got 10 more line, building a 21-12 lead, before their backcourt scored. Ohio Northern took a second less than six minutes to get its first points of the game The Polar Bears were also shut out for a period of 14:31, from the closing minutes of the first hall until 9:03 remained in the game. "We've played some good Division I teams over the years, but I like this (USO) team as well as any," Daugherty aid. "They play good de- ferue, and they'll win some games when their offense is off on their de- fense alone "A lot of times, we couldn't get a shot gainst them." I\ anor led USO scorers with 11 ·n , aljden had 10 and Thompson 7. Thompson's 28 minutes of playing time topped the Toreros. Egan sub- stituted freely after Ohio Northern finally scored in the second-half shut- out. All 12 Toreros scored, another item that pleased Egan in his last game before entering West Coast Athletic Conterence play Thursday at Portland. "We wanted to get some playing time for as many players as we could," Egan said. "When we look at the tapes, we'll find out about some of the rough spots we still have to work on for the conference. I have to wait for tl:e films. I sound like a foot- ball coach, don't I?" Thompson, whose eight rebounds was second to Madden's 10 for USO, extended a consecutive free throw streak to 33 by making his lone at- tempt. Guard Craig Cottrell's six points was tops among the scoring by the Torero reserves. Steve Pohlman and Bob Burden, both 6-4 forwards, topped Ohio Northern's scoring with six points each.

The Un~ot..£an_Diego 54-28 basketball victory over Obio North- ern last night at the USO Sports Cen- ter, was, as the score would indicate, a mismatch. But it served its purpose. "We beat this team by a lot of points, but they made us work hard for them," said USO coach Hank Egan. "If they had more size and speed, they would have been ex- tremely tough. They're a fundamen- tally sound, well-coached team and, If you've got some weaknesses, they'll show you where they are." The visitin Pola Bears an NCAA Division sc oo rom da, Ohio, are coached by Gale Daugherty, a long-time acquaintance of Egan's dating back to years when Daugherty was a Bobby Knight assistant at Army and Egan was an Air Force Academy assistant. Ohio Northern. Daugherty said, makes it a practice to play one Divi- sion I school a year and "fly once every three or four years." "I've got a couple kids on my team who had never been in an airplane before or been west of the Mississip- pi," he said. "This is a real education- al experience for them and coming out here is a big thing and good re- cruiting tool for a non-scholarship program. "We couldn't have beaten this (USO) team with clubs. But our guys played hard." Defensively, Ohio Northern (7-6) battled admirably against a bigger USD team, but had no means of stop- ping the Toreros' front line of 7-0 Scott Thompson, 6-8 Nils Madden or 6-6 Mark Manor. Thompson and Madden accounted for USD's first 11 points, just one less than Ohio Northern managed in the first hall. The Toreros (9-3) big men
