Spurs Knock Blazers Down a Notch
(A P) — SAN A N T O N IO —
S o m e th in g has go n e te rrib ly
wrong for the Portland Trail Blaz­
ers.
W ith a 98-85 loss to the San
A ntonio Spurs on M onday night,
P ortland dropped another notch
in the W estern C onference stand­
ings, to sixth place. C onfidence
am ong m em bers o f the N B A ’s
h ighest-paid team has dropped,
too. Ju st three w eeks ago, they
led the conference.
“W e ’ve alw ays been able to
get the big shot, get the big d e ­
fensive stop, get ev erything that
w e n e e d ,” s a id
D am on
Stoudam ire, w ho had six points.
“W e’re not getting that right now.
W e’re not getting that stop w hen
we need it. W e’re not getting that
bucket w hen w e need it. It’s
frustrating, but nobody is going
to feel sorry for us at this point.
t
W hatever we got to do, we got to
do.” The Spurs, m eanw hile, con­
tinued a late-season charge.
Led by D erek A nderson with
28 points and Tim D uncan, who
scored 20 points and tied his
career high w ith 23 rebounds,
the c o n fere n ce-le ad in g Spurs
w on for the 10th tim e in 11
gam es. It w as their second vic­
tory over the B lazers in that span.
San A ntonio scored 14 co n ­
secutive points to lead 24-10,
including 3 -pointers by A nder­
son and T erry Porter and a three-
point play by Sam aki W alker.
W ith P ortland center A rvydas
S abonis out for m ost o f the gam e
after a fall and S cottie Pippen in
foul trouble, the B lazers couldn’t
overcom e w hat grew to a 17-
p oint gap. T hey never cut the
deficit to less than nine.
“W e are playing very co n fi­
dently right now ,” D uncan said.
“ W e know w hat to do and w e ’re
doing it.” For the B lazers, it was
the start o f a three-gam e road
trip that continues T uesday night
at D allas and T hursday night at
U tah. “ W e have to fight for our
lives and keep our p o sitio n ,”
Stoudam ire said. “W e c a n ’td ro p
any low er. T hings are sn o w b all­
ing right now.
“ I know things can change
throughout a season, but never in
m y w ildest dream s w ould I have
im agined that we w ould be in the
position that we are in right now.
W e’ll be in seventh by the end o f
the w eek the w ay w e ’re playing
right now .” Som e o f the B laze rs’
problem s have been pinned on
R asheed W allace, w ho despite
leading the team in scoring has
picked up 37 technical fouls this
season, one short o f the N B A
record he set last year.
On M onday night, W allace had
20 points. R eserve Steve Smith
led Portland with 23 points, in­
cluding four 3-pointers.
“ I t ’s p r e tty to u g h ,” said
Pippen, who had six points, seven
assists and seven rebounds. “We
ju st have to continue to fight
through it. I really d o n ’t have an
answ er for it. W e ju st need to
play h ard er— defend, ju st do the
little things and stop team s from
dom inating. R ight now, w e ’re
not doing that. The first h alf
show ed that.”
Sabonis left the gam e early in
the second quarter with ice on
his left ankle after falling while
trying to grab a rebound. The 7-
foor-3 center, who earlier this
m onth was ham pered by a sore
right foot, scored four points in
seven m inutes.
American-Indian Mascots
Will Stay At Two Universities
By CANDICE CHOI
D iversity I nc . com
The demand that Am erican-In­
dian mascots be replaced because
o f their names has been drowned
out by the decision o f two univer­
sities to stick with tradition. One
school, the University o f North
Dakota, made its decision after a
known collector o f Nazi mem ora­
bilia threatened to withdraw his $85
million donation for a new stadium.
Meanwhile, the University o f Il­
linois’ board o f trustees expressed
overwhelming support forkeeping
its controversial m ascot, C hief
Illiniwek.
“I believe the value o f this tradi­
tion far outweighs any objections
that have been raised against the
chief,” said Susan Gravenhorst,
trustee for UI.
Meanwhile, trustee Tom Lamont
said the term “racism” was an inap­
propriate term to use in the dia­
logue. “This is a very ugly and
mean-spirited term that in this con-

text serves only to polarize those o f
differing opinions,” Lamont said.
“Far from being racist, the repre­
sentation o f the chief reflects so
positively on Native Americans that

I simply do not understand the basis
for this term .”
UI is not the only school troubled
by its American-Indian mascot.
“This is an issue that has been
debated for more than 70 years
at the University o f North Da­
kota,” said W illiam Isaacson,
p re sid e n t o f N orth D a k o ta ’s
Board o f Higher Education.
Determined to bring the issue
to rest, UND President Charles
Kupchella formed a commission
last year and promised to have a
decision by December.

As the report’s recommenda­
tion grew imminent, the intensity
o f the debate rose exponentially,
said Isaacson. Public figures, in­
cluding the governor and state
legislature, stepped forward to
support the Fighting Sioux name.
D e sp ite th e fa n fa re , the
com m ission’s highly anticipated
conclusion was stillborn; citing
that both sides had valid argu­
ments, Kupchella failed to make
his ex p ected recom m endation
