shot on Portland’s next possession, but the
Blazers got the ball back one more time with six
seconds left.
Portland had a time-out remaining but didn't
take it, and the clock expired as Kermit Washing
ton threw up a 40-foot air ball at the buzzer.

feld added 16 for Kansas City.
Bates led Portland with 25, while Thompson

Flores remains in Super stupor
SEATTLE (AP) - The Oak
land Raiders' Tom Flores spoke
Wednesday like a man who still
was under the influence of some
Super Bowl postgame victory
celebration champagne.
“This is something they can’t
ever take away from you — the
experience of being number
one," he said. “A championship
season is just as exciting as
hell."
Flores appeared absolutely
euphoric on the opening day of
the two-day American Football
Conference West Coaches
media meeting.
Also here were Dan Reeves,
brand new Denver Broncos'
rookie head coach, along with
Don Coryell of the San Diego
Chargers, Marv Levy of the
Kansas City Chiefs and Jack
Patera of the Seattle Seahawks

Bowl — is so big that it's iust

University Wednesday 9-0, im
proving their season record to
6-1.
“Overall, we're much too
strong for them,” said Oregon
coach Buzz Summers, "but our
kids also played exceptionally
well.”
The Ducks, who won 18
straight sets against the Vikings,
were led by senior Bill Whistler,
who slammed Steve Martini,
6-1, 6-3, in the number-one sin
gles match. The win raised his
record to 4-3.
Oregon's Mark Evans and Stu
Bartlett then teamed up to
defeat Martini and Eric Nelson,
6-3, 6-0, in the top doubles
event.
The Ducks now host South

2:30 p.m. and, according to
Summers, revenge will be on
Oregon’s mind. Last season,
SOC pinned a 6-3 upset defeat
on the Ducks when Summers
left the team’s top three players
in Eugene.
“We won’t lose to them this
year, ” says Summers, “the kids
have said that, and were going
to stick to it."

awesome,” he said with a smile.
"That whole week in New Or
leans was just an experience
that you’ll always treasure.
“It's an experience that you'd
like to have every year if the
emotional part of your body can
handle it.”
In only his second season as
the Raiders’ head coach, Flores
directed the AFC West wild-card
Raiders to a 27-10 victory over
the Philadelphia Eagles in
Super Bowl XV in the New Or
leans Superdome Jan. 25.
Flores made it clear the
Raiders hoped to field a better
team in 1981. He pointed out
Oakland has two first-round
picks in the National Football
League draft April 28.
At the other end of the spec
trum was Patera, whose
Seahawks finished 4-12 and in
the cellar of the AFC West.
Nevertheless, the Seahawks
added five years to Patera’s
contract, saying the club want
ed "stability.”
"I think we have a better foot
ball team than our record in
dicated,” said Patera, the five
year franchise's only head
coach.
