This is a perfect place for the swimmer who does want to get wet but has some apprehensions about his ability to handle the ocean. There is a reef about 100 yards out and inside that the water is shallow,there are plenty of fish to watch and little danger unless you venture past the coral barrier.

You just put your face underwater and swim or float leisurely and there is always a fish or an exciting piece of coral to catch your eye. Of course, there can be an embarrasing moment or two when man and sea meet. ‘There wasthesightof a certain aging journalist (Editor's Note spurmalist? ) foing into the water in front of all those lovely sunbathers. He sucked in his stomach and tried to walk into the water thinking he looked as graceful as Devin Durrant gliding in for a lay-in. Have ever walked into the ocean with a half size too large pair of swimming fins on your feet? Anyway, the fins crossed, the journalist did a pratfall that broughta splashlike a whale and flock of snickers from the sidelines. But with the fins on the sand, everything fell into place Watching the fish was a treat desnite being startled on the occasion when a scuba diver came swimming past my goggles. There are a tot of Utahns here today. You can pick them out from the crowd without a program.Theyareine ones with white skin that is turning pinker by the second. One of them, Dr. Brent Pratley of Provo, is one of the nonswimmers and non-sun worshippers. At this momentheis following a pretty wahine and not for the reason menusuallyfollow retty girls along the sea shore. She is ineing and the good doctor thinks he cantalk i:er into an operation and pay for the trip here. But she won't give him the last two numbers of her Blue Cross card. The time is about 5 hours before BYU's basketball team plays Hawaii in Blaisdell Arona The Rainbows have been quoted in the sports sheets here as being out to avengelast year's 25 point loss to the Cougars in the Mar: riott Center. “They aren't that much better than we are,” the Hawaiians say. Well, we'll know aboutthat ina few hours. The BYU players have been banned from the beach today. Coach Frank Arnold isn’t going to have, say Alan Taylor, show up tonight with a bad case of sunburn. Butthis has been a fun trip for the Cougars. Last night, guard Danny Ainge and forward Steve Trumbo rented mopeds and spent three hours touring Honolulu. “It was great,” Ainge said. ‘We didn’t have any problems:and wegot to know the country.”’ Ainge is a big sports namein this state. At the Polynesian Cultural Center show last night, the ticket-takers all said they were BYU fans. “Tell Ainge (They pronounced it AnGee’’) that we'll give him the best seats in the house if he will score 35 points,”’ one of them said But Ainge wasn’t there. Durrant, Steve Anderson and Mike Maxwell were. Andersonis one of the players who has hadlittle playing time this winter but he had a big game against San Diego State last Thursday night. Arnold has long said that the big forward is one of the best shooters around. He demonstrated that’ against the Aztecsandis probably scheduled for more heavy duty now. The player who attracts the most attention in the lobby is freshman GregKite,Kite is 6-11 and muscular. Heis also starting to play big on the court. Against the Aztecs he pulled down 10 rebounds and was very aggressive on both ends ofthe fioor. GuardSteve Craig is closing in on a school record. Goinginto the game with Hawaii, the hustling Craig has a string of 20 straight foul pitches. The record is 29 by KresimerCosic. To back up a coupleof graphs, Steve Anderson's 12 points the other night wasa career high and the four foul pitches he made werehisfirst of the year. Hey,talking about good performancesby reserves, Guard Greg Ballif was shooting 71 percent fiom thefield and hit 4 for 5 against SDS to boost that to 73 percent. And the shot he missed wasblocked. Alan Taylor is closing in on a career field goal percentage record. He already holds the season record of 57 percent and hyis shooting a career 57.7 mark The record is 53 by Neil Koberts. Brrrr. Inallthis heat I just had a chilling thought. The Colorado State at Wyoming game the other night was postponed because of snow. Oh, well, for a couple of more hours,there's nothing in sight but sand, sea, surf andlots of prettygirls. How aboutthat, sports fans? Tom Boswell led Utah with 25 points, including two 3-point plays late in the fourth quarter. Ron Boonecontributed 20 for Utah.
