By JOHN NE'ITLES Slaff Writer, TIie San llie90 Unioll Several rnd1v1dual and team r ords w re established yesterday the Umvers1ly of San Diego de- feated Chapman College 42-27 before 3,975 homecoming fans at the cam- pus stadium. Senior runnJng back Joe Henry rushed for 109 yards on 20 carries lo give him 1,940 career yards, eclips- ing the tandard of 1,867 established by Sammy Croom 10 1972-73. Def nsive back Dan Herbert, also a s ruor, claimed h eighth intercep- t n of the eason, toppmg the old mark of even shared by three oth- ers. And by totaling six interceptions m all, mcludmg a pair by linebacker Bill Thomas, the Toreros bettered the1r sea on record by five. record that probably will be most remembered by the players who toiled for Coach Bill Williams this season is 9-0. At no lime, in a history dating to Bu~ th

1956, has USD ever managed to finish a season with fewer than two losses. Only an assignment at St. Mary's next Saturday stands in the way of a perfect season, and even a Gael vic- tory cannot deny the current Torero edition its place in the record book. The victory had a fitful beginning, with Henry bouncing off left tackle for 35 yards on the first play. The four-year letterman was baited at the Chapman 33. Severa 1 plays later, a pass inter- ference call against the Panthers po- sitioned the Toreros on the 1-yard Jin and Henry scored to tie Crooms' rushing mark The Panthers, 3-5, came back on a series of intriguing design. After fail- ing to move on their initial posses- sion, they punted, and the ball bounced off Torero Chuck Pillon's back as he was looking for someone to block. The Panthers recovered at the USO 32. The Toreros scored twice. more in

the second quarter on plunges by quarterback Steve Loomis and Henry. USO hiked its margin to 28-7 when Loomis, who hit on 18 of 23 passes for 252 yards, found junior wide receiver Bill Vinovich widt> open in the end zone for a 9-yard completion. The Panthers made another bid to keep things respectable when quart· erback Bill Schultz found Jeff Boyd unescorted for a 19-yard touchdown with just 26 seconds unplayed in the first half. Loomis responded with a 32-yard touchdown pass to Randy Reppen- bagen with 3:54 gone in the third quarter to make it 35-13. And, al- though the Panthers, who suited just 26 players, continued to fight back, the relative closeness of the final score could most probably be attrib- uted to Williams substituting liberal- ly the rest of the game, yanking Henry and Loomis before t.'1e end of the third period.

EVENING TRIBUNE NOV 1 , 1 A isn't all bad, Colby says By Pr ton Turegano Tr1b1JIJe Lall Wri er Former Central Intelli- gence Agency Director Wil- liam E. Colby says news rf'- ports of allegations of cor- ruption among present and former CIA employees do not me.an that the spy or- ganization 1s full of bad peo- ple. "Tens of thousands of agents have served the CIA in the past 30 years, and there have been very few bad apples. ' Colby said last night in a press conference at the Umvers1ty of San Diego. Colby was on campus as the guest of the USO Associ- ated Student Body to speak to students on the topic "The Turbulent World Around Us and the Ways in Which America Must Mobil- ize to Defend Itself." Colby, now 61, was CIA director from 1973 to 1976. He is practicing law in Washington, D.C., and fre- quently tours the country to talk about the CIA. "Bad . apples pop up in any busmess or profession," Colby said. "They appear among police, in the news- paper business, m the mili- tary. The CIA is no differ- ent." Colby said two such peo- ple are a pair of former CIA agents, fugitives Frank Ter- pil and Gary Korkola who were interviewed on' CBS television's "60 Minutes" news program Sunday. On the show, Terpil de- ~ri~ favors and payoffs mvolvmg a State Depart- ment employee and mili- tary and intelligence offi- cials during the reign of the late shah of Iran.

RARE FIND - Donna Alm of Centre City Development Corp. helps catalog some of rare artifacts unearthed recently beneath a downtown construction site. - Tribune photo by John Gibbins

Yesterday's discards treasured by downtown history hunters By Lynne Carrier Tribune Staff Writer Many might have been lost forever, the victims of downtown renewal.

