CNA reports an increasing memb rship in Region 2 to 716 members. When G11Torp took over as the·president-elect ack in 1986, the local organization had less than 100 member nurses, it said. . . .

USD has been the most troubled, losing five games by five points or less. In each, poor free-throw shooting, especially down the stretch, was costly. The top free- throw·shooter on the team, Way- man Strick.land, 1s making 76%. Sophomore center Dondi Bell has improved somewhat this season, from, 50% to 57%, with a new 1-handed style. USD'women Candida Echeverria and Paula Mascari are making 87% and 81%, respectively, of their free throws. For SDSU's women, the lowest percentage of the starters is fresh· man Crystal Lee at .739. Center Chana Perry has made 77% (78 of 101); . Stefanie Massie ~% and Brooke Meadows 84%. Julie Evans has missed only I m 25 attempts (96%) , For the men, Tony Ross (87.5%) is the only player above 80%. Only seven others are above 70%: One is Sam Johnson, who has improved from 49% last year to 78% this season. USIU has only three women's players (one injured, two reserves) below 67%. The men's team has eight. ' "l~'s.supposed to be a free shot," said Aztec center Mitch McMullen, a 50% free-throw shooter. "There's no excuse. Shame on us if we don't make it." So why the trend at each school? Could it be that women are better free-throw shooters in general? Did Nostradamus predict the wrong shake-up? Jim Brandenburg, SDSU's men's coach, said, "I think women, in general, have better pairs of hands than men. To catch, to pass, to do a Jot of different dext erous- type

SAN DIEGO-The men's bas- ketball coaches and players at San D!ego State, the Uni.Yersity of San Qiego and U.S. International might bepiiined to read the numbers in the Guinness Book of World Re- cords: -On June 25, 1977, Ted St. Martin of Jacksonville, Fla., made 2,036 free throws in a row. -Fred Newman of San Jose m~de 88 consecutive free throws blmdfo!ded and 338 of 356 (94.9%) m 10 minutes. -In 24 hours, Jeff Liles made 15,138 of 17,862 (8 • .7% ). Last year, UC San Diego's Rob Rittgdsersf set NCAA Division III or mo t and consecutive free throws In a game when he n:iade 30 of 30, including 24 succes- s1ve technical foul shots, against Menlo College. t Please see LINE, Page 18 recor

Brum add that free tiirow shooting is different from the rest of the game becau. e you use differ- ent motor movements at the lme. "I teach relaxation. focusing and key words in a process called backward shaping," he said. Brum said backward shapmg is a :nethod of going through and J arning the fundamental move- ments in reverse order to eliminate errors and bad habits. It all sounds very psychological, but SDSU women's Coach Earnest Riggins says, simply, "Free-throw shooting is mental discipline and concentration." Poor free-throw shooting, said Brandenburg, "ls kind of like being an alcoholic. You'll never beat it until you can say, 'Yes, I'm an alcoholic.'" What happens, Brandenburg said, "is it really becomes a psycho- logical thing with a lot of players. Players that have high anxiety levels, players that are hyper and really want to please, those guys will get up there on that foul line and their heart comes right up in their throat. You can work on free throws and work on free throws, but sometimes you have good free-throw shooting teams and sometimes you don't." Brandenburg said players also tend to see free throws as an unglamorous aspect of the game. For all the analysis, some of the local men's players just might be suffering from an affliction for which there is no cure. Lincoln High School Coach Ron Lonesk1 was a teammate of Wilt Chamberlain's at the University of Kansas. "I played with the worst shooter in the world," he said, "and nobody had an answer for him."

things. "I'm not sure that I could stat1st1 · cally prove it. But from my ob~er- vation of 30 years of coaching, women can probably outshoot the men within certain ranges." Kathy Marpe, USD's women's coach, said, "Women have a more sensitive feel for the ball. And they tend to have more patience." On Jan. 25, 1986, Marpe's USD team set an NCAA record for free-throw shooting percentage in a game by making 24 of 24. "l think women may have a better mental attitude than men," says USIU men's Coach Gary Za- recky. "Everything I've read is that women handle stress better than men." It's all true, says Mike Brum, an SDSU graduate student who works with the men's and women's play- ers as a sports psychologist consul- tant. "It's been proven, women have a tendency to have greater control over fine muscle movement than men do," Brum said. "And they have a built-in system of handling stress because their bodies are prepared to bear children. They are better able to handle fine motor movements in stressful situations."

