Both athletes had defeated the other in preliminary action, going into the last round, of the doubleelimination contest, but Dixon won it all in a play-ofThe contest is a race to 21 points, scored but the winner must win by two. Fouls are called, and after five infractions, the rule take effect. Montgomery led through most of the match, but in the final moments, failed to hit some crucial foul shots, and saw the ball roll off the rim on shots that might have won it all. Dixon was able to stay within on a jump to win striking distance, and he eventually broke a shot from 15 feet.

"Im a admits Dorothy. I perfectionist, like to be best at whatever I do, be it cooking or skating. I thought I worked hard while preparing for the Olympics, practicing at least seven hours daily, but thats nothing compared to the schedule I work under now. Im also busy with TV specials and produce promotions," adds Dorothy, but I try not to sacrifice any of my I have to be this disciplined, because now Im performing on a daily basis, often doing two or more shows a day, whereas in my amateur period I would only compete two or three times a year. I love every minute, though says Dorothy. "I enjoy being with Ice Capades and have met some wonderful people. Most of all, Im doing what I want to do, and what I do bestskating. I cant imagine ever being dissatisfied with such a career. When the time comes to hang 19 my skates, however, IU not be victimized by the tendency of athletes and performers to linger too long in the spotlight. Perhaps then Ill be able to fulfill my dream ol teaching blind and handicapped children to skate. My life didnt end with the Olympics, nor do I consider Athletes are often defeated by victory. Theyve concentrated so on a single competitive goal that theyre lost after reaching it. Dorothy Hamill is different; her career has to move smoothly upward ever since she stepped up to the Olympic podium to receive her gold skating medal. Since her Innsbruck triumph she has enchanted millions as the star of Ice Capades, ABC-Tspecials, and commercials. Making this sort of transition isnt easy, not even for an Olympic star. The leap from the sports arena into show business was not an easy one to make," Dorothy admits, "and I needed expert guidance. Luckily my manager, Jerry Weintraub, helped me avoid pitfalls by explaining and advising me on everything that came along in the way of offers and promotions. "I was also lucky in that my sport, ice skating, is one of the few that the public also embraces as spectacle, continues Dorothy. In fact, Ive been able to grow as a skater since retiring from competition. I find that I prefer professional skating. Im not bound anymore by the need to please a panel of judges looking for extremely precise and rigid requirements. Now Im free to express myself more with my skating, and do things I couldnt dare when practicing for the Olympics. Dorothy notes, "audiences seem to enjoy my new, more ambitious routines as much as I do performing tthem. The public has been really wonderful; I can sense that theyre behind me . they love it when I do my trademark, the Hamill Camel, but they also are receptive to new routines such as I do in the show. con-tyinu- ed 00 tickets for youth 16 and under and Senior Citizens for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Monday evening performances and the Saturday matinee.

The team will go through 20 sessions over the next month in preparation for the eleven-gam- e schedule next autumn. Teams have been assembled, and have been playing toward an Explorer Tournament, to be held on April 17 to 25, under the sponsorship of the Lake Bonneville Council. Teams are organized, using an Explorer Post as a base, and recruiting various basketball stars, between the ages of 16 and 19.

Mayor Ted Wilson will be on hand Wednesday to present Dorothy with a proclamation declaring the week of April 15 thru the 21st, March of Dimes Superwalk Week to honor her work with March of Dims. "Skating has always been important to me," says Dorothy, "but you don't have to be an Olympic Champion to enjoy this activity. During my association with the March of Dunes, i ve made many new inenas, wno enjoy skating, despite the limitations of serious birth defects. We can all help these kids by joining Superwalks all thru the state on April 21." long-delaye- s "We have a couple of goals this year during our spring season," Head Coach Pete Riehlman said. The first is to work on the basic fundamentals of the game. We need to improve the basics so that we wont beat ourselves this year. Our second goal is to get a good look at the players and give them a good evaluation. Since we have more players with us this year-.-- ' that are familiar with what we are doing, we will have a better chance to get a look at them in situations as close to game conditions as possible. There will be no "Spring Game" as such this year, but the team will scrimundergo several game-typ- e mages. These are tentatively set for Fridays and Tuesdays through the practice season. Regular practices will be held each afternoon in the stadium, and will be open to the public. Although the Wildcats lost some key personnel, including three a solid corps of returnees and some excellent recruits will be on hand in the coming season. With the loss of one of the nations leading passers, and the top receiver, there may be some change in the Wildcat passing attack that has been ranked in the top three in the nation during the last two years. Returning signal caller Greg Davis, a sophomore next season, is a talented runner as well as a passer. The two top junior college quarterbacks with the Wildcats, Bill Kelly and Grady Hubbart, are also n outstanding passers and play-actio- runners. Overall, the Wildcats look for better balance in their offensive attack a during the coming season, and continuation of the defense that led the Big Sky Conference last fall. During the spring, though, there may be some problems, basically with numbers. "Our defense is solid, but we are lacking depth in some offensive spots, Coach Riehlman said. We are down to seven, and possible six linemen during spring ball, and have only two runningbacks. Of course, part of this shortage is because we have moved people around to get a look at them in other positions. Some of the returnees playing outside of their accustomed spots from last year include Scott Roth, moved from running back to wide receiver; Joe Thomas, from receiver to running back; Willie Glasper from fullback to linebacker; and Stuart Reuter from offensive to defenseive line. The Wildcats open the season with a pair of tough road games, playing at North Dakota State on September 8 and at Brigham Young on September 15. Other opponents in the coming year include Portland State and Utah State.

Dorothys immediate plans include more elaborate and advanced exhibitions in Ice Capades, several TV specials and most likely a much-anticipat- move into films. This Dorothy has gone over the rainbow and found her gold; from here on, the skys the limit. Ice Skating is more than just fun For most of us, ice skating has always been something we did on frozen lakes or ponds as children-jus- t it has been for the fun of r something we watch on television or at an ice show. Ice skating rinks were a place to go for birthday parties or some special' occasion because they were either too far away, or charged admission., Yet, for those who have taken the sport seriously, the long hours of training can be the foundation for an exciting and profitable career. Many a teenager, going around in the endless circles of a figure eight on the ice, has dreamed of ultimately attaining perfection sufficient to take him or her into the glittering professional world of an ice show. And, its not an impossible dream, because many young skaters have made it and the doors are wide open for those who can qualify. Because Ice Capades scouts and coaches are constantly searching for new skating talent, auditions are held in every city on tour. Prospective foe Capades skitters must be at least seventeen years old, and know the basic jumps, spirals and spins of figure skating. Beyond that, appearance and onfhAiaam are plus factors. This year Ice Capades will appear in over 100 cities with three touring shows and will travel as far east aa New York and Halifax, Nova Scotia and as far west as Los Angdea and Honolulu. If you are interested in a most unusual career as a member of the world-famoIce Capades ballet, bring your own figure skates and audition. DATE: Friday, April 13, 1V79, TIME: 10:30 p.m..
