Paga 12 P o rtlan d O bservar T h u rs d a y, S e p te m b e r 13. 1979 Sports Talk by Ron Sykes Sports Editor Michigan State, winners over a weak Illinois team in their opener 38-16, Oregon will get a good induction o f just how good they really are. If, just i f . .. the Ducks can win at Ann A r bor. . .then Huskies beware, because Oregon w ill be sky high when they return home to face their first game before a friendly crowd, and Pac-10 rival. My pick Oregon by 3. O R E G O N 33 - C O L O R A D O 19 I f you believe in magic, dancing feet and the uncanny ability to read and pick defenses a p a rt.. then you must believe the “ rush is on” and at the helm is one Reggie Ogburn, who is directing the Duck ship so master fully. Ogburn all but destroyed a very good Colorado defense, gaining 108 yards on 17 carries, and passed for another 168. A one man show? No. Dwight Robertson, the high-stepping sopho more tailback who destroyed OSU in last year's finale, was equally impres sive. Robertson scored 2 T D ’ s on runs o f I and 9 yards respectively. The Ducks became the firs t visiting team to win an opener at Boulder since 1963, when Southern Cal accomplished the feat. Oregon lost the opener at Colorado last year, 24-7. Colorado holds the series edge 5-3. You have to believe that Oregon is now on the brink o f having a success ful program. Remember last year when the Ducks would go into the fourth period leading only to suc cumb. M ostly due to a lack o f experience and depth. This year they have both and proved this against C olorado. There's pride, exuberance, and a camaraderie that’s been missing in past Oregon squads. O regon.. .rea listica lly.. .is really a year away from full potential. Scan ning the depth chart you see talent, young talent waiting in the wings. “ For the first few games last year, I don't think our players really felt they could win. Then they looked back and realized that except for maybe one big play in some games, we could have won. They know they can win now. And I would anticipate we’d be able to beat somebody we’ re not supposed to beat,” said Rich Brooks before the Colorado game. Now it's been proven once in beating the Buffalo’s and, for sure, before the season ends it will happen again. It just could happen this week against Big Ten favorite Michigan State. Yes, the Ducks are that good. "Reggie can dart into the hole.” Defensive coordinator Andy Chris to ff says Ogburn has feet, ‘ ‘ that move like a sewing machine.” And Colorado linebackers concur. Reggie has proven that he is now a very good college quarterback, and will become a great one. He’s proven that he can put points on the board. To say the least . the Oregon at tack is exciting and patient. Against JE F F E R S O N 12 - B etter Grades!

The Generals, seventh ranked in the state, were really im pressive in this one. Jerome Thompson, 6’ , 190 pounds, running back led the General attack with 130 yards on 19 carries. Grant should again rule the PIL. In a project unprecedented in the NBA, the Portland Trailblazers ran as a team in a city-wide road race September 12th to benefit Emanuel Hospital’ s Children Center. The run will be viewed as a condi tioning exercise fo r the upcoming training camp, by Head Coach Jack Ramsay. Ramsay also ran in the event. The event covered 6.2 miles. R egistration fee was $5 w ith all proceeds going to Em anuel’ s Children Center. The B ill W alton compensation hearings should be settled sometime this week. Portland is asking for the moon, while San Diego is offering a tiny grain o f sand. Portland wants at least three players, and it’ s still a wonder to me why Lloyd Free isn't mentioned.

As leader o f the Popular Movement for the Libera tion o f Angola (P M LA ), Neto led his country’s war o f liberation. A fte r 400 years o f co lo n ia l domination, Portugal granted inde pendence in November o f 1975, quickly withdrawing and leaving the country in a state o f civil war. The M P LA was successful in winning the civil war and uniting the country. A physician and poet, Neto was educated in Portugal and imprisoned fo r political activism. Retiring to Angola to practice medicine he was again imprisoned but escaped to lead the M P L A ’s efforts to gain indepen dence. His work to build a socialist state, improving the health, educa tion and economy o f his people began even before the civil war was won. Considered one o f the stronger African leaders, Neto was involved with other “ front-line” nations in at tem pting to elim in a te the racist governments o f Rhodesia and South West Africa.
