The combination of a Charger frand\ise, the San Diego Statc-USD ivalry and a new ii.ztec football coach should create as much excitement in Mission Valley as the ffc:io of l!ll6. It's a little early, of course, to gua:ra'n , delivery of Charger coach Sid Gillman for tli Mor dar 1unchcons but the prospects are excellent. • Gillman and h o s, yomlg Barron Hilton, ha,;e been fonnallv u\V a to meet with San Diego city and civic om<"ial~ as e,rly e6nvenient after Jan. 1.

Hilton nd Gill• man are ~o ke non 'he idea of moving to ~ao Diegq that, as a snurce close to lh<> dub explained it,, "They'd e willing to fly dll'ectly from Houston t.o San Diego after the tille game and start talking." There is confiden e that thE.' Charger will lose Jess money in San Diego th:m in Los Angeles. They might even break even. ln time, 1hcy'd figure to money.
