When a maximum of 34 has been reached and there are still competitors in the event, the 75-yard tow rope is shortened by 12 feet for the next trip. If eliminations still are not completed by this, the rope is made another si feet shorter. All classes except men start at 22-24 mph for the first time and back over the course. Each starting gate made or buoy rounded counts one point. It is a miss to ride over or straddle a buoy but just touching a buoy with body or ski is not penalized. A fall on the course ends the run, but a contestant gets credit for buoys rounded before a fall. A buoy is not scored until the skier returns to the boat wake. A fall outside the course while the tow boat is turning for a return trip con cludes the run. 24 by 12 Board Jumps are made over a board 24 feet long and 12 feet wide with about 20 feet of the board protruding above the water. High end of the board is six feet above the water surface for men and five feet for other classes. A skier may have the tow boat pass the ramp at any de sired distance but boat path must be parallel to the side of the jump. The entrant, however, may swing or angle into the board with a whip ping maneuver, which with leg action aids in achieving greater distances. , Men have an optional top speed of 35 miles per hour and other classes 28. Going straight at the top permitted speed, and not using leg or whip action a jumper can leap only around 35 feet. But with the whip and leg sprint it is estimated that a speed of 55 mph is attained with less than .2 of a second on the ramp. World record jump is 126 feet. Judges score on form, al lowing one point for, approach and time on ramp, up to four points for time in air and up to five for landing. A skier is given three successive jumps: For a leap to count the entry must regain balance and ski to a buoy 150 yards past the end of the ramp. Can't Touch Line A jumper is forbidden to touch any part of the tow line other than the handle while in the air. It is possible to pass up a jump, for specified rea- sons, without penalty. Other rules govern injury . and equipment repair delays. . A contestant gets two 20 second passes through the course in trick riding. During this time he performs as many tricks as possible.

SPORTS Patterson Ready for Anything This is the second of two dispatches in which world's heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson gives ,his own assesment of his com ing title defense against Roy Harris in Los Angeles Aug. 18. BY FLOYD PATTERSON Heavyweight Champion Los Angeles (UPD Every body asks me my plan of ac tion for my fight with Roy Harris. I have to say honestly that I haven't any except, I guess, Lto follow the rule my mana ger, Cus d'Amato, learned in his Army days. That's always be ready for anything that might happen. I'm training to go 15 rounds, although I naturally hope I can end it earlier. Harris is an unknown quan tity to us, although his unde feated record and everything we've heard about him makes me expect the toughest fight I've had. Craterian ihealrn here will have a television show ing of the Floyd Paterson Roy Harris heavyweight title" boxing bout on Mon day, Aug. 18. Tickets are on sale at the theatre. There will be no home television of the fight. I've met Roy just once in street clothes -but he im presed me as a strong, calm and intelligent fellow. We know he is a wonderfully con ditioned athlete, but this time he'll be meeting someone who also believes in keeping in perfect shape. Cus saw Harris fight an ex hibition and says Roy knows his way around in the ring. But naturally he wasn't going all out' with my manager watching him. - Conflicting Advice ' Otherwise, we've had noth ing but conflicting advice. Some sajr he keeps his hands high, others that he keeps them low. Some saj he " can hit, others that he can't. You hear he likes to jab, and then again that he doesn't. All in- all, the only thine to do is just to ignore all those confusing reports. That's all right with me. I never have liked to know too much about an opponent's style. Then he might do something you don't expect and really surprise you. A fight rarely follows a set plan anyway. You just have to make up your pattern as you go along.. If a fighter is any good, and worthy of being called a champion he should be able to cope with any situ ation that may arise. One thing we do expect is that Harris can take a punch. The only man to have him on the canvas was Bob Baker, and when a 218-pounder like Bob Baker happens to get a punch in, he can knock any fighter down, The important thing is that Harris got up and won the bout. Well, all I can say is that the meaner and the more rugged Roy is, the better I'll like it. I hope to be champion for a long time, but I also want to be remembered as a great champion. I believe Harris is capable of giving me the fight of my life, but I confidently expect that when it's over Floyd Pat terson will still be champion. SEEKS REGIONAL SKI LAURELS Vicki Van Hook, Los Angeles, national junior girls overall water ski ' champion last year, will aim for a fourth straight region al diadem next week end in the Western Regional cham pionships at Gardener lake.
