National History Day Contest Open to 6th To 12th Grade Students Registration is now open for students in grades 6 thru 12 to compete in the San Diego region's National History Day, set for April 12, 1980, at U. of San Diego. The theme for National His- tory Day 1980 is "The Indi- vidual in History." Students entering the contest may pre- pare papers, films, demonstra- tionss, plays or an y other form of presentation to ex- plain their theme. The University of · San Di- ego will act as the host uni- versity for the competition, which will be judged by pro- fessors of history at colleges ; and universities, professional staff members of historical societies, social studies teach- ers and members of the com- munity. "For more than a decade, enrollment in history courses has been decHning," notes Dr. Ray Brandes, dean of UCD's Graduate School, and coordi- nator of National History Day. "This program is de- signed to help revive interest in history by allowing stu- dents to work outside the classrooms in an imaginative and creative manner. We hope that it can generate the same type of interest that science fairs do." Teachers and students in- terested in participation in National History Day 1980, can call the Graduate School at 29J.4524.

pear to have a big edge up front. They start 6-5 Rick Raivio, All-WCAC last year and one of three Pilots av- eraging 16 points per game, and 6-5 Bill Krueger at for- ward, and 6-7 Russ Dyer at center. The other scorers are guards Darwin Cook, 6-3, and Jose Slaughter, 6-4. Portland, and the other fastbreaking conference teams, will be aided by two WCAC innovations: a 45- second clock and counting player control fouls as team, rather than personal infractions. The time limit is not in effect during the final five minutes or overtime peri- ods. "That's going to hurt be- cause most of the other teams are quicker, and have a lot more talent than we do," he admitted. "I think the race will be between USF, Portland, Seattle and Pepperdine." As for his Toreros? "I'm not a very good prophet. We'll just take the games one at a time." Like any underdog. • • •

tournament. All they can do now is win the conference. Dan Belluomini, in his sec- ond year as head coach, has probably the league's top player in forward Guy Williams (6-8), and several other outstanding young- sters in Billy Reid (6-5), Wallace Bryant (7-0) , Quin- tin Dailey (6-3), Raymond McCoy (6-1), and Mike Rice (6-7). The 9-1 Dons have depth (Bart Bowers, David Cornelius, and John Hegwood), speed, size, and just about everything else. They should even survive the loss of All-America Bill Cartwright. Seattle- In Jawann Old- ham, a 7-0 senior, the Chief- tains have the best center in the conference, and one of the best guards in Carl Ervin (6-1). They also have size up front with forwards Bernard Hill (6-8) and Scott Copan (6-7), and depth with reserves Oliver Manuel (6- 6) and Larry Brooks (6-8). Ervin is the top scorer (19.4), followed by Oldham (16.2) and Tony Barnes (6.4). The Chieftains are only 2-5, but Coach Jack Schalow thinks it's just a , matter of time before they're in a class with the conference powers.

have turned it around and won seven straight. New Coach Jim Harrick, an as- sistant last year to UCLA's Gary Cunningham, has plenty of talent in guards Ricardo Brown (6-1) and Roylin Bond (6-2), forward Tony Fuller (6-4), and plen- ty of height in Scott McCol- lum (6-9) and Brett Barnett (7-0). Brown and Fuller are averaging 20 points per .game while shooting 55 per- cent. Consensus is that Pep- perdine, runnerup last year, will be right up there with Portland, USF and -Seattle. Portland- Although the Pilots have lost three straight (to Hawaii, Pacif- ic, and Fresno State), they have three outstanding players in Cook, Raivio and Slaughter. They Jack a dominating center, but could still be the team rep- resenting the WCAC in post-season competition. St. Mary's- Bill Oates, former coach of Athletes- In-Action, takes over a

