Portland Stalls Smith As Braves Fall By Four PORTLAND, Ore. (UPD) - Portland's Trail Blazers held off Elmore Smith and Buffalo in the closing stages Tuesday night to snap a 13-game losing streak with a 98-94 NBA vic- tory.: The Blazers, who had an 11- point lead, 79-68, with 11 min- utes to go, nearly lost their 14th as Smith scored 15 of his 24 By JACK WOLISTON NEW YORK (UPI) - A new \automatic pilot system for sailboats-the first guided by either relative wind bearing or a compass course-was introduced at the recent National Boat Show here. Called '\Wind-Track the computer-controlled device will hold a vessel within one degree of a prescribed course or desired wind bearing, according to the manufacturer, Safe Flight In- strument Corp., of White Plains, N.y. Leonard M. Greene, president of Safe Flight, calls the system ~ \a true marriage of space age technnology with nautical controls\ and predicts it \will revolutionize sailing\ for ocean- going vessels. Green lists these chief features for his new device: -Automatic Sea State Con- trol: Without operator ad- justment, - Wind-Track automatically senses the state of the sea, rough or calm, and: compensates for sea conditions. © This allows the highest degree of sensitivity to changes, yet reduces the amount of power drain and required wheel movement in a rough sea. -Automatic Trim Control: Regardless of what combination of. sails is hoisted, Wind-Track will eutomatieally apply the necessary rudder to maintain the set course. -Fingertip Control: A por- table controller has a 25-foot cable, so the pilot can move from the 'cockpit and still maintain complete control over all func- tions. The controller has three basic switches: 1. A five-position rotary switch for selection of on- Track Results BATAVIA, N.Y.

A push-pull switch to engage or disengage clutch; 3. A toggle switch for power steering which also permits dodging action to port or starboard to avoid floating debris. When released from the dodge position, the preset course is resumed automatically. -Safety Devices: In the event of power loss, a fail-safe clutch will automatically disengage, allowing a return to manual steering. Additionally, a safety clutch permits the steering wheel to be stopped by hand at any time, with no damage to the autopilot or the vessel's steering system. In an emergency, the vessel may be hand-steered even though the autopilot is engaged. ''Since the autopilot is nonhunting-operating only when necessary to change course-average power con- sumption is less than 2 amperes at 12 volts DC when correcting course and less than 0.5 amperes when on course,\ Greene says. Racing rules ban the use of an autopilot, but Green says that 'even disengaged Wind-Track's meter displays still offer valuable and permissable tac- tical assistance. The Wind-Track, incidentally, does not come cheap. For example, installing one on a 50- foot sailboat would cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.

He had 18 points for the game. Wicks had 24. Portland went into the final quarter with a 76-67 lead but seemed 'unable to stop Smith, who missed only three of 10 shots in the final quarter. Both played evenly in the first half as Portland increased a one-point first quarter lead to 50-48. Petrie's shooting in the third period got the Blazers go- ing and Wicks' shooting at the end saved face for the sagging team and gave them their 16th win of the season. Randy Smith added 22 for the losers while Blazers Stan Mc- Kenzie and Dale Schlueter had 17 each. Knicks Defeat Bucks By United Press International The New York Knicks defeat- ed the Milwaukee Bucks, 110- 101, Tuesday night, keeping alive the Knicks' hopes for catching the Atlantic Division- leading Boston Celtics. The Knicks are only four games back, but have played two games less. Jérry Lucas, continuing his long distance cannonading, rid- dled Milwaukee's defense for 30 points. He hit 13-0f-22 shots and almost all of his field goals were from 25 feet out. Lucas also became the fifth player in NBA history to reach the 12,000-rebound plateau. He needed four rebounds going into the game and emerged with 14. Milwaukee kept pace with New York for two periods, earning a 32-32 first period tie and a 56-56 intermission deadlock before New York drew away in the third quarter. The Bucks' Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored a game-high 35 points.

(UPI) -\It's much better this way,\ says Jim Wynn about his présent relationship with Harry Walker, manager of the Hous- ton Astros. \It's much better for me and much better for him. It couldn't go on the other way.” The other way was both men constantly at each other. Both shouting, both arguing, both - angry. Not anymore. Every between Jim Wynn and Harry Walker is hunky-dory. For now anyway. If it stays that way, the Astros could beat the Dodgers, Giants and Reds in the National League West. Both men know it and the knowledge unites them in a common cause. - Divorced from his wife only a few weeks ago, Jim Wynn looks and acts like a new man. The old one was a pathetic figure. Nobody had a worse year than Jim Wynn. . Never mind baseball. Nobody had a worse year in anything. You don't think so? Just listen. First, his wife cut him up with the kitchen knife, putting him. in the hospital on his wedding anniversary. Next, he and his boss, Harry Walker, keep going to the mat. They don't agree on what day it is. The climax comes in a game with the Mets when Wynn ignores the take sign and pops the ball up against wild Nolan Ryan with the bases loaded, nobody out and three balls and no strikes on him. To top everything off, Jim Wynn, who had 107 RBIs and 37 and 37 homers for the Astros only a few seasons back, nosedives to 45 RBIs and only 7 homers. A .282 hitter the year before, he finishes with .205. This year though, it'll all be different. You take one look at Jim Wynn and you know. \The divorcee is a big thing,\ he says. \I'm in a much better frame of mind. All last year I had problems. I was tight and anything could set me off. Now I feel free, relaxed, Jim Wynn again, and once you feel that way you have the world in the palm of your hand.\ Wynn and Walker got togeth- er during the second half of last season. There was no big formality about it. Both simply came to their senses. Each finally saw the other's problem. \I think most of the trouble between us resulted because he treated me like a baby,\ says Wynn. \I did a lotta thinking and he probably did too. We got to the point where we began treating each other like men, not like babies. From that moment on we've gotten along fine,\ he says.
