But a win wasn't all the Toreros wanted. While they didn't get the win, losing to the University of San Francisco, 67-64, they did gain re- spect.

Toreros in quest of 'perfect game' Jim Brovelli doesn't use the word often, ,but when he looks at the University of San Francisco s basketball team he can't think of another to use. . "Awesome," said the University of Sa~ Diego c~ach. Coaches will use that term, but there is no denying t~at the Dons are very good. Included among thei'. 12 wms is a victory Jan. 13 over Notre Dame. Among their fo~r losses is an 80-75 loss to Notre Dame Wednesday mght m South Bend, Ind., a game m which the men from the Bay Area were leading by a pomt with 30 seconds_ to p'.ay. And last night the Dons were upset by the Umvers1ty of Santa Clara 70-63, their fourth loss of the season. " . "They are very big and they have great talent, said Brovelli, whose Toreros will host ~he Don~ m a West Coast Athletlc Conference game tomght at 7 . 3 o. , "They start Wallace Bryant at center and hes_ 7 feet and at least 280. He's just a monster. Bart Bowers is a 6-9 forward and their other forward , John Hegwood, is only 6- 5 but he's a great jumper and score~ "At guard they start Quentin Da_1ly. He's onlr a sopho- more but he can play in the NBA nght now: Hes ~he best guard in the conference. Ken McAb~t::r is ~helT oth~r guard and he's 6-5 . . . a great ;;\1ysical specimen. He II probably play in the NFJ i-te was an All-American fool· ball player in high school." . . SD Th All of this doesn't sound very prom1smg for U . . e Toreros aren't very tall and they aren't very. qmck. In compiling an 8-7 record they have proved _a patient, tenad cious bunch, but Brovelli doesn't know if patience an tenacity is enough to beat the Dons. . . In other action tonight, the University of Cabforma at San Diego travels to Fresno Pacific for a game at 7:30. Last night the Point Loma College Crusa~ers were soundly thra~hed by a touring Biola tea!1178-38 m a game that found Eagles leading 29-13 at halftime. "For us to win," Brovelli said, "we'll probablr have to la a perfect game. Much of our game is predicated on ~etiing the ball down low to our forw_ards (Bob_Bartholo- mew and Gerald Jones) and USF demes that with a trap· zone defense. t d not "We're going to have to take the shots we wan an_ . the shots they want us to take.

USO: Toreros Lose, 67--64 Continued from Flnt Page

15-4 overall, 3 1 in the WCAC and the likely favorite to win the con• ference. When USF needed the key play Saturday, it usually came through. The Dons hit 16-of-24 shots the first half, a 67% average. They end- ed the game with a 25-of-48 mark for52%. But USD also proved to be a red- hot team. The Toreros hit 30 of 45 shots from the field, finishing with a season high 67% mark. The difference was spelled in turnovers and rebounds. USD had four more turnovers (11-7) and four fewer rebounds (24-20). "In no way do I want us to feel a moral victory," Brovelli said, "We played well but we lost. If we con- tinue to play well, we'll be a factor in the conference." USD, playing before a crowd of 1,800, was a factor until the final mmute against the traditional powerhouse from San Francisco. Chance to Tle Evaporates The Toreros seemingly were in the game with two minutes left when Mike Stockalper's basket cut their deficit to 61-58. USF then missed a shot the next time down the floor, the rebound going to Ger- ald Jones of San Diego. After setting their offense well, the Toreros got the ball to open Rusty Whitmarsh. But his 15-foot shot didn't fall, with the rebound going to USF's Crosetti Speight. With all the attention under the USD basket, Eric Slaymaker of the Dons went to the other end of the court. He was all alone to take the pass from Speight and score a layup that gave the Dons an insurmounta- ble 63-58 lead with 37 seconds left. If ever there was a good time for the Toreros to beat USF, Saturday was it. The Dons had lost Wednes- day to Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., and had lost Friday at Santa Clara. They were a road-weary team. "They were ripe for an upset," USD forward Bob Bartholomew said. "We played well against them. 1 1 We just made a few too many mis- takes." A mistake the Toreros may not · have made cost them dearly. They lost starting center Dave Heppell with 7:27 remaining on a very ques• tionable charging call that resulted : in Heppell's fifth foul. Before being forced to retire, Heppell had an outstanding night. Shooting primarily from the 20-foot area against the taller USF team, he hit 8 of 11 field-goal attempts and finished with 16 points. Despite USF's hot first half, the Toreros had been able to come out of the first 20 minutes in respectable position. They trailed at the half, 40-32, after USF scored the final two baskets. Bartholomew was a key man ear- ly in the second half, hitting two quick baskets to bring the Toreros within four points. But the closest they could ever get in the second half was 49-48 on Heppell's 22- footer with 12:11 to play. Again, Bartholomew's presence made a key difference. He finished with a team-high 20 points and tied Jones for the team lead with four rebounds. Quintin Dailey was the , top shooter for USF, scoring 21 points. With home games this week I against Portland and Gonzaga, USD is 8-8 overall and 1-3 in the WOAC. It's a vast improvement over last 1 year's 6-19 record.

