FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 14, 1979
Monday Morning
Quarterback
By Jim
Old Bleacher Seats finally reacted to
our sports column this week and I have to
admit, the . Sonics represented the
Western Conference well against the
Washington Bullets. But I contend luck
and good fortune play a strong role in
athletic contests.
For instance, look what happened in
the Belmont Stakes over the weekend.
The favored horse, Spectacular Bid,
stepped on a safety pin before the race
and placed third in the running by a dark
horse. Sure, Spectacular Bid tried but the
injury must have dampened some of his
enthusiasm on the course.
It was an interesting sports week to
say the least. Larry Bird signed an
unprecedented 3.25 million, five year
contract with the Boston Celtics as rookie
and he may be worth every penny. The
Los Angeles Lakers were sold to another
financial interest, (they will be stronger
with Magic Johnson added to the staff)
and Jimmy Connors was upset in tennis
by a relatively unknown French tennis
player, Victor Pecci, who was in turn
deposed by the Swedish entry, Bjorn
Borg.
Please excuse my interest in sports
world-wide but the television media is
constantly focusing its coverage to
include our leisure-time activities. Turn
on the tube on Saturday and Sunday
afternoon, you can see anything from
international soccer, gymnastics to the
invitational racquets championship.
Escaping the video action is what
most baseball fans do here locally when
they come to Heppner Fairgrounds to
witness the week's Little League
contests. Instead of capturing the action
from the bleachers, they enjoy the game
via their cars and when the neighborhood
favorite makes a base or scores, they
honk their horns. There actually seems to
be more audience participation and that
may be healthier than being fed facts and
figures from our TV sports dialogue.
This week's bicycle rodeos are also
considered a sports event when you
think about the young bicyclists swarm
ing over county streets and roads in the
next ten years, bicycle safety programs
are important in protecting them as well
as guiding them in the rules of the road.
Most adult cyclists are probably in need
of safety programs as well, especially in
bicycle touring and long distance,
traveling.
Now that I've thoroughly confused
Old Bleacher Seats with my jump-around
strategy, I would like to close by saying
that the Morrow County School Board is
expected to select a new basketball coach
at their monthly session. Tom Day has ,
resigned the position.
I, as well as the basketball team,
know the person to be selected but you
will have to wait for the official
announcement.
