• The summary. To be !Ilore than "respectable" in l981- 8J, the Toreros have to improve in some key areas, r._ame- ly, perimeter shoot:ng, quickness and overall athletic abili- ty. Of the returners, Whitmarsh and Jones are legitimate starters, anrl Heppell i.s solid, thougb not a domin~nt, cen- ter. But Brovelli needs a playmaker to replace S'.ockalper, a shooting forward or swingman to complement Jones, and a power forward to compensate for the loss of Rartholo- mew. And if, by some incredible stroke of fortune, USO can recruit a big man . . . well, then it's a whole new ballgame.

Ev~ry autumn, members of the University of San Diego ~oachmg staff crowd into the basketball office, each clasp- mg a schedule and an envelope, to predict Torero wins and losses. . The enve_lop_es are opened the following March. at which lime the wmnmg party 1s awarded a dinner, compliments of the losers. This year's dinner belongs to Jim Brovelli, the head coach.

JAM ·S SOTIROS has been named director of corporate and foundation relations, a nc"' position, at the Umver- ,1ty of . an Diego Prcviou,ly, So11ro wa campaign division director for the United Way of San Diego ounty.

"I predicted 10 wins," he said, noting the Toreros' 10-16 record. "Of course, it would have been nice to win a few more. But our goal at the beginning was to be respectable in the conference (West Coast Ath- letic), and I think we have been. ''On the other hand, I'm disap- !)Ointed because we were in a posi- tion to win five or six close games and didn't."

I Tax Shelters Are Discussed At Workshop SAN DIEGO- "Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About T~x Shelters But Were Afraid to Ask" will be the topic in the filth of the Un· iversity of San Diego's Update breakfast seminars lrom 7:30 to9 a.m. Friday at the Executive Hotel. The speaker will be Dr. James Daniels, US associate p es r o unt· ng. . Update is a series of seminar_s designed for women and men in busi- ness and sponsored by USD's Sch

t\/ENING TRIBUNI:

• The close games. The first one was at Cal (60-56), at a time when USO was 6-3. The Toreros would lose several others in the final two minutes, including 72-69 to Loyola-Marymount, 67-64 to USF, 64-60 to Santa Clara, 64-63 to Pepper-line. But the worst _defeat was at St. Mary's (70-69), a game USD led_ 69-65 with :08 remaming. As guard Mike Stock- alper said afterward, "There was only one way we could lose, and we did." Two Gael free throws a three-point play, and it was over. ' • The routs. There were two of these, the first a 108-62 setback at UC Irvine, the second a conference-opening 83- 50 loss against Pepperdine at Malibu. "Irvine have beaten anyone the way they played that mght, said Brovelli. But of the Pepperdine defeat. "There is no excuse for this." ot even, be added, the absence of mjured startmg forward Bob Bartholomew. The players. Bartholomew and Stockalper, both semors, were Honorable Mention AII-WCAC selections. The 6-8 Bartholomew led USD in scoring (13.7) and re- bounding (6.7), although torn ligaments hampered him dur- ing the last half of the season. StocKalper, USD's playmaker the past four years, over- came a midseason slump and played well the rest of the way. He was at his best in the loss at St. Mary's, scoring 24 points, and converting what appeared to be game-winning free throws. Although Stockalper was the one cited by the WCAC coaches, off-guard Rusty Whitmarsh might have been the better choice. The 6-3 junior shot 57 percent, averaged 11.0 points, and was outstanding defensively. It was Whitmarsh who defended the Quintin Daileys (USF), Boot Bonds (Pep- perdine), David Vanos (St. Mary's). And it was Whitmarsh 1 whose outside shooting almost pulled out the games at Loyola, and against Portland and USF at home. The remaining starters, forward Gerald Jones and cen- ter David Heppell, were inconsistent the first part of the season, but improved during the conference. Jones, a 6-6 leaper whose "specials" (slam dunks off a lob) frequently caught the opponents by surprise, provided USD with its only real quickness. He averaged 11.2 points and 4.8 re- bounds. Heppell, the player Brovelli says is the smartest he's ever coached, finished with comparable figures (10.1, 5.2). The 6-8 junior has a very effective though unorthodox hook shot, and a deadly set shot from 20-feet and beyond. He's best when facing the basket - something USD had him doing the latter part of the season. Then there was Brad Levesque, who became the sixth- man after losing his starting position to Jones early in the season. Levesque's statistics - 3.1 points, 2.5 rebounds - are misleading. He's a better rebounder than that, and his physical play inside was essential when Bartholomew was I out of the lineup. • The statistics. USD's field goal percentage reflects Brovelli's preference for a deliberate, pattern offense, and I a strong inside game. All five starters, led by Whitmarsh, shot over 50 percent - Jones 56.2, Heppell 52.6, Bartholo- l mew 52.1 and Stockalper 51.5. If the league kept count of layups, USD would be near the top. I Other collective stats: USD was last in offense (66.7 points), in free throws (74.6 percent) and in rebounds (30.3), I and second in team defense (51.1). Individually, Bartholomew was the only Torero to rank among the league's leading scorers (13th) and rebounders (9th); Stockalper (86.4) and Whitmarsh (81.8) were first and sixth, respectively, in free throw percentage; Stockalper , was also fourth in assists (3.9).