uso·s starting five is much smaller than its foes. T e Toreros will start center Dave Heppell (6-8), _for~tis \ Bartholomew (6-7) and Jones (6-5) and guards Mike oc - 1 alper (6-0) and Rusty Whitmarsh (6-3).

He hit another one a few minutes later, this time over 6-7 Brad Levesque, and USF was back in front by five (57-52). Still, even without Heppell, who kept the mid- dle open for Bartholomew and Gerald Jones most of the night with his outside shots, the Toreros had their chances. After Bartholomew intercepted a pass with 3:20 left, USO was unable to get off a high per- centage shot. and ran an entire minute off the clock The Toreros finally scored on Mike Stockalper's 18-footer to make it 61·58 with 2:02 to go. On USD's next possession, however, Rusty Whitmarsh missed from outside, and USF's Eric Slaymaker scored on a breakaway layup to give the Dons another five-point advantage, 63-58. Four free throws by Quintin Dailey, the gal}le's leading scorer with 21 points, sealed the win f rt.he Dons, now 14-4 overall and 3-1 in the league. Afterward, a question about Heppell's set shots - most from 20-25 feet - elicited one of few humorous responses from Brovelli: "That's his version of a jump shot. You can stick a dime

He finished with 16 points. Bartholomew was 10-for-13 for 20 points, and Jones five of seven for 12. USO shot 67 percent overall - 73 in the second half - to USF's 52 percent. After a good shooting first half (67 percent), the Dons slipped to 38 percent. But it was Heppell's ability to hit from out- side that proved crucial, giving Bartholomew and Jones plenty of room inside against the taller Dons. In the early minutes of the game, USD's for- wards scored layups almost at will, inducing USF's Coach Pete Barry to go with a lineup consisting of Bryant, Harris and 6-8 Bart Bowers for much of the night. "I don't think their big guys hurt us so bad," said Bartholomew. "But their guards, Dailey and McAlister (Ken) were great. "And we hurt ourselves. A few mistakes, a few turnovers . . . I made a few bad passes trying to force it inside there in the end. I got a little too excited." USD hosts two more WCAC teams next week, Portland on Thursday and Gonzaga Saturday.

Take away a few turnovers, some missed op- portunities, and Dave Heppell's fifth foul with nine minutes remaining. and the University of San Diego might have won last night's contest with USF. Instead the Toreros lost a close one, 67-64, before 1,800 fans in Alcala Park. "A couple of breaks and, well, we had our chances," lamented USO Coach Jim Brovelli afterward. "I told the kids they played well, but I don't want them feeling this is a moral victo- ry. I don't believe in moral victories.'' USD, now 8-8 overall and 1-2 in the West Coast Athletic Conference, was within reach of a real victory throughout. The Toreros led sev- eral times in the first half, lost the lead to trail 40-32 at halftime, then pulled within a point (49- 48) with 12:15 remaining. But, at this point, the breaks Brovelli re- ferred to_hegan going the other way. Rogue Harris, USF's reserve 7-2 center, rec placed 7-0 Wallace Bryant, and bit two baskets over USD's 6-8 Bob Bartholomew.
