Show Wednesday, May 26, 1976 Page 6 By Bill Roland Muhammid Ali successfully defended his heavyweight crown Monday night with a TKO over a game Richard Dunn, fke slugfest was stopped in the fifth round by referee Herbert Thomser after Dunn went staggering to the canvas can-vas for the fifth time. It was not a premier performance by Ali but he was aggressive enough to convince boxing fans that he is indeed still the champ despite last mon-' mon-' th's controversial 15-round decision over Jimmy : Young. Ali was 10 pounds lighter for this bout and his punches definitely had more sting. Since Dunn employed a non-stop aggressive style, the fight turned into a battle royal and the challenger displayed little science but plenty of courage. Ali's trainer, Angelo Dundee has a custom of predicting the round the champion will score a knockout in, writing the round on a slip of paper and putting it inside Ali's glove. Dundee wrote i number five for Dunn and was right on the money. Ali's next appearance will be against Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki in Tokyo while his next championship defense is scheduled for September Sep-tember against Ken Norton in Yankee Stadium. If Ali wants to retire undefeated, he will no doubt have to train much like he did for his last bouts, with George Foreman and Joe Frazier. ' ' Next Saturday afternoon promises to be an exciting ex-citing one in the world of motor racing. The Indianapolis In-dianapolis "500," often referred to as "the greatest spectacle in racing," will be held on the Vh mile oval track nicknamed "the brickyard. Although Johnny Rutherford will be on the pole, watch for Mario Andretti to make a run in the early going as he posted the fastest qualifying time of 189.404 mph. A.J. Foyt seems to have his Foyt Coyote run-. run-. ning better and he has been turning in practice laps around 191 mph. As always, ABC Sports will show the race on Sunday evening, so don't miss it. Janet Guthrie, who did not get an opportunity to qualify at Indy, has decided to attempt Friday to qualify for the World 600 stock car race also on Sunday at the Charlotte Motor Speedway . Must give credit to this gritty lady but I do wish my southern friends Richard Petty, David Pearson and others the best of luck come race day . In golf, Gibby Gilbert held on to win the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic on Sunday. This weekend marks the unveiling of the Jack Nicklaus Memorial Tournament at his Muirfield Course in Ohio. This year salutes the great Bobby Bob-by Jones. Look for this to become a premier event on the tour.

Fi . If's been a long, cold winter for the throngs of Utah fishermen who have been waitine since last November for this weekend's 1976 fishing season opener. Well, finally, it's here. The general fishing season opens statewide, Saturday, Mav 29. The angling will begin at 5 a.m. (Daylight Savings Time) and will keep the hordes busy until 10 p.m. The regular season remains open until November 30. General Conditions Prevailing conditions throughout the state , vary from nnparpa tnthp next- hut in general'," the prospects for . the 1976 opener appear to be favorable for most anglers, The Northern Region reports indicate expectations for a "good" to "better" opening weekend. Snow pack i a I'll ii is anove normal dui sun wen below last year's record depths. That will provide more access than usual for the high lake areas. Northeastern Nor-theastern Region fishing prospects call for somewhat less fishing pressure than last year due to the relative decline in fishing success during the 1975 season. Most streams are expected to be high and roily for the opener. Fishing will probably be limited to lakes and controlled con-trolled streams below impoundments. im-poundments. Utah's Central Region predicts that the best fishing on the opener will once again be located in large lakes and reservoirs. Unlike 1975, however, many of the streams in this region will be , clear and thus planted with caicnaDies ior ine Dig weekend. The Southern Region foresees a good opening weekend, particularly in many of the old favorite fishing spots of the area. Most of the streams in this region will be stocked prior to opening day. Crappie fishing at Lake Powell should be at its best for the long holiday weekend. Fishing in the Southeastern Region will vary widely as access to many areas is currently hampered by snow and some ice as well. Cold weather conditions have also delayed