Petrie's 30-Foot BombsHelp Blazers Gun BulletsBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rookie Geoff Petrie of thePortland Trail Blazers has be-come accustomed to beingdouble-teamed. He shrugs it offby hitting 30-footers.

"We don't usually double-team a player that far from thehoop," said Baltimore CoachGene Shue Thursday night afterthe Bullets lost a 136-118 Na-tional Basketball Associationgame to the expansion team.

Petne, who had been a doubt-ful starter because of a soreknee, quickly hit four in a rowfrom 30 feet and beyond. Thatgave Shue reason to doubt hisdefensive strategy.

The victory snapped Por-tland's nine-game losing streak.

Seattle ripped Detroit 130-97and San Diego shoved asideBoston 115-91 in the only otherNBA games scheduled.

Portland Coach Rolland Toddis just as convinced that Petrieshould be Rookie of the Year asAtlanta Coach Richie Guerinbelieves the honor should go tohis rookie guard, Pete Mara-vich.

He notes that Petrie has beenscoring 30 points a game sinceopponents began double-team-ing him 15 games ago.

Petrie again scored 30 asPortland toppled a Baltimoreteam which played without in-jured center Wes Unseld. EarlMonroe played sparingly be-cause of sore ankles.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) -TheUniversity of Puget Sound Log-gers, twice winners against Se-attle Pacific College, have atrip to the NCAA coUege na-tional basketball tournamentriding on their hopes of makingit three straight.

The Loggers broke the CalPoly Mustangs 81-69 Thursdaynight after the Seattle PacificFalcons beat the San FranciscoState Gators 75-68 in the open-ing round of the Western Re-gionals.

Puget Sound and Seattle Pa-cific, traditional rivals, decidethe western representative tothe Evansville, bid., finals Sat-urday after the Gators and Mus-tangs shoot for third place.

The lOth-ranked Loggers ranoff strings of 10 and 12 straightpoints but still had to hold offthe tireless Mustangs. CenterMike Jordan delivered 17 of his28 points in the second half butit was Charles Lowery's coolleadership that kept the Log-gers together.

Cal Poly had come back froma 26-16 deficit with about eightminutes left in the first half toonly a 35-33 lag at halftime. TheMustangs tied the score withthe first two points of the sec-ond half.

Lowery, who had 23 points,then scored five of the Loggers'12 straight points during thenext 2Vz minutes. The seniorguard, whose thoughtful facialexpression seemingly changesabout once a lifetime, alter-nated scoring himself and set-ting up Jordan.

Still, the Mustangs refused tobreak until the last four min-utes. Lewis Jackson, who ledCal Poly with 25 points, pumpedlong jumpers over the tallerLoggers to bring the Mustangsto within four points with justunder seven minutes left. TheMustangs couldn't get closer.

Jim Ballard scored 13 of his24 points and Ed Brown 12 ofhis 18 points for Seattle Pacificin the second half against SanFrancisco State. Jim Milliardhad scored eight of his ninepoints during the first half tohelp the Falcons to a comfort-able 38-31 lead at intermission.

"I don't care how manygames they've lost," declaredKay Thacker, the veteranCentral VaDey coach. "If DonMomon to stui coaching than,rmicaredasbell."

"How Noble Johnson goes, x>to the BtOdogs," predictedTtuekcr. Johmon to Faro's

scoring and rebounding leaderand floor general.

"Noble is a senior now,"explained Monson. "He hasbeen in three regionaltournaments and he knows thesatisfaction of winning. I thinkthat is the major reason heplayed so well at district overthe past two weekends.

Joining the 5-foot-ll Johnsonin the Bulldogs' starting lineupwill be sophomores GordyHuffman (6-4) and RayfordGuice (6-1), senior BobCastleberry (6-0) and juniorKarl Rickenbach (6-3).
