Blazers go mall-hopping for fun

Remember the days of hav
ing mom drop you and a
buddy off at a mall? You
wouldn’t go into any stores,
you just circled the place for
one reason and one reason
only:
To look for babes.
Of course now. we college
students go to the mall and
look at all the little guys
dressed up with their Raider
jackets, baggy pants and tilted
hats, and we know what they're
doing. They're trying to im
press the ladies, maybe get
iucky with a phone number be
fore the day is through.
But imagine if the mall was a
hot hangout for us twenty
somethings on the weekends —
not Guido's, not Taylor's, and
not the party down the street.
“Jump in the car guys. We're
goin' to Gateway tonight. I hear
it's ladies night Let's party!!!!"
Ridiculous, huh?
Not to a few members of the
Portland Trailbiazers
For a number of Blazers. the
mall still seems to be a meat
market.
last week, between 2-0 mem
bers of the Blazers allegedly
met some girls at a mall in Salt
Lake City and invited them
back to their hotel, where they
allegedly had sex with two lft
yeur-old girls
One girl claimed to have sex
with four or five of Blazers, and
the other said she had sex with
three.
Whom they had sex with is
still sketchy, but with all the
talk and rumors about what
happened that night, two things
are certain: Portland players in
vited the girls up to their room,
and sex did oo nr between the
girls and at least a couple Port
land players.
These guys ploy in the Na
tional Basketball Association,
make easily six or seven" digit
salaries a year, are members of
one of the top teams in profes
sional sports, are well in to
their 20s and a couple are bor

Blair runs wild at
meet
By Ertck Studenicka
Emeiaid Spofts Reporter __
Oregon heptathlete Kelly Blair looked in mid
season form Friday when she captured the high
jump title at the Eugene indoor track meet with a
leap of 5 feet 9 inches, only one inch below the
NC'AA indoor championship meet qualifying
standard.
Blair also set a meet record of 7.21 in the 55
meter hurdles in a qualifying race, but then failed
to place in the final after she was disqualified for
a false start For good measure, she placed second
in the long jump with a Ifl'l” effort.
Blair said that although she was near the NCAA
indoor qualifying mark in the high jump, she was
still concentrating primarily on the outdoor sea
son.
"Indoor trai k lets us get our feet wet with some
early season competition," Blair said. "I preter
outdoor track, but 1 do like jumping indoors as
the conditions are usually better with no wind
Oregon coach Tom Heinonen said that Hlair,
• who red shirt ed last year after playing basketball
for the Ducks, is performing well because she is
concentrating on track this year and not playing
basket ball.
“Kelly is beginning to see that track and field is
her sport In her all-American season her fresh
man year, she didn’t play basketball either."
Heinonen said. "Looking at tonight's results, it's a
great place for her to be this early in the season
Blair's Imst event, the heptathlon, is a combina
tion of seven different track and field events The
event ts not contested during the indoor season,
so Blntr will have to wait until spring to see if she
can better Camille lampolskv's si hool record of
551f> points Blair s< orwd 54(M in t1 and p!a< ed
second in the Pacific-10 conferem e meet.

ing *>.5 seconds. Other Oregon winners included
Michele limning in the BOO meter run, l.isa Bed
well in the 300 meter run. and Sara Unveil in the
50 meter hurdles
in the men's events, it appeared that Oregon
track alumni were using the meet as a reunion set
ting Former Duck Mohammad Oliver, now a
player on the Denver Bronco footlmll team, won
both the high and long jumps, and former Oregon
half-miler Shannon Lemora was involved in the
closest race of the evening, losing to law student
Greg Whitely in the final stretch of the 1000 meter
run.
Misfortune struck former Duck steeplechaser
Danny Lopez in the 3000 Lopez finished first in a
world class time of 8:00.7, but was then informed
he hud run one lap short of the true distance Had
he run one more lap. he would have i ertainl v bro
ken the legitimate meet record of 8:28
Among current Oregon athletes. Krik Balstrom
won the triple jump with a mark of -40 feet. 2
inches. Balstrom is a student from Sweden and is
one of the top Scandinavian jumpers
