to now we feel everyone has im- proved as mdividuals. Everybody has improved as a team. We're getting closer, but we're not there yet." Ready or not, the Toreros open play in the WCAC against Gonzaga on Friday at the USO Sports Center. USO, which won the regular-season conference championship in 1987, fin- ished seventh last season with a 3-11 record USD looked like a team to contend a early as the second game of the WCAC preview season, a 64-53 wm over New Mexico. At other times, the Toreros have shown their age - or lack of it. USO has 10 players on the roster who are either freshmen or sophomores. ''We thought it was gomg to be a tough preseason schedule as young as we were, but we got better," said Egan, whose team completed non- conJerence pla} Thursday night with a 64-59 loss at Western Kentucky. "We played as good a ballgame as maybe we have all year against Western Kentucky. We just didn't shoot well at the free-throw line." To paraphrase Egan if it isn't one thing it's another. That's the price one pays for youth. But wait until next year ... Next year is here for Gonzaga, Pepperdine, St Mary's, Santa Clara, and defending conference champion Loyola Marymount, where youthful- ness has given way to experience. Any and all of those teams should vie for the conference championship. And any one of those teams could rise up and win the conference tour- nament, which will be held March 4-6 at the University of San Francisco. Here's a look at the 1989 WCAC in predicted order of finish: ST. MARY'S Coach - Lynn Nance (203-113). Re- turning lettermen - 9. Returning tartert - 5. Non-conferen~ record -11-1 It's been 30 years since St. Mary's won the conference championship, so its about time the Galloping Gaels did it again. The credit for the program's resur- gence belongs to Nance, who look over a team that was coming off a 3-11 con- ference f1mSh in '86. The school hadn't seen back-to-back winning seasons in 25 years until Nance coached lhe Gaels to 17-13 and 19-9 finishes the past two seasons. A 65-64 loss to Stanford is the only reason this team isn't undefeated enter- ing conference play. Crucial to St. Mary's success - and a cornerstone of Nance's coaching philosophy - is de- fense. The Gaels have limited opponents to 58.2 points a game on 39.6 percent shooting from the held. Meanwhile, St.

SANTA CLARA

Coach - Dan Fitzgerald (108-68). Re- turning lettermen - 9 Returning atartara - 4. Non-confarence record -8-4. Gonzaga probably can't pull off enough surprises to win the conference this season, but the Zags should win enough games to determine who does win the title. Junior forward Doug Spradley (21.9 points a game) and Jim McPhee (19.5) give !he Bulldogs two of the confer- ence's top four scorers. The shooting of Spradley and McPhee allows Gonzaga to lead the conference In free-throw shooting arid three-point shooting. Gonzaga's problem Is that Its other three starters are averaging 16.5 points combined. Fitzgerald didn't know whether he should be concerned follow- ing the team's third-place finish In Wyo- ming's Cowboy Shootout. "I don't know if it it was that they weren't productive or if It was that we didn't give them a chance to be produc- tive," he said. · Fitzgerald Is concerned about the team's health. Four players are sidelined with injurres which gave the Bulldogs Just eight able-bodied players for prac- tice this week. The most serious injury Is to senior center Paul Verret, who leads the team with 6.8 rebounds a game. Verrett has a stress fracture of the right shinbone, which will sideline him at least four weeks. USO Coach - Hank Egan (218-229). Re- turning lettermen - 7. Returning starters - 1. Non-conference reco~d -5-7 Although USD lost for the fifth straight time on the road Thursday against Western Kentucky, the Toreros contin- ued to show signs of Improvement. The team's shooting from the floor improved and ii competed better mentally. USD is just waiting for its scores to reflect the . improvement. ·

