By MICHAEL GRANT Stoff Wl'tlet', The SoO D- UnlOll Now the world has come round to St. Patrick's Day again, and if the sun did not ~me up green this morning, most certalnly 11 will go down bloodshot-red this evening. St. Patrick was a teetotaler, actually - probably the last Irishman to admit lt. But it was he, Erin's patron saint, who was sup- posed to have introduced whiskey (however unintentionally) Jn that land; the story going that he encountered, toward the end of a long day's proselyting, a man at the side of the road. St. Patrick advised the man that he had had neither food nor wa~ all day, whereup- on the man hurried to his well and !etched a Jug or water. St. Patrick took a long pull from the jug and declared, "Ah, thls is truly the water of life. n The man drank also, then paused (briefly one would assume) to indulge his astonish'. ment: There now issued from the jug a tonic dlstinclly more invigorating than water. The man, fixing proper credlt for the miracle, dubbed this powerlul new potable the "water of life," which in the Irish Gaelic tongue of the day came out "usquebaugh," a word that emerged from subsequent Angli- can dlstlllation as 'wh!skey." To this day, strong water Is revered among Irishmen and seas of It, some (unfortunately) tinted green, will be lifted today to St. Patnck's memory. But how lt is got down will differ from one side or the Atlantic to the other, in the view of Sen. Augustine Martin, a green-eyed Irish- man of 42 who has bent his elbow here and there. Sen. Martin Is a scholar (professor of English at University College, Dublin, and lecturer worldwide) and a statesman (mem- ber of the Senate of Ireland since 1973) or high purpose and great vigor (hls curriculum vitae running three pages, sJngle-spaced) and he knows a little about drinking on the side. He Is In the United states thls St. Patrick's Day, on a lecture tour. He spoke at the University of San Diego this week on the role or poets and playwrights ID Ireland's struggle for freedom. In afternoon conversation with Malachi Rafferty (another Irishman and director of USD's continuing education program) and a v!Sltor who was at least part Irish, Sen. Martin (he goes by "Gus," informally) skipped facilely among several topics: the Irish _"poets' revolution" of 11116 (the first rebellion Within the British colonial dominlon upon which, at that time,... "the sun never set"); the facts of St. Patrick's Scottish birth

FLORIDA TECH COACH ENTHUSED

FLORIDA TECH COACH ENTHUSED Torchy's kids are fiery but Orlando sure isn't

Torchy's kids are fiery but Orlando sure isn't

By JERRY REMMERS "What It boils down to," drawled Florida Tech Coach Eugene "Torch:v" Clark, "Is whether th.ey play better basketball on the West Coast or in the Deep South." The University of San Diego Torero basketball team will fmd that out late Saturday night when It plays Florida Tech in the quarterfinal of the NCAA II basketball tournament. The game will be played in the Flonda Tech gymna- sium in Orlando, Fla., with the winner earning the right to play for all the marbles m the NCAA II nationals March 17-18 in Springfield, Mo. "It looks like a good matchup," said Clark In a telephone interview from his Orlando home yester- day "Purely a sectional game between two good small college teams." The Florida Tech Knights are 25-2, winners of their last 23 and ranked No. 2 in the final NCAA II national polls. USO is 22-6, wmners or their last II games and unranked. "We might have the home-court advantage and hope to fill our new gym (2,800 seating capacity) but I don't think it means all that much," Clark was say- ing. Orlando, it seems, is not a good basketball town. Neal l.aBarr, the school's spo information dirl>rtor, said the gymnasium has been rmect to capacity only several times this season 'I could run naked through downtown Orlando and no one would take notice,·• said Torchy Clark. As for Saturday night's game, Clark said it was his understanding the NCAA is pro~1ding referees from the Big 10. One person who will be at the game, but not as a player, is the coach's son, Bo. "Bo broke his foot in a prartire scrimmage Nov 25 and we had to red-shirt him for the season," Clark said. "That really hurt. He aver-

aged 28.8 points a game last year, was the conference leading scorer and once scored 70 in one of those games." "Man," said Torchy wanning to the subject at hand, "I thought we were ln for a bad lime. But, the kids came through." The "kids" did exactly that. They are led by 6-3 senior forward Jerry Prather who averaged 21.0 points per game, led the team in rebounds with 217, steals with 108 and blocked shots with 31. Junior !>-8 guard Cleve- land Jackson Is the team's playmaker, scoring 18.7 pomL~ per game and lead- ing the team m assists with 106. Jackson is Joined in the backcourt by guard Mlke Spivey, scortng at a 11.9 clip and the team's best free-throw shooter with an 83.2 percrnt average At the other forward posi- tion Is 6-6 sophomore Pete Krull, averaging 9. 7 points- per-game. The center, Lee Rllry, is only 6-4 but Jumps likr Dwight Stones, his coach said. He has 170 rebounds, 25 blocked shots and a 9.5 scormg average "It's a well-balanced team," said Clark, now in his 27th year or coaching baskPtball and his loth at Florida Tech (enrollmrnt 10,500) "They seem to rise to the occasion Just like your San Diego tPam (USD) srems to do" Flo11da Tech ls a gcHJd percentage shooting team hitting at a 51.6 percPnt rl1p from thr floor and 7U per- cent from the foul line Offensively, it is averag- ing 85.l points per game, lllh best in the NCAA II while holding opponents t~ 68.9 poinL~ per game. In fact, Florida Terh is the NCAA II second-best team in scoring margin over its opponents, beating them by an average 16.3 pomts per game. USD doesn't figure on getting beat by 16 points.
