Show Wednesday, March 9, 1977 Page 9 SPORTS REPORT stQy J"ned Aviso By Brown College Basketball Number one rated San Francisco, looking like they would make it through the season with an unblemished record, was brought back to earth as the Irish of Notre Dame shocked the Dons at South Bend in a game Saturday 93-82. Previously unranked Notre Dame is now hoping for an at large berth in the NCAA tournament as their records stands at 20-6 with one game remaining on their schedule. San Francisco, finishing the regular season with a 29-1 record, will meet 6th ranked Nevada at Las Vegas in the first round of regional play. Meanwhile in Knoxville, number two Kentucky was faring little better than San Francsico as Ail-American forward Bernard King led the Tennessee Vols with 36 points to win 81-79. The victory for the 10th rated Vols moved them into position to claim a share of the SEC Championship. Third rated Michigan, who will meet Holy Cross in the Mideast regionals, defeated Purdue 84-79. UCLA defeated USC 78-69 and will meet number nine Louisville in the Western regionals. Number seven North Carolina, after beating Virginia in the finals of the ACC tournament, will meet Purdue in the Eastern regionals. Elsewhere in college basketball, United Press International named their 1976-1977 Ail-American Ail-American team. Named to the first team were UCLA's Marque Johnson, Michigan's Rickey Green, Indiana's Kent Benson, Tennessee's Bernard Ber-nard King and Otis Birdsong of Houston. NBA Looking at the NBA standing, we find the division leaders maintaining their positionsi though the Detroit Pistons did gain some ground on the Denver Nuggets who lost two overtime games this week, one to the Washington Bullets and the other to the Boston Celtics. The Central Division leading Bullets protected their 2 12 game lead over Houston as they defeated Phoenix 118-110 as well as their overtime victory against the Nuggets. The Los Angeles Lakers continued to hold on to their slim one game lead over Portland and the Philadelphia 76ers stayed five games in front of the Celtics after, josing. to the New York Knicks.Sunday 110-102. World Cup Skiing Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark and Switzerland's Switzer-land's Lise-Marie Morerod, both 20 years old, more or less clinched World Cup titles this weekend at Sun Valley. Stenmark, winning in his specialty, the giant slalom, has built a seemingly seem-ingly unsurmountable lead over second place Franz Klammer. Miss Morerod, also a giant slalom specialist, won that race as she beat Olympic gold medalist Kathy Reiner of Canada. The victory gave Miss Morerod 294 World Cup points, 65 points ahead of her closest challenger, five-time world champion Annemarie Moser-Proell Moser-Proell of Austria. Golf Once again this week, the sports world finds another of the young unknowns who is becoming increasingly dominant on the golf tour this year. Gary Koch, at age 24, walked away with a 14 under par total of 274 to win the Florida Citrus Open Sunday. Koch, joining the ranks of successful suc-cessful newcomers such as Bruce Leitze and Tom Purtzer, led the entire final round as he came away with $40,000 in prize money. Steve Melnyk was next with a 277 total. Tennis After losing in her three previous final matches mat-ches in the women's circuit to Matina Navratilova, Sue Barker of England beat Virginia Wade in the finals of the $100,000 San Francisco women's tennis tournament. Miss Barker won in two sets 6-3, 6-4 as she broke her countryman's serve six times, three times in each set. In Memphis, Tenn. it was Bjorn Borg beating last week's American Airline tournament winner Brian Gottfried to win the U.S. National Indoor tennis championship. Borg, top seeded in the $175,000. tournament, won in four seis 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, and 7-5. The victory netted the 20 year old Swede $28,000. Playing in winds up to 30 m.p.h., Jimmy Connors Con-nors defended his Heavyweight Tennis Championship Cham-pionship title as he defeated Romania's Hie Natase in the winner take all $250,000 match. Natase, one of the few players on the circuit to dominate Connors, holding a 15-6 edge, complained com-plained about the hard synthetic court as well as the weather in explaining his loss. Connors, appearing ap-pearing fully recovered from a knee injury that forced him to forfeit a match to Dick Stockton