In the longer run, coach Dick Logan figures his Toreros are way ahead. "We told the lids all week last week that before our program reaches _a le_vel of respect, we were going to have to beat some people we were not supposed to beat," Logan said. The Toreros reached that milestone, he feels, with a solid 10-0 decision Saturday night over a squad they defi- nitely were not supposed to beat, Azusa Paeific. The Cougars were unbeat- en in five games prior to Saturday, had the NAIA's 14th-best defense against the rush and the 10th-best ground attack. Azusa did in fact win the statistical battle, with 385 total yards to USD's 291, but the visitors could not get the ones they needed most against the fired-up Toreros. Twice, on a Jong run and a long pass, they penetrated the Torero 10, but fumbled on both occasions and USD recovered both.

fourth period, trailing 7-0, and needing a yard to stay alive at the USO 40, fullback Kraig Stovall was slammed backwards by the Torero de- fenders. Five minutes later, Bob Myers' 32-yard field goal gave USO a 10-0 lead, and the Toreros secondary spent the rest of the game herding Cougar re~ivers in the mid- dle of the field. USO took a 7-0 lead in the first period on freshman run- ning back Terry Frank's 21- yard run and made it stand up until halftime by twice forcing and recovering Azusa fumbles inside the Torero 10. Frank's run, a bouncing journey around the left flank after the primary hole closed up, finished off a tidy 58-yard drive that took only five plays: Runs of 11 and one yards by fullback Kenny Wright, an lS-yard bootleg keeper by Monica and John Butler's eight-yard burst, the latter setting up the TD play.

Fi· e ks ago, the 5-7, 155-p:mn graduate of Palm Spring pnngs High was a four.h tringer. "He always had speed (4.6 for the 40) but he never really had the arm," Logan said. "But he kept working on it, he worked hard, and he kept getting better and bet- ter." And USD's offense contin· ued to sputter as the Toreros' record slid to 1-3. Then Monica got the call against Po o a-Pitzer and presto, the Toreros scored 41 points in the first half. Admittedly, Pitzer was a poor team. "But we still played very well in that game," Logan argued. Monica and his mates proved that Saturday night with a man-in-motion attack that operated with flair against the vaunted Cougar defense. Monica ran for 60 yards - high ror the Toreros - and completed six passes for another 104 yards. "We are very encouraged with what he has done," Logan said of his new field general, the third one to start for USD this season. "He has made us more ex- plosive, and also gives us the ability to control the ball. "We can do so many more things now." That last judgment could be expanded to include the team as a whole. "I've known all along that we had a pretty fair team, but the kids had to learn how to win against good teams," Logan said. "That's exactly what happened the other night. Everybody did things they hadn't done before." He was particularly en- thused with the defenders. "I saw Azusa play twice before," he said, "and they have a fine offense. I never dreamed we could hold them

"But how~ver they word it, we'.11 take it to our faculty athletic committee and they'll act on it," he said, refening to an official letter of notification that Burke was obliged to post to Azusa yesterday. Hamiow thought the offi- cial action might come by Friday. "There's nothing to dis- cuss, really," Sconce said in a telephone interview. "A rule was violated. It's just like. a 15-yard penalty. If it costs you the game, then that's the way it is." "Of course, I'•m sorry for the (USD) kids," he added. "The kids are always the ones that suffer, and that's sad." Torero coach Dick Logan said he told his players of the situation last night and that they did not take it too hard "If Pieracci had scored twice, it would be a little different," Logan said. "But it's our victory, and we'll take it. Our kids beat them, and they can't take that away from us." The forfeit would drop USD's season record to 2-4. After the game, Logan called the victory the biggest in his two-year tenure at USD.

The Toreros discovered they had used an ineligible player, a running back who carried the ball only once and played on the punting team. The player involved was not a factor in the Toreros' big upset but USD athletic director Tom Burke was obligated to offer a forfeit. "We'll take it," said Azusa Pacific coach Jerry Sconce,

University of San Diego coach Dirk Logan isn't crymg over the ract that USO officials have offered to forfeit last Saturday's 10-0 win over Azusa Pacific. And although Azusa coach Jerry Sconce already considers the game forfeited because USO used an ineli- gible player it cannot be considered m the book · until notification proce- dures are satisfied. Th ineligible player is Mitch Pi- eracc1, a member of the punting team, who was found not to be · rrylng th minimum number of cla for ehg1bility. "Our k ds beat them, and they can't take that away from us " Logan said. ' Logan said he informed his play- ers of the situation last night and they apparently did not takP it too hard. But Awsa, -undefeated until the USD up t, would bP happy to have th~ wm any way it can be attained. Sconce said his team ls in the runn n for NATA postseason play and lands to finish the season with a 10-0 or 9-1 record Azusa plays the o.l rankrd (NAIA) Cal Lutheran ov t, Th forfeit would drop USD's record to 2-4.

Logan, whose team meets cross- town rival U.S. International Univer- sity Saturday in USO Stadium at 2 p.m., said the victory over Azusa was his "biggest in his two-year tenure at USD. "It's our victory and we'll take it " Logan said. · But Azusa 's athletic director Chff Hamlow looks at it m a different hght. "If you violate a rule, you forfeit," he said, apparently an- noyed at USD's "offer" lo forfeit. Hamlow said he would ake the matter to his faculty athletic com- mittee.

While the Aztecs feverishly sought a ruling on the questionable eligibility, El Paso athletic director Jim Bowden was asked if he would press for or accept a forfeit. "The game's gone," he said. "They know they won it, we know we Jost it, and that's all that matters. I'm sure that if they used an ineligible player, it was an inadvertent thing We certainly won't make an issue of it." It turned out the Aztec players were, indeed, eligible and a forfeit was never offered. But Bowden gained immeasur- ably, to my way or thinking, in the way he reacted to the situation. He didn't want something El Paso didn't earn, even if it meant taking some heat off himself for his team's inept performance. Azusa Pacific's Faculty Athletic Committee will vote on whether to accept lJ SD's offer and a decision is expected by F rlday, At that time, Azusa might techmcally sport a 6-0 record. But it will be nothing to brag about.
