Aztec cagers open season vs. USO in Sports Arena

The San Diego State University basketball team makes its regular season home debut tonight in the Sports Arena at 7:30 when cross-town rival University of San Diego pays a visit. Already showing marked improvement over last y~ar's_ squad which finished 6-21, the Aztecs have two victories under their belts following an exhibition win over the tourrng Bankstown Bruins from Australia 119-70, and more importantly a regular season 67-57 wi~ over the University of California-Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara last Friday. The win on the road for the Aztecs was their first away from home since the 1978-79 campaign. SDSU was wrnless away from San Diego last season. The Toreros also played the Australian team and won, 110-78, indicating the Aztecs and USO will proba- bly duplica_te t_he game they played last year when the Aztecs rallied m the second half to win, 67-58. Following th_at l?ss ~SD fell prey to the injury jinx, and combined with Jomrng the West Coast Athletic Conference and

participating on the Division I level for the first time saw its record plunge to &-19 on the year and 2-14 i~ W~AC ~ompetition against such teams as Pepperdine, Umvers1ty of San Francisco, and St. Mary's. Against the Australian team USO placed five men in double figures indicating balance is the key to the Toreros. Guards Mike Stockalper, (20 points) and former Monte Vista standout Rusty Whitmarsh (16 pomts) lead the scoring while forward Bob Bartholomew, a &-foot-7, 225-pounder (12 points, 18 rebounds) and center David Heppell, 6-8, 220 (14 points, 10 rebounds provid~d scoring and rebounding punch. The Aztecs will counter with former San Diego City College star Zack Jones (6-5, 210) and Mark Smith at guards, forwards Eddy Gordon (6-6, 210, and freshman Michael Cage (&-9, 210) and Drew Head (&-10, 225) at center. Thursday the Aztecs will play Idaho State University at 7:30 p.m. on campus in Peterson Gym. - Gareth Dodd

THE SAN DIEGO UNION

Aztecs, USO Battle For City Cage Supremacy Tonight By BILL FINLEY Slaff Writer, The Son Diego Union to win a game that will be seen by arounl 3,500 fans and broadcast live by radio sta- tion KFMB. Arena. ~oth played their home games there a year ago but San Diego State has six new players and the Toreros have eight. bounding. State is very physical; if we can't stay with them on the boards we'll have problems.''

San Diego State, 1-0 after scoring a 10- point victory over UC-Santa Barbara Fri- day night, has won nine of the 14 previous meetings but - more times than not - the Aztecs and Toreros have provided high drama in the closing moments. A year ago, for example, USD might have won with a free throw late in the second half. Earl Pierce missed it and the Aztecs eventually won the game in overtime. Tonight's game will serve as the season- opener for the Toreros and Brovelli, for , one, is anxious to begin. "I wish we had a game under our belt like State does but we'll be all right," the USO coach submitted. "I feel good about these guys. They've had a good six weeks of practice, we all feel pretty good about our chances this season, and I'm sure we're all ready to get it going." It will be interesting to see which club feels more comfortable in the Sports

The Aztecs finished 6-21 last season but Brovelli is convinced they have improved t~emselves rather dramatically with the addition of Jones and Cage. "Zack is the stabilizing force they needed all last year, he really settles them down," the USD coach judged. "Cage is young but there isn't much question he's going to be somethmg by the end of the year." USO. which lost seven players due to ac- ademic problems and injuries through the course of the season, was 6-19 last year. "We're better, a lot better," Brovelli ~aid. "We'll have to feel our way along for awhile - we've got eight new people and it will take awhile to find all the right combi- nations but we're gomg to get.better and better as we go along," At stake tonight will be the Mayor"s Per- petual Trophy. As the defending city cham- pion, Gaines will have it in his clutches at a special game-day luncheon today at 1

Yesterday these 14 exercised for the first time upon the floor which parallels Sports Arena Blvd. The Aztecs will open with the same line- up they employed in Santa Barbara. Mi- chael Cage (6-9) and Eddy Gordon (6-6) will be the forwards, Drew Head (6-10) the cen- ter with Zack Jones (6-5) and Mark Smith (6-1) at guard. Against them USO will send forwards Bob Bartholomew (6-7) and Brad Levesque (6-7), center Dave Heppell (6-8) and guards Rusty Whitmarsh (6-3) and Mike Stockalper (6-0). Brovelli, who scouted the Aztecs Friday night, has two maJOr concerns. "They're quicker than we are so we an- ticipate they'll press," he said. "Rusty and Mike are experienced guards, we think they should be okay, but we'll have to be conscious of getting the ball safely up the floor. The other concern we have is re-

LOS ANGELES TIMES

An inviting place, San Diego. There is sun, and surf, and Sea World. America's Finest City, they call it, and San Diego proved especially attractive last winter for visiting basketball players. Between them the city·s two m;iior teams - San Diego State and USO - had records totaling 12-40. The Aztecs finished last in the WAC, the Toreros last in the WCAC. "We did everything but roll out a red carpet for 'em," Aztec Coach Dave Gaines recalls, but both Gaines and USD Coach Jim Brovelli agreed yesterday it will be easier to follow the bouncing ball in the months ahead. Both suspect their sides are greatly im- proved and they will be trying to illustrate 1 how far they have come tonight in the Sports Arena. There, at 7:30, San Diego State will re- sume its crosstown series with USO and the Aztecs are considered slight favorites
