Toreros Quit Football By JOHN:'.\'Y l lcDOXALD t:mversity of San Diego football had a quiet funeral yesterday.

Father Caddrn's prepared statement came as a . urprise to many, including head coat'h .',,like Pe- carovich, athletic director Bob Sexton, the ex!'cutivr board of USD boosters and the students. However, few seemed shocked and expressed little opposition. , "This decision has been reached after many months of c-areful study and discussion by the ad- ministration and reflects C'0nsultation with other schools of our size and character on the Pacific Coast," Father Cadden said. ''This decision was in no WU) determined by our unsuccessful and lackluster i;eason (The Toreros won two and lost eight this year)." Father Cadden listed two reasons for the decision:

"1- From a budget standpoin1 the football pm- gram has hecome inopt'rable. Th!' deficit from last st.!ason is of more than major conc·em to the of- ficials of the school responsible for its financial maintenanC'e. "2-The College for Men is a liberal arts l'0llege and it mu ·1 reflect in its academic program and academic standards the policies and praC"tices oI other liberal arts c·ollegcs of it:, comparalivP sizt•.

The death came at 10:45 a.m. during a spe ·ial as. embly when Very Rev. John Cadden, dean of the College for :\1en, informed a rather ubdued student body that the university was abandoning its pro- ~ram in intercollegiate football. Thus ended the roller-coaster ride of USD through rather turbulent time . Football was born in major league fashion Sept. 29, 1956, against the Air Force Academy and closed last month with what was hoped to be the tart of a cross-town series with Cal Western. * • •
