Southern Oregon and sunny San

counter with
the Houston

The Blazers w ill meet the

night In San Otego. Saturday
night’ s game w ill tie the pre

Thursday’ s night game Is

Portland , after enduring six
straight games of sub-par
shooting finally got hot.
They shot a respectable
.488 from the field but it was
Gary Gregor (8-11, .727) and
Sidney Wicks (9-17, .529) who
led the charge.
The Blazers had to with
stand a Seattle charge late In
the fourth quarter as the Son
lcs closed to within one. But
the rally was stifled as Adel
man twice more stole the hall
to dash Seattle hojies and end
this unblemished streak.
As a team the Blazers have
been much more competitive
on the boards. Blanks mainly to
Sidney Wicks. Wicks, In fact,
leads the team tn six offensive

team’ s leading rebounder with

F leld goal shooting is the
most appalling statistic at

Only Dale Schlueter (.468)

Gary Gregor, thanks to Thurs
