Carter-Sadat
meeting continues
United Press International
CAMP DAVID, Md. — President
Carter and Egyptian President An
war Sadat met again Tuesday on a
refined Israeli proposal dealing with
the future of the West Bank of the
•Jordan River, summit conference
sources disclosed.
Tuesday s Carter-Sadat discussion
got under way at 10 a.m. and sources
said an official Egyptian response to
the Israeli offer would not come be
fore that conversation ends.
It was also learned that Sadat tele
phoned Jordan s King Hussein in
London Monday in an apparent ef
fort to sound out the Arab monarch
on the new proposals involving West
Bank sovereignty. The West Bank
territory, now occupied by Israel,
was formerly governed by Jordan.
In the past, Sadat has supported
Jordanian sovereignty over the West
Bank. Egyptian sources said Monday
the West Bank issue plus the Gaza
strip are the principal differences be
tween Egypt and Israel.
In a related development, it was
disclosed that a scheduled meeting
'between the American and Egyptian
ministerial delegations, scheduled
for 9 p.m. Monday, was canceled
without any official explanation.
That meeting was rescheduled for
2 p.m. Tuesday, according to the
White House.
Disclosure of the Sadat-Hussein
telephone call led to a spate of re
ports that Hussein was standing by
perhaps to fly to Camp David. White
House officials insisted, however,
there is no plan for Hussein to join
the summit.
As for the proposal itself, informed
sources said the Israelis had reformu
lated their offer and presented it to
Sadat on Monday for his considera
tion.
Sources also said each of the three
participating delegations have been
asked to draft documents indicating
how far they have progressed in re
solving the key issues.
Officials indicated Tuesday the
summit may run as late as Thursday,
or possibly later. Carter, according
to these officials, does not want any
arbitrary deadline to hang over the
talks if there is a chance of reaching
an agreement that will give way to
further peace negotiations.
On Monday, U.S. spokesman
Jody Powell told reporters the talks
have moved into “an intense and de
tailed phase to see if approaches can
be found to deal with the important
differences that remain.”
The conferees, said Powell, are
also “trying to refine areas where
there is agreement.

iy ‘prui, prut blind-folded
it’s hard to lose New Games
United Press International
Man FRANCISCO — The way
fince Lombardi, the late, great
^■ball coach, put it: “Winning isn’t
Rrything, it’s the only thing.
|But then Lombardi never played
Mi, or Infinity Volleyball or any of
Pother New Games that are teach -
H enthusiasts it can be better to
lose
RVhen people focus on the joy of
Wying, there are no losers, say
Mponents of New Gamesmanship.
■They fly in the face of the credo
Vt competition made the country
great and the flag respected. But
New Games are growing anyway, say
the founders.
®0ne of the first New Games inven
tors is Stewart Brand, publisher of
the Whole Earth Catalog which
caught the spirit of the young in the
late 1960s.
I Brand says he thought up the first
New Games Tournament “out of
shrieking boredom, my own and the
jpredom of other people, and that’s
raw material for any innova-
pOne of his first games was World
B/ar IV, later called Slaughter, in
which players try to do six or seven
things simultaneously — knock each
Other off a mat while placing basket
balls in waste baskets — while the
women try to depant the men.
■n this atmosphere the loser turns
out to be the center of attention, the
star of the event.
Prui is an elimination game in
which blindfolded players jump
around saying “prui, prui” until the
last of the species is left. “The loser is
the hero,’ says Brand, who does not
regard losing as a bad thing.
Infinity Volleyball is a collective
effort to keep a ball in the air to
communal shouts of "68, 69, 70 .”
The loser gets good-natured laughs.
“Personally, I am dubious about
any situation in life in which it is not
okay to make mistakes,” Brand says.
“Unless we make mistakes, things
can t get better.
Since their birth in 1973, New
Games have won 200,000 followers,
spreading into churches and schools.
They are more of an attitude than a
specific group of games.
People of all ages can play, there is
no second team, nobody gets hurt
and there’s lots of creativity. New
Games tend to be invented spon
taneously.
The idea is to experience coopera
tion as partners rather than as com
petitors. The hope is to create new
perspectives on how to work and live
with other people.
Thus, a crowd of New Games en
thusiasts can spend hours keeping an
Earthball — a large globe of the
world made of heavy canvas —
bouncing in the air through hard
breathing and alert, cooperative ef
fort.
Or the Earthball can be used com
petitively, as when one group lies on
its back encircled by a pickup team.
Those on their backs try to kick the
ball over the heads of the standing
team. The standees, using only their
hands, try to keep the ball in the
circle.
Some other activities are a tag
game called Snake in the Grass in
which everybody winds up on the
ground wiggling and hissing, Stan
doff in which two persons face-to-
face try to push each other off ba
lance, and People Pass in which a
person is hoisted and passed over
head along a double line and, as
Brand says, “everybody gets a ride. ”
This kind of sport is encouraged by
the New Games Foundation of San
Francisco, a non-profit organization
which organizes weekend training
programs around the country.
Brand is a foundation founder but
is no longer formally connected with
it. He puts out the Coevolution
Quarterly and serves Gov. Edmund
G. Brown Jr. as a parttime consultant
organizing public events and think
tank sessions in which Brown meets
offbeat but prestigious personalities.
Originally, Brand thought of New
Games “rather grandiosely, as a way
to reinvest in the culture the idea
that rules keep needing too be
changed. ”
Now he sees New Games “as just
another ingredient on the shelf for
loosening up a tight society. It’s just
another of the legacies of the 1960s. ”
