SI i XOU CAN DO IT HANDS DOWN FOR RECOVERY What happens when your skis cross over an unexpected rut, a patch of ice. or a mound of heavy snow? Do you lose your balance, at least temporarily? Unfortunately, most skiers react to this type of situation by wildly flailing their arms in an attempt to regain their balance (A). This just worsens the problem because such violent movements made with your arms pull the body's center of gravity farther away from its balance point over the feet. The next time you're about to ski over a tricky spot, immediately drop your hands low (B). If both hands are abruptly moved down toward your boots, the body will tend to stabilize with the center of gravity over the feet again. Train yourself to make this an automatic response and you'll experience experi-ence fewer falls and much smoother runs. Reprinted with permission ol Ski Maga2ine.

Indiana State now Remains the only undefeated major college Seam with a 19-0 record. North Carolina was booking strong but fell to Clemson 66-61, and Duke seems to be putting the puzzle back Iqgether after three loses in early January. The Big Ten is also topsy-turvey as Michigan State lost to Michigan and Northwestern last week, Jjfwhile Illinois also lost two games, and Ohio 1 State won both their contets to sit atop the Big Ten, at least for now. Louisville, at 17-3, leads the Metro Conference H while LSU heads the Southeaster Conference despite a loss to Georgia last week. Texas con- tinues to be the surprise of the Southwest Conference Con-ference while the Pac 10 looks the same with UCLA at the top after wins over Washington E State and Washington. The NBA will stage it's annual All-Star Game 2 this Sunday in Detroit. George Gervin, the s league's leading scorer, with a 29.5 average, s was the top vote-getter . Joining Gervin in the Eastern Conference starting lineup will be for- wards Julius Irving of Philadelphia and Rudy Tomjanovich of Houston, center Moses Malone 3 also of Houston and Pistol Pete Maravich of New Orleans. 1 The Western Conference will start Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at center along with forwards Hlieorge McGinnis ol Denvei unci Aiuiqucs jonn-son jonn-son from the Milwaukee Bucks. At the guard positions will be Denver's David Thompson lalong with Paul Westphal of the Phoenix Suns. 2 Although Lloyd Free is the second leading iscorer in the NBA with a 28.5 average, he did J&Qt make the West All-Star squad. Also excluded ex-cluded were last year's rebounding champion Truck Robinson, this year's assists leaders Kevin Porter, Norm Nixon and John Lucas. The starting fives were selected in fan balloting while the conference coaches selected the six reserves. Calvin Murphy, Houston's premier guard made the squad for the first time in his nine-year career. The Washington Bullets currently have the best record in the NBA as they stand at 33-15 and lead the Atlantic Division by 34 games over the Sixers. San Antonio holds a slim 14 game lead over the Houston Rockets in the Central Cen-tral Division. In the Western Conference, the Kansas City Kings, led by Otis Birdsong, have a 3' 2 game edge over the Denver Nuggets. Perhaps, the most exciting division is the Pacific where Seattle holds a two-game edge over the L.A. Lakers with the Phoenix Suns 2l2 games behind. Despite the fact that Marvin Webster was traded to the Knicks and Tom LaGarde was injured in early December, Lenny Wilkins' Supersonics have displayed the best balance as five players average between 13 and 16 points per game. Dick Motta of the Bullets and Lenny Wilkins of the Supersonics will be the coaches in the All-Star All-Star Game. The same coaches were in last year's NBA finals, perhaps an indication of what to expect this spring. At any rate, it will be fun to focus in on guards, slam dunks, twenty-foot jumpers and Kevin Loughery getting technical fouls.

He fell at a speed of about 75 mph near the finish of the course. Cory was unconscious uncon-scious about ten minutes after af-ter the fall and was taken immediately from the course to the Kitzbuhel Hospital by helicopter. According to the U.S. team doctor, Bob Oden, of Aspen, Colorado, who was with Cory at the hospital the diagnosis was a cerebral concussion and torn ligaments in the left knee. He remained in the hospital for 24 hours under observation obser-vation due to the nature of his head injury. Based on his condition January 20, a decision will be made as to when he will return to his hometown where his left knee ligaments will be repaired by surgery. It is anticipated at this time that he can return to the U.S. within three days. championship points as the rest of the field and has boosted his earnings to almost $40,000. "I am skiing well again.'' said Arnold, "now that I have fully recovered from my lingering cold." Arnold defeated Swiss Walter Tresch in the giant slalom finals. Tresch. who won a silver medal here in the 1972 Olympics, said. "Arnold is the very best, and I had to ski as fast as possible. Then. I simply missed a gate in the final run."

The poll, conducted by Wasatch Opinion Research Corp. for the Utah Education Association, was designed to determine the level of public support for state programs in 14 areas. "The results tell us many people express support for increased funding of state services, and that the effects of Proposition 13 may not be as great as we've thought," said UEA Executive Secretary Daryl J. McCarty. "The point Utah residents made in this poll is that they want two things tax relief and adequate government services," McCarty said, adding: "Fortunately, the Utah State Legislature is in a position this year to provide both. The state's economy, the expected surplus and projected growth make these seemingly contradictory contradic-tory desires possible." The greatest amount of support for increased funding fund-ing was registered for public safety, public schools, water resources, state highways and higher education, in that order. A total of 55.2 percent expressed ex-pressed support for greatly or somewhat increased tuning tun-ing lor public safety: 48.5 percent approved a funding increase for public schools; 46 percent favored more tax money for water resources; 41.1 percent approved of added ad-ded funds for state highways; high-ways; and 38.3 percent favored increases for higher education. Other areas of state government considered by the poll were health services; ser-vices; parks and recreation; juvenile courts; family services; prisons and probation yef.ice; statt courts; the legislature; welfare assistance; and the executive branch. Asked how they thought a theoretical tax surplus amounting to $50 a person should be spent, 46.3 percent per-cent said it should be returned return-ed to the taxpayers. But 13.9 percent said the state should keep the $50 to improve government services ser-vices in general. Another 11 percent said the state should use the $50 to improve im-prove a specific state service, ser-vice, while 20.4 percent said the state should use half the money for a specific service and return $25 to taxpayers. In total, more than 45 percent per-cent of the respondents favored the state retain at least some of the theoretical surplus. Asked where they would put the money if stale revenues suddenly increased in-creased and extra dollars were available to improve or upgrade services, respondents selected public schools as first choice. Next came public safety, state highways, higher education, water resources, health services, parks and recreation, family services, juvenile courts, prisons and probation offices, and welfare assistance in that order. The pollsters asked Utahns which four of the 14 state services would they definitely not cut if taxes were drastically reduced and budget trims had to be made. Public schools was the respondent's top preferences prefer-ences for no budget cuts. Next in order came public safetylaw enforcement, higher education and state highways. Noting that the state may be faced with one of several alternatives in dealing with inflation and the high costs of government, the pollsters asked which one the respondents respon-dents favored. A total of .6 percent ap proved greatly increasing taxes in order to increase services somewhat; 19 6 percent expressed support for somewhat increasing taxes in order to keep services ser-vices at their present level; and 36.4 percent wanted to keep taxes at the present level and somewhat reduce the level of services.
