Blazers Foregp Bid
For CFL Franchise
T rib u n e E n te r ta in m e n t To R e-
R e le a s e “ F in a l S h o t: T h e H a n k
G a th e rs S to r y ’
The Portland Trail Blazers an­
nounced Wednesday that they will not
file a formal application to acquire an
expansion franchise in the Canadian
Football League. The Blazers’ man­
agement had spent the past several
months investigating the possibility
of bringing a CFL team to the city.
“The CFL game is exciting, and
the league has great potential,” said
Marshall Glickman, senior vice presi­
dent of marketing for the Trail Blaz­
ers. “T heir commissioner, Larry
Smith, is bright and committed. The
league is poised for rapid growth.”
“However, our staff would have
had to spend an inordinate amount of
time focusing on the CFL’s business
affairs,” Glickman added. "Due to the
development of the new arena, we’re
concerned we wouldn’t be able to
devote enough attention to the CFL.
We just feel that we can’t commit the
necessary amount of time required
right now.”
The Blazers had researched a
number of issues surrounding acquir­
ing a team beginning with the 1994
league season. A local CFL team
would have played a summer schedule
of games at Portland’s Civic Stadium.
Glickman pledged the Blazers’ sup­
port should another group step for­
ward with an attempt to bring a CFL
franchise to the city.

Drexler Placed On Injured
List, Rudd Activated
The Portland Trail Blazers an­
nounced that they have placed start­
ing guard Clyed Drexler on the in­
jured list and activated guard Delaney
Rudd from the injured list.
Drexler, who in accordance with
league rules must now sit out a mini­
mum of five games, is expected to be
sidelined at least 10 to two weeks
because of a left hamstring tendon
strain. He sustained the injury early
in the fourth quarter of Portland’s
game at Boston. This is the second
time this season the all-star guard has
spent time on the injured list. A sore
right knee resulted in him missing a
seven-game stretch in early January
This will mark the first time in
Drexler’s 10-year career that he has
missed more than rune games in a
season because of injury.
D rexler has averaged 20.3
points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and
35.2 minutes in 42 games this sea­
son He leads the Trail Blazers in
scoring, ranks second in rebounding
and minutes played, and third in
assists
Rudd was placed on the injured
list February 18 with a dislocated
finger on his right hand. A four-year
NBA veteran, he was signed by Port­
land on January 3 and has appeared
in four contest—rccordi ng tw o points
and two assists in nine minutes of
playing time.
