Around the NBA:
Robert Parish. 7-foot eenter from Cen­
tenary. who waa drafted by Golden State
in the seventh round, continues to im­
press. In 34 minutes against Jabber, he
was 6 of 12 from the floor. 4 of 8 from the
line and grabbed a game high 10 re­
bounds.
“Robert impress«d a lot of people." said
an obviously pleased Attlee.

Mzurict- Lucas, this year's replacement
for Super Sid. was indeed, a shining star
in the Blazer’s opening win against the
Loa Angeles Lakers.
But let’s hold judgement for awhile . . .
let’s wait until the bell really tolls. Must
admit, however, the young man was im
pressive.
Certainly can’t say the same thing for
Dr. Jack Ramsey. Seems a wee bit
strange in pre-season play, when other
teams are playing everyone except the
water boy, Ramsey chooses to play as if
the N.B.A. championship were at stake.
The fans, at least, deserved to see
Moses Malone for more than the 38 se­
conds he was on the court.
Perhaps, too, we should hold judge
ment on Dr. Jack, who knows it might
work out for the best.
Veteran forward John Havlkek. who
now qualifies for the over-the-hill gang,
reached contract agreement with the Cel­
tics early Monday and reported immedi
ately to Camp. However, teammate Paul
Silas is still missing. Other "no shows" at
N.B.A. Camps include Sidney Wicks at
New Orleans. Julius “Dr. J. Erving" at
New York Net-». Marvin "Bad News"
Barnes and Curtis Rowe of Detroit.
Look for Wicks and good buddy Rowe
to unite for the same cause . . . L.A.

Super Sid is gone but his memory by
local sportswriters here is still very, very
strong.
One writer for the Oregonian, while
talking of the new look Blazers, says.
“Gone is the Sidney Wicks' influence with

DISPENSING OPTICIAN
Although I’ve been an ardent fan of Earth. Wind and Fire for a few y e a n now. Inst
night was the first opportunity to catch them live. Their show to unique, exciting and
thoroughly entertaining. After the smoke cleared, it was a solid hour and a half of
musical excitem ent from E .W J , I particularly enjoyed their arrangements and
selections for the evening. Tunes like: “Summer". “Shining Star," and "All Day
Music", were definitely crowd p isasen. They sang and danced to a spirited crowd of
nearly eight thousand fans, that kept the enthusiasm flowing throughout the concert.
For a musical group with a personnel of “10" members to blend personalities, music
and dedication into one harmonious unit, to an accomplishment not achieved by many.
There are a couple of groups around that have a sound similar to that of Earth, Wind
and Fire but that’s all. Earth. Wind and Fire introduced a new musical sound to the
record industry five years ago. That same sound to easily recogmxeable today. If you
aren't hip to E.W.F., ask your teenage son or daughter, they'll know who they are and
what they sing. They cover all of the elem ents of life: Earth, Wind and Fire. If had
always been curious as to why they chote the name Earth. Wind and Fire for their
group. After witnessing their performance last night at the Coliseum - now I know - a
terrific performance!!

Was Brett’s hit a hit? McRae says no.
And it does seem a little strange that a
routine fly ball could just drop in front of
a major league outfielder. McRae and
Brett, both teammates and both agree
that the ball should have been caught.
