Page 6 Portland Observer Thursday, November 16. 1978 Jobs available to seniors Sports Talk Employment assistance is again available for a limited number of persons who are 55 years o f age or over, unemployed or under em ployed, and live in the City o f Port land or Multnomah County. Older Workers Training and Em ployment (OWTE) can provide job counseling, job referrals, supportive by Ron Sykes California has a reputation for its girls. weather and athletes, and not necessarily in that order. Last Saturday we had occasion to visit Northern California and the city o f Sacramento to see a play-off for the league championship. Rancho Cordova and Burbank High were the participants and what we saw amazed me. N o* I’m no dummy and I know that California produces over half the players in the entire Pac-10. And that is a conservative estimation. We started for the stadium an hour before game time and some were concerned that we just might not be able to buy tickets. N o * I'm listening to this and th inking that perhaps we’ re not going to the prep play-offs, but are going to LA instead to see the Ram- Pirate encounters. After being told that the game was being played in a stadium w ith 11,000 seating capacity, 1 relaxed. But that was to be the last relaxation 1 would have for the next couple hours. When we arrived a; the Rancho Cordova Stadium huge lines were forming and parking was impossible. We did get standing room. After the introduction o f players 1 was really confused because I knew we weren’t far enough south to be in LA seeing a pro game. These guys were huge. The defensive line fo r C or dova, in cid e n ta lly they run the Wishbone and have only lost one game in five years, averaged 220 pounds and was anchored by Mike Taylor, 6*3” , 265 pounds and 4.8 speed. Burbanks defensive front averaged 225 and included a 300 pound nose guard who also ran like the wind. Rancho Cordova, the school that produced Oregon’ s Reggie Young, completely dominated the previously unbeaten Burbank squad 32-7. The college scouts, and there were many, must have had a field day marvelling at the array o f talent on display there. 1 only hope that Rich Brooks and Craig Fertig had reps in the stand. Now, California football nuts actually believe that OSU and Oregon are out o f their league, so it was really nice to be down there when OSU dumped the m ighty Bruins on their collective fannies. N o * this: Grant o f the P .I.L. after beating Marshfield in the 1978 state play-offs w ill win again this time against Roseburg. The Generals are the finest team to represent the P .I.L. since Me! Renfro and Terry Baker starred for Jefferson in 1959- 1960. Grant has overall balance on of fense and defense led by two-way man David Lewis who plays tight end on offense and defensive end when the opposition has the ball. Grant 21, Roseburg 7. Blazer Hi-Lite Portland 123 Jazz 103 The big difference in this game was the defensive yob all pro Lionel Hollins did on “ the pistol.” Hollins stayed as close to Pete as white on rice, often causing the frustrated Maravich to either hurry shots or com m it turnovers. Maravich was limited to just thirteen shots and hit ting only four. Rookie Thompson had another good night. Thompson scored 22 points against the guard o f fellow rookie James Hardy from USF. Remember, too, most jocks have super egos and when Portland rookie M ychal Thom pson tells you he believes ‘ Luke’ is a better player . . . d o n 't believe it. K im Anderson, Blazer rookie, believes that i f given a chance he could beat out both Larry Steele and Bob Gross for the small fo rw a rd spot. A nd i f you asked W illie Smith, n o * departed, if he were better than H o llin s, then I wouldn’t be at all shocked to receive an affirmative. Just must believe that young Thompson with all his talent, would not be satisfied coming o ff the bench. Black coaches in the N B A are dropping like flies. Saturday after noon the New York Knicks informed their former superstar W illis Reed, th a t his services were no longer needed. Monday the ax fell on Satch Sanders o f Boston. That leaves only Elgin Baylor, New Orleans and A1 Attics at Golden State. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ¿a Pursuant to Title VII of PL 92 318, the Emergency School Aid Act.

Maurice Lucas leads Blazers to decisive win over New Orleans Jazz with 22 points and 12 rebounds. (Photo: Ulysses Tucker, Jr.) Blazers silence Pistol in 123-103 w in by Ulysses Tucker, Jr. In what was labeled as the battle of two o f the best guards and .power forwards in the NBA, turned into a 123-103 slaughter as the Trailblazers danced to the beat o f New Orleans Jazz on Tuesday night. In the first half, Len “ T ruck” Robinson outscored Maurice Lucas 18 points to 16. The two players scrapped, snatched boards, posted each other low, and “ faced” one another with jumpers from down town. The Blazers led 69-53 at half time as Lucas received help from Dave Tw ardzik’ s thirteen “ crazy” points, and rookie Mychal Thomp son, who came o ff the pine to chip in a masterful 12. The only other Jazz to score in double figures in the first half was James McElroy with 11 points. “ Pistol” Pete, who came into the game averaging 25.0 per game, saw his Bullets go blank as Lionel Hollins, Ron Brewer and T.R. Dunn emptied his holster. The aggressive Blazer defense limited “ Pistol” to four points in the half. Hollins had several open shots, but decided that the assist fo r a lay-up was more rew arding. He finished w ith six before the intermission, and shot 3x4 from the field. “ Truck” Robinson, who faced the Blazers 9 o f 14 times in the first half, services and some vocational training for eligible people who are looking for employment, either full or part- time.

Older Workers. 248-4704. 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. did not touch the ball until the score was 107-89 when he scored a short jum per o ff a rebound. The more “ Pistol” Pete shot blanks, the less the ball went inside to the post. “ I don’t think Truck was looking for his shot as much because Pete was controlling the ball and looking for his,” said Luke. A fte r the “ tra ild u st” from the Blazer fastbreak cleared, they had outrebounded the victors 56-34. Tom Owens led the pack of board pound ers with 13, Lucas, 12 and Mychal Thompson 9 rebounds. This trio enable the Blazers to slip away for several crow d pleasing baskets throughout the night. “ We knew that we could beat them down the court,” said Lucas. “ The plan was to get the rebound, keep Truck o ff the boards, and out run them.” M ychal Thom pson who had scored only 27 points in the last four outings, came out o f his slump with an excellent display o f skills o ff the bench. “ The easiest way for me to pop out o f my daze was to run hard,” he said. “ Coach told us to run the ball all night, to keep pushing it at them. The scouting report said that they were very weak on tra n s itio n a l defense,” he added. Elgin Baylor, former Laker great and head coach o f the Jazz, said, “ People keep talking about this man not getting the ball, that player not getting the ball. I ’m more worried about keeping the other team from scoring on us. I f we play defense, the offense w ill come easy." Coach Ramsay praised the play o f his guards and gave credit to Tward- zik and “ The T rain” for running the fastbreak. Hollins finished the contest w ith nine assists fo r the night. Twardzik and Thompson add ed five apiece. Top scorers for the Blazers were Lucas, 22 points; Thompson, 21; Owens, 17; Tward zik, 17; Ron Brewer, 11; and Hol lins and T.R. Dunn with 10 points. The Jazz were led by James McElroy, 23 and T ruck Robinson w ith 20 points. Copies of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS may be obtained at the office of An derson Perry Associates, Inc. located at P.O.