We're young nd struggling. My players aren't dumb. The truth is out, and I don't know if bavmg to face the truth so often helps. "I'm just concerned .. . about -our rebounding, our outside shooting, ur free-throw shooting. We have to clean up the way we play. We've ot to have better shot selection. Wftve got to play more consistent defense." Maybe it is time to make some changes. One Egan is considering would move 6-foot-5 freshman Gylan Do in (13.4 points, 5.1 rebounds a game) from forward to off-guard opposite senior Danny Means (11.1 ppg). That change would get forward Kelvin Woods into the lineup. Tbe1i--5 freshman is one of USD's stronger rebounders. x

SAN FRANCISCO - In two years, Hank Egan may eagerly embark on a Wes Coast Athletic Conference basketball season with the nucleus of his current team. At the moment, however, taking on seasoned WCAC teams with a band of three freshmen, four sophomores and three upperclassmen - two of USD's better players are redshirting this season as transfers - is no fun for lhe Toreros' coach. "We're going to be a good team," Egan said this week as the Toreros tried to recover from a weekend Egan described as "our worst week- end of basketball in my five seasons here." The Toreros are 5-9, and a four- gaire losing streak bas carried over into a 0-2 start in WCAC play. They have lost seven of their last eight, beating only Marist College in a 62- 56 struggle. And things don't look to get I>(. ••.Gr. The easiest portion of USD\ 14- game WCAC schedule was last week- end with home games against Gonza- ga and Portland. The Pilots had lost 22 straight before defeating the Toreros, 57-54, on Saturday.

Baeketba~ark Kraatz had 15 oints~'i( l~?sists to lead Christian Heritage past Fresno Pacific, 93-84, at Granite Hills High. Bill Soucie scored 18 and Brad Soucie 17 for the Hawks (16-3). Fresno is 12-5 . .. Yvonne Sanchez scored 17 but USIU's women lost at ~tahf 0 67-64. Sonya C rter score? 1 foe·1~e Gulls (4-13), w o play at Wyom10g tonight ·: · Juhe Lemery scored a career- high , 10, all in the second half, to lead USD s women pas,t USF 63 61 .

USD hosts Santa Cla;a tonight at 7:30 ... Southwest- e~n s wome~ beat host San Diego City, 62-52, m Pacific Coast Confer. e~ce play.

weren't hitting the sbet, but the percentages were with us and I was hoping the ne:rt one would go down." Instead, the Toreros kept missing. USD shot a season-low 31 7 percent against Portland, hitting 20-of-63 shots. And Egan thought the team had ot poorly the night before in a 71-66 overtime I to Gonzaga. The Toreros shot 38.5 percent (20- of-52) m that one. Shootmg is one thing, but there are many rea• sons the Torenis (0-2 in the WCAC, 5-9 overall) are truggling this season. 'There's no simple answer," said Egan. "There's a lot of thmgs we have to do to wm. A lot of that is just clean up the way we play basketball. Shot lection More consistent defense...• '' One thmg is certain, Egan's decisions this week will be based on facts, not hope. Th re will be changes tonight against USF (0-2, 8-7) USD sophomore center Dondi Bell will re-

place sophomore Keith Colvin in the starting line- up. Bell had started eight games this season be- fore struggling in recent weeks and being re- pl~ced by Colvin. Bell is USD's leading rebounder with 6.6 rebounds a game. He is the Toreros' fourth-leading scorer, averaging 9.9 points. E~an plans to wo:k freshman forward Gylan Dottm at guard dunng some point In the game against the Dons. That's one way to get the ball into Dottin's hands more often. Dottin leads USO with 13 points a game. USF has been up and down this season. Last week was a downer. The Dons opened the WCAC season in Los Angeles and li>st to Loyola Marym- ount (113-95) and Pepperdme (71-53). Senior center Mark McCathrion leads the Dons with 15 4 points and 7.3 rebounds a game. Santa Clara (0-2, 11-4), which is USF's travel partner, also lost twice in L.A. last week at Pep- perdine (72-63) and at Loyola Marymount,(87-80).
