EVENING TRIBU E OCT l 5

BASKETBALL PRACTICE UNDER WAY - San Diego State basketball coach Smokey Gaines opened pre-season practice this morning with his biggest team ever, while at the other end of Mission Valley USD coach Jim Brovelli opened the 1983-84 season with his tallest team. And both coach are heading through roughly five weeks of prac- tice loo ing for pomt guards. At State, heir-apparent Anthony Watson is among the missing, enrolled at Mesa College for the fall se r and not eligible to play until mid-December. B then transfer Jeff Konek, sophomore Bobby Owens or even walk-on N rm Brown may have the inside track to the pot. Brown was ao all-CIF player at San Diego High two years ago and bas returned after spending a year at a issouri junior college. The Aztec frontcourt, built around All-American candi- date M el Cage, could be one of the best in the nation if S-foot-9 transfers Michael Kennedy and Alldre Ross perform up to their advance billing. One national scouting service last year listed them as the Nos. 1 and 4 junior college b g men in the coUDtry, respectively. This is the first season Gaines has had a full comple- ent of 14 holarship players, mcluding five returners, ve freshmen and four junior college transfers. Along 1th Baker, Al Attles, son of the former Golden State ach, looks like a strong candidate to make the club as a alk-on. The Aztecs open Nov_ 28 at St. Mary's in Moraga. The Toreros, meanwhile, open camp with 15 players on e roster, five taller than S-8, including outstanding man recruit Scott Thompson, 6-11. ''This is the first year we've broken through in recruit- g high school players who were heavily recruited by m top schools," Brovelli said. Poml guard Rieb Davis graduated, leaving the job to nlor John nmty, although 6-4 Chris Carr and 6-2 Al oscatel, both transfers, could also figure in there by the e the season starts Nov. 18 against the Australian tional Team.

Bob Lozzi then put USD ahead to stay with a 30-y~rd field goal ~arly in the second quarter. Lozzi wound up with three field goals in the game. Down 10-7, th~ Poets fumbled.

SAN DIEGO UNION OCT 1 5 198 USD defense faces a test The University of San Diego foot- ball team will try to improve on its 4-1 record tonight when the Toreros battle La Verne (2-2) in a 7:30 game at USD. USO rebounded from an Oct. 1 loss to ·Occidental by stopping Whittier College 23-19 last week. The defense recorded three interceptions, two fumble recoveries and three quarter- back sacks. That defense will be test- ed by La Verne, which employs three quarterbacks and a top receiver in Maurice Harper (21 catches for 370 yards and four touchdowns). The Torero offense is led by run- ning back Jerome McAlpin, who has rushed for 593 yards and four TDs in 119 carries this season - a 4.9-yard average. Quarterback Phil Spencer has completed just 40 percent of his passes (34 of 86, 482 yards, three TDS) but has run for 301 yards and four other scores in 58 rushes.
