TOREROS CONVINCED THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY Are the University of San Diego basketball players confident of making the NCAA II playoffs next week? You bet they are. "That was the most fun we have had out here in a long time," said USO forward Rick Michlemore after helping his teammates to a convincing 94-84 victory over Chapman College last night. Indeed the victory should go a long way to enable the Toreros to gain a playoff ~rth since the March 2starting field of four teams has been narrowed to six with USD one of them. , Point Loma College also inched toward a second-straight NAIA III Southern Division title last night by overwhelming hapless Cal Baptist of Riverside 87- 68. "I can't wait for the playoffs," said Michlemore, whose parents were In town to watch him score 14 points and grab seven rebounds in the Torero win. Guard Ron Cole, who scored 21 points, and center Buzz Harnett who was contained to only six points and three rebounds in limited action because of an ankle injury, also were setting their aims high. "We think we can win the national championship," Cole said before last night's game. USO Improved its record before a near-capacity crowd of 1,750 to 19-3, which includes two victories over Chapman.

are expected to be made Sunday with only one team champion Northridge State, which lost to USD earlier this season - presently in possession of a berth as the host team. The other five bidding for an invitation are USO, Chapman (now 17-8), UC- Oavis, Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo and Puget Sound. USO has beaten all these teams this season except Davis, which it hasn't , played, USD's top scorer last night was William Stewart who got hot in the second half and scored 17 of his 27 points. Chapman's Marvin Thur- man notched a game-high of 43 points in the loss while Panther guard Johnny Johnson scored 22. Thur- man is the NCAA II 14th highest scorer, averaging 22.2 points per game. However, the Torero de- fense held all other Chap- man players to almost zilch. While USO shot 54 percent from the field, Chapman was held to 48 percent, far below their season shooting percentage average of 55 percent, the third best shooting team in the NCAA IL Cal Baptist was never in it as Point Loma shot a torrid 60 percent of its shots from the field in the first half to coast to its easy win. Point Loma is now 7-2 in its conference and 19-7 on the year. Southern California Col- lege remained in a second place tie in the NAIA III Southern Division by trouncing UCSD 89-64.

;;.-.).s-1i Toreros Aim For No. 20 Vs. Riverside The Umversity of San Diego basketball team goes in quest of victory number 20 to end the regular season tonight while Palomar Col- lege sets its sig!lts on num- ·ber 25. , • Games involving those two teams highlight activity as regular season play is all but wrapped up for San Diego County's small college and community college teams. After tonight's games only one regular season contest remains, Mesa JC at Grossmont on Wednesday. USO hosts Riverside to- night at 8 at USD's Alcala Park campus gym. The Toreros of coach Jim Bro- velli carry a 19-6 record into the game. A victory would give USD an eight-game winning streak to close out the regular season and the team then comfortably could await an expected phone call Sunday from the NCAA Divi- sion II tournament selection committee offering it an at- large berth in the West Coast Regional Tournament. USO defeated Riverside by a dozen points 11 days ago.

Hiroshige Prints igh Road Led To By RICHARD REILLY Art Critic The Son Diego Union being worthy of portrayal;

New Art cut blocks during the Meiji period - 1868-1912.) All the prints are quite small, measutin_g approximately 4x6 mches, anct are about the size of modern-da: jumbo picture post cards. Within that small space, Hiroshige skillfully and aesthically re-created the pilgrimages, com- merce and beauty found everywhere along the road. Viewers will find that nature pre- dominates, that men carried heavy loads on their backs, and that onl)1 the privileged few rode horseback o were carried on the backs of oth~ men. Teahouses, fishermen, ferrie' castles, foot bridges, shrine clusters of houses and hordes travelers all played secondary ro to Japan's mountains, lakes, bay ·, pine and cherry trees. Hirtoshige went on to create thou- sands of pictures which showed U e landscapes of old Japan, and in many of them one discovers ott er aspects or the great master's art. rfe died durmg the great cholera epi- demic of 1858, and his tombstone bears in part, the following inscrip- tion written by a pupil: "He did not seek other teachers, being ambitious to found an independent school. He therefore studied nature itself, sketched it, scaled numerous moun- tains and descended into many val- leys. It is thus that he founded the free school for landscape true to nature." This exhibition is not a monumen- r ta! or epic production, but does prove that while mortal life is short, the life of gOOd art JS ageless. The Founders' Gallery, University of San Diego, is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays only. This exhibi- tion will end March 3.

the women being portrayed primarily as courtesans, waitresses and singing girls. Artists were engaged to illus- trate romantic novelettes and pic- ture books. The landscape was disre- garded entirely, being thought of as merely background. Hiroshige changed all that: He highlighted nature, using people as minor char- acters, or accessories as it were. This was so "shocking," that his prominent contemporaries gave the painter a wide berth as a revolul!on- ary and rebel! On this, Hiroshige's first journey, he traveled some 320 miles, stopping at 53 stations, at each of which were fresh horses, accommodations for the mght, baths, refreshments, and companionship. In a sense, traveling on the Tokai- do was much like traveling Inter- state 5 - it was a microcosm of Japanese life then, as California freeways are to life in our state now. The rich and poor, high and low, priests and pilgrims, merchants and customers, soldiers and sailors, inn- keepers and guests, natives and tounsts - everyone was on the road. When Hiroshige returned, Tak- enouchi Magohachl the publisher, commissioned a set of designs for the "53 Post Stations of the Tokai- do '' These were successful with both the Japanese, as well as with foreign visitors. The 53 stations exhibited at the ounders' Gallery are early pnnts, th colors are bright, the lines sharp. (Fine e ly Impressions are rare, but bad late ones are comparatively plentiful, for copies continued to be struck off till the blocks were almost worn out, and the entire series was reissued several times from newly

Long, long before Hope and Cros- b; were on the road to Bali, Hong Kong, Morocco, Rio, etc, the great Japanese artist Hiroshige (1797- 1858) was on the road, the old high road - the Tokaido - that ran from Yedo (now known as Tokyo) to Kyoto, Thts was the famous Eastern a route t.':at. never failed to elicit fcellnv; of wonder and astonishment f"""?Tl •mpean vJSJtors in the early da:· , Japan's awakening_ The Tokaido Road was Japan's Imperial road, and It compared with the fmest thoroughfares In Europe. Sir Rutherford Alock wrote in 1858 saymg that it was "broad, level, carefully kept and well-maca- dam1 · d, with magnificent avenues of timber to give shade from the scorching heat of the sun. It is dtff1cult to exaggerate its merit or describe Jls beauty." And because Sir Rutherford and many others found 1t too difficult to describe, they purchased the entire set of Hrroshige prints, executed by the artist in 1830, when he first made the journey. The end product, 53 prints, are currently on a loan exhibition (from San Diego Fine Arts Society) at the Founders' Gallery, Univcr ity or San Diego.
