USD Rally Falls Short As Loyo.la Wins Visiting Toreros Close To Within One Point, But Eventually Lose 1't The Fout Line 72-69

LOS ANGELES TIMES l l

SENTINEL

Torer After a timeout, Brovelli instructed h1S' play- ers to foul Loyola's Scott Pritchett - who had two previous misses al the foul line. But the Toroeros couldn't catch Pritchett. Instead, McCloskey was fouled, and he made both free throws to finish the night a perfect 10- for-10 from the line. "He's just a great shooter," said Loyola Coach Ed Goorjian, "and •ome of his drives during the late stages got us back into it. We've been trying to get him to drive the lane more often because he has a tend- ency to rely too much on his outside shots." The one thing Goorjian tries to avoid is aligning McCloskey with the oppos- ing team's better offensive players. "Actually, wherever we move him, we're in trou- ble," laughed Goorjian. "You saw what happened when we put him on Bartho- lomew. We didn't have a choice because our big guys, Art Claybion and Mike Antoine, were in foul trouble. "I'll tell you, I think the key was when Bartholomew checked in. The minute that happened, it turned the game around for USD.'' There were other differ- ences between USD's effort last night and the previous two, The Toreros shot 51 percent from the field and a respectable 75 percent from the line. Guard Rusty Whit- marsh found his touch from outside, scoring 12 points on 6 of from the field and with Bartholomew active again, the Toreros can move Heppell outside,

point lead with 15 minutes to go and was doing a good job containing McCloskey and his teammates. Three times during the final stretch, however, McCloskey returned the lead to the Lions. After USD's Brad Levesque scored to tie it al 62 with six minutes left, McCloskey an- swered to put the Lions in front for good. Still, the Toreros had op- portunities. But Heppell missed a free throw that would have tied it at 64. His 15-foot jump shot with 39 seconds left nar- rowed Loyola's lead to 70- 69, but the next play an- other miscue - ruined the

USD erased an early 10-point Loyola lead (16-6) and closed within 37-34 at halftime. But even Bartholomew's presence wasn't enough to offset a brilliant perform- ance by Loyola's Jim McCloskey. The 6-foot-6 for- ward, who transferred from USC two years ago, scored 34 points. And it was McCloskey's key baskets in the second half that made the difference. USD had taken a five-

The loss evens USD's record to 7-7. Loyola is 6-10. Despite the loss, Brovelli was encouraged with the play of center Dave Hep- pell, who scored a season- high 23 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, and the return of starting forward Bob Bartholomew, who missed the previous two games with torn ankle liga- ments. He was listed as

First it was UC-Irvine, a team that defeated the Toreros 108-62. Then it was Pepper- dine in Friday night's West Coast Athletic Conference o~er. USD also lost that one convincingly, 83-50.

Extension 210 Church names its All-Bible football team The All-Pro, All-American and All-Conference football teams already have been selected for the recently concluded season. A new twist has been added to this all-star madness by Christ Lutheran Church in Pacific Beach, which took time to name its All-Bible football team. The squad is led by Solomon, who was named quarterback. Who else would be better qualified to call signals than the man generally recognized as the wisest in history? He barely beat out David, who v; as regarded as a better thrower. David did learn the left halfback spot, however, because of his leadership ability. strength anp courage. He also poses a double threat as he is a candidate to throw passes on the option play. The right halfback is Judas who was as two-faced as anybody and had the ability to fool the opposition. John the Baptist, whose aggressive per- sonality moved him frequently through hostile urroundings, is the fullback. The ends are Paul and Anak. Paul covered a great deal of territory as the greatest missionary in the ·ew Testament, while Anak, notsowellknown, was a giant who proved difficult to defend against. Goliath, a mountain of a man at 10-foot-6, and Sampson, the strongest man in the Bible, occupy the tackle positions. Anyone who could push down the pillars of a temple should be able to pass block as long as the coach has no rules about long hair. The guards are Moses and Jonathan Moses, who after leading the Israelities out of Egypt by partmg the Red Sea, ought to te able to pull out vf the line and lead interferenc.e. Jonathan is a • swapping warrior endowed with a great team spirit, particularly in games against the Philadelphia Philistines. Solomon will take snaps from Peter, the center on the team . He is said to be a center of strength who Jesus himself praised by saying "on this rock" he would build his church. Clearly an awesome football team. SIDELi. 'ED TORERO.....

Bartholomew tore ligaments in his left ankle last week in practice. Coach Jim Brovelli would have to consider the mishap bad timing as USD opened West Coast Athletic Conference play this weekend in Los Angeles. Bartholomew is averaging 14.6 points and eight rebounds a game. The forward out of Kearny High did not (See EXTENSION 210, A·Bl
