The Waves, boasting four starters from the team that won the Western Collegiate Athletic Conference title last year, traded leads with the Toreros several times before grabbing a 44-34 halftime lead and never trailed from that point. Mark Teismann scored 15 points and Russ Cravens 14 but could not offset the 25- points tossed in by Bob War- lick and two mates who also hit th<' double figures. The Waves won the game on the backboards as they grabbed off 65 rebounds to only 28 for USO. The Waves also managed numerous more shots from . the field, putting down 31 of 79 attempts while USD was collecting 23 baskets in 58 shots. USD continues on the road for its next engagement against Whittier College on the Poets' court Saturday night.
