Zorn:
Seattle’s quarterback
ponders pro football
Jim Zorn pondered the question for a minute,
then began to speak freely.
“One thing we learned last year is that we hate
to lose," said the Seattle Seahawks quarterback,
who was in town last weekend to address the
Oregon coaches football clinic.
Zorn’s Seahawks finished the 1980 National
Football League campaign with a record of 4-12 —
including eight losses at home in the Kingdome.
“We learned that you can lose in the last minute
whether you are ahead or behind,” he said. “We
just didn't prove our two-minute offense like we
should have."
Zorn, who has guided the Seahawks from his
Quarterback slot since the team’s inception five
He’s been with them ever since.
Oregon's assistant football coach Eric
Whidmark brought Zorn to the coaches clinic,
Zorn said.
“He was my college coach and gave me a solid
base for quarterbacking," said Zorn. “I would
really like to thank him for that. I also like to come
down here to see how he is doing.”
And he likes to tell a few things to college
athletes who have any professional aspirations.
"First I tell them to get an education,” he said.
"Also, it is important to take advantage of every
shot you get. When you get that big shot, though,
be prepared to take advantage of it. Just don’t
mess around.”
years ago, never had any aspir
ations of becoming a profes

While at college calling sig

scouts began to frequent the

“During my junior and senior years I really
didn’t have the desire to play professional
football,” he said. “But during my senior year, the
scouts started coming around. I couldn't believe
it. I really didn’t think that I could play pro foot
ball.”
But when the NFL draft came around in May of
1975, Jim Zorn’s name was not mentioned once
during the 17 rounds. Up until last year, the NFL
draft had been 17 rounds. Last year it was
changed to 12 rounds.
“I thought I might get drafted,” Zorn said. “It
was kind of different experience when I didn’t get
drafted when I thought I would.”
Undaunted, Zorn signed with the Dallas Cow
boys as a free agent. He survived the Cowboy
training camp until the final cut, when he was the
last player dropped from the team. Zorn then
signed with the Seahawks.
Seattle was taking a chance on this 6-2,
200-pound signal-caller — the Seahawks were
hoping Zorn could lead them through their
maiden season and eventually into the playoffs.
Zorn didn’t mess around when he got his.
In five years with the Seahawks, Zorn has rung
up some pretty impressive statistics. He has
completed 1,121 of 2,126 passes for 14,548 yards.
He has tossed 80 touchdowns and 82 intercep
tions.
During the 1980 season, Zorn completed 276
passes out of 488 attempts for 3,346 yards and 17
touchdowns. He also ran for 214 yards and has
1,170 career rushing yards.
Additionally, Zorn is only one of four NFL
quarterbacks in history to throw for more than
3,000 yards in three consecutve seasons.
"Seattle has been a great experience for me so
far,” said Zorn. “I think we’ll be much improved
next year because it shouldn’t be hard to improve
on that 0-8 record at home.
"Right now I’m in great shape and our receivers
are in good shape. And we also had a good draft
in getting Kenny Easley (a defensive back from
UCLA) and other players who will help us out. I
think we’ll be a better ball club.”

Celts just need one more
BOSTON (AP) - Robert Pa
rish and Cedric Maxwell led a
furious first-quarter Boston
burst as the Celtics got their
running game going early and
breezed to a 109-80 victory over
the Houston Rockets Tuesday
night for a 3-2 lead in the Na
tional Basketball Association
championship series.
The Celtics will try to wrap up
their 14h NBA title in Houston
Thursday night. If the Rockets
win that one, the best-of-seven
playoff finals would be decided
here Sunday afternoon.
Boston’s running game had
been closely checked by the
Rockets in the first four games
of the series. But midway
through the first quarter of the
fifth game, the Celtics finally got
their fast break in high gear and
raced away from Houston with a
dazzling 19-1 surge.
Larry Bird started it off by
hitting a 12-foot jumper that
gave Boston a 15-14 lead with
6:02 left in the first period. Nate
Archibald sank a 16-foot
jumper, and Maxwell scored on
a spinning layup before Hous
ton center Moses Malone sank a
free throw
Bird set up Chris Ford for a
fastbreak layup and then Parish,
the Celtics' 7-foot center, took
over. He scored eight consecu
tive points and blocked a shot
by Houston's Bill Willoughby to
set up a three-point play by
Maxwell that gave Boston a
32-15 lead with 1:23 left in the
opening period.
The Celtics, who were ahead
34-19 after the first quarter,
widened their advantage to
59-37 at halftime. Maxwell had
16 points in the first half and
Parish 14, while Malone scored
13 for the Rockets.
If the Celtics win Thursday,
they will claim their first title
since 1976 and end the
Rockets’ Cinderella hopes for
their first championship ever.
