P»8« 10 Portland Observar Novem ber 1«. i n o Sports Talk P /i.ß w o iz L s . By Ron Sykes Sports E dito r Believe me, Oregon's 20-14 win over UCLA in Los Angeles was no fluke. It's time for the nation to realize that these Ducks are for real. As Oregon head man Rick Brooks said last Saturday, “ I’ m not going to talk o f what UCLA did wrong, give Oregon credit.” Anytime you can go head to head w ith USC which is probably the number one team in the country, and not lose, believe me you’ re good. This writer believed and last week predicted Oregon by seven. They won by six, but then no one is perfect. Before the game Rich Brooks said that he would like to hold the Bruins to two touchdowns and put enough points on the board offensively to win, well you know now that he did just that. Oregon's defense again did the trick turning the Uclans back time and time again. Remember this Duck offense is tops in the PAC-10. Not since the early Cal game have they yielded more than tw o touchdowns to anyone, and until UCLA pulled o ff 21 yards on an old statue o f liberty play had they given up more than 18 yards on any running play. And remember All-American candidate Neil Elshire did not play one down this year. So with the annual civil war game due to unfold this Satur day in C o rva llis, and OSU now standing 0-8 while the mighty Ducks are 5-2-2, can one expect the Beavers to rise to the occasion? In the past when these two arch rivals met you could throw the records out the window. But not this year. The Ducks are just too good. On offense where Reggie Ogburn orchestrates w ith all the finese o f a James DePriest and a defense that is as potent as the May 18 eruption o f Mt. St. Helens, the Ducks should have little trouble stopping the Beavers. Oregon State’ s problem all Billy Ray Bates: A new lease on life By UUysses Tucker, Jr. Life in the city o f Portland has been a big socio-psychological ad justment for Billy Ray Bates, the Blazers fine free agent catch from a year ago. W hile sitting in John’ s Meat Market after a recent home victory, he openly admitted, “ I’ m not use to all o f the attention that is being given to me. This is very new to me. I'm just a mellow small town person trying to get use to life in the city.” On the court, Billy Ray has all the moves o f a city slicker and prom pted head coach Jack Ramsey to make the following statement. " I don’ t know what B illy’s full potential is. His potential is like Mt. St. Helens. It's bubbling and agitating under the skin o f his body, waiting to erupt. He has demon strated the ability to pass in traffic. He has shown, on occasion, the ability to play very good defense. He can go to the basket and he can shoot it - long, medium, or short. It’ s up to me to really get it out o f him ." Bates, a 6’4 native o f Mississippi said there were times when he won der whether or not he could play the game o f basketball. " I tried out at Houston and got cut. I went to Philly and got cut. I went to the C ontinental League where someone finally noticed me. Being cut the first two times really hurt me mentally and emotionally. But all thats behind me now, I have a new lease on life here in Portland and I ’ m very thankful for the op portunity,” he said. A graduate o f Kentucky State, Bates led his school in scoring and rebounding his ju n io r and senior year. In the C .B .A ., he never averaged less than 26.7 during his two year stay. What do you expect from yourself this season? “ I ’ m looking forward to working more with Kelvin Ranscy because he does great things for my game and working with the others as well. I gotta come out prepared to accept more responsibility, to sustain what I got and make myself better for me and the good people in Portland who come to watch us...” DENTIST year has been their inability to stop the running game. And believe me the Ducks can, and w ill send them back after you. "W h a t impressed me the m ost," said Terry Donahue, U C LA head coach, “ was the power o f the Oregon running backs.” • Brooks will elect to send starters Reggie Brown, TB, 6-2, 210 lbs, and Charlie Beshart, 6-0, 205 lbs. Then when they wear you dow n, on comes Terrance Jones, a 6-2 sophomore who goes 215 lbs, who runs lik e the S chlitz B ull. A nd lately, freshman Ladaria Johnson, 6-2, 220 lbs has rambled like a run- a-way tra in . Remember it was Ladaria who was last seen dragging two U C LA defensemen the last five yards into the end zone and meeting All-American Kenny Easley head on and driving Kenny backwards for the score. Joe Avezzano is optim istic. “ I th in k that this Saturday, people ought to come here to see quite a competitive battle between the two state schools in the civil war.” A t this p oint it can hardly be com petitive. Maybe somewhere in the future it will be competitive again, not now. Avezzano calls Oregon one of, if not the best, football team & y O & In questions of science, the authority of thousands is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

We agree. Avezzano says his team w ill rise to the occasion and play as good as we can possibly play against a great football team. The oldest collegiate fo o tb a ll series on the West Coast, the Oregon - Oregon State game, is dead even after 83 games played. Both teams have won 37 games with nine ties. The Ducks have won the last five games in a row, to reverse a very strong OSU trend through the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s. OSU won eight straight fro m 1964-71. However, the Ducks are heavily favored in this one and can win by as many as Coach Brooks w ill allow. Portland State may have the best Quarterback in the state, but the U o f O wins hands down when it comes to the best coach. Neil Lomax, PSU’ s highly touted passer, who w ill probably make a great pro, w ill be chosen in the first round. And that’s quite an accomplishment for a PSU player. And the Blazers with Jim Paxson and Bobby Gross in the back court are reminiscent o f the old G eoff Petrie and Larry Steele days. They won’t win much but the fans w ill love it. nu suor I« - stop b y / o u r ______ — Aon to Energy sohitkxu.
