'an Diego, Thursday, eptember 10, 1987 Toreros ready to play football again ... just for the fun of it ;z.q~ U I' .\T llSD, there are no Proposition 48 problems, no drug controver ics, no player taking money from gent while till playing football. Al o, Fogarty recently lost two offensive linemen, one to medical school and the other to UCLA. The latter won't be playing for the Bruins, of course. He went there toting a 39 GPA and chose UCLA because it offered the kind of courses he needed. THE WHITES - William White and Terry White once started together in the Ohio State defensive backfield. But now, a year after Terry White was booted off the Ohio State team, they will be on opposite sides of the field Saturday when the University of West Virginia vis- its Columbus to play the Buckeyes.

fighting ability in the water, but when the Midshipmen's football team lines up this weekend, these Middies will move like the Army's infantry. Taking a page from the other Pentagon teams, Army and Air Force, Navy has adopted the wishbone offense. First-year Navy coach El- liot Uzelac said he based his decision to switch to the wishbone after eval.uating the talent on the Navy team. Translation: He didn't have a quarterback who could throw. • • • ALABAMA-PENN STATE-Are we seemg the last of these annual Alabama-Penn State games? Possibly. This major iotersectional rivalry - 11th-ranked Penn State plays host to 19th-ranked Alabama on national television Saturday - may end in 1990. At least that's what Ala- bama athletic director Steve Sloan said this week. He's considering other top teams like Oklahoma, UCLA or USC. "We have not decided to continue the series," Sloan said. "But we haven't decided to discontinue the series, either." The Crimson Tide has won five of the nine games between the two. The wins include some classics, like tbe 1975 and 1978 'Barna wins in the Sugar Bowl. Penn State's Joe Paterno wants to renew the series, but Sloan, saying the games diminish both teams chances to be picked for a major bowl, is leaning to other games. Thing 1s, what makes Sloan think playing Oklahoma, UCLA or even lowly USC is any better than going to Happy Valley in the fall? • • •

These two with the same last name are really a con- trast. The Mountaineers' Terry White said recently in an interview in the Dayton Daily News that he failed the first drug test he ever took at Ohio State, testing positive for marijuana and cocaine. He said he also failed a drug test shortly before the 1985 Rose Bowl trip and Buckeyes coach Earle Bruce kicked him off the team. After those two brushes with drug testing, White was kicked off the team 1n 1986 for drinking beer, Now mar- ried and the father of two children, Terry White says he's turned his life around now that he's living in more sedate West Virginia. By now you know that the other White, William, is an honor student at Ohio State, majoring in mechanical en- gineering. He's the Buckeyes' defensive captain and has 11 career interceptions. • • • TOUGHEST SCHEDULES - Notre Dame, Oregon State, Florida, UCLA, Washington, California, Louisiana State, USC, Oregon and Stanford have the toughest sched- ules in Division I-A, according to the NCAA. SDSU is ranked 44th on the list, highest of the nine WAC teams.

to accountant and tax expert Kerry McQuade, the 1986 federal tax law has wiped out many of the economic advantages of buying rather than renting. "I personally don't think it's worth it," said McQuade. With tuition rising faster than housing prices in recent years, few parents would be expected to have ready cash for down payments that See Buying on F-15

The Skemps estimate that Kelly's condo would sell for no more than its original purchase price be- cause of the glut in condos and the speculation that had boosted prices in the late-1970s when it was pur- chased. No. 2 - Tax law has changed twice since the Skemps' purchase, first in 1981 to liberalize benefits and then last year, to reduce them to less than they were originally. According
