Marian Star Selects USO Joe Evans, Manan High 's giant 6-foot-9, 240-pound bas- ketball center, says he will sign a letter of intent tomor- row to attend the L'niversJty of San Diego. Evans, who averaged 21. O points and almost that many rebounds a game for the Crusaders, had narrowed his choices to Oklahoma State,. Idaho State, Providence and Seattle as weu as USD. The All-County first teamer led Marian to its best record ever, 21>-5 and a fourth place finish In the CIF playoffs. The Baltimore transfer played Just 10 games as a Junior.

"Nice game, Julie." There was pride in Julie's response. "I know," she said. She had turned back at least four power drives on her team's goal, clearing the puck downfloor each time. She hadn't flinched when big men on the other team closed m on her defense position. She was no loser, no matter what the final score. It was the same with others partic- ipating.

A stranger to the Special Olympics watching countywide competition here yesterday became quickly aware of the fact the games comprise triumphal little vignettes. A !I-year-old gitl m pink leotards t.rrned a cartwheel quite cleanly. She tried another and it didn't come off as well On her third try, she couldn't quite make 1t; she fell SJftly sidewise on the gymnasium mat. She got to her feet and smiled. Her coach raised the child's right hand, facing the audience in the stands, and the men and women there applauded with genuine warmth. In another gym, a floor hockey game had Just ended The City "A" team, with an all-QJ3.le squad Jed by two talented broken-field perform- ers, has just overwhelmed North Shores, 111-2.

dividual. My committee was a small group of loving, caring men and women who volunteer their time, hard work and money to help. They are per- petuating a program which encourages young women to make the most of their natural beauty by developing their talents, enhancing their in- telligence and awareness through higher education, expanding their personalities and confidence through public exposure, and by helping them to more clearly define and reach their goals. These people were so good to me - always going out of their way to see that I had a won- derful year as Miss San Diego. I never had to put on a mask and act out a role other than "myself." In competition, I never en- countered the vicious jealousy so often mocked in movie versions and backstage gossip reports of beauty contests. My competitors were friendly and charming women. We were all equally qualified. Since my title proclaimed me "official hostess for the city and county," I was expected to be able to conduct myself in a professional manner in any public situation, whether a civic function, parade, ·grand opening, a television or newspaper interview. I made many public speaking appearances which gave me an opportunity to prove Miss San Diego was not a dumb blond stereotype, but rather a serious young woman with career goals Professionalism is important. Miss San Diego is never allowed to be photographed in a swim- suit. No cheesecake shots. I felt that I represented the ever - growing number of young women who are making the most of themselves as in· dividuals with something to offer our community. The Miss San Diego Pageant and all other Miss America system pageants have given the term "beauty queen" a meaning which describes the special inner qualities which make their "queens" beautiful.

It was not until I became Miss San Diego that I alized the genuine sincerity b tnd it. I wa positive that my lack of significant cleavage and my fairly prominent hips would make me unsuitable Miss San Diego material, even though I had a background as a honor student and 15 years of classical p111no training.

,, Tue.day, {p,;1 11, 1978 USD's set to land 6-9 Evans University of San Diego basketball coach Jim Bro- velli today confirmed the worst-kept secret in county high school circles. It is that Joe Evans, the 6- 9, 240--pound center from Marian High School in the South Bay will enroll at USD next September. Evans said yesterday he plans to sign a national let- ter of intent at USD tomor- row, the first day that is possible. under NCAA guide- lines. Evans averaged 21.0 points per game in leading Marian to a 2!>-5 record last season - its best ever. The center from Baltimore, Md., was an all-county player last season. "Getting a player of Joe's caliber here is just another indication that we are im- proving our basketball program," Brovelli said. "It proves we have a win- ning program and it is on the upswing." USO compiled its best- ever record last season, 22- 7, and plans to compete in the major ~CAA division by the early 1980s. The school now competes at the NCAA II level. Evans is expected to fill a huge void left by the gradu- ation of seniors Buzz Har- nett, Rick Michlemore and William Stewart who com- posed the offensive and de- fensive front line for the Toreros the pasl several seasons. Brovelli anticipates to use Evans either at center or one of his two double post forwards.

The University or San Diego basketball coach has, by any reckoning, fared rather well in the current scramble of colleges to re- cruit players for next sea- son.

There are other factors, Brovelli says, in the success- es or the recruiting efforts to date, the most important being a recognition factor that has increased through two straight 20-win seasons. "The success we've had over the past couple years and some of the exposure from it has helped broaden the program," he says. "We've been able to talk to players who we couldn't have gotten to a year or so ago. We've made trips to several places and played well. Where a couple years ago no one knew about USD they're starting to hea,r about us more." A projected jump in status from Division II to Division I in the near future has also helped USO sell its basket- ball program to high calibre players. That switch is not a surety. It requires, among other things, approval of the school's board of trustees at their May meeting.

COURT NOTES Area college gals looking good on the tennis courts By BEN PRESS Of all the different tennis categones now beig played, collegiate tennis still stands alone. Playing for one's school is akin to playing Davis Cup except it is not restricted to the precious few or even to the men. Since the enactment of the Title IX proclamation giving women equal opportunity, women's collegiate tennis has taken giant steps. California schools have traditionally ruled men's inter- collegiate tennis. This year is no exception. Stanford, UCLA and USC are three of the best in the country.

His team is further proof of something we have known for years. Our local female talent remains among the best in the nation. Five or the seven USD squad members are San Diego tennis nurtured· Lucy Gordon, Dana Rowe, Vicki Jensen, Tracy Price, and Renee Downs. Wichary added that Downs is the only senior and alrea~y there have been numerous inquiries that will enable him to fill the spot for next year. At San Diego State University, Coach Carol Plunkett also has a very tough team. The Aztecs' record stands at eight wins, four losses, and one tie. Although State's team is not quite as strong as USD, 1t will surely be mevidence at the Sectionals. Plunkett's team is also laden with local talent. City College and UCSD have excellent women's teams and you can count on women's collegiate tennis continuing Lo grow. It is refreshing to see our local women players stay home. When our boys reach the same level, the tendency is for them to play for schools outside our city. Perhaps now this situation will change Wichary is also pleased with his men's team. Although USD's record is 13-10, it hasn't lost to a single Division II school. USO will again host the NCAA Division II nationals, May 17-20. Last year's tournament was excep- tional and this ear the field should prove even stronger.
