. Love is the infinite exoression of iovfull harmonev on Earth. Let us all live our lives in harmony. Let us live our lives in harmony with our natural world as well as with our brother's and sisters. Our goals should be no greater than to understand our inner self and to be loving to all that is around us Meher Baba tells us,"Don't worry, be happy as it would seem so easy to do, yet we always set our worries and frustration and guilt disturb us Why let this very small physical plane interfere with the broader spiritual plane that nrnviH happiness? It all seems so simple, eniov everything around us, because it is here to enjoy and bring happiness.
