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.

PCC offers jazz dance degree
A two-year program offering an
Associate o f Arts degree in Theatri
cal Jazz Dance/Production will be
gin at Portland Community College
in Septem ber. Degree status was
granted the program at the M ay
meeting o f P C C ’» Board o f D irec
tors, making it the only one o f its
kind in the country.
“ We really promote our students
to do work in motion pictures, tele
vision. theaters and night clu b s ,"
says Bob H eath, who will head (he
program . " W e ’ re going after jobs
where the bucks are. Our market is
the entire theatrical industry.”
Requirements for completing the
new program include 73 to 114
hours o f dance and dance produc
tion classes, according to Heath. Six
terms each o f jazz dance, ballet and
tap arc minimal requirements, with
other o fferin g s to include m im e.
make-up, choreography, dance with
apparatus, p roduction m odeling
and other dance classes. All courses
have been approved by the State of
Oregon and, according to H eath ,
state approval for the program is
pending.
T h eatrical Jazz D a n c e /P ro d u c
tion will be a continuous two-year
program, so students wishing to ap
ply need to make th e ir fa ll term
plans now, says Heath. Only 60 stu
dents will be admitted yearly, in the
fall. H eath cites a ffo rd a b ility and
professional instruction as the two
major selling points o f the program.
“ I paid $100 an hour for this kind
of professional dance instruction in
Los Angeles years a g o ,” says
H eath . " M o s t people d o n ’ t have
that kind o f money."
Heath explains PCC's entire jazz
dance staff has worked profession
CLASS IN SESSION —Theatrical Jazz Dance stu
dents warm up for finals at Portland Community
College. The college w ill offer a tw o-year Asso
ally. “ We use our professional con
nections to get the kids ready for au
ditions and placed,” he says.
Job possibilities arc not limited to
performing, either. One former stu
dent from T ig ard , who danced in
Los Angeles for two year;, now rep
resents Max Factor in its South A m
erican M arkets. A nother is an ad
ministrator with Warner Communi
cations. "W e get into lots o f differ
ent areas,” says Heath.
He explains that the uniqueness
o f the program is its professional
vers atility . " M o s t college-level
dance programs are aimed at getting
their students in to dance com
panies,” he says. "This is fine. This
is art. But art is expensive. People
need to be able to make good
enough livings to further their artis
tic growth.”
