USD Claims arrow Win t Home They read the headlines like everyone else. But the one that caught the eye of University of San Diego football Coach Bill Wil- liams and the members of his team was Portland State's recent humiliation of Cal Poly Pomona. "The score was 93-7," said. Williams, "and it was on our minds all week. We were determined not to be em- barrassed like that by Sono- ma State.'' Embarrassed, they weren't. In fact, the Toreros, who entered yes- terday's game with a 3-5 record and an assortment of problems with their offense, were impressive in claim- ing a 14-7 win over the Cos- sacks, prev10usly 6-2. USO went ahead 6-0 m the second quarter on Tim Cali's 18-yard touchdown s to iercc· n ,uzman. ar e1 g1an s point-after attempt was wide right. Call, who finished with 11 completions in 21 attempts for 164 yards, had little trouble getting the ball to Guzman once he found him. But at 5-foot-5, Guzman is hardly an imposing target. He stood in the end zone for what seemed like min- utes before Call located him. Call found him seven other times this day, and the junior from Los Angeles wound up with 117 yards in receptions. USD's defense, mean- while, helped by 80 yards in penalties in the first-half, prevented the Cossacks from scoring. Time and again USD contained Sono- ma State rushers - or more specifically, rusher. Marek Wright, who trans- ferred to Sonoma State from U.S. International Uni- versity when the Gulls dropped football last spring, carried the ball on all but two running plays in the opening half.

Speed, personal qualities Ward pluses as future pro San Diego, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 1980 EVENING TRIBUNE C-5 By RONALD W. POWELL

has much to do with the fact he is from St. Louis. Hard, snow-bound winters prevented him from hav- ing the benefit of year-round play and the public schools he attended did not offer tennis as a team sport. But thanks to a family that avidly played tennis - his mother, father, two brothers and three sisters all played - Ward began frequenting neighborhood courts at age 9. However, at that time, his first loves were occer, basketball and baseball. His beginning years in tennis were casual but he soon chose to take up the racket as his chosen sport. "Tennis is an individual sport where you win or lose - you have no one to blame but yourself," said Ward, sitting in the bleachers at courtside at USD, his dark curly hair shining in the sun, his face show- ing the stubble of a couple of days' beard growth. "It's a good feeling when you win and a sour one when you lose," Watching emotionally charged televised duels between Borg and Jimmy Connors whetted his ten- nis appetite, Ward said, and he lived for the sum- mer tournaments held in the St. Louis area. Then, as now, he tried to keep his tennis playing in per- spective, now allowing it to control his life. "When I leave the court, I don't think, eat and dream playing tennis," Ward said. "I enjoy camping and riding my motorcycle. And I like going to the beach or having a few beers with the fellas." Before graduating from high school, he had de-

University of San Diego tennis Coach Ed Collins may stun you when discussing the speed of Terry Ward, a 21-year-old junior who is among the top players on a strong Torero team. · Collins will tell you that Ward is lightning-fast, but when he says how fast, you may have to do a double take. "Terry may be faster afoot than Bjorn Borg," Collins said. "He's so light, there's almost nothing to him and he can really get across the court." Now Borg, the young Swede whose on-court S!)et!d makes some liken him to a human backstop and most everyone rank him as the world's No. 1 player, still has a thing or two on Ward, Collins said. Besides the more than $1 million Borg banks annually, the pro champion has a better serve and backhand than Ward and, perhaps more important- ly, Ward is still catching up from a childhood that was not intensely devoted to the game. Still, Collins predicts that Ward, winner of the men's singles title in The Tribune Tennis Tourna- ment last month, has a shot at making the big circuit because of his personal qualities. "Terry is unique among tennis players because he is so self-motivated," Collins said. "He doesn't have a typical background like other top players, but he still has many of the mental skills that make a champ. He's got good temperament, handles mis- takes well and has a good head on his shoulders." The reason Ward's tennis roots are a bit different

voted enough time to tennis to make the Mcclennan Junior College tennis team in 1977-78. The next year, the Waco, Texas, school was ranked eighth nationally and Ward had much to do with that. His junior college performance was good enough fo earn a full scholarship at USD, bringing him to Southern California - "the tennis capital of the world," in Ward's book. Working toward a goal of playing on the pro circuit, Ward played in five tournaments last sum- mer for tennis players 21 and under. For the most part, players had to pay their way to the tourna- ments and Ward made the most of his investment, winning at Houston and at home with family mem- bers watching in St. Louis. After finishing runner-up in a third tournament, Ward returned here to play in The Tribune tourna- ment and continued his winning ways. He finished No. 1 from a field of 128. "I wanted that one real bad," he recalled, as if reliving the drama. "I was real tight and a little on the weak and queasy side the whole week (of the finals)." Even down to match point, he battled nervous- ness, Ward said. He batted away the butterflies, and won Ward says the victory was a confidence builder, the elects of which he hopes will carry over into the Tirero season, which begins after the first of the ye1r.