- 10-2. Santa Clara has a veteran team and the most veteran of the conference's coaches. Not a bad combination. Williams has used the same live start- ers all 12 games and welcomes back senior Dave Aaron, who missed all 12 games with a broken hand. Aaron, who was projected as a starter at the begin- ning of the season, can play three differ- ent positions. Defense is winning games for the Broncos, who didn't allow an opponent to shoot more than 50 percent in any of their lirst 11 games. Williams remains concerned with offensive consistency and scoring off the bench. If the bench develops, watch out. Four of the five starters are scoring in double figures and Junior swingman Jetty Connelly isn't far away at 9.8 points a game. Senior forward Jens Gordon leads the team m scoring with 17.1 points and rebounding wlth 9.6. Semor guard Mitch Burley Is the shooter. He's averaging 13 points a game and has 27 of the team s 34 three- pointers. PEPPERDINE Coach - Tom Asbury (8-7). Return- ing lettermen - 6. Returning atart • ra - 4. Non-conference record - 8-7. The shooting of junior forward Tom Lewis and junior guard Craig Davis was supposed to make up for the absence of center Levy Middlebrooks' rebounding. Middlebrooks is gone, and so 1s the shooting touch of Lewis and Davis. Lewis, who is scoring average is down six poiAts to 16.8, is shooting 43 percent from the field after hitting 49 percent of his shots last season. Davis, whose av- erage has slipped three points to 12.1, Is shooting 39 percent after hilting 49 per- cent last season. Players like Junior forward Dexter Howard, who leads the team with 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds a game. have picked up the slack. Junior guard Shann Ferch, a Montana State transfer, is aver- aging 10 points off the bench. The Waves are ready to roll, though.

-7-5. Brovelll was encouraged with the pro- gram's progress when USF won seven of Its lirst nine games, but he's con- cerned about the Dons' current three- game losing streak. Included among USF's victories were wins over Idaho State to win the Fresno State Tournament and Hawaii to win the Met Life Classic the Dons hosted. The Dons play host to Notre Dame tonight following losses to San Jose State, Ari- zona State and Iowa State. Senior Mark McCathrion, USF's 6-8 center, leads the team with 15.6 points and 7.6 rebounds a game. The Dons also are getting double-figure scoring from junior forward Joel DeBortoll (12.5) and senior point guard Kevin Mouton (10.2). Sophomore swingman Scot. McWhorter, junior guard Shawn Sykes and sophomore forward James Bell are big off the bench, which is responsible for 33 percent of the team's scoring. PORTLAND Coach - Larry Steele (6-34). Return- ing lettermen - 6. Returning atartera - 1. Non-conference record - 0-12. The most positive thing to say about Portland is that the PIiots have nowhere to go but up. It could be awhile, though. Portland's last win was at home Feb. 6 against USD 68-64. Since then the Pilots have established the nation's longest losing streak, dropping 19 straight games with Notre Dame due in Monday night. Among the Pilots' problems: they're shooting an alHime low 54 percent from the free-throw line; they finally broke the 70-poinl barrier In the season's 11th game, a 79-71 loss to Stephen F. Austin; and they're being outscored by an aver age of 78-60.

A 65-64 loss to Stanford is the only reason this team isn't undefeated enter- ing conference play Crucial to St. Mary's success - and a cornerstone of Nance's coaching philosophy - is de- fense. The Gaels have limited opponents to 58.2 points a game on 39.6 percent shooting from the field. Meanwhile, St. ST. MARY'S Coach - tarters - 11-1. Lynn Nance (203-113). Re- 5. Non-conference record 9. Returning turning lettermen -

