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

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
