right in the middle of trying to get a lot better than what we are," Bran- denburg said. "We've made some strides, but we have a long way to go." Egan has seen the improvement already. "I think the job he's done has been miraculous," Egan said. • • • NOTES - Starting forward Mike Haupt of USD has seen this rivalry from both sides. The Toreros lost by four points (57-53} in Egan's first sea- son when Haupt had a steal and two free throws down the stretch to help San Diego State. Haupt later trans- ferred to USD. • It was reported here recently that SDSU forward Sam Johnson is 23. Big Sam is 21. • SDSU has sold 1,588 basketball season tickets, according to ticket manager Vickie Larsen. She said there has been early ticket buying for the Rhode Island game, the Holi- day Bowl Classic and the Wyoming game. She said the Nav~ purchased 1,200 a night (at half-price) for the Classic. Fresno State has taken 500 tickets. "I think we could see 3,000 in there a night for the Classic," Larsen said. • SDSU welcomed three walk-on guards this week. One is cornerback William Dixion (5-11, 175 pounds), over from the Aztecs football team. Dixion is eligible to play right now. The other two won't be eligible until next semester. The Jack Morses were in New York in mid-November for events re- lating to the New York Council of Navy League. On Dec. 9 they attend- ed in Washington, D.C., the benefit ball for the United Service Organiza- tions as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Mor- ris Wax of San Diego. Their schedule will involve trips overseas in the new year. Mr. and Mrs. Edgar A. Luce Jr. (Barbara) rented a house at Quinta resort in Palm Desert for a relaxed Thanksgiving reunion of their family, which plans to gather again Christ- mas. Their reunion included: Mrs. Luce's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Remy (Kadee) of Palos Verdes; Mrs. Luce's brother-in- law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Supple (Shirley) of Arcadia; and Mrs. Thomas Remy (Ruth) of Pasadena, mother of Mrs. Luce. The Luces' immediate family in- cludes: Mr. and Mrs. Steve Jubb (Connie) and children, Lucas and Sonya of Oakland; Mr. and Mrs. George Howard (Jenny Luce) of Sola- na Beach; Miss Debi Luce of Red- wood City; and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cameron Luce (Anne Reynolds) of San Carlos and children, Edgar Luce IV and Thomas. Mrs. Edythe H. Scripps of La Jolla, who has been enjoying a pre-holiday visit from Mrs. John Burress (Mary Hotz) of Dunwoody Crossing, Atlanta, formerly of San Diego, will be with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Evans Jr. (Victoria) and their son, Douglas, on Christmas. Despite involved party schedules many holiday celebrators find time to enjoy cultural attractions and par- ties related to them. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Windle (Janet) of La Jolla host- ed a post-concert reception in their home Nov. 21, following the second concert in La Jolla Chamber Music Society's Sherwood Audi~orium se- ries. The Windles' family Thanksgiv- ing reunion included Mr. Windle's brother-in-law and sister, Dr. and Mrs. Karl Wedemeyer (Nancy) of Sherman Oaks, who will host the family Christmas celebration. This "splitting the work" format is tradi- tional in the Windle/Wedemeyer families during the holidays. Joyce Waters of La Jolla also is balancing personal holiday plans and community commitments. She is chairman of "Holiday Gift of Music" to be offered Dec. 20 when La Jolla Chamber Music Society presents the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in Immaculata Church, Uftiversity of San Die_go, at 7 p.m. Holidays approach and, predict- ably, yuletide preparation worries will vanish as wishful dreams come true.

That's the most disappointing part of our season. I had th~ ~~ling going in that we would be d1s1omted and that we would have a few prob- lems execution-wise. The effort and

The coaches faced different team moods when they took over at their respective schools. There were re- minders of Jim Brovelli's teams for Egan m 1984. People wanted to re- member There are very few remind- ers of Smokey Gaines' team for Brandenburg. People want to forget. And, to his credit, Brandenburg hasn't criticized bis predecessor. Egan tired quickly of hearing that he was winning with Brovelh-~e- cnuted players. He's quick to pornt out that three of the five starters on last year's West Coast Athletic Co~- ference championship club were h!S players. He br~tlf;i when it's sug- gested that this 1s his first USO t~am that doesn't include one Brovelll-re- cruited player. "Do you think that if we had lost all those games with Scott Thompson that it would have been Jim Brovel• li's team?" Egan asked. "You betcha. It would have been my team. Those guys were with me a lot longer than they were with anybody else. Every- body writes up all the time that the talent was here when we got here. But we brought in some." Both coaches are concerned abo~t the same things as they enter this game. They have young players, many of whom are struggling to ad- just to Division I life. For Egan's team the game comes at semester break. For Brandenburg's bunch, it's final exams. "I wish that we were in better Clotfelter (Leith Ramsey) of Rancho Santa Fe, Mrs. Nelson E. Smith (Liz Ramsey) of La Jolla, Mrs. Wes Hark- er (Mary) of Point Loma and Mrs. Maurice Kaplan (Charmaine) of Ran- cho Santa Fe: They were joined by two friends from Santa Fe, N.M. Mrs. Bieler and her husband, who is di1 ector of development at the San Diego Zoo, were joined during the Thanksgiving holidays at their Corte Madera vacation house by Mrs. Ewart Goodwin (Beatriz) of Mission Hills, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sawday (Ruth) of Julian and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shanks of Brawley. The Bielers will entertain family members Christmas Eve at their Mission Hills house and will dine on Christmas at the Westgate Hotel with Mrs. Goodwin; Ellen Bee Dunne of Beverly Hills; Dominick Dunne, author, of New York City; and Griffin Dunne of New York City. The Bielers' son, Stewart, who graduated from Stanford University in June, is now employed here. The Bielers' daughter Beatrice will re- turn for Christmas from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. The Bielers' youngest child, Christine, attends junior high school in San Diego. Dr. and Mrs. Guy E. Maggio (Aqui- lyn) of La. Joli started celebrating the season early. They hosted a siz- able dinner party at San Diego Coun- try Club in Chula Vista on St. Nicho- las' Day, Dec. 6. St. Nicholas, one of the most popular saints in Christen- dom, is the original Santa Claus. The party evoked· the colorful holi- day mood, even in party invitations, which were bordered with red and green holly decorations. On Thanksgiving the Maggios celebrat- ed in Palo Alto with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and M:5. Stephen Rudolph (Mary Beth) and the Ru- dolphs' daughter, Lynn, who was born last Easter Sunday. The Mag- gios, who have lived here since 1939, will celebrate Christmas here with other members of their immediate family: Mr. and Mrs. A.T. Colonelli (Carolyn) of Fletcher Hills; Mr. and Mrs. John Maggio (Susan) of Point Loma; and Barbara Maggio. December will be rich in celebra- tions for Mr. and· Mrs. Robert F Adelizzi (Tommie Lane) of Point Loma. They will observe their 28th wedding anniversary Dec. 22 here and will leave the next day for Drex- el Hill, Pa., where on Christmas they will celebrate the 80th birthday of Mr. Adelizzi's mother, Mrs. A. Fred· erick Adelizzi (Natalee). The party will be in the home of Robert F. Adelizzi's brother-in-law and sister, Dr. and Mrs. Jay Desjardins (Norma). *Jackson Continued From D-2

This season, Mr. Scudder attended his 50th class reunion of San Diego High School, where he was a member of the varsity baseball team, a role he later had at the University of Cali- fornia at Berkeley. San Diego's annual Parade of Lights (a festive procession of deco- rated and lighted boats on the bay) always inspires shore celebrations.
