| Show m ?C The Salt Lake Tribune " 'r"r -- yW1111 - f Evert Lloyd To Curtail Pro Career Wednesday January 28 1987 Warriors Red-H- ot Down Cyprus By Phil Miller Tribune Sports Writer So you think the weather's been streaky lately first unseasonably hot then bitterly cold? Well Mother Nature’s got nothing on the’ Taylorsville and Cyprus basketball teanis The Warriors and Pirates traded hot streaks and cold spells Tuesday night but Taylorsville turned up the heat in the second half to pull out a bizarre 4 Region Three victory Taylorsville shot an incredible 81 percent (13 of 16) from the field after halftime to finally put Cyprus away Said Warriors coach Dan Leatherwood “If we don’t shoot that well tonight we lose” The Warriors now 2 in league play started fast opening a 19-- 5 lead It was exactly what Cyprus coach Mark Wilson had hoped to 62-5- avoid "They did the same thing to us last year” said Wilson “This year we wanted to keep it tight but they didn’t miss too much in the first five minutes” But the Pirates 5 took over the hot hand from there going on an 2 run to close the gap then finishing the half with eight straight points to take an emotional lift and just a four-poideficit into the locker room “I just told the kids 14 points isn't such a big lead I knew if we kept taking good shots they'd start to fall” Wilson said “It was only 2-- matter of time” While Cyprus’ pressing defense flustered a 1191 Warriors to open the third quarter the Pirates exploded behind the hot hand of Sam Adams a transfer from Belgium playing in the- - just his third game for Cyprus Behind Adams’ eight points and the hot hand of guard Sidney Freeman the visitors caught Taylorslead ville and built their own And then a cold front settled over Cyprus Suddenly nothing would fall for the Pirates while seemingly everything went in for Taylorsville Cyprus managed only two free e throws in an span getting their first fourth-quarthoop with just 1:43 left in the game That span a 17-- 2 Taylorsville outburst decided the game 42-3- 7 eight-minut- 62-5- 4 "I think mostly we just got tired” Wilson said “I didn't use many players tonight and we sort of sagged there at the end Every shot seemed to bounce off the front of the rim” g The game was basically a contest throughout something Cyprus had hoped for After all the Pirates own probably trio ir the state the best outside-shootin- g with Adams Freeman and Mike Nunley "But and there’s were our shots were that was the difference” Leather-woo- d said And Taylorsville had the best outside shooter on this night anyway in forward Chad Christensen whose impressive marksman23 points The ship earned him a game-hig- h junior has only been a starter for seven games and is still something of a secret in Region Three But he’s shooting 53 percent for the season sinking shot after shot from 12- - to range so word’s going to get out quick “Teams haven’t been looking for me to score so I’m left open a lot” Christensen said “I guess tonight was a pretty hot night but I’ve been making making that shot all year” Kearns 51 Skyline 4 At Skyline the Eagles blew an early lead and allowed the Cougars to build a bulge late in the game When John Vranes missed two free throws

For America’s Cup Testing FREMANTLE Australia (UPI) — Dennis Conner’s Stars & Stripes and Iain Murray’s Kookaburra III both relishing heavy weather conditions frantically tested sails Tuesday for a possible light air America’s Cup final Weather bureau officials said a high pressure system off the coast of Western Australia could continue for several days keeping light winds and calm seas over the Indian Ocean course Both yachts smashed their rivals in the challenger and defender finals in heavy winds and roaring seas now turned placid “Weather will have a great bearing in the outcome of the series” Conner said after practicing with trial horse Stars & Stripes ’85 in breezes of 5 knots that blasts earlier in compared with the month Conner again was armed with a stacked spinnaker nicknamed "Dolly” and a new mainsail made of a lightweight fabric The San Diego Calif skipper said he thought "Dolly” — with 36 expandable pockets — “will give us an edge in slight winds” Kevin

