giate skiing, wluch consists of the giant slalom and sla- lom, Alpine racing also in- eludes the downhill. With the upcoming Olymp1cs in mind, here's a brief sum- mary of the three events: SLALOM- The gates in a slalom course are set only meters apart in a zig-zag fashion. There are fewer gates than m the giant sla- ; lorn, and the turns are usu- 1 ally shorter and quicker. : The basic strategy, as in all 1 three disciplines, is to record the lowest time pos- ' sible in each of the competi- tor's two runs. At Lake Placid, the men's slalom will contain up to 75 gates and be ap- proximately 500 meters I long. The women's run will consist of fewer gates (50) I and be considerably shorter (350 meters). The top slalom skiers this season have be .n Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark and Phil Mahre of the United States. GIANT SLALOIU- The giant slalom is a longer, faster course, with fewer gates for both men and women. Skiers average around 40 miles per hour as opposed to 10-20 in the sla- lom. Like the slalom, the winner of this event has the best combined time in two separate courses. The favorites here- in- clude Stenmark, Mahre, and Peter Lescher or Swit- zerland. DOWNHILL- This may be the most exciting, but it's also the most dangerous event. Racers reach speeds in excess of 85 miles per hour. The downhill at Lake Placid is much longer than either of the slalom events: 3,028 meters for the men and 2,694 for women. And because of the high speeds involved, this event can be affected and even post- poned by extremely cold or foggy weather. Ken Read of Canada, Peter Winsberger of Ger- many and Peter Mueller of -Switzerland are the top

The people in San Diego State's athletic office are unaware of it, but the Az- tecs. do indeed have a ski raring team. So do UCSD and USD for that matter. The three local schools are members of the Califor- ma Intercollegiate Ski As- sociation - one of eight regional units sanctioned by the National Collegiate Ski Association. Other universities which participate in the by.- monthly races at June Mountain and Mountain High include USC, last season's overall winner, Claremont, Orange Coast College, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal State Northridge. But they do 1t almost anonymously. Who has heard of Gina Fogel, Cal State l\orthridge's best? Or USC's Curt Walther? "Not too many people," Ken Scnpsma, Cf A pr~i- dent, admitted. "But we've come a long way since the organization was founded 10-12 years ago. The schools only had club teams then." San Diego State was one of those schools, and until recently, so were USD and UCSD. But now, according to Scripsma, the Aztecs usually have fairly large teams (approximately 25-30 members) while the squads at UCSD and USll.. are smaller but increasing weekly All of the universities are producing better skiers, however. How much better 1s another question. "Our skiers range from 1ntermediates without any racing experience to ad- vanced who have done quite a bit of competitive skiing," ~cripsma said. "And it's very possible that we'll qualify someone for the Olympics one of these days." Besides Fogel and Walth- er, other skiers to watch are Jo Anne Swan (UCSB) Dagmar Keilback (UCLA), Rosie Hughes and John Gothard (DCC), Tom McKinnon (USC), Mike Laugs (Claremont) and Andy Litman (Northridge) All are expected to com pete in the Jan. 19-20 races at ountain High. * * • In contrast to intercolle- •

It was Santa Clara's turn to wreak havoc with the new kids on the block as the visiting Broncos broke open a close game early in the second half to post an easy 94-75 ' decision at the Sports Arena. The Broncos are now 3-1 in the WCAC, while the To- reros fell to 0-4 and must now hit the road for three tough conference games at Loyola, Pepperdine and San Francis. co. Despite the Toreros' slipping fortunes, Coach Jim Brovelli has managed to keep both his sense of humor and perspective. "I guess its safe to say we're not going to win the WCAC this year," Brovelli said with a smile. "Seriously, we hav to be honest with ourselves. I hope we can be a factor and knock somebody off. "We know at home we almost have lo play a perfect game to win in this conference, and when you're as thin as we are, it's hard to do that for 40 minutes." For a while, the Toreros did play very well. After Santa Clara jumped to a 19-8 lead, patiently whittled away al the margin behind the inside play of Bob Bartholomew and the outside shooti.ilg of Mike Stockalper, closing to within two before Santa Clara boosted its lead to six at halftime. The Toreros scored the first six points of the second half to tie the score at 42, and appeared ready to take Santa Clara to the wire. But Bartholomew picked up his fourth foul with 13:56 left, and a three-point Bronco lead swelled to 10 in the next 70 seconds. With Bartholomew out, UJD, went to its three-guard of- fense, and the Broncos quic y took advantage and put the game out of reach. "Anytime Bobby or Brad (Levesque) get in foul trouble, we're really limited," Brovelli said. "Other teams can see that." . Even with both Bartholomew and Levesque in the lineup, Q,~ had trouble containing 6-8 forward Kurt Rambis, w o had 16 points at halftime and led all scorers with 25. Rambis played 29 minutes, despite suffering from the flu, and was nine of 15 from the floor with_ eight rebounds.

After threatening to blow out the Toreros in the open- ing minutes, Santa Clara (3-1 and 7-6 overall) had to hold off USQ. just before halftime, and twice in the second half. Taking advantage of some early turnovers and poor shooting, the Broncos took and held an eight-to-JO point lead for most of the initial half.
