BEA TY STARS Utah sinks Kentucky, 137-w127 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (')t -Zelmo Beaty led Utah's bal- anced offense with 32 points last night as the Stars downed the Kentucky Colonels 137-127 to take a 3-2 lead in their best-of- seven American Basketball As- sociation championship playoffs. Utah can wrap up the series Saturday in Louisville in a na- tionally televised game. Frazier ready for next bout PHILADELPHIA (P) - Joe Frazier, world heavyweight box- ing champion, who said soon after his March 9 victory over Muhammad Ali that he might retire from the ring, now says he is looking for a fight this year. "I can't stay put anywhere," Frazier said. "I can't just ay6 back and rest. That's why I ask- ed Yank (his manager Yancey Durham) to get me a fight this year." "Joe wants another fight and I'll try to get it for him," Dur- ham promised. "But I still would like to see him retire. I tried to persuade him but he's set on fighting again. "I got a telegram from Vince McMahon of Washington and Willie Gilzenburg of Newark, N.J., offering me a million dol- lars to fight somebody, they didn't mention names, and I guess they want it in Atlantic City," said Durham. Frazier leaves tomorrow with his eight-piece rock band, The Knockouts, for a tour of 29 cities in 11 European countries. "I'll be back here doing real workouts when we get back from Europe," the champion said at his gym. "I have to do some- thing to keep the weight down." Frazier said his present weight is 215 pounds, 10 more than when he weighed in for the Ali beout. Utah never trailed after spurt- ing to an 11-3 lead in the open- ing minutes and roaring to a 75-56 lead by halftime. The Stars led by as many as 20 points in the second half, although the Colonels made a meager comeback bid in the fourth quarter. Kentucky pulled to within sev- en at 132-125 on Cincy Powell's three-point goal with 35 seconds left. Kentucky center Dan Issel hit 33 points, 27 in the first half to lead all scorers. Powell added 22 for the Colonels. Glen Combs and Ron Boone backed up Beaty with 25 and 24 points, respec- tively for Utah. FIVE YEAR DEAL: Mentor Mota CHICAGO (4P) - The Chicago Bulls announced yesterday that Dick Motta, the National Bas- ketball Association Coach of the Year, has signed a five-year contract with the Bulls. Motta's salary in the new agreement was not disclosed but Pat Williams, Bulls' general manager, said, "We feel we have come up with the finest contract in sports for Dick." The announcement ended speculation that Motta, 39, would sign to coach the Texas Chaparrals of the American Basketball Association. It was reported that the AB9 team offered Motta $60,000 a year. Motta said that money w a not the factor that persuaded him to stay in Chicago. "I don't think my job is done yet in Chicago," he said. One factor which led appar- ently to Motta's decision was that he will now be able to choose his assistant coach. Wil- lHams announced that Jerry Krausse has resigned as chief Play was interrupted briefly in . the third quarter when Powell and Boone started slugging un- der the Kentucky basket. Powell left the game with cuts on his right eyebrow and left el- bow. He was called for a per- sonal foul and a technical was whistled on Boone. The Stars dominated the firs' half, shooting 53 per cent an" hitting five of six three-point shots. Combs, with 11 points, a' Boone with 10 led Utah to a 25 first quarter lead. Utah's Merv Jackson, slowed ' ' by a knee injury, sat out most of the game but still scored points, 13 in the second quart' inks new pact Motta had complained about not having his choice as assist- ant coach and the Texas offer would have given him the right to name one, presumably Phil Johnson, Motta's long-time friend and successor as coach at Weber State College. Neither Motta nor Williams would confirm that Johnson will now join the Bulls but Williams said, "We will hire a coach of Motta's choice." Williams said that the length-j of Motta's new contract is "what makes it so good. "I don't know of a professional basketball team that has given a coach such a long contract." Motta joined the Bulls three years ago from Weber State and turned them into a NBA con- X tender. The Bulls finished the 1970-71 season with a 51-31 re- cord, good for second place in the Midwest division and the third best over-all record in the league. The Bulls lost a spirited play- off series to the Los Angeles Lakers, four games to three. A loving embrace?
