This, of course, makes it difficult for Egan, because every time Manor touches the ball, Egan - like a child forced to play peekaboo - finds himself both frightened and e1cited at what might come ne1t. "I've never been an inside player," Manor said with a straight face after hitting five of eight field-goal at- tempts and finisbmg with 15 points in 19 minutes. "Coach Egan says if we have the good shot within our of- fense, then take il But if I miss a couple shots, I know I don't have to look at Coach Egan, beca e'll al- ready be looking at me."

He knows better than to grin, but Mark Manor must take devilish de- light in his running game of peeka- boo with University of San Die~ basketball coach liani Egan. Egan likes his players to be stand- ing in the shadow of the backboard before they shoot, but Manor prefers to fire when he can see the back- board. And he's got good eyesight. Last night, Manor came out of the locker room shooting. He hit back-to- back three-point baskets - extend- ing his streak of three-pointers to seven over two games - to give the Toreros a 9-2 lead, and it was over for Loyola Marymount almost before it began. Manor's 13 first-half points al- lowed USD to build a 41-22 halftime lead, and the West Coast Athletic Conference-leading Toreros coasted home, 82-48, before a standing-room crowd of 2,500-plus in the USD Sports Center. Tbe Toreros, 8-0 at home this sea- son and 20-1 there over the past two years, improved to 15-i overall, 6-1 in the WCAC with their fifth straight victory. LMU dropped to 10-9 and 2- 4.

mendations to the Legislature. The association is painfully slow to respond to the 10,000 com- plaints it receives about attorney misconduct each year. Indeed, some of the 6,700 allegations and disciplinary proceedings against lawyers have been pending near- ly 10 years. When the bar does act, it rarely recommends disbar- ment, as witness the case of Rob- ert Lee Nevill. Although the San Diego attorney was convicted of killing his wife six years ago, in the presence of his 16-month-old daughter, the association recom- mended he be suspended for two to four years following his re- lease from prison. Fortunately, the state Supreme Court disre- the Legislature to demand that lawyers police their profes- sion.

't stop Toreros Alw a senior, Leonard did a little of everything on the court. He scored eight points, had eight assists and three steals, and even defended the middle on a fast-break by blocking a shot. "It's great having a guy like Scott on this team, but we realize that they compacted the zone throughout most of the first half," said Leonard. "It's up to me to swing the ball, find the open man, and play defense." That he did, especially when he covered guard Chris Nikchevich. The Lions second-leading scorer (13.8 per game) was continually frustrated as the USO lead grew to 41-22 by halftime. Nikchevich tried to draw his team closer by matching USO three- point goals, but came away empty on all nine attempts. Loyola's 48 points was its lowest total in 151 games. Meanwhile, USO started to dent the Lion zone, getting the ball to Thompson. Receiving the ball at the low post, he proved his versatility by peering over the defense and hitting the open man instead of always shooting. "He's an unselfish player," said Egan, whose side avenged its last home-court loss 11 games ago. "Scott made some great passes off the weak side of the zone. When he does that, the kids play well. I can't take them off the court." However, the entire bench participated in the victory, keeping the Toreros (15-4, 6-1) one-half game ahead of Gonzaga. All but a pair of USO players scored, paced by Madden's 17 points. Thompson added 13 points and eight rebounds in just over a half of play, while Mark Manor added 15 points in 19 minutes. Loyola received 17 points from guard Enoch Simmons, while Mike Yoest, the WCAC's leading scorer, was limited to just 14.
