the feeling a little cause and effect might have been at work The K is for Karl of course and he was not alone in welcoming the presence of Jdff Malone as the Utah Jazz opened their training camp Friday morning at Westminster College “I’m willing to make his transition as easy as possible” said K one of the top in the league “I understand about this team that it’s been Stockton and Malone” said J “I’m not looking at it as trying to compete” This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship When the Jazz traded for Jeff Malone in the they wanted the Washington Bullet guard for his outside shooting — a crucial element for opening up an already powerful inside game The seven-yeveteran finds the role appealing “At Washington I had to go out every night and score a lot of points” said J “Here I don’t have the pressure to score 23 points a game Ten or 12 would be good enough” That’s just what Utah Coach Jerry Sloan wants to hear “He had to score points for his team and he did a good job” said Sloan “Here he won’t be called upon to score as much but he’s expected to make the open shots If he does that he’ll be helping out the team” And what about the guy who’ll be getting him the ball for those shots? “I’m excited he’s here” said John Stock-to- n premier assist-ma- n “He can’t do anything but help us” There’ll certainly be a transition as J and the Jazz get used to one

into Friday night’s clash with Weber with a pretty good reputation for throwing the ball It was the Warriors however that put on an aerial show en route to a solid 17-- 0 non-leag- ue ictory Unable to generate much of a rushing attack against the Titans Weber Head Coach Glenn Prisk switched gears and the Warrior offensive machine responded without skipping a beat “Their (Titans) region is very tough against the run" said Prisk “Wc weren't able to run wide against their quickness so we went to the air and came up ‘We went to the air KRISTAN Jazz coach Jerry Sloan shows one of the rookies how

following a 6 loss at Seattle Monday night held practice Friday at Renton High School and then talked with reporters outside the women’s locker room at the school’s stadium “I’ll end up I guess paying the fine” he said “No amount of fine will force me to change my conviction on this matter We need to find a way for women to have a decent and open access to all these athletes “The commissioner feels like it’s more important to fine me than to seek another solution” Mike Brown assistant general manager of the Bengals said “I don’t know there’s anything much wrong with Sam saying his piece and now he’s said it and we’ll put it behind us” “We’ll abide by the rule Our locker room will be open to male or female” Brown said the team will take up the matter again with the NFL after the season is over “On Sunday It’s (the locker room) going to be open from start to finish just like the commissioner said But the issue isn’J closed” “There is a signifeant portion of the players who are bothered by this Their rights their privacy is invaded We’ve got to listen to that point That’s something that should not be ignored" Wyche had been scheduled to meet in New York with Tagliabue on Thursday but decided to stay with the team talking instead by phone with the commissioner for about an hour There is no appeal process available to the coach The fine was announced by Joe Browne the NFL’s vice

put the 17 players through their paces to begin camp Everyone greeted the sprints weaves and layup drills with enthusiasm — this was after all opening day — but the fire burned more intensely for the guys whose future is a little on the uncertain side For rookies this is not a good time to hold anything back Walter Palmer Utah’s lone draft pick certainly won’t although he did hold out for a while this summer “I think the pressure is what you put on yourself” said Palmer from his perspective “I’m relieved by the work I got done last month Anything you missed hurts you but I got a chance to catch up” The word “rookie” will no ger find itself preceding any tion of Blue Edwards though His quality play erased all but the formality of that title last season “I think I established myself”

defense playing NBA-lev“It’s a thrill to guard guys who are considered to be the best in the game” said Edwards who showed he could do it effectively His aim is to play even better defense this season

20-ya- rd would be the understatement of the night When the Warriors weren’t putting pressure on the Titans they were acquainting Hoggan with the turf as they turned in nine quarterback sacks and one interception The lone interception came with 8:54 left in the game when Rob Holmes picked off the Olympus aerial and raced 22 yards for what proved to be the final score of the evening “Robbie (Holmes) played an excellent game on defense for us” said Prisk “Our line was able to get the pressure they needed because of the way our defensive backs played against their receivers" Even when the Titans got breaks including a pair of turnovers in Weber territory in the third quarter the Warriors’ “D” rose to the occassion “We were able to establish our defensive strength when it counted and we were able to keep them (Titans) from scoring" said Prisk “This goes down as a big win for us even though it was a game I told our kids after last week's win against Viewmont that wc needed to stay consistent and we showed tonight that we did” The Warriors upped their season mark to 3 and with a 2 mark in Region action with a pair of games left chances of adplay look vancing to ce 4-- 2-- 1
