In v ita tio n a l team has once again
been selected.
Once again it w ill be coached by
B arry A dam s o f Glencoe and N ick
Robertson o f M cM in nville .
A nd once again this team w ill by
lily w hile. N ow , I ’ ve always know n
th a t O reg on , as a state, is u niqu e,
b ut to th in k th a t th e re ’ s over tw o
thousand black kids playing basket
ball in the state, and none arc good
enough to be selected on this select
team, is ridiculous.
The Oregon team has done well in
the past. In 1979 they placed fo u rth
in the n a tio n a l to urna m en t and in
1980 im p ro v e d th e ir p o s itio n to
th ird . Believe me this is quite an ac
c o m p lis h m e n t when you co n sid e r
th ey're not using the best players in
the state.

It w o u ld a pp ea r, by the absence
