Physically, the football was about what I expected. Everyone's bigP.er. nd stronger, but I'm bigger nd . tronger than I was in high school. "But the defenses we face are a lot different than in high school. At Fallbrook, the idea was to get the defense spread out, open some holes. Thmgs are more closed in here. It's quite a change." Barksdale is contemplating another change not playing ba:seball, a sport in which he ex- celled at Fallbrook. "I've got a hard dec1s1on to make," he said . "I could just • stick with football. I don't know. The studies here are real tough and you're really pressed for time I really rlon't know what I'm going to do." Two weeks ago, Brian Fogarty didn't know what Barksdale could do . He doc· now, though, and he likes what he's seen. /'.'.'.j

ark§ Division Ill football, but Division I ba:seball. "USO 1s just perfect for me," Barksdale said. "I love it here. The football is just nght. There were some questions in my mind about stepping up a level and be- ing able to play and I was kind of discouraged at first. But I tried to stick with it, worked hard in practice and finally got my shot.'' Though Fogarty doesn't name his starter until the day of the game, the coach hinted the job might belong to Barksdale. "Ty got his opportunity, and he's not going lo let the other guys get it back," Fogarty said. "We've got to win our next three games - and they're all going to be tough - to get to the playoffs. Ty's started the last two, done well and we've won 'cm both." While it bothers ome, Barksdale doesn't mind the mystery surrounding the starting assignments. "It's a guessing game," he against week last again By JOHN MAFFEI Staff Writer SAN DIEGO - and his performance, have pushed him to the front. He's adapted well to college foot- ball. He was never intimidated and more importantly, never complained. He's tough, quick, well put together and has a natural maturity. Plus, he doesn't let defenders get a full shot at him. No body ever hits him flush Defenders only get part of him. "It's hard to find kids like Ty because they all have their sights set high. They either go to a JC or walk on at a Division I program." Those thoughts never really crossed Barksdale's mind. An outstanding student, he was looking for an academ- ic-oriented school that played • See Barksdale.

The Toreros, now 5- 1-1, won both games and are squarely in the thick of the NCAA Division III playoff race with a key contest at powerful UC Santa Barbara on Saturday. There are 210 Division III schools with only ,16 - four from each o.f four regions - going to the playoffs. And while the other runners are regaining their health, Barksdale - who now has 229 yards and three TDs on 55 car- ries - still figures big in USD's plans . "I really didn't know how much Ty would contribute as a freshman," said USO coach Brian Fogarty. "But ilfjuries, It started the first week o.f fall practice. First, one running back went down with an injury, then another was lost in the first game, another in the third and yet another the next game.

Frank Love, a 6-foot-l, 215-pound freshman inside linebacker, leads USO (5-1-1) in sacks with 5½ and ranks third in tackle with 46, entering today's 1 p.m. game at UC- anta Barbara (&-1). USO ha allowed 176 yards per game, second among 211 Division III school· in total defense. Love, an honora- ble mention all-state linebacker al Oklahoma City's Bishop McGuin High School, has been a major factor. "Frank's really mtense," aid Toreros defensive coor- dinator Kevin )tcGarry, no mellow guy himself. "When he put th pads on m our first scrimmage, we knew that he'd tum out to be a player for us. He's good fundamen- tally, nd be c n run faster than some of our f nsive backs (4.7 seconds for 40 yards)." That Love is starting at all is a testimony to his abili- ty. Entering training camp, the inside-linebacker posi- tion were con idered one of USD's defensive strengths, with returning ·tarters Chuck Royer and Shawn Re- zaian. "I wa very surprised," Love said. "I thought I'd play my first year here, but I d1dn t dream of starting." Tom Ward, Love's high school coach, was less surprised. Love had 212 tackles in 14 games last year in helping Bishop McGuinnes., (11-3) reach the state 3A division semifinals. "He wa just a dominant player for us - a very intimidating type of kid," Ward said by telephone. "He's not a dirty player. He didn't talk a lot, but he was almost animali tic in his ferocity. He's a great kid. but some of us have that inside us - that little inner part that you couldn't have on the street, because you'd get locked up. He's very good at channeling that on the field." At one point, Love was a little too good at it. With Bishop McGuiness leading, 14-0, in the first quar- ter of a game la t year, Love drew a personal foul after a sack. Ward chuckled as he described the situation: "I asked the referee what Frank said to get the penalty The ref said, 'Nothing.' Then I asked him what Frank did. The ref said. 'Nothing' Well then, I asked, 'Why'd you give him the penalty?' And the ref said it was because his pres- ence on the field was intimidating the other team. I just hook my head. What can you say to that?" Love overslept last week and missed the team bus to the game at Claremont, arriving by borrowed car 15 minutes before kickoff. For the first time this season, he didn't start - but did play enough to make five tackles. e Univer 1t of n Di ootball t m' fen 1Ve success this season. . , o '• JU' P.

Copley News Service WA':lHINGTON -The Senate Jud- iciary Committee. expects to h?ld a hearing next month on Pres1d~nt Reagan's long-pending controversial nomination of University of San Di~,gn )aw professor Bernard S~ega? to be a judge on the 9th U.S. Circlllt Court of Appeals. No date has been set, but the hear- ing J>robab!Y will begin before Nov. 17, committee spokeswoman Jane Berman said. Siegan, 63, was nominated by Mr. Reagan on Jan. 30 for a vacancy on the appeals court, but opposition to Siegan's judicial theories of econom- ic rights prompted the liberal Demo- crats who control the committee to delay a hearing. Committee action on Siegan was delayed further when Mr. Reagan nominated Appeals Court Judge Rob- ert H. Bork to the Supreme Court on July 1. The committee focused a!- most exclusively on the Bork noIID- nation until his defeat in the full Sen- ate last week. San Diego, Calif Union (Crrc. D 2 I 7 324) (Circ.

The Toreros (6-1-1) didn't allow the Gaucho (6-2) past their 20-yard line for their fourth shutout of the year. "We knew we would be in trouble with the muddy field," said USO coach Brian Fogarty. After Jeff Mansukhani's I-yard punt return, Todd Jackson ran 3 yards and caught a I-yard pass. Quarterback Brendan Murphy (14 carries, 71 yards) ran 15 yards to the 27, Jackson had a 2-yard run and Murphy carried the ball to the 17.