SANTA CLARA Coach - Carroll Williams (295-218). Returning lettermen - 9. Returning 1tarter1 - 2. Non-conference record - 10-2. Santa Clara has a veteran team and the most veteran of the conference's coaches. Not a bad combination. Williams has used the same five start- ers all 12 games and welcomes back senior Dave Aaron, who missed all 12 games with a broken hand. Aaron, who was projected as a starter at the begin- ning of the season, can play three differ- ent positions. Defense is winning games for the Broncos, who didn't allow an opponent to shoot more than 50 percent in any of their first 11 games. Williams remains concerned with offensive consistency and scoring off the bench. If the bench develops, watch out. Four of the five starters are scoring in double figures and junior swingman Jetty Connelly Isn't far away at 9.8 points a game. Senior forward Jens Gordon leads the team in scoring with ' 17. 1 points and rebounding with 9.6. Senior guard Mitch Burley is the shooter. He's averaging 13 points a game and has 27 of the team's 34 three- pointers. PEPPEROINE Coach - Tom Asbury (8-7). Return- ing lettermen - 6. R turning ,tartel'I - 4. Non-conf rence record - 8-7. The sh~ting of junior forward Tom Lewis and junior guard Craig Davis was supposed to make up for the absence of center Levy Middlebrooks' rebounding. Middlebrooks is gone, and so is the shooting touch of Lewis and Davis. Lewis, who is scoring average is down six points to 16.8, is shooting 43 percent from the field alter hitting 49 percent of his shots last season. Davis, whose av- erage has slipped three points to 12.1, is shooting 39 percent after hitting 49 per- cent last season. Players like Junior forward Dexter Howard, who leads the team with 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds a game, have picked up the slack. Junior guard Shann Ferch, a Montana State transfer, is aver- aging 10 points off the bench. The Waves are ready to roll, though.

Coach - Dan Fitzgerald (108-68). Re- turning lettermen - 9 Returning alarlere - 4. Non-conference record -8-4 Gonzaga probably can't pull olf enough surprises to wm the conference this season, but the Zags should win enough games to determine who does win the title. Junior forward Doug Spradley (21.9 points a game) and Jim McPhee (19.5) give the Bulldogs two of the confer- ence's top four scorers. The shooting of Spradley and McPhee allows Gonzaga to lead the conference In free-throw shooting arid three-point shooting. Gonzaga's problem is that its other three starters are averaging 16.5 points combined. Fitzgerald didn't know whether he should be concerned follow- ing the team's third-place finish in Wyo- ming's Cowboy Shootout. "I don't know if it it was that they weren't productive or if it was that we didn't give them a chance to be produc- tive," he said. · Fitzgerald is concerned about the team's health. Four players are sl(lellned with injuries which gave the Bulldogs just eight able-bodied players for prac- tice this week. The most erious injury is to senior center Paul Verret, who leads the team with 6.8 rebounds a game. Verrett has a stress fracture of the right shinbone, which will sideline him at least four weeks. USO Coach - Hank Egan (218-229). Re- turning lettermen - 7. Returning 1tartera - 1. Non-conference record -5-7. Although USD lost for the fifth straight time on the road Thursday against Western Kentucky, the Toreros contin- ued to show signs of improvement. The team·s shooting from the floor improved and it competed better mentally. USD is just waiting for its scores to reflect the .improvement.

SAN FRANCISCO

Coach - Jim Brovelll (203-183). Re• 3. Non-conference record -7-5. Brovelli was encouraged with the pro- gram's progress when USF won seven of its first nine games, but he's con- cerned about the Dons' current three- game losing streak. Included among USF's victories were wins over Idaho State to win the Fresno State Tournament and Hawaii to win the Met Life Classic the Dons hosted. The Dons play host to Notre Dame tonight following losses to San Jose State, Ari- zona State and Iowa State. Senior Mark McCathrion, USF's 6-8 center, leads the team with 15.6 points and 7.6 rebounds a game. The Dons also are getting double-figure scoring from junior forward Joel DeBortoli (12.5) and senior point guard Kevin Mouton (10.2). Sophomore swingman Scott McWhorter, junior guard Shawn Sykes and sophomore forward James Bell are big off the bench, which Is responsible for 33 percent of the team's scoring. PORTLAND Coach - Larry Steele (6-34). Return• ing lettermen - 6. Returning 1tarter1 - 1. Non-conference record - 0-12. The most positive thing to say about Portland Is that the Pilots have nowhere to go but up. It could be awhile, though. Portland's last win was at home Feb. 6 against USD 68-64. Since then the Pilots have established the nation's longest losing streak, dropping 19 straight games with Notre Dame due in Monday night. Among the Pilots' problems: they're shooting an all-time low 54 percent from the free-throw line; they finally broke the 70-point barrier In the season's 11th game, a 79-71 loss to Stephen F. Austin; and they're being outscored by an aver age of 78-60. turning lettermen - 7. Returning 1tartere -