The Centre City Development Corp., how- ever, has spent about $100,000 on archaeologi- cal preservation. The most valuable cache of about 40,000 artifacts was excavated last year from an area bounded by Kettner Boulevard and State, Gand E streets. Once known as "New Town," the site is the scene of the Marina housing project currently under construction. Before bulldozers cleared the blocks, a team of University of San Diego professors and graduate students dug for buried histori- cal treasures, systematically labeling and numbering their finds. SeeDIG, B-8

The bottles and shattered pottery buried beneath a downtown construction site were the lost and unwanted items of an earlier generation. But the archaeologists who recently dug them up say they're valuable pieces in a his- torical jigsaw puzzle. Excavation produced a witch doctor's ritu- al doll, a copper spoon commemorating the sinking of·the U.S.S. Maine in 1898, delicately painted porcelain dolls and other intriguing objects. Even the most mundane items - beef bones and buttons, for instance - help tell the story of 19th-century San Diegans, they say.

He also said he was aw~~e of active-duty CIA off1c1als who privately sell classified information to foreign countries. Terpil and Korkola were convicted last year of con- spiring to sell weapons to foreign countries. Colby said the CIA can 1:uard itself against corrup- tion among its employees by "careful (pre-employ- ment) investigations, po- !ygr~m (lie-detector) exam- mahons of its agents and enforcing discipline." "Those employees who are caught selling secrets should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law " Colby said. ' He said President Reaga.n's ~all to step up ~IA . mtell1gence-gathering 1s directed at foreign threats and activities against the United States and is not to be interpreted as a call for wholesale do- mestic spymg.

best finds in old privy pits. One at a former hotel site yielded a ritual doll with one leg snapped up, which Moriarty believes belonged to a Mexican Indian witch doctor. "Somebody found his doll and killed it," Moriarty said. "He never would have thrown it down a toilet" Moriarty speculated an elderly woman might have done it, adding that younger people might have been fearful the doll had magical powers of revenge. Another privy yielded a "Hell's Box," a metal con- tainer in which railway workers carried nitroglyce- rine for demolition pur- poses. Moriarty found some of

stick. The painter's children also had toys, Moriarty said, but they were fewer and smaller. He added the painter's family ate Jess beef and the cuts were not so choice, based on bones found at that site. The archaeological team studied their finds, with an eye to the slightest detail. They were aided in their task by written records, ri!searched in a preliminary study conducted for the city's renewal agency. But the objects recovered added an intimate view of the daily lives of the city's permanent and transient residents.

most everywhere by rail- road workers. What fascinated Moriarty were artifacts produced by rich and poor families in- habiting the same neighbor- hood. George Wetherbee, a prosperous businessman, opened a planing mill in 1884 and built his Kettner Boulevard estate behind it. }Vithin shouting distance lived a house ,painter and his family. From the Wetherbee site, Moriarty recovered beef bones, choice cuts similar to those sold today. Also unearthed were sev- eral of the Wetherbee chil- dren's toys, including dolls and a miniature horse that could be rolled along on a

the objects amusing, includ- ing a "glass key" belonging to a hotel. The keys, really made of pot metal rather than glass, were used for non-paying guests. Explained Moriarty: "If the manager saw a guest drinking up his money and suspected he wasn't going to pay, he'd take the key to his room and snap it off in the lock. Then when the guest said he couldn't get in, the manager would say, 'Pay up."' Other sites revealed the kinds of people who lived in New Town: the remains of tiny cubicles believed to house prostitutes, the porce- lain ware of Chinese immi• grants and spikes left al-

Except for an old gold coin found in preliminary digging, most items have little monetary value. They are nonetheless im- portant clues in deciphering past living conditions down- town, said James Moriarty, a USO history professor and archaeologist who worked on the project along with the USO History Depart- ment's Dean Raymond Brandeis. And New Town - home to businessmen, railway workers, military men, shopkeepers, hoteliers, craftsmen and prostitutes - provided an archaeologi-• cal bonanza. Moriarty, who described himself as "a detective of history," made some of his

C,t,tinued From B-1 The renewal agency put up $25,250 for the work, though the San Diego Sci- ence Foundation is donating an evaluation of artifacts dating to as early as 1850. All the objects - among them old trolley wheels, broken toys, horseshoes, pieces of glass and ceramic, dentures, blue cobalt bottles and statuettes of the Virgin Mary - will be turned over to the San Diego Historical Society Nov. 24. Richard Esparza. the .so- ciety's executive director, says the artifacts will be a major part of the public dis- play in the Museum of San Diego History scheduled to open in Balboa Park in Jan- uary 1983.
