Theldeal was necessitated when Robinson and the temperamental Maravich butted egos. Because Maravich has a no-trade clause in his Contract, Robinson was the one logo Baylor publicly complained about Robinson’s loss and how he was not informed of the deal until after it was made. Baylor was unavailable for comment Thursday. Hatfield, who spoke for the executive committee consisting of principal owner Sam Battistone and local minority owners Sheldon leychok and Lee Schlesinger, ilamed the Jazz players on the slow start, saying they were not motivated to play. | The Jazz, who have been trying to negotiate with officials in Salt Lake , City for a new home, now must hire a general manager and a new head mangers remain defeated coach. The club has been without a general manager for more than a year after Lewis Schaffel left in a dispute with management. There doesn’t seem to be any hurry (to hire a new coach),” said Jazz spokesman Dave Fredman. “The draft isn’t until June 25. It’s our advantage because it’s a late draft.” Baylor was a willing assistant to the fiery Van Breda Kolff from 1974 to 1976. He took command in the middle of the 1976-77 season and the Jazz finished the season with a 35-47 record. New Orleans missed the playoffs by two games in 1977-78 with a 39-43 record, then struggled this year with Maravich on the sidelines for nearly half the year. lee SUPER LONG-NECK SPECIAL £°2 rS - $169 Budweiser I Lite 3611 S.

If you are not covered by a retirement plan you can still qualify for a tax-sheltered savings plan that reduces 1978 income tax. The Individual Retirement Account (IRA) offers self-employed workers (and others not covered by any pension or retirement program) an easy way to set aside savings and reduce current income taxes. The maximum amount, established by law, is 15% of income or $1,500 (whichever is less). Married workers can set aside a total of $1,750 if their spouse is not employed. A new feature of the law this year permits workers to exercise their option to create an IRA for 1978 income any time before they file their 1978 income tax return (normally prior to April 15, 1979). So you still have time to take advantage of this tax savings. Every IRA dollar invested in BB6?L earns 8% interest (an effective annual yield of 8.33%), the maximum interest permitted by law. No financial institution can pay you more. It’s easy to set up an IRA with BBSfL. We’ve streamlined the procedure and minimized the paperwork. You can handle all the details in one visit. For information on your specific tax situation, talk to your accountant or your attorney. For information on IRA, talk to Hazel Holland, BB&Ii’s 1BA specialist.
