The D ucks (5-1, 4-0), who won their 19th straight at A utzen Stadium, got all the offense they needed in the first half, when Joey Harrington threw touchdown passes o f2 5 and 20 yards Maurice Morris to M arshaun Tucker.

The lattervictoryw asbyan83-81 margin S aturday night, w hen little-used A ntonio H arvey scored 16 points. ”W e should be playing better than w e are,” said reserve W ill Perdue. Portland has two exhibition gam es left — at hom e against D enver on Thursday night and at Sacram ento on Friday n ig h t— before the regular season opener, an eagerly aw aited show dow n against the Los A ngeles Lakers at the Rose G arden O ct. 31. The Blazers split up into three team s M onday, running lull-court drills.

W allace w as drenched in sweat, and D avis was plodding up the floor. "The baskets that have been scored against us have been second-chance opportunities and fast-break oppor tunities, and again that com es dow n to, in my m in d ... it’s an effort thing,” D unleavy said. “ It h asn ’t been as good. ’’I’ve been riding them hard about it, and it ’ 11 get tougher, because w e’ve got basically one w eek to get it under control.” Shawn K em p was the only B lazer not at practice. H e was attending to “personal business” over the w eek end in Seattle and could not m ake it back in time, D unleavy said. K em p called assistant general manager Mark W a rk e n tie n o n M o n d a y , an d Dunleavy said he expects K em p back Tuesday. W ith center A rvydas Sabonis out, K em p has been getting his share o f m inutes, but he h asn ’t played that well. He hit ju st one o f four shots in 20 m inutes at D enver, and in his last four gam es h e ’s averaged ju st 9.2 points and com m itted 18 fouls. He m issed one gam e w ith a sore knee. ”He struggled a little bit oflate, just on fitting in an d u n d ersta n d in g things,” D unleavy said. Sabonis w atched most o f practice but did not play, spending the last segm ent o f the w orkout in the weight room. A rthroscopic surgery on his left knee Oct. 13 revealed tom carti lage, and Sabonis is out indefinitely. ”H e ’s doing fine, but (h e’s) weeks aw ay” from com ing back, Dunleavy said. B ackup p o in t guard G reg A n thony, w ho had surgery to remove bone spurs from both ankles over the sum m er, practiced with the second team but looks lim ited moving side to side. The coach said he could m ake some more roster cuts afterT uesday's practice. There are 19 players in camp, and four m ust be let go by next M on day afternoon. Tw elve players are locks to be on the team opening night, w hich leaves three vacancies, counting the three the Blazers can keep on the injured list. Dunleavy m ight keep a fourth point guard, w hich is good news for G ary G rant and bad for R odrick Rhodes. The team also w ill need another big m an to help fill Sabonis' absence, w hich could give H arvey and possi bly rookie T odd Lindem an a job.

G ore addressed a series o f environm ental issues that are important to many people living in the Pacific N orthw est: the protection o f old-grow th forests, w hether to al low roads to be built in w ilderness areas, and how to save salm on. “ I f you w ant a president w ho will protect old-grow th forests, then 1 ask for your support." G ore said “ I f you believe as I do that we can block new roads and tim ber sales in our roadless forests, so fam ilies can hike and play, i f you believe as 1 do that we have to restore the salm on and let science — not politics — determ ine our course o f action then I ask for your support,” he said. A m ong those m aking introduc tory rem arks before G o re’s speech was Gov. John K itzhaber, an ardent outdoorsm an and environm entalist. K itzhaber used the occasion to blast Bush for “circum venting” environ m ental laws as T exas governor and to praise G ore for being “a friend o f O reg o n’s environm ent.” The environm ent was on the mind o f many people, m ost o f whom were young, at the rally. They included Don St. Clair, 40, a m em ber o f the group G reens F or Gore. “ W e b e lie v e th a t o n c e A1 G o re is n o lo n g e r s h a c k le d to B ill C lin to n , w e ’re g o in g to see him k e e p th e p ro m is e s he m a d e in h is b o o k " E a rth In T h e B a la n c e ," St. C l a ir s a id .
