Playing AIDS odds can be fatal for heterosexuats LOS ANGELES (AP) — The average heterosexual American faces an extremely small chance of getting the AIDS virus during sex, but as Magic Johnson learned, even a remote risk can become a deadly reality. “Even if the risk is small, why take a chance? There is no cure for this disease,” said Nancy Padian, an epidemiologist at the University of California at San Francisco. She added, “Unless you’re damn sure your partner is uninfected, then use condoms.” Other than abstaining from sex, heterosexuals can minimize the chance of getting AIDS by knowing their lovers well so they can avoid sex with people who had numerous lovers, had homosexual encounters, used intravenous drugs or tested ‘positive for the AIDS virus, experts - said.

The AIDS virus is most often spread through the sexual exchange of infected blood, semen or vaginal fluid, and by sharing contaminated needles. A 1987 study by Dr. Jeffrey E. Harris of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology estimated an average American’s chance of getting AIDS from a single act of heterosexual intercourse may be less than one in a million — an esti- mate Harris said is still valid. But an individual’s real risk depends on “how much sex you have, who you have it with and where (geographically) you have it,” said Harris, an MIT economist and internist at Massachusetts General Hospital. In the United States, AIDS is most often spread among homosexuals or intravenous drug users.

But , more important to the on-the- ‘court leader is a winning season -and beyond that some postseason play for his USU team. In Coach Kohn Smith’s fourth year, such success would be a lock if the game were played by guards only. The Aggies return their top two scorers from the 11 and 17 team of a year ago - and they're both guards. Another significant new Aggie is smooth 65" BYU transfer Todd Gentry who spent last season as a redshirt. Smith said he is excited about the offense Gentry will add.

All, that is, except Blackwell. . . He heard the piercing ping of the gun, but fora moment the world stood, still. His back foot pushed forward with the thrust of a rocket engine, but his lead leg failed to follow suit. His body, stretched out through the blocks, laid frozen as he watched the other seven entrants speed off. Almost instinctively he pushed up with his hands, gritted his teeth and set off on what seemed like an impossible task. Suddenly, the vigor and vitality seemed to be gone. His stomach drooped like an empty potato bag as his knees scraped across the cinder track. Blackwell had. previously competed in three events including the high jump which was still in full swing. And, it seemed the strenuous activities of the day which began at 9 a.m. had taken their toll. Chases Third Gold Medal It would have been easy for the Laker star to consider the bad jump out of the blocks a stroke of bad luck and concede the loss, but the thought never entered his head. Clay had already won a pair of gold medals and shattered two Weber State Invitational records, but he wouldn’t aie lax and pass up the opportunity for a third first-place medal. He zipped past a pair of runners at the 50-yard mark, but to win was still entirely out of the question. His thigh muscles cringed and pulled, the sweat flowed like a spring stream as he accelerated into third piace after 120-yards. _. His arms jerked up and down in Hiythel to his swaying head as he edged into second place. Suddenly, the 100-yard dash, high jump and 440-yard relay flashed before him signaling his legs that not much more punishment could be tolerated as he dropped a good seven yards behind the leader. But the leader also tired a bit as his arms dnGeped below his waist: Clay pleaded with his senses to produce — just one last burst of speed as he pulled up even with Cottonwood’s Steve Anderson with only 15-yards remaining. Neither rocket-man could manufacture the slightest lead as Blackwell won the race by an eyelash with a 4 A wis Graves The gasped for air and cuddled his precious legs as if congratulating them on their finesse and power as the announcer boomed forth the winning time of 22.43 which was just seven-hundredths of a second better than Anderson. uy guess I had a little trouble getting out of the | blocks,” Clay said as he pulled on a sweatshirt and brushed his brow. ‘‘Boy, I’m not complaining after a win like that, but the wind sure made it tough to set anywhere and make up ground. “‘T like to get out of the blocks like a leopard and run well down the straightaway and burn the corner,”’ Clay continued. “‘It’s meets like this that we’re going to be up against the whole conditioning. year and it really takes a lot of ‘““‘We’re always competing strenuously in etait to get ready, but there’s no test like the real thing. When it comes you’ve got to be ready for it. I guess some fatigue from a few of the other events started to get to me,”’ the speedster with the heavily-taped ankles concluded as he | hustled off to finish competition in the high jump. | It was a memorable day for Clay last Saturday at ' Weber as he collected three gold medals and was one of the final eight men in the high jump. He shattered the meet record in the 100-yard dash with a 10.01 clocking bettering his own mark established in 1974 of 10.1 and also led off the Bonneville 440-yard relay team which saw another Laker standout, Kim Coombs, anchor the team to a meet record.time of 43.83. The Laker stalwarts of Blackwell and Coombs couldn’t quite conjure up a victory in the meet as Olympus came on at the end to outdistance them, 63-58, but that may all change Saturday at the Salt Lake Invitational at South High School. “It’s still early in the year, and we're still inproving,”’ Blackwell said. ‘‘Kim and I and a few others on our team are capable of taking state in a couple of events by the end of the year. We’ll be ready when the time comes.’ And, after last week’s superlative performance, one may be tempted to take Blackwell’s words as gospel. ~ Lakers, Darts - . : Capture { V5 : i @ ‘“We’ve been. planning this ‘for thrée _years,”’ said Peterson. “We ha oi zi _ dence and our coach is the best in the © ‘world.