Ricky Grace and Dave Sieger finished with 13 points apiece for Oklahoma 3 1 Lloyd “The injury and personal problems came at the same time” she said “It the injury gave me time to clear my head and be by myself It’s going to be a positive in the long run” She first exploded onto the tennis scene in 1971 when as a high school student she reached the semifinals of the US Open Since then she has won six US Open titles and has never been eliminated before the semifinal round Her most remarkable record is a winning streak on clay stretching from August 1973 to May 1979 She dominated women’s tennis in the 1970s and early 1980s and was ranked No 1 for seven years in that period She reached the semifinals or better at every Grand Slam event she played until Wimbledon in 1983 when she was upset by Kathy Jordan in the third round It was during practice at Wimbledon last year that her left knee locked on her “After Wimbledon I went home and saw a doctor and he told me to rest it After Wimbledon I should have gotten it straightened out “But I wanted to go to Prague for the Federation Cup where Martina Navratilova a member of the United States was returning for the first time since her defection in 1975 That was a great week” “I'm not overplaying” she said “I just want to work hard and play hard I want to enjoy my rest weeks and have fun but I want to have commitment to my tennis “I didn’t experience emotion when I won before” she said explaining her early success “It was ‘I have to get on to the next match’ “Now I remember the highs the last few years and they’re worth it” 125-mat- victory over Portland — UPI Photo Indiana Pacers’ Walker Russell (31) drives around Atlanta Hawks’ Antoine Carr (35) Tuesday night during NBA duel at the Omni in Atlanta By Bob Greene AP Tennis Writer NEW YORK — Chris Evert Lloyd says this will be her final year of full participation on the women’s tennis tour She will continue however to play selected tournaments including Wimbledon and the French US and Australian Opens “I would be very very surprised if I play inpast this year” Lloyd said in a telephone “The work for before Japan terview leaving is very hard now” The Lloyd has won at least one Grand Slam singles title every year since 1974 a remarkable string In her career she has won 148 titles and 1143 matches the most of any player male or female since tennis’ open era began in 1968 "It takes me longer to get warmed up longer to recover from a tough match” she said of her decision to drastically cut back her schedule after 1987 “It is tougher but I still enjoy the commitment that I make to tennis” Her last tournament victory came at Roland Garros in June where she defeated Martina Navratilova in the women’s final of the French Open Ironically her first Grand Slam singles title was won on the slow red clay surface at Roland Garros Following that victory she suffered a knee injury that eventually forced her to withdraw from several tournaments including the ending Virginia Slims Championships in November and this month’s Australian Open She says the injury the first serious one in her career was a blessing in disguise "I feel that it came at a good time” the Fort Lauderdale Fla native said “My head wasn’t into tennis anyway When this injury happened it was like a blessing in disguise” Besides her woes on the tennis court magnified by her injury Lloyd has separated from her husband British tennis star John only the options of changing the sails and rigging aboard the sleek multimillion-dol-la- r ocean racers While Kookaburra III was out of the water its older stablemate Kookaburra went practicing with a variety of sails some from Alan Bond’s defeated Australia IV campaign “We’re basically refining the sails we have” said Kookaburra spokesman Grant Donovan “But we also are testing provided to us by Bond and we will certainly use them in the Cup” Conner’s team seeking to return the Cup to the United States after the loss to Australia in 1983 had a full day of sailtesting trials Stars & Stripes earlier unveiled a stacked spinnaker featuring three rows of billowing pockets named for voluptuous country singer Dolly Parton who will be performing in Western Australia next month Chief Stars & Stripes sail designer and tactician Tom Whidden said the new spinnaker borrowed from America II but never used in the regatta is proving better than any spinnaker used so far Stars & Stripes also is testing a new mainsail woven from a mixture of Kevlar and a new thread Spectra 1000 developed by Allied chemicals with the tensile strength of previous weaves but less gen-nake- brittle Conner said he also is looking at light-ai- r sails from Tom Blackaller’s San Francisco US A team Tar Heels Still No 1 UNLV 2nd NEW YORK (UPI) — College
