Cosmos outscore Timbers
goalie Jim Cumbes had no chance. For
Eddy it was his fourth penalty conversion
in four attempts this year. For the Tim
bers it meant their fifth loss of the year,
the third decision against them was
decided by a penalty kick.
Penalty kicks are not the only reason
for Portland's losses. They have scored
only one goal in their last three games. In
their last home game against San Diego
they played rather poorly, but against
New York they were fine. But the ball
wouldn't go into the net.
The Cosmo's Giorgio Chinaglia scored
two unassisted goals in the second half.
The first came on a beautiful play as he
dribbled around Portland's Mick Hoban
and left footed a bullet past Cumbes.
by Brad Small
Three gocd teams are in slumps this
summer, the Oakland A'a, the Boston Red
Sox, and the Portland Timbers. Despite
playing excellent soccer lor the entire
game, the Timbers were routed, 3-0 by
the New York Cosmos. Saturday night.
Portland played an excellent first half.
Jimmy Kelly had some great passes, and
Ike Mackay got four shots off. In all the
Timbers had nine shots on goal in the
first half. They all were good plays, but
luck wasn't on their side.
The Cosmos scored with 11:41 left in
the half on a penalty kick by Keith Eddy.
Eddy's kick went into the upper right
hand corner of the net, and Portland
ROZELL’S
Chinaglia scored again later on a Portland
lapse in defense.
Pele did little for the Cosmos other
than shout directions. He did make two
exceptional plays, The first was a flick of
the heel pass to a teammate that was
bobbled. The second was on a 50-yard, on
the mark pass that was also bobbled.
The Timbers are still trying to get
some firepower in front of the goal. They
have been getting a lot of flack from the
local press, including one TV announcer,
getting a disgusted look on his face and
rem arking, "Boy, the Tim bers just
haven't got it this year." But if they can
consistently play at the level they exhi
bited in this game and several others, the
goals will come and they'll start winning.
Coaches discuss PIL changes
by Pat Lesley
Marshall, Wilson and Grant will fall into
the Big School Division.
Coach David Dampkee. of Adams sug
gests that the change is a good idea "It
helps us because the numbers that turn
out are low." Dampkee feels that kids are
more interested in playing when they
have a chance for winning.
Madison's Gary Walls, football roach,
explains that the change will have no
effect on them, "It will make other teams
weaker playing a w eaker schedule.
Teams will lose to less competitive teams
instead of more competitive ones," advis
es Coach Walls.
He insists that the change will be a
good thing for the East division, but they
won't play the other teams any more.
Coach Gerald Schloss, of Washington,
thinks the change was necessary. “Be
cause going up against big schools dis
courages kids."
Washington has a total enrollment of
about 300 males, which makes the re
cruiting situation tough.
"We like the change because it will
offer us tougher com p etition,” offers
Benson coach Steve McNeil. "We're in
favor of it and it will make the football
league stronger all around and the weak
er schools will benefit," he continued.
Many people may be aware of the new
Portland Interscholastic League (PIL)
division change. However, few nave
heard that it is a trial run for a two year
period.
The request for the change was made
from schools with smaller enrollment.
After discussing the pros and cons of
the new idea, principals from the PIL
district voted to put the plan into action.
For the past five years, the division
was divided by 24th S tr ee t. Before
Adams High School was built the twelve
high schools' names were selected from a
hat and placed into a division. The pro
cess caused confusion as far as preparing
season schedules in advance.
Paul McCall, Director of athletic ac
tivity, admits that the new concept may
cause state wide problems and again the
division selection may change.
The play-offs will be just as it is in PIL
basketball. The winner of the East divi
sion will battle the West winner to decide
the team to compete in State.
Many PIL football coaches shared their
opinions and differences at various meet
ings. In the west division, the smaller
enrollment schools asv Adams, Lincoln,
W ashington, Jeff: .' n, Jackson, and
Roosevelt.
Benson. Cleveland, Franklin, Madison,
Jackson is in favor of it because they
may now compete with schools that are
more tneir own size. Coach Roy Carlson
thinks the play-offs will motivate his
guys. They will reach a respectable level
of compeition. "Some teams in the west
will be better than some in the east,"
suggests Carlson.
“Yes, I'm in favor of it," admits
Franklin's roach, Frank Wolf. I think it
adds a series of schools together," he
continued. He likes the idea of grouping
the schools with about the same enroll
ment.
One Marshall representative confirmed
that he was against it because of the
play-offs. The strong team would face the
weak and this wouldn’t be very equitable.
Stan Staton of Wilsor. also disagrees
because it leaves all small schools in one
disivion and there is no equalization. " I'd
like to see them send the best represen
tative,” responded coach Staton.
“I’d like to see one league," proposed
Billie Frazier, head football coach of
Jefferson. Mr. Frazier would like to see
two teams go to state from the PIL
instead of just one. based on their record.
“I'd like to play Madison, Grant or
Marshall." Jefferson hasn't battled those
schools in about two years.
There are many good points and bad
points for the division change, but after
the trial run, there may be another
solution.
Study explores 'w h a t m akes a good coach”
Whatever qualities are required to
mike a good athletic coach, those traits
apparently transcend sexual barriers,
according to a study done by Sandy
Neeley, director of women's intercol
legiate ath letics at Oregon S tate
University.
Men and women who coach in high
school exhibit many of the same persona
lity traits, but differ significantly from
men and women who coach in college,
Neeley found. She surveyed about 240
nigh school and college coaches in Oregon
and California, using a highly regarded
personality inventory questionnaire.
