Toreros Top Pomona ·By 2 On Jones' Tip-In Willie Brigham looked around the University of San Diego gym before last night's game between. Cal Poly- Pomona and the Toreros, spotted a few familiar faces and commented "I remember those guys" - refe~nng to USD's Mike Stockalper (Marian High), Rusty Whitmarsh (Monte Vista) and Bob Bartholomew (Kearny).

Torero Assessment Proves Correct On Forward Jones By AILENE VOISIN Stoff Writer, The SGn Diego Union "Bobby's big and strong, but not real quick," explained Jones, "and I'm the small forward who's quick but not all that strong. We complement each other very well." blacks on the USD roster. "The school's small, much smaller even than Pima. It took a while to get used to that. But people are people.

When he graduated from Rincon High in Tucson, Ariz., Gerald Jones says he was a 6-3 youngster who "couldn't dribble, couldn't shoot very well and had only one year of playing experience." Since the college recruiters didn't exactly knock down his door, Jones enrolled at nearby Pima Junior College, and learned how to dribble. And shoot. And how to utilize his experience on the court. But two years later, Jones, by then 6-6, still didn't have recruit- ers knocking down his door. Except for one - University of San Diego Assistant Coach John Cosentino. "He was the most aggressive," recalls Jones, a starting forward for the Toreros. "He was always calling and sending me stuff. He didn't push, but I always had USO in the back of my mind." Fortunately, he might have added, for the Toreros, because after he had committed to USO, other schools caught on. Jones subse- quently received scholarship offers from Gonzaga, New Mexico State and San Jose State, among others. Since arriving at USO last fall, Jones has proven to be the best athlete on the team, and one of the most talented. Among his accomplishments: - He leads the West Coast Athletic Conference in blocked shots with 13, He is averaging 11.1 points and five rebounds per game. - He leads the Toreros, now 7-4 for the season, in slam dunks - several of which had direct affects on the outcome of games. • More importantly, Jones combines with Bob Bartholomew (6-7) to give USO a strong blend at the forward positions.

"My main thoughts right now are on basketball and school. My goal is for us to finish among the top three in the league (West Coast Athletic Conference) this year, and win it the next. And school . . . well,.when I left Tucson, my uncles told me 'get a degree or a pro contract or don't come home.' I try to keep that in mind."

Offers Cosentino: "Gerald's a mixture of a finesse power-for- ward, if there is such a thing. He's an excellent rebounder, has very good hands, and great timing. He's the best athlete we have." Then why the lack of recognition? "Everyone can see the blue-chippers," said Cosentino, "but talented players like Gerald are harder to spot. I saw him play as a freshman (at Pima) and didn't think he was a great player. But On The College Front every time I saw him, he got better and better. And he's going to Qe a lot better than he is now." Jones agrees, adding that the two areas he is most concerned with are rebounding and shooting. "I used to be a very good rebounder. That was my role at Pima.. But I feel I've been inconsistent this year. Improving his shooting percentage is the more difficult task. Before practices. he says, Coach Jim Brovelli counsels him, urging him to jump straight up instead of fading away and shooting off balance. But the biggest adjustment for Jones has nothing to do with basketballs or academic pressures. "There aren't too many blacks here," said Jones, one of two

USO NOTES - Assistant Coach Gus Magee holds the Chargers partially responsible for the Toreros lackluster performance against Cal Poly Pomona Saturday night. "Stock (Mikl Stock- alper), Bobby (Bartholomew) aild the other guys came into the locker room like they were in a daze," he said, shaking his head. "The_y were emotionally spent after watching the game (Chargers- Buffalo Bills). But then, so was I." ... Former San Diego High star Willie Brigham, who transferred to Pomona after two seasons at USC, on the adjustment to college life: "I found out that although you_ were a superstar i~ high school, there's no guarantee you will be m college. Percy (high school teammate Percy Gilbert) and I both hoped_ things would work out like that, but they didn't. It took me about five years to even get a starting position." ... Brigham's family filled half l! sea10n L6leacbers for he game at USO .~, . Bartholome~ leads th~ teain in shootliig percentage (61 percent) and rebounding (8.4 per game). Stockalper is close behind at 56 percent.
