EVENING TRIBUNE

Diego, Friday, February 25, 1972 2 standouts doubtful for USD windup EVENING TRIBUNE DIIPalcll NORTHRIDGE, Cahf. - Three basketba11 games m reros, the fmt against San Fernando Valley State at 8 here tonight, but they may have to play them without stars Pinky Smith and Stan Washington. Smith has been bedded down all week with flu and was barely able to make the trip here while Washington IS nursi::ig a painful ankle sprarn suffered in last wE!i.>k's U.S. International Umversity game. "It's touch and go whether they will be able to suit up," said coach Bernie Bickers- taff, who is trying to put to- gether a winning season. The Toreros have won six of their last seven contests and will be shooting to better their 12-11 record against San Fernando, a team they de- feated, 83-76, last month . Should Smith be unable to play, b1ckerstaff will use Ben Thompson at the forward spot, with Ron Modic moving in to spell Washington should the latter be unable to see ac- tion. The Toreros will play at Fullerton State Saturday night, then come back home for a season finale against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Monday rught at 8 in USD gym. The Monday night game will be preceded by a preg- ame dJ.nner and team awards. The Toreros are a young team. with only Norman and Arnerich listed as semors. The others will be around for several more seasons and the coach hopefully is looking for- ward to winning_ the NCAA College championship which barely eluded him last sea- son. "If the pitching comes around, we may just have another championship con- tending team,'' he said.

OFFENSE, DEFENSE SOLID

heritage."

Since pitching is deemed 80% of the game, the jury is out on the Uruversity of San Diego baseball team. Coach John Cunmngham would like to repeat last year's fine 34·12 record. which included the NCAA col- lJ>ge c!Jvis1on playoffs. but he ha.sn 't yet come up with re- placements for all-Distnct ~ight hurlers Gary Myron and Steve Davis. "When I get some better J)ltching.'' stressed Cunning- 1).am, "we'll be on our way up." • Even at that, the Toreros :lre off to a flying 4-0 staii, having beat.en UC-Irvine, 8-2 and 1--0; UCSD, 6-2. and Whit- tier, 5-4. From the sound of the ~ores, it seems Cunrungham has some respectable hurling lh the persons of Steve Arch- ambault, Dub Roberts, Phil Bajo and Ken Bretsch. "They don't throw as hard

as did Myron and Davis," said Cunrungham, "but tbey are coming. By end of the season, we may have a pretty good team." USD should lie a speedy ag- gregation this year, spiced with fine defense and ex- cellent offen.se. Then there is the pitching. Coach of the year in Dls- lr1ct Eight last year, Cun• ningham lists his lineup as follows: Terry Dineen, cf; Rick Garner, rf; Jerry Norman, 3b, Ken Kinsman, c; Mel Ar· nerich, If; Gary Prior, lb; Ted Schultz, ss, and Bill Crompton, 2b. "Kinsman, Dineen a.nd Ar- nerich are my top hitters," said Cunningham, "but I have respect for all of the players right down to the eighth 5pot. Even Crompton, who bats around .2.'iO, comes up with the hit when we need it."
