l A ~'f; 14 Part III/Friday, December S, 1980/J * Stockalper Leads USD to 74-57 Rout By STEVE DOLAN, Times Staff Writer SAN DIEGO-As the point guard for the University of San Diego. Mike Stockalper is given the responsibility of running the offense. Stockalper added to the role Thursday night, doing a majority of the scoring, and setting others up. The se- nior from Marian High had a game-high 25 points and a team-high five assists, to lead USD to a 74-57 rout of UC Santa Barbara. 0 He did a great job as a quarterback and leader," coach Jim Broveilli said of Stockalper. "He had patience to take what they gave him."A lot of it came sneaking in on them." The Toreros certainly didn't sneak up on Santa Bar- bara. leading from the start. The closest the visitors could ever get was 17-16 deficit eight and a half minutes into the game. Forward Bob Bartholomew was a key reason USD was ne~er threatened. scoring 16 points and grabbing a team-high seven rebounds. It was a quick recovery for Bartholomew, who made just four of 17 shots from the field in an opening 60-52 loss Tuesday to San Diego State. Gerald Jones, a junior college transfer from Tucson Arizona, contributed 10 points. His third slam dunk of the second half gave USO a 56-41 lead with 8:17 re- maining. killing any comeback hopes for Santa Barbara. The Toreros were e.specially effective from the field. hitting 32 of 53 shots for a 60% ratio. SantaBarbara shot 41 %, making 26 of 63 attempts. "I'm overwhelmed and happy because we showed credibility on this level," Brovelli said of his Division I team. "One game won't make us on this level. It gives us confidence we are here."

- ALLERGIC TO NON-VIOLENCE? DIETMAY BE FACTOR IN CRIME By DARLA WELLES TRIBUNE Med,col Writer Is it possible that certain food allergies can result in violent behavior? Quite possible, according to Dr. Bernard Rimland. psycholo ist, researcher and director of the Institute for Child Behavior gRe• search here. Rimland_ was among. a half:dozen expert witnesses testifying about nutnllonal and b1ochem1cal influences on violent behavior before the Cahforma Commission on Crime Control and Violence Prevent10n yesterday_at the University of San Diego. R1mland, a specialist in children's behavioral problems advo• cates the _theory of orthomolecular therapy, which holds that im• bal~nces in the brain caused by insufficient nutrients or excess toxins - alcohol, drugs, dangerous chemicals from the environ• ment, or foods to which a person is allergic - can cause beha• v1oral disturbances. He estim_ated that as. many as 60 percent of people sufferin from a ~anety of affhct10ns - ranging from migraine headache~ to learning disorders to outbursts of violence - may have prob• lems that can be traced to allergic reactions to foods or exposure to environmental pollutants. He further suggested_ tha_t many of those disorders can be allevi• ated_ or cured by ehminatmg the toxins or supplying the needed nutnents to :estore the body's natural, healthy balance. While he did not suggest that nutritional imbalances or exposure to 1rnta~~ are the o~ly factors in the development of vwlent personahlles, he said biochemical factors should not be overlooked in the search for causes and cures. Conventional wisdom holds that allergic reactions ar1; manifest• ed onlr in physical terms, such as rashes, sneezing, difficulty in breathing and upset stomachs, he said. That theo_ry assumes that the brain is separate from the bod an~ not SUbJect to 1rntat10n by toxins or weakening by nutritionil def1C1enc1es. Rimland,_ however, says the brain can be influenced b such factors, which he bolds can cause inflammation, swelling an~ res- sure _or can dull or distort functioning of the brain's delicate ~om- mumcat10n system. He sai_d some of the most common toxins besides alcohol drugs f·nd environmental chemicals, are those p;oducing allergi~ reac- 10ns to a number of commonly consumed foods. Among those are milk, eggs, _wheat gluten, chocolate, corn, peanuts, sugar and the phosphates in preserved meats such as bacon Many of those ar_e already known to cause physical symptoms of allrg1c response m many people, but have only recently come bunher. scrut1~y by the medical community as possible causes of e av10ral disorders. · . He said mo_re than a half-dozen books by medical doctors exam• mmg t_he topic, and many others by lay authors have been pub· hshed m the past two years. ' Most recommend wa~er fasting to detoxify the system, followed by gradual remtroductlon of suspect foods to determine alle . response. rg1c _Rimland belieyes such therapy, while still highly controversial will eventually fmd a respected place in the treatment of h . i problems and behavioral disorders alike.

USD Overwhelms,·Gauchos, 74-57 By AILENE VOISIN Staff wr,ter, The San Diego Un,on For the first time in a long time, University of San Diego rd Mike Stockalper walked off the basketball forcing him outside much of the time, finished with just four points and four rebounds. Santa Barbara (1-1) stayed in the game mainly through the eiforts of guards Aaron McCarthy and Walter Evans. They scored 10 points apiece, mostly from outside.

That would have been 13 game. ago when the Toreros surprised Pepperdine in Malibu But on a night when Stockalper scored 25 points, and combined with his teammates to shoot 60 percent from the field USO (l•I) defeated UC Santa Barbara 74.57 at Alcala Park. 'I thought defen 1vely we played particularly well," said _llSD Coach Jim Brovelli afterward, ··especially in the ftrst hall when we gave up only 24 points. And Stock .. well he just did a super JOb quarterbacking the team. He took wh t they gave us.'

Between Bartholomew who scored 9 of his 16 point in the mtihal half, and Stockalper, who contributed 11. the Toreros moved out to a 35•24 halftime lead.

But in the second half, McCarthy and Evans were con· sistently victimized on the transition by Stockalper and Rusty Whitmarsh. Stockalper, who scored the majority of his baskets fr0m long range in the first half, broke free for six layups in the second period. . And Whitmarsh, who intercepts passes consistently and blocks a good sh'¾re of shots for a 6·3 guard, was usually the one feedrng ::,u,r:kalper the ball. "Rusty makes everyone around him play better de- fense," said Stockalper, "because that's what he does best. He makes it fun." · Stockalper, whose USO career high was 27 points last season against Loyola•Marymount, probably offered the most candid assessment of the game: "We shot so well because we got so many layups. And we had better jump· ers inside. Our guys don·t even jump that high - except. Gerald - and we outjumped them • "It just seemed,'" he concluded. "like everything was going right." Stockalper was almost perfect from the field - 12 of 15 -. and I of I from the line. Bartholomew, coming off a miserable shooting performance against San Diego State /4 of 17) earlier in the week, was 6 of 10. He also grabbed seven rebounds. ··I thought Bobby played very well," said Brovelli. "He • was unhappy about the State game, so tonight he wanted to come out and show what he could do. They all did. "And I think, overall, that this is the ~ind of team that's going to improve each game."
