SANDY HIGH SCHOOL
Good tickets
getting harder
to discover
I t ’s nice to have friends in the right places.
Without them, it would be pretty difficu lt to
see a good basketball game in this state.
That’s the price one has to pay for having
the nation’s top-rated college basketball
team nearby as well as one of the most
popular professional teams.
The Oregon State Beavers gave an old-
fashioned whipping to state riv a l Oregon last
Thursday, the third defeat they’ve handed
the Ducks this season. It was vintage OSU for
most of the game as the Beavers sank 11 of
their first 12 shots from the floor and ended
the game w ith a m ark over .700.
And that was w ith 6-foot-10 center Steve
Johnson in foul trouble and All-Pac-10 guard
Ray Blume on the bench in the second half
w ith bronchitis.
OSU showed its poise in “ The P it,” other
wise known as M acArthur Court. The Pit was
rocking, hoping for an upset. But OSU effec
tively neutralized the crowd of 10,000 w ith a
deadly display of shooting.
Incidentally, the halftim e entertainment
featured the women’s volleyball teams from
the two schools, and starting for the Beavers
is form er Sandy High star Christie E lliott,
now a freshman at Oregon State.
Somewhat hidden by the good fortune of
OSU and their own up-and-down year have
been the Portland T ra il Blazers. The Blazers
were coming off their worst defeat in history
Sunday night when the Utah Jazz came to
town.
Utah is not a great team, but the Jazz
seems to have Portland’s number. Three
times already this season, Utah has dumped
the Blazers. And, after giving up 168 points to
Denver on Friday, it looked like the Blazers
were ripe for loss number four.
Not quite. The Blazers put on quite a show
for the crowd, announced as 12,666, but much
closer to 10,000. Portland outscored Utah
25-10 in the second quarter and went on to
post a 118-84 win.
The game was a blowout and the crowd,
silent for most of the night, sat back and en
joyed it. In fact, the biggest ovation of the
evening c^pne when the Coliseum announcer
proclaimed the entrance of 6-11, 280-pound
center Geoff Crompton into the game.
Crompton, also known as “ The Incredible
Bulk,’’ was signed by the Blazers to replace
an injured Kevin Kunnert. But in a few short
days he has gained a popularity rivaled only
by that of teammate B illy Ray Bates.
Crompton is just huge. It would require a
lot of stamina just to run a lap around him.
His style of play is what one might expect.
Crompton sets up low in the post and waits
for a teammate to shoot. On defense, he also
sets up low. But once the ball is in the air, he
sticks out his massive rear end and clears the
key like a road grater.
The result is not very pretty, but Crompton
is surprisingly effective. He picked up six re
bounds. second-high for Portland, despite
playing just eight minutes. He even sank a
jump-hook off one of those boards at the of
fensive end.
Bates was his usual explosive self.
Although many w ill claim that he got his
game-high 25 points during garbage time,
Bates actually was the offensive catalyst for
Portland. Immediately after entering the
game in the first and third quarters, he hit
for four quick points and ignited the quiet
crowd. That picked the Blazers up and they
were never threatened the rest of the night.
The d e fe n s iv e key was K e r m it
Washington, who shut down Adrian Dantley,
the leading scorer in the NBA. Washington
bumped, grabbed, pushed and thoroughly
outmuscled Dantley, who was held to 18
points, more than a dozen below’ his average.
A Civil War game and a 34-point Blazer
romp Not a bad week for basketball addicts.

“ It was just a bad night
altogether.’’ Sandy coach
Ron Calhoun shrugged ’The
kids didn't wrestle well and
in a couple of matches, the
referees let things get out of
hand It just took a couple
things and we lost it.”
One of the major problems
was the loss of Chns Jones.
the Sandy junior who is one
of the best in the state Jones
was suffering from a sore
knee and sat out the match.

made the difference

Eroded streambeds can be repaired
For more than 100 years,
man has been changing the
face of Oregon
He has been converting it
to his own use. often ignoring
the laws of nature and usual
ly paying the consequences
And nowhere is this better
seen than in our local
streams
Few areas in the state, if
any. are free from stream
abuse There are symptoms
such as the absence of
streamside vegetation to
stabilize the banks, filte r
runoff and shade the water,
raw soil banks that crumble
and wash away with each
ra in ; channels which have
widened and become shallow
and change course during
each period of flood
Warm water temperatures
aquatic life Debris can also
choke a channel.
Causes of the problem
have been many, including
unrestricted livestock ac
cess. attempts to straighten
or relocate channels, efforts
to use every last foot of land
for agriculture, past abusive
logging and roadbutlding
practices, to name a few.
But nature is a marvelous
healer and once the abuse
stops, nature goes right to
the business of repairing the
damage With a little help.
