E,r. 1888 USD gets a onus at power forward By ~ia~ckpa Tribune Sportswriter More ~ban a month still remains in the current college basketball season yet t.ISD:s...liank Egan already has gotten an early recruitmg present The Torerb coach announced yesterday that 6-foot-9 230-pound Jim Pelto~ has transferred from the University of Kansas and e~rolled into the Alcala Park school. ..~'He start_ed cla _es yesterday (Monday)," said.Egan of his newest prospect e ca~e m _a while back and l«?Oked at the place, as well as me othe~ schools mCahforma, before dec1dmg on us. I think he'll be a fme addition." VA l9-y~ar-old power forward, Pelton was an All-CIF choice at Palo erdes High two years ago. He was redshlrte by the Jayhawks last season 'This really helps us a bunch. We've got good depth at that position (power forward) now That's one area where we don't have to worry.' Hank El(an and ~ith fresh~n_eligibility played ID jusf three varsity games this year~ scormg two pomts m 10 minutes of action · Acco~din~ to e Kansas sports inf;rmalion department, Pelton also pla~ed m six JV g m - averaging 13.2 poin and 5.5 rebounds. He'll be available for duty at the start of the spring semester next year _ m lime for th~ ."'.E:St Coast_ Athletic Conference season - and will have 2½ years of ehg1b1htY. remrumng. So how did Pelton decide on the Toreros? For one thing 1t was close to his h?me. For another, Egan's relationship with Kansas c~ach Larry Brown didn't hurt. "We've known each other for years," said Egan of Brown, who formerly coached at UCLA and with Denver and New Jersey in the pro ranks "He called me and told me about the kid. He told me he was a good student and wanted to get back to Southern California. Larry thought he would fit in well here. With Anthony Reuss set to graduate in June, Pelton likely will battle present sophomores N_1Is Madden and Steve Krallman fot one of the starting forward_ spots upon hlS return. If Egan can recruit a small forward to go along with sophomore center Scott Thompson, the Toreros would then be set al~.ng _the front line for at least the next two seasons. !~ really helps us a bunch," said Egan. "We've got good depth at that post1tion now. That's one area where we don't have to worry We can concen- rate on others." ·

Toreros' Carr gets the unenviable job By'1£.J!~arding Smith ·, Tr1bwie Sportswmer He came out of Los Ang,,es' Ham1lton High four years ago much more adept at stopping others from sconng titan scoring himself. If Chris Carr ever was going to make a name for himself in the college basketball ranks, it was obvious even back tllen tllat it would have to be done on the defensive end of the floor. That he has. From Hamilton to Santa Monica CC to USD, Carr has developed a reputatton as one of the best defensive guards m the West Coast Athletic Conference. And rarely does a game go by when be isn't challenged to prove 1t. The 6-3 senior will get another chance tomorrow. The Toreros travel north to take on Loyola Marvmount and Carr will be ask.ed to stop one of the nation's top scorers in Keith Smith. Or, contain him, at 1 ast. "He's a good player with great offensive skills," Carr was saymg yesterday of Smith. "He's not a gunner. It's Just that they're a guard• oriented offense and much of their offense 1s geared around him. They run a lot of clear-out stuff and let him go one on one. "But I already know from guardmg tum last year that he's tough. With most scorers. you shut down either his outside game or inside game and you've pretty much done your job. With him it doesn't really matter. He'll score from anywhere." Smith bas done plenty of that this season. Entering tomorrow night's action, the 6-3 Junior from West Covina JS averaging 24.8 pomts a game - tops ID the conference and eighth best in the country. He's also averagmg 6.3 assists to lead the WCAC in that category as well. In the Lions' 20 games, Smith has scored 20 points or more in 17 of them. And he's on a roll. He had outings last week of 29 points and 11 assists agaJDSt Santa Clara and 27 points and seven assists ilgainst St. Mary's. "He's a delight to watch," said Torero coach Hank Egan "He floats and floats and floats until he finds an opening. Then he's gone. But what makes him so tough is that he·s go1Dg to take what you give him. If you try to double him, he'll hit the open man. He's probably the best guard we'll see this year." And it will be up to none other than Mr. Carr to guard him. A rather difficult assignment? Perhaps his most difficult since trans.femng to the Alcala Park. school before last season. The way th1Dgs stand~s dropped four of its first five conference games - already 3lf, games behind conference-leading Pepperdine - and IS ID need of a victory here to at least return th.mgs to respectability. Hold1Dg Smith down certainly would help the cause. The Lions, meanwh!le, are in a similar situation. Loyola Marymount also enters with a 1-4 WCAC mark and, like the Torer<)S, its only confer- ence victory has come against last-place Portland. Hiirdly an impressive start. So, something obviously will have to give here. II Carr is sucressfQI against Smith, USD would appear to have enough overall strength up front to pull this one out. If he isn't, that would only make everyone else's job that much tougher. . "I have to~ honest with myself because I know he's going to get his points," said Carr, who also has found time on the offensive end to average 9.6 points a glime this year. "He's been doing that all season long ' and everybody they've played has tried to stop him. So, what you have to do is conta1D him, keep him from making the big basket. "He's not going t<' •ave a bad game," Carr added. "i ti the best you J hope he doesn't hit his average. out that's not as easy as it sounds.'' Carr would certtunly_know. In the past two years he's faced people hke Gonzaga's John Stockton, Curtis High of Nevada-Reno and San Diego Stat.e's Anthony Watson. Stockton was a No. 1 draft choice by the Utah Jazz after last season and High and Watson may Join him some day. Now, Carr will get a close look at another pretty good one. And In case you're wondering, USD won both ot last year's meetings and Smith wasn't a maJor factor in either. "Personally, I like games like this," said Carr, "even though you can get frustrated real easy if he starts turning it on. And he has the ability to do that. But 1t really doesn't both me. I'm always going to give 100 percent, so if he scores at least I know he had to work. to get it." can do is work hard
