RULES from page 1B just as the records of pitchers differ from each league. When Lew Alcindor was at UCLA, the NCAA rules committee decided to ban the dunking of the basketball. Alcindor had to alter his offensive ap- proach to scoring. While this rule was in effect for only a short time, Alcin- dor credited this rule with his development of the sky hook, a shot so effec- tive it dominated the NBA for over two decades. The three-point line came into the NBA to unclog the middle of the court. When the first Warren- ton High School roll of top basketball scorers was released, I was in the top 15 all-time. When I was inducted into the WHS Hall of Fame, I said in my speech that if the three- point shot was available in my playing days I might have been in the top 10.

Find out where they are and join in the action. • Despite age and gener- al high-risk complications related to COVID-19, they continued to work tire- lessly to ensure the winter steelhead program was a success. • ODFW relies on their professionalism and expe- rience. STEP from page B1 • They provide measur- able restoration work, such as the fish cleaning sta- tion at the Port of Siuslaw which they designed, par- tially funded, and installed.
