USD scien tists, Chinese to study anchor samples

USD Football: Solid In '81 By AILENE VOISIN Staff Writer, The san Diego UniOn with tight end Mike Ledbetter (6-1 212) and wide receivers Ron Guzman (5-5,' 155) and Mike Rish (6-1, 170).

Bill Williams sat in the deserted stadium at the University of San Diego in Alcala Park, carefully scrutinizing the football field. A few brown patches stood out no- ticeably. Probably the same patches that were there last year. "The lights aren't too bad, though," said Williams, shrugging his shoulders. "Not re- ally." Some things about USD football seem never to change, like the brown patches and the lighting, which, despite what the coach says, is actually pretty bad. The an- nual turnout - and the caliber - of Torero football players also remains fairly con- stant. About 100 are pr ent on the opening day of practice, this year's group being no ex- ception. Some, like quarterback Steve Loomis and linebacker Don Niklas, might have been able to earn a scholarship some- where else. j But the majority are like running back I Joe Henry, either too small (5 feet 7, 180 I pounds), too slow, or simply not good enough to play above the Divison III level. f "We attract a different type of football I player," said Williams. now in his sixth I year as head coach. "They come here to get l an education and because they can also I play football But we don't give scholar- ships. They come on their own." I And not all remain. Williams seldom I cuts a player, preferring instead to elimi- nate by strenuous, three-a-day workouts. The squad will number closer to 70 when the Toreros open the season at home Sept. I 12 against the University of Redlands. His theory? What the Toreros Jack in tal- l ent must be compensated for by desire, \ intelligence and hard work. In the past few years, USD has bordered on the .500 mark - 5-5 last year, 6-5 the year before. But Williams, who calls him- self an "eternal optimist" anticipates a banner year for 1981, maybe 8-2 or 7-3. "That's only if our defensive line comes through for us," he said. "That's the big question mark." Here's a look at the 1981 Toreros: OFFENSE Seven starters return, led by Loomis, a 6- 2½, 185-pound dropback passer. He spent most of last season alternating with Tim Call. This year, the job is his. "His arm is strong enough to play at any level," said Williams. '·He has the potential to play professionally, but he'll have to dominate. That's one of the disadvantages of attending a small school." Loomis' backup will be either Eric Sweet (5-9, 165), a good medium-to-short-range passer from Laney Junior College, or Chris Kemple (6-0, 175), a freshman from Wilson High in Los Angeles. The receiving corp returns almost intact,

Top receiving recruits include Bill Vino- vich (6-0, 175) from Santa Ana Junior Col- lege and Burt Miller (6-0, 175), a transfer from Ball State University. Although Williams likes the pass as well as Chargers' Coach Don Coryell and San Diego State Coarh Doug Scovil, he bas an adequate running game with semor Henry and two newcomers. Henry led USD with 650 yards in 1980, and needs 622 yards to brbk the school's all-time rushing record. The other starter appears to be a tossup between Mike Du- leany (5-10, 188), Laney Junior College; Jim Smith (5-9), a reserve, and freshman Rick Butler (5·10, 175). John Amarillas (6·6, 240) and Craig Bea- ver (5-11, 200) return on the offensive line and will be jo!ned by Chris Graham (5-8, 190), Kearny High; Steve Connolly (6-0, 218), Umvers1ty High; Todd Marella (6-1, 195), San Clemente High, and reserve Greg Hol- ley (6-1, 205). DEFENSE Six defensive starters are back, but only one is a lineman - nose guard Bruce Ogni- bene. The leadmg candidates for the other spots on the line are Louie Sanchez (6-0, 210), Laney Junior College; Fitzhugh Din- kins (6-2, 215), Mesa College; Andy Allman (6-0, 190), Kearny High, and reserve Rudy Angiano (6-0, 210). USD's strength is linebacker and the de- fensive secondary, Don Niklas (6-1, 195), who has started at inside linebacker since his freshman year, is rated "potentially the best linebacker ever to play here" by his coach. The other starters probably will be Bill Thomas (6-0, 190), a redshirt last year, and lettermen Dave Westhem (6-2, 208) and Gary Newberry (6-1, 190). All three, howev- er, are being challenged by John Babin- chak (6-0, 218) of Glendale Junior College, and John Couverette (6-1, 200) of St. Augus~ tine High. In the secondary, returning starters are Chuck Pillon (5-11, 175), Dan Herbert (6-0, 180) and Chris Levme (5-9, 160). The final starting position is being contested be- tween reserve Cedric Roberson (5-10, 165); Don Garcia (6-1, 190), Grossmont College, and Steve Urell (5-10, 180) and Na~e Rowsey (5-11, 180), both from Menlo Junior College. The kicking chores belong to Mark Kele- gian (5-9, 160), and the kickoff retufoers will be Tom Reilly (5-10, 170) and Kevin Briscoe (6-1, 170). "Overall, I think we'll be pretty solid," said Williams. ·'We'll probably be favored in four games, underdog in four, and the other two will be tossups. That should keep things interesting." I
