Nissalke wanted to force the opposition to put its small forward on the indispensible Dantley. So basically, hes a reserve, but that doesn't bother him. If I'm getting a good amount of minutes, it doesn't bother me at all if I don't start," said the South Carolina product Celtics Rookie Boswell said he was one of the lucky ones," when he broke in as a rookie on a championship team, the 1976 Celtics. He was 23 at the time, and the next youngest guy to me was 28 or 29." He didn't get much playing time, but he learned some of the games subtleties "I learned without realizing I learned." The Celtic bench experience got tiring after three years, and finally Boswell went to the Nuggets last year. He was a standout for Denver, averaging 10 6 points for the season and then starting in place of an injured George McGinnis in the playoffs and averaging 17.3 He was a starter when the Nuggets traded him to Utah in November, hut his fate in Denver seemed to he sealed when he had an early-seasopractice incident with assistant coach George Irvine. "When I got traded. I think I was playing better than anyone on the team," said Boswell. "I don't think my, There trade was basketball-relatewas more emphasis put on that (the Irvine incident) than on basketball. Boswell seemed to be a scapegoat, and since then, the struggling Nuggets have also unloaded McGinnis personally think theyll miss George"). The Jazz was glad to get him for a mere second-roun- d draft choice, and the fans here have taken to him. his inside play, and even his bemused scowls, that he often shows when called for a foul. I think it's good to show emotion," he says. I guess I'm a little 1 react After this season, it'll be the Jazzs turn to react The way hes played for Utah.

(AD Bernard Tavlor of Charlotte twice has beaten In Grand Slam Davis, Wins nt Tribune Sports Writer When this season ends, the Utah Jazz might be in a bit of danger in trying to retain the services of its best percentage shooter Its true, of course, that Adrian Dantley, who has been among the top three in the league in field goal percentage all year, has agreed to a contract. So whats the new five-yedanger? Well, Dantley isnt the top Jazz percentage shooter right now. Tom Boswell is. Boswell, who has provided needed frontcourt muscle in the couple of months hes been with the Jazz, moved ahead of Dantley this week and. heading into Saturday nights game at Houston, he was shooting 5796 from the floor to A D.s .5791. That takes into account the whole season. In his 37 games with the Jazz, hes shooting .601, and in his last 16 games, having settled into Tom Nissalkes offense, his shooting mark is a remarkable .627. forward, says he's Boswell, a always been a 50 percent shooter, but hes considerably more than that lately. He would be a valuable frontcourt reserve for any team, and his performance this season, in which hes averaged 11.9 points for the Jazz while playing an average of just 24.7 minutes, is probably making other teams notice. This could create an interesting for the Jazz, situation in the r because Boswell, a veteran, becomes a free agent after this year. He says he hasnt really thought about his situation yet, but he has been received warmly here, he's playing well, and he thinks he might like to stay. No Serious Talks We've talked a little, but we haven't had serious talks yet," said Boswell about his Jazz negotiations. "But I would like to play for the Jazz. I like being a part of something that you had something to do with making better." Certainly. Boswell has helped make the Jazz better. When he, Terry Furlow, and Mack Calvin joined the team, Utah was 2 18 Since then, the Jazz has gone Terry and I helped the team, hut Adrian has played great, and so has Ron Boone, Ben (Poquette). everybody," said Boswell. "All the other guys have played hotter. We helped a great deal but we shouldnt get sole credit " The Jaz. the leagues weakest rebounding team, is not a physically intimidating unit, and that's what he helps emphasizes Boswells value against the physical clubs. In fact. Nissalke figured that it was Boswell's fouling out that was the turning point in the Jazz's two point loss to physical Atlanta Thursday night Roswell has started only occasionally like during Dantley's absence last month, when Bos had a couple of 20 point games And he's started a couple of times recently when 1 AulbvDrnbs Boswell Making Points On Free-AgeMarket By Lex Hemphill y 'When we competed in the national (hampmn ships with the all Armv team, we made our original contacts with some people from the Olympics who were after someone familiar with the sport to help didn't think our original run the event But to a shot at helping with the lead would participation Olympics " Thief of Competition ' Colonel Burton is the ehief of competition." said Rune, "and we have been friends stnee the first time we went hack to the nationals He asked me to help in last 1978 and we all went hack to the year Last fall, he called me again and said he had another couple of openings.
