The Bruins eventually won after a strong WSU showing in the distances. The Beavers have now qualified seven men and four women for the nationals; OSU junior Dick Oldfield qualified for the pre-10 meet with a time o f 3:43.2, good for third place in the 1600 meters. The hig hligh t o f the meet fo r OSU was a win by Kasheef Hassan in the 400 meters. Hassan, a senior, In 1981 the series went to seven games. Call it what you want; I feel that in a final series the tide can flow either way o r-w h o 's hot and stays hot. Magic was hot in the 1980 series fin a l. He hasn’ t been that great since. Check it out! Philly has a sound team; it’s deep and confident. It can beat the run and gun Lakers. The match-up is what counts and they match up well player-wise with the Lakers. Can the Lakers stop Toney? Can “ J " be forgotten? W ill Dawkins fin a lly grow up? Yes! Yes! I t ’ s time, and Philly has the gold rings ready for its team. Let's have fun and watch them get the crown at last. I think they owe us one, don’t you? This scries can only help put bas ketball back in the good graces o f the fans. They’ ve heard enough from writers k illin g the bouncing ball. They’ ve read enough about drugs, money, black players, gates and all that mess. I hope for once we can get the reports about the game: about the fantastic s k ill o f these great players. The jum ping ability o f " J ” . The whole game o f Bobby J. The passing o f Magic. The skills of Silk. What a series this will be. Keep your television fixed to six. by A I McGUberry Madison Avenue is smiling now; basketball fin a lly came in to real prime time. It will rank with the su per bowl, college final two, champ ionship heavyweight fig ht, W orld Scries and all the top sports events, everyone seems Io watch. What am I talking about? The Championship National Basketball Series between the L .A . Lakers and the Philadel phia 76ers. What names you have; the best: Magic, “ Dr. J , " Andrew Toney, Norm N ixon, Bobby Jones, “ Kareem," et cetera. Our fantasy is now real, and so is the game. Their opposing teams were weak. A ll I can hear is how great they are. Someone wrote that they are the best ever; can you believe that? Phoenix just d id n ’ t have the muscle up front, or the quickness of the Laker juggernaut. The Spurs had Ice, Ice, and Ice. George realizes he is the whole team and wants his contract renewed. One player does not make a team. Weak teams. Some writers who d o n ’ t know basketball called the I’ h illy (cam "C ho ke rs." Ha! Ha! The last five years their total game wins are the best in basketball. The Boston monkey on their backs? Even Boston laughs at that phrase. In IMHO they beat Boston in five games. I he reasons for the dissolution of this program arc as follow s: The Portland Youth Football League limits only one team per high school district. Since Adams High School is closed, that eliminates the possibil ity o f an Adams-area football team. I hercforc the teams have had con Kareem: Can he sink the Sixers? area middle schools, and especially Roy Ciappini, Ken Thompson, and John Clancy o f the Boys’ Clubs o f Portland who made it possible for two o f the Adams teams to play in their league.