The study was done to fulfill require
ments for Neeley's doctoral degree in
athletic administration that she received
from OSU June 6th.
Neeley set out to map the personality
traits that set coaches apart from the rest
of the population and the characteristics
that set them apart from each other. She
expected to find real differences between
the personality makeups of male and
female coaches because of their different
patterns of socialization, but was "plea
santly surprised" to find there were more
similarities than differences.
“Athletic coaches are coming from the
same places now and getting the same
kinds of training and competitive ex
perience," said Neeley. "That apparently
accounts for the similarities in their
profiles."
Only a few years ago, she said, most
women coaches had little opportunity for
competition and received training solely
as physical education teachers.
What apparently sets roaches apart,
Neeley found, is whether they are em
ployed in high school or college. High
school coaches, both men and women,
scored much closer to the general popu
lation in personality traits then college
coaches, though they were more open to
new experiences and less hesitant to take
physical risks than the average person.
Neeley attributes this similiarity be
tween high school coaches and the com
munity at large to the closer social and
financial ties a high school coach has U
the community.
“High school coaches work in a much
more restrictive area,", she said. "Their
salaries are related to the community's
willingness to support them. They’re
more visible, more likely to meet the
families of the students they coach. They
don’t have the academic or coaching
freedom that college coaches have."
Intercollegiate coaches, on the other
hand, demonstrate a strong streak of
independence, Neeley found.
They tend to seek new experiences
without much concern for risks, make
spur-of-the-moment decisions, are indif
ferent to ambiguity and uncertainty, and
resist working long tedious hours to solve
problems.
They approach life in an
easy-going manner, enjoying recreation
and pursuing knowledge in many areas.
The successful coach at any level.
Neeley says, seems to welcome change,
possess uncommon endurance and per
severance, and think in a very structured
manner, em phasizing accuracy and
avoiding ambiguity.
She chose the topic of coaches' per
sonalities, Neeley says, because one of
her career goals is to supervise coaches
through a training program and she
wanted to be able to identify the per
sonality strengths that qualify an indi
vidual for handling coaching duties.
In judging applicants for coaching jobs
now, Neeley says, she looks for the
characteristics identified in the study,
and also for persons who present them
selves favorably because they have confi
dence in their abilities.
"There is a little bit of a 'ham' in most
coaches," she said. "They enjoy being
dramatic or witty. And of course they
have to enjoy being with people."
Neeley said the data she has gathered
could be used to make many other studies
of coaching characteristics. Among them:
Comparing coaches in junior colleges
and small colleges with those in Pac-8
schools. “I could almost pick the Pac-8
coaches by their strong motivation to
win. though they don't usually want to
win at the expense of the athlete,” she
says.
Comparing coaches in different sports,
or the behavior of the same coach in two
different sports. “One coach who coached
both football and tennis didn't display on
the courts the same characteristics he
showed on the field," she notes.
Comparing the responses from Califor
nia coaches, most of whom were from
big-city schools, with those from Oregon
coaches, who were largely from rural
areas.

NBA — A CHANGING SCENE
CBS sports announcer Brent Musber-
ger alluded to the fact that white
advertising tycoons are reluctant to sink
dollars in pro basketball because it’s
primarilly a Black man's game.
The NBA at last count was comprised
of 65 % Black. This figure would probably
be even higher if teams drafted for ability
rather than color. I think in the near
future you will see a definite change in
the NBA. What you'll see is a great influx
of lesser talented white ball players. This
will be good for the box office. But will it
be good for the game?
The caliber of play will remain the
same, both teams will be just as competi
tive because, I think, the owners will
conspire, at a private meeting, to assure
that all the teams have their white quota.
The big change will be the job avail
ability for the Black youth of today.
There will be numerous good Black
players shut out, in the future, by this
new quota system.
Taking a look at the Blazers, one
can easily see this change.

Well, this time, at least. Smokin' Joe
Frazier lasted until the 5th round. I
actually thought the man would win.
Muhammad Ali, and then Ron Lyle, for a
few rounds, exposed Foreman's greatest
weakness — lack of stamina.
So I thought a smart Joe Frazier would
play the waiting game until the lumber
ing Foreman was all played out and then
move in for the kill. But not Frazier he
played right into Foreman's strength and
again, like before went down in defeat.
Joe Frazier said this is his last fight and it
very well should be. Joe has made a
substantial amount of money and now
should exit the fight scene.
PNB leads
by Ron Sykes
Pacific N.W. Bell, with good pitching
and timely hitting looks like the team to
beat in Senior League play. Bell has
received sterling pitching performances
from it's aces Mike Mitchell, Howard
Jenkins and Russell Banks. When asked
why his team is doing so well Coach Lou
Harris replied, “We've got the strongest
pitching rotation in the league. Our
hitting is only adequate but our thirteen
year old guys are really coming through."
The coaches are extremely happy with
the leadership Michael M itchell has
shown. Mitchell has emerged as a true
leader and take-charge guy, something
that every good team needs
Russell
Banks continues to be the best hitter in
the league and Howard Jenkins the best
all-around player in the league.
Tuesday afternoon, Bell sent New
Navy reeling to a 7-1 loss. Russell Banks
was the starting and winning pitcher,
going all the way, giving up just two hits
and one walk.
Starting pitcher, Russell Banks, went
the distance allowing one run on just two
hits. Banks had a shut-out until the last
inning, when New Navy scored their
unearned run. Saturdays schedule for
