USD football: Champagne results with a beer budget By T H. R inman

At OU there is one booster club concerned only with raising funds to buy air time in recruiting hotbeds for Coach Barry Switzer's second television show. At USO the various

OU has won five NCAA national champion- ships. USD players have won the past five annual NCAA Scholar Athlete awards. "It's nice to be ranked ninth," said Wil- liams, who in 1978 was named Division III Coach of the Year. "But what I'm really proud of is how well these guys take advan- tage of the educational opportunities avail- able here. Polls are fleeting. When you get into those other areas and have success, that's just hard facts." Some might say the hardest fact at USD is that the football budget is $50,000 a year. Not Williams. "I've got the best job in the country," said Williams, who in his six years as head coach has seen his team improve from 2-7-1 to its present 3-0 and national ranking. "All the ad- ministration cares about is how the players do in school. That allows us to get good, bright kids and slowly build a quality pro- gram honestly. "These kids know this is small college foot- ball when they come here. Their commitment is to academics first and football second. I don't know how you feel about it, but I'd rather have a kid playing for me because he was trymg to get a good education and have

some fun playing competitive football, not because I got him a bigger apartment or a better car than some other coach could.''

booster clubs bring in maybe $3,000 a year. But then there are no lights at Memorial Stadium, and there are at USD's field, fondly called "The Pit." Sort of. There have to be. The USD Toreros practice at night so their playei:s can io to school during the day.

Humboldt State last week they threw the ball 72 times, ran it eight. Tim Call quarterbacked USO for the past two seasons and is now an assistant coach, one of 11 helping Williams who is the o~ly full-time USD employee on the coachrng staff. "There's a little better quality out there this year," said Call with a nod toward the practice field. "In the past it's all been there but we just weren't able to put it all together. In two games so far this year we've scored two touchdowns in the first quarter. I don't ever remember that hap- pening before." Guy Ricciardulli is another of the seven assistants who played football at USD. "This is a young team, but it's got great confidence," be said. "There are a lot of guys who are tired of losing and more who are used to winmng." There's another similarity between USD and OU. They're tired of losing and used to winning in NonJllln. too.

graduates has to be ranked higher than that. The Toreros may be slow on the field - "We'd run more sweeps but I'm afraid we'd be called for delay of game," said Williams - but not in the classroom. Wil- liams is quick to point out that for the past 12 semesters the team grade-point average has been higher than the general student body's. . "We run a multiple offense with about• half passing and half running. We're able to use a lot of pretty sophisticated stuff be- cause our kids are so bright and so willing. It gives us an advantage we need because we're outweighed by 25-40 pouods per man almost every time we play." Another advantage is a swarming, gang- tackling 3-4 defense which has forced an average of eight turnovers per game and has allowed opposing passers a meager ~8 percent completion rate. That defense will be taxed Saturday night in "The Pit" w~en Occidental comes in with its nation-leading pass offense. In the Tigers' 28-7 loss to

f:½ZEL crow TRIBUNE SOCIETY EDITOR A 500-POUND LION named Dandy shared the limelight with minks, sables, foxes and bea- vers, but there was never any question as to who was the king of the beasts - live or otherwise. Dandy was indeed a show-stopper in a fashion show that had many - a string of pedigreed canines and a white show horse named Shamrock to say nothing of the wearables for humans. It all hap~ed yesterday at the Del Mar Thor- oughbred Club for the University of San Diego Auxi- liary's silver anniversary fashion luncheon, "Winner's Circle '81." More than 800 women - with a scattering of men - attended the event to benefit the USD student aid fund. ••• "Fantastic," was the way Peggy Matthews de- scribed it, "everything but children." Peggy speaks with expertise from fashion magazine work and put- ting on fashion shows (for The Broadway) herself. This one was executed by Robbi Kraft of Bullock's, who says she rarely uses children, but she has used animals before. A string of donkeys, for example. Yesterday's show was staged in the paddock area of the race track with luncheon tables set up on the turf and the fashion ramp running along the front of the stables. There the parade began with young women in jockey dress escorting models in bright- colored sllk dresses. In a while the mood turned and it was time for "roughing it" clothes - leather and woolens - with models leading the pedigreed canines, or in some cases the canines taking the lead. (All were champi- on hunter breeds.) When it was Dandy's turn - to introduce luxury furs - his trainers led him onstage, where he first decided to sit down and take a rest. He played his role, well, however; he looked at the crowd, and then at the greenery on the stables' roofs. And, with gentle urging, paraded in style around the ramp. (Dandy i5- a five-year-old raised in captivity and one of the animals trained by G Angeles for film and television work.) Shamrock, the white geldmg, appeared in the show finale, a Renaissance fantasy wedding. Trainer Nancy Zolanka rode him into the paddock and then dismounted so that the bride and bridegroom could "ride off into the sunset"
