Trailblazers Singe Ft. Steilacoom At Dedication By CHUCK W1LFONO Sports Editor Tht Daily Ontralia College dedicated a $430,000 nesday sports night palace Wcd- and its basketball team almost burned it down. But, thoughts of charging the Trailblazers with attempted arson never entered the minds of a standing room only crowd, who watched their daredevils shoot down Fort Steilacoom 72' 71, preserve a record of having never lost on their home floor, avenge an earlier, humiliating defeat by the Raiders and up the Blazer season mark to 6-3. despite to the contrary, the Trailblazers do have a pair of quality guards to go with their talented front line. Both played their best games of the season, directing the Centralia offense with dispatch, thieving the ball and potting it from long range when the Blazers were unable to get inside.

Or, try 6-6 reserve Jim Dicus, who saw limited action, but canoed the bucket that put the Blazers up by one 3J4 Frame, Dicus missed a 20-foot baseline jumper, but followed the shot and laid it in off his own rebound to put Centralia up at intermission. A Reid bucket returned the advantage to Fort Steilacoom in the opening seconds of the second half, but three straight Hyppa buckets, a pair by Jordan, two by Greg Smith and one by Aust gave the Blazers a 10-point margin at 5242 and the clock reading 13:26. However, the Raiders refused to roll over and chipped away at the Blazer kad until, with 3:36 left, 6-5 forward Mike ball away from Reid under the iteilacoom bucket and firing it tit to Jordan, who was promptly fouled with 13 seconds eft. He made the first of his one- and-one attempt and, although missed the second, it broke the back of the Raiders.

Reid's ollow-up was too little, too late. "We put it together for the Irsi time fa practice," said a iappy Aust after the game. 'And it felt great.

"Other than tennis and golf and, perhaps, a couple of touring female basketball and softball teams, 1 see no way for a woman make a buck as an athlete," she says.

In addition, opportunities at the high school and college level are limited. Funding for women's sports programs is a beg, borrow, or steal proposition at most schools, Ruby notes, at the same time observing conditions are better at Centralia College than they are at the majority of the state's community colleges. "tut," she sighs, "girls are used to there not being things." Ruby is also convinced that acceptance of gals in sports must start in the home and notes ruefully that "women athletes enjoy a certain amount of prestige in certain countries, particularly Canada."
