instrumental in Grant's 7363 conquest of
their chief rivals, Madison High School.
Going into Tuesday's contest, Grant
and Madison were deadlocked with
identical 13 1 league records. Hut An
thony playing defense like nobody's

llildahl had been averaging 28 points
per contest and was the primary reason
for Madison s Number 6 ranking in the
state polls. Jackson constantly denied the
Senator Ace the ball, and not even
Abdul Jabbar can score without the ball.
Jackson is rapidly becoming the finest
defensive guard in the state and he ia
certainly the PIL's finest.

After an unsuccessful trip east last week, the Blazers returned home for weekend
encounters with Seattle and Boston. In Saturday's game against Seattle, before 11,347
fans, the team played what we consider to be a fine game. The«e guys have been
playing without two of their key players, yet have managed to stay close in most of the
games. Maybe the streak of bad luck came to and end Sunday, when they won against
Boston 109 104 before a crowd of 11.528.
Standing to remove his jacket before entering the game against Boston. Lloyd Neal
must had had mixed emotions. When it was announced that Neal was entering the
game, the fans gave a standing ovation. Loyd has been a favorite since coming to
Portland and the appreciation shown him Sunday night was a moral booster, not only
for him but for the entire team.
Filling in as center in Bill Walton's absence. Lloyd immediately established himself
on the floor as the big man to be reckoned with. Once Lloyd entered the game, the
whole complexion changed. He was able to stay with “Big Red” Dave Cowens, who
was having somewhat of a field day. Neal scored 15 points, blocked 2 shots, made 2
assists and captured a total of ten rebounds in the approximately 32 minutes he was in
the game.
This was a "must win" for the team as well as for the coaches, allowing them to pull
things together again to stay in contention for a play off slot.
After Tuesday's loss to Buffalo by 116-113, the Blazers slipped to 16*/» games behind
Golden State.
There is no Child Care Develop
ment Center excelling the status of
Bethel Child Development Center. In
these days of changing life styles,
collapsing values, and broken homes,
Bethel Child Development Center is a
place where hopefully the desire to
learn is created. The impressionable
years of the young and the ex
periences of the teachers offer an
inseparable link one to the other.
These are the minds of Today who
will be leaders of Tomorrow. All may
not become famous, however, they are
the substance of our nation. It is for
this cause that we at Bethel Child
Development Center know we must
achieve total excellence.
