Sports Talk
Trojan protest planned

Sports Editor
Garden hints from yotir OSÜ Extension Agent
What was rated as the best pitch
ing s ta ff in baseball has suddenly
turned to sour grapes.
The San Francisco Giants pow
have placed John “ The C o u n t”
M o u re fu sco on the disabled list.
Vida Blue, the best southpaw pitcher
in all o f baseball, well at least the
National League, with all due respect
the little lefty that hurls fo r the
Yankees, has a 5.01 ERA and Bob
Knepper a fte r w inning one game
can't seem to get another. Blue is
currently 5-2 but really hasn’t been
effective. Giant h itting has bailed
him out more than just a few times.
Vida, long known fo r his smoke, and
for some strange reason has decided
to use his curveball and slider more
this year. Perhaps i t ’ s his thinking
that h e 'll add a few years to his
career. Whatever his reasoning I ’m
sure a few more twelve-run games
w ill quickly alter his thinking.
Ageless W illie McCovey, the Giants
42-yea r-o ld slugging firs t base-
man, is upset after losing his starting
job during spring training. McCovey
lias been used prim arily as a pinch
h itte r, a role he openly disdains.
McCovey, while being praised for his
pinch hitting a b ility retorted, “ No
one ever made M VP as a pinch h it
ter.”
Joe Frazier speaking before a group
in Utah said Muhammad A lt was a
good fighter, but not the greatest.
Frazier, after taking a brutal beating
from A li in the “ T hrilla in M anila”
had this to say “ Lawdy, lawd the
man is great.” How soon we forget.
M uham m ad A li is the greatest
heavyweight ever to lace on a pair o f
boxing gloves.
I f one were to dream o f an ideal
heavyweight w ith all the required
dim ensions, reflexes, speed and
durability . . . the man that would
appear in that dream would be none
o the r than M uham m ad A li. The
G-R-E-A-T-E-S-T-!
Where is the best sand lot baseball
in the world played? Try Cincinnati.
Three outfielders, all Cincinnati pro
ducts, are among the leading hitters
in the National League.
Barry Bonnell. Atlanta, is hitting a
respectful .333 with 15 homers.
Tony Scott, St. Louis Cards, club
bing at a brisk .338 pace.
The M V P o f last season and the
games highest paid p la yer Dave
Parker, Pirates, is now over the .300
mark and driving.
At last look Darryl Motley, playing
third base fo r Ft. Meyers o f the Class
A league, was having early season
batting woes. M otley has now lifted
his average from .150 after twenty at
bat to a respectable .252, an increase
o f over 100 points.
M otley is a blue chipper and un
d o u b te d ly the finest prospect to
come o ut o f O regon. D a rry l is
unique in that he can play and excel,
at every position.
And that includes pitching and
behind the plate!
Last ye ar’ s N B A cham p, the
Washington Bullets, after splitting
w ith the upstart San Antonio Spurs,
are still reeling from their gruelling
seven game series w ith Atlanta, and
just might be ready to be upset by
George Gervin and company.
San Antonio, long lambasted for
falling down in the clutch, appears
now ready to shed themselves o f that
cliche. George G e rvin and L a rry
Kenon have now been joined by M r.
James Silas. I t ’s good that the TV
audience w ill now get to see a player
o f Silas' caliber. Silas, who missed
all o f last season while rehabilitating
a bad knee, has long been known in
the now defunct A B A as the best
guard in the business.
Before his in ju ry Silas, not Gervin,
was the man the Spurs went to down
the stretch. The 6’3” Silas can fill the
hole with the best and is more than
adept leading the highly potent San
A ntonio offense.
Seattle SuperSonics w ill survive
their series with Phoenix. W ith the
series deadlocked at tw o games
apiece and headed back to the
Pacific Northwest i t ’s almost a sure
bet that the Sonics w ill prevail. I
don’t really see Phoenix winning in
Queenland.
N B A ’ s most over-rated player; try
Don Buse o f the Suns. We could un
doubtedly add many names to that
list but Buse would be my choice for
captain.
N B A ’s over-rated all league team:
Don Buse — guard; Pete Maravich —
guard; Wes Unseld — center; Paul