USD opens its West Coast Athletic Conference season tonight at 7:30 in the USD Sports Center against Gon- zaga University with a 5-7 record that has reduced those expectations to a manageable size. ''I think the thing we've learned is how to sustain ourselves, to fight through things when thi ngs aren't going well," Coach Hank Egan said. The Bulldogs (9-4) are led by for- ward Jim McPhee and guard Doug Spradley, both of whom scored their l,0OOth career point in non-confer- ence action two weeks ago. Only 13 players have scored 1,000 points or more in the G nzaga's 82-year histo- ry. ''Overall, we're where we hoped to be," said Coach Dan Fitzgerald. "We felt the best we could be was 10-3." Gonzaga extended its winning streak to three with an 86-51 win over St. Martin's last Saturday. McPhee was t~e leading scorer with 24 points, and tied Todd Franklin for most re- bounds with 10. Emerging in preconference play for the Toreros was 6-foot-5 fresh- man forwa rd Gylan Dottin, the team's leading scorer with a 13-point average, and Dondi Bell, a 6-9 sopho- more center and team's top reboun- / der with seven per game. /

~cho~ls can't help partial qualifiers' B) Cbri Jenkin laff Writer SA FR SCO - Proposition 48 grew yet another tooth yesterday a sharp one. On the final day of its 83rd annual convention, the NCAA put even more bite mto its academic guidelines pa mg a bill that demes scholar~ ships to athletes whose high school Iran cnpts aren't completely up to tandard No longer will "partial qualifiers" under Prop 48, athletes who must s~t out their fr hman year of eligi- b1bty because of low high school grad or entrance-exam scores _ receive fmanc1al aid from a DIVlsion I college or uruversity. Supporters of th e proposal thmk they've removed a cavity through which un~ualified stu- d_cnt-athletes were getting into Divi- sion I schools Since the adoption of Prop. 48 tbree years ago, about 1,800 student- ath1et have entered Division I schools as partial qualifiers the NCAA said Heretofore, the p~rtial qualifier could attend school on sch~lar hip, though he or she was in- eligible to play or practice. F.arlicr in the week, the convention voted against a Big West Conference measure that would've given back a fourth year of eligib1hty to Prop. 48 student-athletes, provided they kept up their grades "We've all won," said Harvey Schiller commissioner of the Southeast rn Conference, ponsor of the bill known as Prop. 42.

But in the com of recruitment, !hiller smd. coaches found many rgh school seniors were putting all 1eir emphasis on the entrance xams. Instead of pushing the .high chool athletes toward the core cur- iculum, it was having the opposite ffect. "A lot of people came to realize hat what had been created was a oophole," said Schiller, a former ex- icutive director of the U.S. Olympic ~ommittee. "Kids were saying, 'I .von't take lab. I won't take language. I'll take any course to get that 2.0.' rhey were less prepared for college, ot more prepared. ' As a result, many Division I schools not only were opening thetr doors to freshm n ill-equipped to handle the demands of college, they

"We're really not depriving them," Jacoby said. "We're just steering them in a new direction " However, to secure a thr~e-year scholarship (which includes a redshirt year) at a major college, the player must graduate from the two- year school If leaving a community college after one year, the student- athlete would not be eligible for that first year, or for a scholarship. "It indicates clearly that the mem- bership supports Prop. 48," said the NCAA executive director, Dick Schultz. "Prop. 42 strengthens Prop. 48." • • • Just before adjournment, the con- vention approved an annual presea- son football game, a West Coast ver- sion of the Kickoff Classic.
