AJAX FORM RENTALS Yale craw wins national selves an animal. Gross. The Yale Bulldogs did themselves proud by w inning the n ational collegiate championship with a vic tory in the Cincinnatti Regatta. The Bulldogs covered the 2000- meter course at East Fo rk State Park in 5:50.8 to win an expense paid trip to the Henley Regatta in England next m o n th . C o rn e ll, another Ivy League entry, finished second in the Cincinnatti Regatta at 5 :5 4 .1 5 , follow ed by Syracuse’ s 5:58.79 and the University o f Cal- Bears at 6:02.4. Yale Coach T o n y Johnson be lieved (hat the Cincinnatti Regatta was im p o rtan t because it brought together championship-caliber row ing. Although it wasn't N orth C aro lina winning the national champion ship in basketball, but being the best is still meaningful. Yale’s strategy was to set a blister ing early pace and wear down the o p p ositio n . And the strategy w orked to perfection as the B u ll dogs increased their lead steadily at the end. Y a le ’s championship crowned a campaign that saw them earn vic tories in the eastern sprints and the Harvard-Yale race. The Biggie. F rank " T h e A n im a l" Fletcher did it again, that is he lived up to his nickname, by defeating once beaten and highly regarded C lin t Jackson in a brutal fight to retain his USBA middleweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision. The victory moved the 28-ycar- old Fletcher closer to a title shot with Cham pion M arvin Hagler. It was reported that a verbal agree ment ha J already been reached by the two lighters hinging on the out come o f the Jackson fight. To say Fletcher is a warrior is an understatement. The 5-8 contender starts a.id finishes each round in the same m anner— throwing non-stop punches. Fleh her is moving tow ard« meet ing V ’ Hagler, one that the “ A n i m a l” ,.io u ld not cherish. And can you imagine anyone calling them Warriors star small forward Ber nard King, who became a free agent this year, is reportedly eager to sign a contract w ith the Seattle Super Sonics. Seattle is just as eager to sign the young star. Bernard King is rated by the N B A players as the third best forward in the game behind Julius Erving o f Philadelphia and Boston’s Larry Bird. King now has tw o options. He may sign with the Warriors, or take on offer from another team. The Sonics are laying the ground work to become that other team. Seattle has alread y acquired David Thompson from Denver and if they can land King, then they’re in a foot race with the highly trusted Lakers. One has to wonder how Portland expects to rem ain com petitive if they continue their current policy o f leaving the money in the coffins. In this day and age you get what you pay for. One can hardly expect to get the same mileage out of a Ford as his neighbor does in a Mercedes. Seattle is doing the only thing possi ble to remain competitive, and that is to fight fire w ith fire . Los A n geles' roster is so p o w erfu l that they’ ve got three players on their bench that could start fo r many teams. A ll one has to do is examine the rosters of teams like Boston and Philadelphia and you would find the same thing being true. The Lakers have Michael Cooper, Bob M c A d o o and E ddie Jordan who all could start in the NBA. Seattle is rap id ly gaining bench strength through vigorous activity on the free agent market. Business-wise the Blazers are do ing fine. Some say why should Port land spend money when they're a l ways sold out? W hy bring in high- priced players? W hat could they (P o rtla n d ) accom plish by such a feat? The basic idea is to sell out. Other N .B .A . teams do that by putting quality players on the floor. Po rtlan d is able to do it by just putting players on the floor. P o rtla n d ’s bench consists o f the following handy household names: Peter Gudmundssen, a 7-2 Icelander who does nothing to im ita te an NBA player. Next comes Peter Ver- hoeven, a fourth round choice, then 'h e re ’ s M ich ael H a rp e r and Bob Gross and Kevin K u n n e rt, who hasn’ t played in 30 games in the three years he’s been a Blazer. The thought here is that Blazer brass is doing good business, but how much longer w ill the fans ac cept and continue to buy tickets to see a mediocre team at best. Bob M cA d o o was out there for the taking, but Portland wasn’t in terested enough to spend the money. We had Moses, but Harry Glickman rep orted ly said that P o rtla n d cou ld n ’ t a ffo rd both M alo n e and Walton. The Blazers need a big man and have made it known throughout the league. Dave C o rzin e, 6 -1 0 , from San A n to n io , appears to be the logical choice. Portland has shown interest in Dave Cowens, former Celtic cen ter, but a 33 just may be too much o f a gamble. You would think that most any club playing basketball could use the talents o f a Moses Malone. But as o f this w ritin g P o rtla n d was among the few that didn’t make an offer to Malone. But then, wasn’t it G lickm an that said, "M oses can't play in this le a g u e ," or words to that effect. The free agent route w ill u n doubtedly make a wealthy man o f Bernard King, but the W arrior small fo rw ard is interested more in be coming a champion than becoming rich. Bernard has told everyong in sight that he would rather be on a cham pionship team than to play rich in Cleveland. Imagine, if you will, a Sonic line up o f Lonnie Shelton and Bernard King at the forw ards, all-pro Jack Sikma in the middle and Gus W il liams and D avid Thom pson out front. A-w-e-s-o-m-e. Holm«« v« Coon«y did follow Rocky I script 1834 SE 8th Av«. • 231-3803 Portland, OR Some dum m y w rote somewhere that Larry Holmes’ defeat o f Gerry Cooney d id n ’ t fo llo w the Rocky script. For some strange reason more than a few people were fanta sizing that G e rry C ooney was ac tually Sylvester Stallone, the actor who becomes Rocky Balboa on the screen. Someone was even thought ful enough to play the theme from Rocky as C ooney paraded to the ring. Whether the script was followed or not depends on which Rocky script one was viewing. We w ould have to say no to Rocky II and Rocky I I , but Rocky I was followed precisely. Remember in Rocky I it was a little know n fighter, with no prior wins over any accomplished fig h te r, and that he (Rocky) was given a shot as a media hype. That the C ham pion (A p o llo C reed) never took the unranked challenger seriously. Like Cooney, Rocky d id n ’ t defeat the champion but gave him a good fig h t. L e t’ s hope that i f th e re ’ s a H olm es vs Cooney I I that the script there is not followed.The first one most certain ly was.
