"The jerseys began falling down as each coach took his turn speaking. "The last one still up there was San Diego." • The WCAC will fall in line with most of the country's other basket- ball conferences this season by stag- ing a postseason conference tourna- ment.

Kerr commuted between his La Jolla home and New York offices These days he's on the same jet run a key insider in the vast em- pire of shipping baron D.K. Ludwig. At lunch at Lubach's yes- terday wllh his old friend Lou Kornik, Kerr was marvelmg over the man uverings of young in- vestment bankers, trading bonds by the millions and hedging their bets with puts and calls. aid Kerr: "The. 're dealing with OPM. That 's other people's oney. In their business you can do almost anything now. The whole world has become a pari- mutuel machine." ELECTION: Voters widely ap- proved ·Prop. 63 yesterday, mak- ing English the official language in California.
