CLUTCH

First Baseman Rick Baker receives toss from fellow infielders for a sure out.

zalez are both Brietbard All-Stars. Drafted by the New York Yankees last year, David will switch from short– stop position to second this year. John will work at third base. Backing up the infielders will be Shasta College's AII-Leager Bob Kivley, a three-letterman in high school, at home at just about all the positions on the diamond and is used as the utility man in the infield. Clairemont High's Dwayne Lawson, a Brietbard All– Star also, Dwayne will work out as back up catcher. The outfield consists of Ted Pecot, Dave Agosto. Rene Chevalier, and Chuck Rutledge. Dave will be the starting centerfielder and comes to USO from San Diego City College where he hit at a .390 clip last season. Rene Chevalier, a football and baseball letterman at Grossmont JC last year, is proving a great addition to the Torero squad. Ted Pecot comes to USO from Los Angeles, where he was All-League in basketball and baseball at Lincoln High. Coaching the pitchers this year for the University of San Diego is Chuck Leaf, a former standout athlete at California Western University. He was assistant baseball coach at Cal Western, and for the past three years has been an English teacher, baseball coach and an assistant in football at Escondido High School. Rone Bennett, a graduate of the University of San Diego in '65, is serving as a graduate assistant coach in baseball. Bennett played second base two years for the Toreros. He is pursuing graduate studies at USO which will lead to a Master's Degree in Education in June of this year. The schedule is just beginning as this volume goes to the press, but if the lineup of all-stars is any signal of ability and versatility, the Torero team will prove to be one of the finest in the history of an San Diego college or University.
