The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 1, 19S4-FIVE Til Hie Hf th Qtaairtcir Sports by Mike Oths HHS rodeo team kept busyjjjjg golferg finigh last Pack to the typewriter for look at the sports world. The first week of June had almost convinced me to spend my time in my own sports events rather than writing about other people's, but a couple of Infield pop-ups and a few shanked tee shots brought me back to earth. As of yesterday, the Lakers are ahead 2-1 in the NBA playoffs, and really do look to be unbeatable. A thirty point blowout in the finals Isn't unheard of, but the manner in which the Celtics got flattened leads me to believe that it's time to start thinking about next year, Obviously, the Celtics need help ? ), so I've got a deal for them. We'll give up the ; draft rights to Michael Jordan for Kevin McHale and further considerations. (I'm still holding out hope for the Jordan and ; Clyde Drexler for Ralph Sampson deal, although It's looking : dim on that score.) All those people you see walking around with their heads held high are Oregon Duck fans. Those long-suffering patriots can rightfully take pride In the fact that the Webfoots have claimed the 1984 Men'. Track and Field title. Led by the Uraiilian Bomber himself, Joaqulm Cruz (who captured the ; Bxm and 1500m) the Ducks snagged their fifth NCAA crown. John Chaplin will have to start recruiting a little more, than maybe he'll feel free to talk to people from Oregon. (Chaplin is the track coach at Washington State, which was favored to win. but finished second. He came up with a new policy for the NCAA meet held in Eugene in that he wouldn't talk to anybody In Oregon. Seems like every time he says something controversial or in the way of a prediction, the nasty reporters actually print It-what a dirty trick.) IKks like the Detroit Tigers are In a slump they've lost 6 out of 9. For some teams, that would be a hot streak. The latest stretch has dipped their winning percentage slightly under .800, which is just short of amazing. Perhaps more amazing is the fact that the Toronto Bluejays are only 41 games back. In any other division, the Canadians would be far ahead. One of the other surprise teams had been the Cincinnati Reds, but a five-game sweep by the Atlanta Graves has temporarily grounded that group. The U.S. Open Golf Championship is coming up soon, and it should be interesting. The Open will be held at Winged Foot, in Mamaroneck, New York. If you enjoy seeing the pros get in th predicaments that we have to face, you should like this one, The Open annually produces the toughest courses and highest scores, but this year could be better than ever. I rememlx-r the last time they played at Winged Foot&Hale Irwin won at 7 over. When was the last time you saw a pro tourney won in 7 over? It looks like John McEnroe is up to his usual antics at the French Open Tennis Championship. I wonder if foreigners get the idea that all Americans act like the athletes we send over. I hope not. I'd like to be Martina Navratilova's agent for the next week or two. If she wins the French Open, she will wil a $1 million bonus for holding all 4 major championships (Australian, French, British, Wimbledon, and U.S.) at the same time. A piece of friendly advice don't bet against her, or if you do, bet with me. On (he local scene, plana are being finalized for the Heppner Open. The tourney will be held June 30 and July 1 at the local course. There is still time to enter, and there are some good prizes available. That's about all for this week. Here's a thought for the day Do you think we could get some headlines if Morrow County boycotted the 1984 Olympics? Just say that we're not sending any athletes to the games. We can join South Yemen, Vietnam and all the other nations which independen tly decided that our security is too lax in Los Angeles. And here I had planned to enter the summer bobsled competition.