Jim Brovelli, the ~r- sity of San Diego basketball coach, laughed when one of his :!Ssistants bemoaned the recent Chargers loss against the Houston Oilers. "I told you guys not to count the Oilers out,'' he said. "They've got a good defense, a lot of depth, and besides,·' he grinned, "I like the underdog." You knew there had to be a reason. Brovelli, whose Toreros begin West Coast Athletic Conference competition to- night at 8 at the University of Portland, are like the Oilers - obvious under- dogs. Only they don't have the luxury of a recovering Dan Pastorini and Earl Campbell on their roster. Or even a Rob Carpenter, for that matter. Not this year, anyway. Instead, the 1980 Toreros are a healthy, but dwin- dling group of players who have some obvious disad- vantages on the morn of thei, first-ever conference game. Since the season began, Yfil)..has: -Lost starting center Joe Evans, formerly the team's leading scorer and rebounder. because of aca- demic inehgibility. -Lost potential starting forward Paul Appleby, a 6-5 junior transfer from Cen- tral Arizona, with a knee injury. -Had to adjust its of- fense considerably, moving forward Bob Bartholomew to center, and junior col- 1ege transfer Brad Levesque from a reserve to starting role. "There 's no question about it, this could be a very long season," Brovelli said, noting tile current 3-4 record. "We'll be the small- est team in the conference, and without Evans, we lack bulk in the middle." Without Evans, USD starts a front line comprised of the 6-7 Bar- tholomew (16.3 points and 9.6), 6-7 Levesque (3.6 and 3.9), and 6-5 small forward Russell Jackson (8.9 and 3.0). The teams' strength, thus far, has been the backcourt of Earl Pierce (15.0 points) and Mike Stockalper (10.4). Pierce, in particular, has come on after a slow start. But the Pilots, 6-4, ap-

The University at San Die~D had an uneventful trip to the Northwest, where the Toreros lost to Portland Thursday night and then were pasted Saturday ~y Seattle 99-76. Russell Jackson's 22 points paced llfill which now stands 0-2 in West Coast Athletic Conference play and 3-6 overall. The Toreros are back in town this week to battle St. Mary's in a league contest at the Sports Arena Wednesday night at 7:30, Point Loma College reached the finals of its Point Loma Invitational tournament only to be turned back by Biola, 61-52 Saturday night. The Crusaders (10-7), who were behind most of the way, were led by Jim Freeman and Mark Peyton, who collected 11 points apiece. U.S. International University (3-7) knew it was in for a rough time Saturday agamst Boston University (7-1) and the visitors lived up to their billing, thumping the Gulls 111-80. USIU, which will play the first of five straight road games Wednesday night at Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, was paced by Presnell Gilbert's 24 points. UCSD lost to Northridge 87-76 last night, a defeat that brought the Tritons record to 7-7. In junior college action Saturday, San Diego City and P~omar got off to good starts in Mission Conference play as the Kmghts (9-2) whipped Chaffey 96-81 behind Zack Jones' 40 pomts, and Palomar (7-8) upended Citrus 82-74 as Terry Jones tossed in 34. Another Mission Conference member, Southwestern, was not as fortunate as the Apaches (3-6) dropped their league opener, 97-89, to powerful Riverside, despite Harold Meredith's 21 points. Meanwhile, Grossmont College opened South Coast Conferertr play Saturday and the Griffins found the going tough, as they dropped a 114- 93 decision to Santa Ana . The Gi'iffs were paced by center M~rk Price, who scored 32 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. In Desert Conference action, MiraCosta College opened league play on a sour note osing to Mt. San Jacinto 70-64. Mesa College, another outh Coast Conference member, was idle Saturday following its 85-83 nonleague loss to Golden West Frfday. The Olympfans opPn league play Wednesday night when they-play host to Grossmont.

If someone had told Dave Gaines a week ago that his San Diego State basketball team would be going for its third straight Western Athletic Conference win tomorrow night, the coach probably would have ushered that person to the nearest doctor. After all, the Aztecs were 3-7 heading into their WAC opener against Colorado State Thursday night and had showed no signs of pulling out of their slump. So quite a few people were surprised when the San Diegans played well and defeated the Rams 86-71. Then, Saturday night, the Aztecs found themselves underdogs once

"We're playing better - much better. We're working hard, that's the key. If you play hard in practice, you play hard in games, and we've been doing that." The Aztecs got off to a horrible start against Wyoming, falling behind 9-0 in the early going. But the hosts scrambled back to make it respectable - 29-25 - at the break. · It was then that Gaines decided to go to his young team in the second half. He had freshmen Eddy Gordon, Eddie Morris and Paul McKimmey up front, with juniors Tony Gwynn and Joe Mendoza in the backcourt. With that group playing most of the way, the Aztecs rallied to bury the Cowboys. Mendoza had 15 points to lead the way, followed by Gwynn's 14 and 12 assists and Gordon's 13 points and game-high 12 rebounds.
