Aztecs, Toreros face road games tonight San Diego State takes on the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in Las Vegas and University of San Diego travels to University of San Francisco in the two big games involving four area colleges tonight. In another pair, Point Loma College entertains Azusa Pacific and UCSD is at home to Southern California College. The Aztecs, for one of the few times in their history against the Running Rebels, will go into tonight's game (7:30, KFMB radio) with the better record - 11-10 against UNLV's 11-11 that has been a distinct disappointment to Coach Jerry Tarkanian. '·For some reason, Nevada-Las Vegas has been like us this year - up and down," said Aztec Coach Dave Gaines, "but we know what they can do. I thought we had them beaten when we played them last month, but they played perfect basketball at the end." The Aztecs continue their trip with a game tomorrow night against Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. The meeting with the USF Dons will be the third straight road game for the USD Toreros, who'll go in with a 9-12 record and a 2-7 West Coast Athletic Conference mark. The Dons are 19-5 overall and, at 7-2, share the WCAC lead with Pepperdine. In an early game, USD lost to USF 67-64 in San Diego. USD moves on to Moraga tomorrow night for another conference game against St. Mary's. College Basketball

"Australian ten01s is stagnated There's no mg there for me anymore. hat doesn't mean there aren't good players. but America is where it's all happening. "Every match here is a tough one. In Australia, it's like getting a bye into the semis before you start play- rng. Here every match is like the semis or the finals. The thing about American players, they're mentally tough. That's the differ- ence." While acknowledging that "it's hard leaving your fam- ily," Wood said he was en- couraged in his move by his parents, both of whom have a tennis background. "My dads a professor at the university · you call ii profes or; we call 1t lectur- er and a part-time tennis coach. My mum's a tennis coach, too. My dad was among the best players in the state of Victoria Mum was not the best but pretty good .. not top 10 but.top 50 or o. "She thought it was a good way to et yourself up, get prepared, get mentally tough, before going into the pro circuit," he explained, regarding his migration to the United States. "You don't want to rush in before you're ready. The pro cir- cuit's very tough. It can break you down. Thi~ is sort of a stepping stone." Wood has been here since Feb. 1 and probably ·ill not see his family again until

He was so bewildered yesterday, he only scored one of the biggest upsets on the opening day of the eighth annual San Diego In- tercollegiate Invitational Tennis Tournament at USO, which matches the players of 16 teams in six different tourneys. All No. 1 players are in one tournament, No. 2s in another, No. 3s ID a third and on down the line to the No. 6s. After defeating Joe Hunt of Redlands 6-4, 7-6, Wood eliminated Pepperdme's Clive Edges, second seeded among the No. 4s, 6-3, 6-4 to advance into today's semifi- nals in the division.

The University of San Diego was one of those four or five, and Wood accepted Coach Ed Collins' offer with alacrity. "USO has a good sched- ule, a good scholarship, a good academic program, good weather and a good coach. and Califorma 1s the hotbed of tennis " Wood wanted out of Aus- tralia because Aussie ten- nis, which once dominated the world, has deteriorated with the advent of multimil- lion-dollar pro tournaments in the United States.

who ha been bothered by bad ankles, played less than half the game, and was 0 for 8 from the floor. Guard Rusty Whitmarsh, the Toreros' second leading scorer (10.4), finished with eight points, but played tentatively all eve- ning. Afterward, Brovelli revealed that Whitmarsh was a questionable starter be- cause of the flu. Still, USO played well. Brad Levesque came off the bench to score eight. Gerald Jones was 6-for-8 for 12 points and contrib- uted seven rebounds. And Dave Heppell scored 16-most running hook shots down the lane. ''Overall," offered Brovelli, "I thought we played well. But without Bobby (Bar- tholomew) healthy, Wallace Bryant (USF's 7-foot center) killed us on the boards. They stacked us inside a little more this time." In the early season meeting between the teams in San Diego, Bartholomew, Jones and Heppell effectively shut down USF's big men inside. Last night, Bryant scored 19 and had 11 rebounds. But it was Dailey, thought Brovelli, and his key baskets in the second half that turned the momentum to USF's favor. 'He's just a GREAT player," said Brovel- li, shaking his head, "and he had a great night." The Toreros stayed with the Dons throughout the first half, frequently con- trolling the tempo, and working for the high percentage shot offensively. Even after USF took a 10-point lead with 2:59 remaining before intermission, USO came back, and pulled to 29-25 at halftime.

SAN FRANCISCO - Every few games or so, the University of San Diego Toreros run across a player who reminds them or how far they've come-and how far they have to go. Last night, ·it was Quintin Dai- ley's turn. The University of San Francisco's sopho- more guard scored 24 points, shot 10 of 17 from the field and hit some timely baskets early in the second half to lead USF to a 67- 58 victory. The victory improves USF's record to 20· 5 overall, and 8-2 in the West Coast Athletic Conference. More importantly, it gives the Dons sole possession of first place. USD fell to 9-13 overall and 2-8 in the WCAC. USF Coach Pete Barry wasn't particu- larly impressed with the triumph. "We certainly didn't dazzle them, did we?" he asked. "But we just went out and earned a win. · He had more to say about Dailey, the 6- foot-3 all-around guard from Baltimore. "Quintin is the most consistent guard in the country," he said, "And all the credit he gets is deserved. Every game, more and more people are getting on the bandwagon. "I don't exactly know what it is. But he's got a court presence ... great court sense." Dailey, who leads the WCAC in scoring with 25.7 points per game, wasn't the only reason USF, which hosts archrival Santa Clara tonight. came away with the victory. USD's Bob Bartholomew, the team's leadjng scorer and rebounder, was held to no-that's 0-points. The 6-foot-8 forward,
