The Sonics held a lead that
at one time was as high as
13 points before the Blazer
rooks found some composure
and poise, whittling away at
the Sonic lead and finally over-
taking them inthe fourthquarter.
The tying shot was cast in
by No. 1 draft choice Sidney
Wicks to tie the score 80-80
with about 3:44 left to play.
Then Charles Ye 1 vert on made
good a three point play and
Seattle was two steps behnxi
the rest of the three minutes
and the game.

Of this group anywhere from

to come back to fail prac

be sweating it f M then.

And today we’ll talk about
it s draftees through rookie
camp sessions at Lewis and
Clark
College’s
Panwlln
sports Center.
Led by Sidney Wicks and
Charles Yelverton the rookies
have shown why they were Stu
Inman’ s personal
picks as
possible future Blazers and It
seems really cruel that he
also has to decide who stays
and who goes.

At this pekut, I feel he could
go anyway—

might even survive the big
camp.

at rookie camp, and a very
good d river and leader of
Rolland Todd’ s fast break,
although at times his defen

rookie camp and NBA basket
ball probably will be decided
by his defensive ability.
