J l/len '• P. c. B. csr I U8 Lucas' lawyers oppose linking 2 murder cases Attorneys defending David Allen Lucas, who is charged with six mur- ders and one attempted murder, have petitioned one Superior Court judge to halt proceedings before an- other judge. Lawyers Alex Landon and Steven Feldman yesterday asked Richard Haden, supervising criminal-court judge, to rule that Judge William Kennedy lacks jurisdiction to bear a prosecution motion to combine two three-murder cases into one trial. Landon and Feldman, Lucas' at- torneys in one of the cases, said only one of the cases has been assigned to Kennedy for trial. All of Lucas' attor- neys have participated in the consoli- dation heari before nnedy, how- ever. Haden, after seemg an estimated 100 pages of briefs filed by Lucas' attorneys, continued the hearing until Tuesday. In the case assigned to Kennedy, Lucas, 30, is charged with murdering Suzanne Jacobs, 31, and her son, Colin, 3, on May 4, 1979, in their Nor- mal Heights home; and murdering real estate saleswoman Gayle Gar cia, 29, on Dec. 8, 1981, in a Sprin1, Valley home she was showing to pro- spective renters.

Manor, who is averaging 7.6 points and 3.8 rebounds, took reports of a lineup change as a personal chal- lenge. "Sometimes I catch myself going with the flow during a game instead of putting my neck out and going for broke," he said. "I've got to play harder. I don't think it would affect me mentally if I didn't start. If it did, it would affect me for the better. It would be just like a kick in the pants." Like the Toreros, Santa Clara ex- perienced its share of problems last week. The Broncos lost to Loyola Marymount 68-67 before beating Pepperdine 76-50. Santa Clara blew a 15-point second-half lead against Loyola Marymount. which led just twice in the game t 2-0 and at the buzzer. The Broncos recovered against Pepperdine behind a career-high 18 points from semor forward Brian Moody and 17 from 6-foot-9 junior center Dan Weiss. ens Gordan, the Broncos' 6-9 sophomore forward, is the team's leading scorer at 10.6 points a game. Guards Mitch Burley and Chris Lane balance the scoring with more than nine points each. While they have struggled the past week, the Toreros may find comfort at home. USD is 5-0 at the Sports Center this season and 29-5 with Egan as coach. But that's nothing to rest on as Egan pointed out with his parting comments. "I've got to go to a film session," he said, "and then I've got an eight- hour practice."

Toreros shot 34.7 percent, Thompson did not grab a rebound in 26 minutes of action and the Toreros were outre- bounded 36-25. "Neither game did we execute very well or play very hard," Egan said. "It's not coming together as easy as we thought. We are not exe- cuting very well and our intensity is not very high. "The truth is, we're going to have to play a lot better. When you're sup- posed to be the best, you've got to raise yourself up; make a commit- ment. "This is not a threat Hopefully, it would he seen as a positive thing. 'I'm looking at different things' -Hank Egan the team." Madden, who leads the team with 7.1 rebounds a game and is averaging 10.6 points, agrees that the Toreros played poorly against Gonzaga. " o one was really happy with the way we played last week," Madden said. "I thought we played hard against Portland, but we went into Gonzaga a little lighter. I guess we thought they'd be easier. I guess we did lose a little intensity We can't let that happen anymore. "Starting I don't think is that big a deal. It's what you do when you're in there. He (Egan) knows what all the players can do. He just has to play the ones who will allow us to win. Whatever happem, I thmk we'll be ready no matter who starts." Hopefully, this will hel
