Mills Cienshrw and I both wear black belts. He got his for slapping ana kicking and pulling his punches. I bought mine. He's a Karateist. Im just a peac old y ; skier. x if He "alks lnt0 : 4. $ijT trouble to scoie his points. I ski away from it. I even give the pine trees enough room to pass. Mills had some of us press people in for an instructional session on Karate. He wanted to brief us so that we would know' something of the basics as we approached the World Open championships and the Tournament of Champions, a two-da- y classic in in Mills Crenshaw the new Salt Palace. The Palace wont be completed by then. Neither will my education in Karate. Before Mills and his men maneuvered through their various kicks and wiggles Monday I thought I knew enough about Karate to avoid it. Now Im convinced I know nothing about it. Inasmuch as I understand nothing about what I know of Karate let me try and inform you, dear l:v mid-Apr- il leader. Like A Mortician's Coat In simple words, two players approach each other, each wearing GIs. Thats the suit its pronounced gees. Looks like a morticians coat with trousers and very large and uncomfortable belts like I use to lash down the covers on my snowmobiles. below-the-kne- e They are bare-foote- d, and bare- bare-heade-d fisted. They approach each other with hands moing, like two St. Bernard puppies boxing each other. The game is to score as many points as you can against your adversary- and youYe given points for almost in the groin, almost hitting the head, almost chopping the neck, almost throwing the man to the ground, almost hitting him when hes down. - - The game is one of pulling punches. You al- most destroy the man. And you are scored according to how well you almost do. For instance, if you provide a blow to the temple which, if completed, would have killed the foe then, because you didnt complete it, and had enough bent elbow left to prove to the judges that you could have destroyed him, then you get a point. If jou fiiil to pull the pun i enough that you injure or destroy the man then you lose the point. If you destroy the man you are eliminated from the tournament. Needless to say jour opponent is By NORM SHEYA the one that both schools just must have. The Utes lose it and 31 years of basketball in Einar Nielsen ends on a sour note. Deseret News Sports Writer The Utes are getting a little more English on the ball these days and if it carries oer into the last three games, they just might pull it off. Thats referring to a share of the Western Athletic Conference title and that would be the biggest surprise since LBJ resigned. No kidding! Coach Jack Gardner has transformed those raw, youngsters i ito a bonafide threat. Not- Like Football - Can the public understand Karate like they understand football, basketball, tennis and golf? I think not. Its fast and its furious. Mills says people who are sitting hack in the midsection of the gallery can see it better than those up close. Yet judges are right in the ring with the combatants four of them (what a time TV would have trying to see the match it has its aches with one referee in a boxing brawl). Judo was understandable to the average fan after awhile. You got the feeling that someone had to throw another down or tip him off balance. Karate is unlike Judo in that with Judo you grapple. In Karate jou strike only jou dont rea!-- . !y strike, if jou follow me. If you dont follow me thats understandable, loo. To watch the action reminds me of two men suddenly finding themselves swatting their way out of a swarm of wasps. How Do You Write It? What bothers me, as a reporter, is how I could possibly describe the match. With boxing you can say that Fullmer got caught with a right cross and countered with a thundering right to Spider Webb's jaw. You see the welts on the forehead, the buckle in the knees, the canvas against the back. In boxing jou lose respect if jou pull a punch, or lift a foot to a man's groin, or hit him when hes down or catch him in the kidney while hes turned. In Karate this foul play is what wins. It will take a little time for this fan to undo the Marquis of Queensbury code of conduct and come to Karate. Methinks also, that six weeks is not time enough. But in fairness to Mills and his punch-pulleI shall trj. It's honor to our city and state that the Kara-tcis- will come to us for their world championships. The least we can do is try to understand what it is all about. A Ai.A.1 a. rs ts Tuesday.

And English had help again w Wallace was something else with those jump shots that were good for 24 points. But from there it tailed off terribly.

The balanced Ute attack was too much for the simply team that Oklahoma Ruli City parades. Travis and Charlie Wallace almost pulled it olf, but not quite. Travis showed more touch under pressure than any guaid m a long, long time. His final tally was 39 with 13 of 13 from the foul line. His 13 of 28 from th field isnt overly impressive unless you saw the shots he tried. Most players would have every tiling.