IN CLASSROOM AND ON GRIDIRON Dedication Brings Clay Blackwell Success By DENNIS LARSEN mom wanted me to go to Weber so I would be home, but I wanted to get out on my own and see life a little. I’m glad I went there. I saw two sides of life-and I changed a lot, i added Blackwell, Blackwell’s football career at Brigham Young University never did quite pan out to his expecta- _ Standard-Examiner Staff The first thing you notice about Clay Blackwell is his determination. No matter what he’s into at the moment, Blackwell brings a fierce dedication to it. And that dedication. helped him develop from just another black football player into one of BYU’s most wellliked and successful scholar athletes. To watch Blackwell in action was to marvel at the amazing speed of this lithe man on cleats. A relative Lilliputian in the world’ of monstrous Gulliver’s, he was just 5-9 and tions. “I thought I’d go down to BYU and be a football star, get all the girls and be a BMOC (Big Man on Campus), but it didn’t turn out like that. I played some, but never did start a game at BYU. GOT SIDETRACKED “T got sidetracked in a negative way and that made me see football 174 pounds. He was quick and few wasn’t everything. It made me see could keep up with him. He had all the light, made me mature, made the right instincts and all the right me apply myself. My peers said, moves. ‘Clay, graduate from school even if Blackwell starred at Bonneville you don’t play football.’ Jeff Blanc High School, earning all-region, (who got drafted by the St. Louis all-state and All-America honors Cardinals) told-me to graduate, he besides setting both rushing and later told me ‘I wish I had.’ After I scoring records for the Lakers. saw how important school was I Brent Hancock, then the coach of Bonneville, and now serving in the:. »started to get something out of it. same capacity at Clearfield High A thletes: don’ t realize what they've had a big influence on Blackwell's « go ackwel l alternated between career, ‘‘I like coach Hancock, he’s . — a good guy, he was a person I could talk to. He pushed me and would | only let me play when I was ready. He never discouraged me, told me I would get a scholarship, and said if Ineeded any help to come to him because he’d been through it,’’ said Blackwell. : Blackwell then. spurned offers from Weber State and elected to go to. Brigham. Young University where he is to believed to be the first black Utahn to graduate from | the ‘Y’. He graduated this spring with a degree in communications. ‘‘My dreams were bigger than Weber State, and the coaching staff at WSC" Wiss bake unstable.

Iredshirted my sophomore year and didn’t play hardly at all as a junior. I had a good social life and I still wanted to be a BMOC. In the spring of ’78 I decided to do all I could to come back strong in the fall of ’78, (During the ’78 season Blackwell was among the nation’s leaders in-kick- off returns). ‘In the spring of ’79 I was the starting tailback tthe first three days of practice until I hurt my side. I had a chance, got hurt and lost my position. Football was secondary to me. This past season I played a little bit and got to the Holiday Bowl, but I wasn’t concerned ahout football.”’ Being: black and attending a Mormon-owned school with a predominant white enrollment didn’t bother Blackwell; in fact it helped». him encourage and recruit other blacks to attend BYU. ‘‘It didn’t affect me. when I first went down. there because I’ve been around Mormons all my life. I felt special, I was the only black on the team at: the time. I never felt alone, I was. just another guy the only black. who liked being — “T felt like I was the one who should recruit blacks.

He was Mormon sec- and he more or less made up his mind to go there, I kinda’ helped him make up his mind, Stan Younger was the third recruit. He showed a nonchalant attitude, didn’t know if he was coming or not.’’ ~ Blackwell credits his parents, Willard and Adeen, with being a positive influence on his career. ‘They helped me a lot, I really didn’t know how important my parents were. Everything was always up front, always positive. education was. I always tried to listen to what they said. They really told me how important They depend on football, have education. ” said, you’ve , | °: ‘Don’t «: got to. ° ‘
