Blazers as they head for
Southern Oregon and sunny San
Diego for a three game en­
counter with
the Houston
Rockets.
The Blazers w ill meet the
Rockets Thursday night In
Grants Pass, Friday night In
Klamath FalLs and Saturday
night In San Otego. Saturday
night’ s game w ill tie the pre­
lim inary game for a double-
header. The second game w ill

Thursday’ s night game Is
sponsored by the Cavemen

Friday night’s encounter Is

The Blazers head southward

feated ranks. LedbyRlck Adel­

had 27 overall) the Sonlcs were
forced Into 35 t u r n o v e r s .
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
c a t e g o r i e s . Ife Is also the
team’ s leading rebounder with
78 caroms.
F leld goal shooting is the
most appalling statistic at
present. Four of the top seven
players are under .400.
Only Dale Schlueter (.468)
Stan McKenzie (.449) and BUI
Smith (.432) are over while
Gary Gregor, thanks to Thurs­
day’s game, Is close (.397),
Rick Adelman Is near (.377)
and Sidney Wicks and Charles
Yelverton are at (.363) and
(.354) respectively.
Collectively In term s of
position, thecenters are shoot­
ing .451 the guards .406 and the
forwards .392.
Team shooting for the B laz­

game compared to .481 for
their opponents. This differ­
