Valois Poses Bi Thr For University of San Diego's problem is simple. Either find a way to stop Dick Valois, the nation's fifth• ranked small-college passer, or head for the bomb shelters when the- Toreros meet San Francisco State in a home- coming date at 2 p.m. Satur- day at USD stadium. Stopping Valoli; won't he slmp[I'. The 18.5-pound quar- terback has gained 973 yards while completing 6:5 of 111 passes. That's enough to rank the aerial artist 18th in total offense, even though his rush- ing total Is a minus 100 yards. S.F. Runs, Too The Gators won't be hurt- lng tor i-unnlng power, how- ever. They have halfback Tom Manney, who has gained 1 314 yards on 63 carries for a 4.9 average; fullback Bob I BurnC'tt, who totals 295 yards on 64 runs for a 4.6 mean, and halfback Mike Jaramillo.who has 303 yards on 46 totes, a 6.6 average. The G a t o r s were hard. pressed in their last outing before downing University of Callfornla at Davis, 13-8. San Francisco has a 5-2 record for the year. Gators Won Last The Toreros scared Long Beach State before bowing, 14-12. The Toreros are 2-4 for the season with victories over Pepperdine and New Mexico Western. Last year the Gators stomped USD, 35-0, and al- though San Francisco is strong again this season, the Torer- os could improve considera. bly on that showing oft their close game with the tough Long Beach crew.

The question: How can Uni- versity of San Dirgo beat New Mexico Western tomor. row? The answer: Stop Juan Vas- quez. The key to v I c t o r Y ls wrapped up in those thre<• words but the job won't be that ~imple. Vasquez ranks as the nation's No. 2 runner, having compiled 632 yards on 83 carries in six g a m e s. That's an average of 7.61 yards a carry. The El Paso, Tex., native l ~tands only 5-10 but weighs 200 pounds. With good speed J and bruising power, he has carried the brunt of. the Mus- tang attack in three wins. The Mustangs have lost to Sul Ro.ss (Texas) State, Adams (Colo.) State and Panhandle A.&M. of Oklahoma. They have beaten Eastern Arlzo. na, N w Mexico Highlands and Arizona State Universi- ty's B team.