stocking in many bodies of water. Lakes and waters in lower elevations should be good, however, for the angler's first try at the new season. : Call the Divisions regional offices for up-to the-minute information. FORECAST The Northern Region Fast Canyon Reservoir should provide good action for the opening weekend with the majority of fish being 10 inch pan size rainbow. Some larger fish are expected to show in the creel, however. I'lcho Reservoir will be good with half pound rainlww it it completes filling before the weekend. KockM-t Reservoir should also produce good fishing if the impoundment finishes filling with water. The general rule will be one-third pound rainbow. Weber River will probably not be stocked for the opener except in the upper reaches. Conditions below Rockport .will depend on whether or not the reservoir is spilling. In Morgan county, ine river is high and silty, but not as bad as last year. Willard Bay is expected to show good crappie action at the north marina, but bass and wallleye action will be slow. ' Pine vie w Reservoir WlU probably .'not:, yeildV'gqqd nsmng aunougn popgear wm take a few pound-size fish. All ramps are open, Logan River is very high and muddy and will not be stocked before the opening Jni Uir-kinrt i i urttK yv bait will produce some browns, cutthroat and holdover rainbow. Northeastern Region Flaming Gorge Reservoir is a year-round water that has produced excellent fishing in the past. Fishing this spring has been slow for rainbow, but has given up some nice trophy brown and lake trout. There should be a large crowd for Memorial Day weekend. Lately, more pan-sized rainbow have been showing up in the creels of shore fishermen. Green River should see a large crowd, too. It should produce fair to good fishing. Starvation Reservoir is undergoing an expanded rough fish population which .will decrease the success of trout fishing. Some large brown trout, however, await the experienced angler. Remember that the Strawberry River is not open until July 15 and closes again after September 15. Central Region Deer Creek Reservoir ' should give shore fishermen and boaters alike some good first weekend fishing. Rainbow trout will be; prevalent, but creels will also fill with brown, lake trout, largemouth bass and yellow perch. The water should be just right for the opener. 3 Provo River above Deer Creek is high and muddy with ' debris floating in this swollen stretch and will not be a good bet for opening weekend. Below the reservoir, however, should yield good catches of both brown and rainbow in spite of high water. Soldier Creek Reservoir has limited camping facilities but is a new reservoir ant , should produce good fishing ; for rainbow in the 10-16 inch category. Strawberry Reservoir will receive its usual large crowd ! of anxious fighermen, but the ' snow and ice has cleared and good to excellent fighing is" expected with 10 to 14 inch : rainbow dominating the L ' reel. Limits have increased , to eight this year. Access fees have also increased. FRESH FISH MORE FLAVOR Many fishermen may be depriving themselves of the superb flavor of freshly caught fish by failing to maintain the quality of their catch until they get it home. A freshly caught fish has practically no "fish " odor-the odor-the "fishy" smell becomes more pronounced with the passage of time, especially if the angler doesn't give his catch the proper care. Here are several recommendations recom-mendations to those who catch their own fish: ' 1. Kill the fish as soon as it's taken from the water. If the fish is allowed to flop around until it suffocates, the flesh may be bruised, causing more rapid deterioration. 2. Keep the catch out of the sun in a cool sheltered place or in an iced picnic cooler. 3. Clean the fish as soon as possible and wash the body cavity clean. ' 4. Pack the body cavity with ice then cover the fish with more ice. Water from melting ice should be drained often enough to prevent the fish from becoming waterlogged. 5. If no ice is available, wrap the fish in camp moss, ferns, wet newspapers or burlap and keep it out of the sun. 6. Use the fish quickly while it is at the peak of quality. If there is a surplus, scale and wrap the fish -and freeze as soon as possible. Fish should generally not be kept more than three months in a deep freeze and no more than a week in ' a freezer atop a refrigerator, especially if it is equipped, with., a ...self-. del V Mil a m mbIII if J L-IU DOORS OPEN AT 7 P.M.