a few weeks ago, won in four sets 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 and 6-3. And Then There Were Only Thirty-Two By Gary A vise By Peter Najar Wolfe's Repair Shop In the last few years there has been an increase in the use of antiski tip crossing devices on the racing circuits. As a result, we now see more and more skiers using anti-crossing devices. They do work. I've heard enough skiers comment on how they actually feel their ski tips hitting the Parablack and bouncing back into correct position. Not all skiers need these devices or should use them. A beginner who picks up his skis could conceivably lift his ski over the Parablack and cross the skies. He would then be unable to uncross the ski. For a beginner the fixed anti-crossing device will not do. There are a few makes of these devices that do Don't be afraid to look nowbut the University of Utah basketball program has arrived! This past weekend's pasting of arch-rival BYU coupled with Arizona State's continued home court dominance over nationally ranked Arizona has given the runnin' Utes the Western Athletic Conference Con-ference championship for the first time since 1966. Third year head coach Jerry Pimm and assistant coaches Gerry Gimelstob and Jim Marsh (both are in their third year under Pimm at the U) have utilized what they call a "passing game" to mold a group of relatively inexperienced inexperien-ced and small players into national contenders. One of the top two point guards in the country (Phil Ford of North Carolina being the other) senior Jeff Jonas has captained the Utes to a 21-6 season while setting a career record at Utah with 846 assists entering Saturday's contest at Tucson. Tuc-son. In addition to his playmaking and passing talents, the 5'11" product of Marquette High in allow a ski to uncross by folding or bending when Milwaukee just happens to be the leading free- mrow snooter on a team currently tirst in the nation in that category; connecting on 462 or 588: for 78.6 percent. More noteworthy, the Utes rank second in the nation in field goal accuracy, hitting hit-ting over 54 percent. This latter statistic reveals not so much the eye-hand coordination of the players as it does the patience and discipline the coaching staff has managed to maintain. This cohesiveness has allowed Utah to post victories over teams conceded to possess more physical talent, most notably Nevada Las Vegas and Kentucky. Ken-tucky. The latter was beaten in Lexington. What this means is Utah has a great chance of advancing in the tournament. Why? Because they are paired against Uncle Lou Carneseca's 21-9 Redmen from St. John's. Following this victory vic-tory and advancing to the final sixteen, they will journey to the friendly confines of BYU's Marriot Center where they will play the winner of the USF-UNLVshootout. They have already 0bgsfen thfe runpiA;jReels thisryear. f f t Even though USF handed our boys a ten-point setback in early December, the Dons stunk it up in their last regular season game at South Bend this past Saturday. They quit like Thayle Lund. The scenario is a familiar one, Team Discipline and Patience vs. Team Shoot and Fall Back. I can't remember the last time ole Shoot and Fall Back won all the hardware. Let's go to Provo! ! And then there were only eight. tne skis are being uncrossed. They fold in only one direction so that it will keep skis from crossing unless the ski is lifted above the anti-crossing device. These devices are mounted about thirty (30) centimeters from the tip of the ski. They are mounted either with a glue-backing or screws. When installing the devices with screws, be careful not to go through the bottom of the' ski. The devices that use a glue backing are also mounted 30 centimeters back of the tip. The area where the anti-ski tip crossing device is to be mounted must be free of dirt and grease. It should be cleaned with solvent, then the backing should be warmed. This is to make sure the glue will be more malleable and, thus, form a better bond. These anti-crossing devices will make the top of a ski a little damper by adding extra weight to the tip. By adding weight to the tip, a greater amount of energy will be required to make the tip vibrate or be deflected. The value of these devices is in their ability to prevent crossed skisbut the added sense of confidence con-fidence is probably the greatest benefit.
