I Pag« 12 Portland Observer, August 24,1963 G&G Sport Talk Plum ber & Concrete W ork by Ron Sykes Sports Editor O h boy I I f K E X radio U right, then Portland, a t a city, it in trouble. One local DJ wat heard to tay. " O n September I Oth college football w ill return to Portland when the Oregon Stale Beaveri meet our own Portland Stale Vikings.” H e goes on to u y that this contest will be the biggest football game in Portland in many years. I know the cute o f Oregon it not exactly the hotbed o f collegiate football, but when a P A C -10 member (O SU) plays a N A IA Division ) team (P S U ) and it's being called the biggest game in Portland in years, it's realty kind o f ridiculous. Isn’t it? By comparison, the Washington Huskies will entertain the Michigan Wolverines in Seattle on that same day. Michigan, which sells 101,000 seats for each and every home game, hat asked for 10,000 tickets for a game being played 2 ,J00 miles away Oregon State and Portland State will do well to draw 10,000 at the Civic Stadium. Washington and Michigan are playing a big game. Not O SU vs PSU. Last yew's Oregon vs Notre Disme game did wonders for the Eugene economy, pumping upwards o f one m illion through the weekend. Just think what such a game could do for the Portland area.

Jack Sm ith, Seattle P o tt ln ttih - tencer, reports: a skywriter from C alifornia stared disbelievingly at the purple jerseys compassing the long lunch line in the University o f Washington Crew House. It wasn't just the length o f it that confounded him. but trying to absorb all thoee dimensions at once. “ Where does that line end? Sea Tac? T hey’re all to b ig ." he states. “ I mean huge. And there's to many o f th e m ." A t this time it was brought to the writer's attention that all the players weren't avail able; that some were not in atten dance due to photo taking. It was particularly overwhelming, Smith writes, after visiting Oregon State, where the football team had assembled at a few tables bordering the basketball court and spoke grandly o f their depth.

Now that’ s really going overboard. some, b u t. . . . What a up with Clyda Draxlar? And if any o f you basketball fans are into reruns and want to tee just how good and exciting Portland rookie Clyde Drexler is. just simply find someone who was lucky enough to tape the Louisville vs Houston N C A A game. The game as a whole was exciting, but if you're pushed for time, you just might run it on fast forward and watch the second half. Now , settle into a com fortable chair and focus your attention on »22. W hat you'll then sec it a very good basket ball player. A fte r viewing the reruns many times, I believe Drexler is a hard worker on both ends o f the court. H e runt the break extremely well. This writer believes in time he will be as good at Julius Erving in the open court. And that's saying something. Portland fans will find that Clyde is a quick and strong rebounder as well. And if that isn't enough, the man led his conference in steals. H e anticipates well, to say the least. The big question now it: Where will Clyde fit in? Ramsay said on a local talk show that he plans to play him (Drexler) at both small forward and big guard. A ll o f us in the C ity o f Roses know that those two positions are secured by the best two players on the roster, Calvin N a tl and Jim Paxson. So w hat’s with Drexler? It's a certainty that the young ex-Cougar cannot be held to a bench role. He's just too good for that. Clyde is a player that will have to have the minutes. . big minutes if his game is to develop. In Clyde Drexler, Port land has a diamond in the rough. Let's hope he’s around to receive the polish that's needed. E lw a y a plua fo r D e n v e r In a bold and gallant move, Den ver head coach. Dan Reeves, made John " IO ” Elway his number one quarterback. Elw ay, ex-Stanford A ll-A m e ri can, has shown steady improve ment, thus winning the starting nod from veteran Steve Deberg. Elw ay’ s elevation is a plus to Denver's chances this season. Young Elway simply has the most accurate aim in the game today. He's intelligent, has good speed and agility, plus he can butt an egg from 60 yards. He's good.
