Show The Sail !.ak & i,l John Wooden Keeping Active Position To Stewart A I til Tom Stewart who coached Box Elder to within a three-poin- t play of the Class stale earlier this month, has hem named the head basketball coaeh at the new Alla High School. Stewart's three-yea- r reign at Box Elder was s u c ce s sf ully concl uded v itli the Bees run to the 1978 finals, where they lost a 0 decision to heavily favored and undefeated Provo. Stewart was a three-yea- r letterman at Utah State, graduating in 1969. From there he went on to Curtis, Wash., where he was head coach for three years at Boistfort High. 3-- 52-5- LOS ANGELES il'PL In the three seasons thai John Wooden has been away from college basketball three different schools have won the NCAA title. Indiana was the champion in ltlTti, Marquette captured the crown last year and Kentucky won at St Louis Monday night. Wooden, who directed UCLA to an amazing 10 NCAA titles in a dozen years liofore retiring after UCLA beat Kentucky in the finals at San Diego in 1975, doesnt think dynasties are a thing of the past, though. In fact, he feels its actually easier to create a dynasty today than it's ever been. Freshman Rule Helps "Whenever theres a dynasty in any sport. Wooden said, "there are always people to say it cant happen again. But it does happen. M may be infrequent but it does happen. "1 sort of feel in many respects that it's easier to have a dynasty in college sports than it was in the past because of the freshman rule. With the iour-yea- r rule, you have a chance of winning it all four years with a four-yea- r group. Ive opposed allowing freshmen to compete in varsity spoils because 1 think it does hurt the individual, hut it does strengthen the possibility of a dynasty." Wooden pointed out that Jack Givens and Hick 8 victory Roliey, who sparked Kentucky to its over Duke for the NCAA title, played for the Wildcats three years ago at San Diego. The Bruins won that title game Going as strong as ever, Wooden may be retired as a coach but be remains extremely close to college basketball. He serves as a color commentator for television games, does a number of coaching clinics, speaks at colleges, conducts a number ot summer camps and does promotional work for a basketball shoe. Hes also in the process of writing two books, one on the mechanics of basketball and one on motivation in sports. C ,l 97s Oil Sunday night al the Los Angeles Athleln Club the second annual John R.

"I convinced him of two things. convinced him that. lu st, the pros knew the true market value of the college eople they were drafting and, second, this award would Ik- - unique liecause it was patterned right after the Ilcisman." 92-8- Fast-Pace- d Life fts a fast paced life especially to a man of 87 but Wooden obviously prefers it to spending his retirement years in front of a television set. I Tom Hchcrt. vice president and director ot public relations for LAAC, thought up the idea ot the award along the lines of college football's Ifeisman Tropin He sold the idea to Wooden but not without an argument. Wooden was lukewarm to the proposal at first because he felt such an award with his name on trom other college baskelball it might detract award Wooden will tie in thieaeo Saturday afternoon for Angeles in coaching clinic, hut hell fly hack to time for Sunday nights dinner at the LAAC.
