stole the ball in the USO backcourt but missed a slam at the other end that would have cut the Torero margin at the time to 35-33 Instead. USO came back to score five consecutive points and take charge of the game the rest of the way. Centenary was a loser yesterday - bow- mg to U.S. International University 85-74 at Mira Mesa High's gym. The Gulls got a 19-point scoring effort from Mark Bryant, while Charles Smith added '7 and Don Robinson 16. But it was Robinson's work on the boards and a spark- ling defensive job by John Greer on the Centenarv's Cherokee Rhone which were. perhaps, the biggest factors.

The University of San Diego, fresh from a mo t-important victory over Northern Arizona University last mght, takes on what appears an easier assignment at 7·30 tonight in battling Centenary College in the Torero gym. The Toreros' 75-52 conquest of Northern Arizona last night marked the first lime . Ince 1977 that an area university had man- aged that feat - and came as forwards Bob Bartholomew and Gerald Jones con- tinued their parkhng lay. Each had 17 points, with Bartholomew collecting seven rebound and Jones four in all-around per- formances. The game's crucial play came with 12:26 remaining when :'\AU guard Dinky Jones

Rhone was held to seven points in the first half, mainly a result of Levesque's defense. He forced ' the Chief' to play high post instead of down low. . In the second half, however, no one could contain Rhone, who averages 20 points a game. With their center scoring effectively underneath, and Jackson hitting some key shots before departing, the Gents began to pull away. They led by 12 (56-44) with 10:58 remaining. The Toreros closed to within eight points, and made a • brief run at 2:27 on two baskets by Jones. They travel to Stanford Saturday night and UC Berkeley on Monday.

Cherokee Rhone the fellow they call "the Chief' at Centenary College \n Shreveport, La., describes himself as an "inside player." "That's my role," he said, "just like it's "".illie Jackson's role to be the outside player. When we put 1t together, we do all right." . . They did just fine last night against _the Umvers1ty of San Diego. With Rhone scoring 23 pomts,_ and Jackson ontributing four key baskets before leavmg the game early in the second half with a sprained knee, the Gents pulled away from USO and went on to claim a 79-71 win at Alcala Park. The Gents (6-4) were wary of the Toreros. They_ had been shocked the previous afternoon by U.S. International University - an opponent Centenary Coach Tommy Canterbury admits he simply underestimated. But against USD, a bigger, more physical club than the Gulls, Centenary utilized its speed, talent and, of course, the big guy in the middle. "Boy, they played hard," Canterbury said of the Toreros afterward. "We're just blessed with a little more talent and quickness. I think that caught up with USD (5-3) m the end there." Canterbury's plan was simple: cont ol the tempo so USO doesn't And the Gents did, after the first seven minutes of the game. . " . "I thought we were playing very well for a while, said USO Coach Jim Brovelli, "but we lost the tempo. I thought we looked tired. Four games m five days might have had something to do with that" _ . . The Toreros held a 4-7 point lead until that point, with Bob Bartholomew, Gerald Jones, and Brad Levesque scoring well inside. The Gents, meanwhile, were unable to get the ball in Rhone, and their outside shots weren't
