Walton cites three reasons that led to his decision to leave the blazers i Portland Ore. A Bill Walton broke his silence Friday night on the controversy surrounding his pending Depar Ture from the Portland Trail blazers of the National basketball association said Good times Are where you make them and i in tend to make mine somewhere else from now  the key figures in sports Are the ath letes. Unfortunately there Are a number of people in sports who make life uncomfortable for some people and i m one of those people he said. He said there Are other people who will take advantage of the athletes. Those two reasons in particular Are the reasons i walked in Here on crutches to  he said things Are looking Good for the foot he broke april 22. I do have some pain and it seems to in crease As the Day goes on he  made the comments in an inter View on Portland radio station Kink pm. It is the first time he has spoken to report ers since before he announced aug. 4 he wanted to be traded from the Trail blazers because of his disgust with the team s medical practices. The reason this decision was so hard at first was because of the players and the fans Walton said. The Center said nobody encouraged him to leave the blazers while denying rumours that adviser John Bassett and Friend Jack Scott talked him into leaving.

Navratilova s eyes were a bit moist anther voice was occasionally shaky As she described her stunning loss but she maintained her composure far better than two years ago when she broke into tears after being eliminated in the first round by Janet Newberry. Navratilova 22, has played in the  six times and has never reached the finals. In 1973, when she was 17, Navratilova lost in the first round but was not sur prised. The next year she lost in the second round but still was t very shaken. In 1975, Navratilova was already consid ered one of the rising forces in women s Tennis and a serious challenger for the title. But at the open she made perhaps the most serious decision of her life. Navratilova defected from her native Czechoslovakia during that 1975 open and continued on Page 21 thai ers the mistakes or whatever of manage f ment and also the doctoring interviewer Jack Mcgowan asked. You got it said the 6-foot-ll Center. That s Why i m gone. Walton avoided saying directly h wanted team president Larry Weinberg t
