As a kid growing up comfortably in Pittsburgh, Broderick never did work in the steel mills like hie friend Bartolotta. ' "I heard that Pittsburgh had steel mills," deadpanned Broderick before cracking a smile. He and his friends were known es the \'cake eaters." .. . . On Monday night some folks from Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps put $1,178 in their poc.,_.e,---1111111"" and headed to Ralphs on Sport Arena Boulevard for some grocer- ies. By the time the spree was over they had bought food for 18 San Diego families representing 128 people. They'll leave it all - along with 22 trash cans filled with wrapped presents and four bikes - for the Salvation Arm't'.: to pick up this weekend. It's all part of Luce, For-ward's Christmas greetings to the less for- tunate. While many at the firm chipped in, these people spearheaded the drive: Linda Williams, Virginia Zober, Rosa Galvez, Letty Por- ras, Phyllis Nichols, Pat Baoling and Gina.Rodriguez.

Brod rick joined Gray, Cary as an a oci te in 1973. After doing bu in litig tion and some in• eur nc d fen.se work, he decided to etrike out on his own five years lat •r to make better use of the m dical background. .Recently. he took on Bob Vaage, formerly with Hollywood and Neil, . as an aASOCiate. . , Don't expect any dramatic chan• ge_R in t,h ,Ba~ rw~t year. l Broderick simply hopes

professional hability insurance to members. Broderick olso puts speech mak- ing high on the agenda, saying, "I'll talk to anybody at any time." Senior citizens, legal secretaries, Volunt rain Parole, UCSD medi- cal stud l)ta: He'll even talk to his eon'e elementary school class on the dangers of shooting paper clips and BB guns. Thoughts obout the general public's perception oflawyers? "We're perceived es advocotes; that the lowyer will ~ay whatever serves the client's rntt>rest. There's a naturol skepticism towards law- yers. Probably always will be." Broderick's solution? "Be an honest and fair person. Represent yourself and, the profession well." There are more than 4,700 coun- ty Bar members out of some 7,000 attorneys in San Diego, a figure which is expected soon to exceed 5,000. "Belonging to the Ber is very important," said Broderick, who gets 95 percent of his work from other lawyen. "That's true of most litigators. You have to get known by other attorneys." Broderick puts in 12- to 15-hour days, starting at 7:30 a.m. and winding well into the night. This on top of being a single parent (he's divorced) with four kids at home - Kim, Lee, Danny and Rhett. • • To unwind he skis. Broderick and his brother, Larry, a com- modities dealer in Denver, own a condominium in Color do. He also likes to be around attor• neys - both in the courtroom where he goes against the "brightest, most comJ>elitive ad- versaries" and sociall:t.

By Ric Bucher Staff Writer ::T" Dozens of nicknames have been hung in, on and around Paul Gerard Leonard's name during his basket- ball car ·r, but "Pistol Paul never bas been one of them. That could change before the Uni- versity of San Diego concludes its 1986-87 season. "Mola ,," Leonard, the Toreros' slender 6-foot-1 senior point guard, has emerged as Coach Hank Egan's long-range threat, replacing the graduated Pete Murphy, a 6-4 guard who never met a jump ~hot he didn't like. ''G-Rock" Leonard's ability to turn that threat into a promise might be crucial against Long Beach State ( 4- 3) tomorrow in the first round of the Albertson's Classic at Boise, Idaho. The 49ers will be the first team the Toreros (4-2) have faced that can match them in size inside. Host Boise State (5-1), which plays Southwest Texas State (4-2) in the other first-round match, is one of six USD opponents so far this year that can describe "Little Waterbug" ..,__

pby, Coach said before the season I was gomg to have to fill a few roles - like shooting and doing more play- . action stuff." Leonard's usual role, at Damien High in La Verne, Mount San Antonio Community College and LUSD last ,:;eason, was the passer who also was assigned to closing down the opposi- tion's shooting guard. The only tune he threw the ball up from three-point range was for, if anything, an alley- oop to a teammate. "Last year I knew basically my role was to keep everybody moving on offense and then just hit the fhot when I was open," Leonard said. "That's pretty much what I'm doing now, but I'm also moving to get open a lot more." Most of that movement bas been around the perimeter. Leonard leads the team in three-point attempts and percentage, hitting l4-of-23 (60.9 per- cent). The three-point range is newer to Leonard than most, and not only be- cause of his previous role as a play• maker rather than a scorer. The bro- ken right foot in April prevented him

working on his three-pointers Still, Egan was not worried Leon- ard couldn't take over Murphy's role. "Paul had done some of that in practice last year," Egan said. "We knew be was capable, but Murphy was our designated gun, so we didn't need him (Leonard) for that in g_ames. And Paul was usually too bred from playing defense to shoot." Now that sophomore guard Danny Means has taken over as the defen- sive specialist, Leonard's scoring av- erage bas improved from 6.7 to 12.7. "(Means is) a very big factor," Leonard said. "It really takes a lot out of you concentra ing on defense, because you're trying to stop this guy. Now that we have Danny up there, it really takes a great burden off of me." That leaves him free to use his quickness - be was tagged "Molas- ses" for his off-court speed - to ball- hawk as well. He has 12 steals this year, half of his 28-game total last season. His assists average is up, too, from 3.4 to 4.2. If this continues, look for bis nick- name count to increase as well.

'Without Murphy, Coach said before the season I was going to have to fill a few roles - like shooting and doing more play action stuff.' - Paul Leonard na d's jump shot, but 1t probably wont be too CQncerned about it if the two meet m the final on Saturday. The Toreros beat the Broncos, 54-52, for their second win, but Leonard was only 2-of-7 from the field. The Broncos may have been misled. Leonard had a career-high 18 points against UC-santa Barbara on Saturday and appears to have found shot again after a foot injury put 1t mstorage for the summer. "(The layoff) worried me a little," Leonard said, "because without Mur-
