Sa I?,:fg<1~~aring the 1990sWith a Potent'al for Gr at Things By DIRK SUTRO V

SAN DIEGO-Most architects seem to agree that the last decade was more of a painful adolescence than a graceful maturing. But many lessons learned dunng the past 10 years have advanced San Diego's architectural scene to the point where the city appears poised for great things mthe ·90s, Most observers are hard-pressed to name any landmark bwldings put up in the past JO years, and only one may stand the test of time: the new San Diego Conven- tion Center, architect Arthur Er- ickson's masterpiece of concrete geometnes. But if there weren't many out- standing buildings for a city that recently became the nation's socth largest. there were other mile- stones. As the decade began. former Mayor Pete Wilson led the way toward developing a new down- town core. Its transformation from a place with little retail actlVlty and virtually no residenual base to an urban center that incorporates both, as well as the awesome pace of development elsewhere in the city, often proceeded too quickly for the good of arclutecture. Horton Plaza evolved from a mall with many street-level open- ings to a closed-in design. This has proven successful commercially but less viable as a tool 31med at revitalizing nearby streets.

Kentucky Hank Egan sat and squirmed, squirmed and sat, and watched with occasionally clenched fists as his USD basketball team gave back a 13-point"lead agains[ Western Kentucky last night But from Egan's mouth came only the good. Well, mostly the good The words of encouragement may have come in staccato bursts, but they did come. . It is part of Egan's pre-New Year's resolu- tion, and already it has paid a dividend. With their coach pull1... liack on his own reins, the Toreros found the way themselves and took a 72-66 vict.:iry at the USD Sports Center. "This IS a team that's in a struggle, and th~t has had a confidence crisis coming on," said Egan, whose team improved to 4-7. "Hopefully, that's past " In order to speed the process, Egan said, the To~eros, who had Jost two straight, spent some time over the holidays considering how best to attack their problems. "What we decided to do,'' Egan said, "was to have the coach quit putting pressure on these kids to develop so fast ... Maybe I was forcing the issue a little bit." ~d so last night there was Egan, fighting the impulse to holler - at the officials, at his players. He watched a 50-37 lead shrink to 51- 50 with 7:35 left to play. He blamed himself for failing to call a timeout during Western Kentucky's run which included three three-point shots. And then he watched as the Hilltoppers; Rodney Ross tapped m a rebound shot, giving his team its first lead since an 11-10 advantage early in the first half. But Egan held on, and so, finally, did the Toreros. With hustling play down the stretch from sophomore guard Gylan Dottin and front-line players John Jerome and Kelvin W~ods, USO maintained its composure, J :egamed the lead and never gave it E,,
