Torero gridders finish 6-5 _"It was the biggest wm of the year, and probably the seven years I have been here" said head coach Bill Williams of the University of San Diego's 10-7 upset of St. Mary's in the gliders' season finale. The win brought the Toreros season record to 5-5 plus a victory over Edwards Air Force Base brings their final accounting to 6-5. The defensive units of both squads were ex- cellent. The Gaels could not score in the first quarter even after spending their first

USD Lookin Brovelli Expecting an Im By STEVE DOLAN, Times Staff Writer SAN DIEGO-Jim Brovelli calmly sits back in his chair and relaxes during an interview. It tells a lot about his approach to basketball. With the regular season ahead, the University of San Diego head coach could be excused for being on edge. But the characteristic simply doesn't fit Brovelli. In- stead, he reacts to situations the same way he expects his players to-with patience and realistic attitude. There's no question patience wlll be required from Brovelli's team in 1980-81. The Toreros were just 6-19 a year ago, losing their last 10 games. Three Years In Playoffs Before last season, USO had been to the NCAA Divi- sion II playoffs three years in a row. However, Brovelli and his team got what they asked for in 1979-80. The Toreros made the difficult jump from Division II to Divi- sion I, joining the basketball-oriented West Coast Ath- letic Conference. It might have seemed like one small step on paper, but it was one giant leap on the basketball court. Concerning the current season, Brovelli is asking his team to take a realistic approach. He admits a WCAC championship may still be a few years away. "It took us time to be successful in Division II," Brovelli said. "It's certainly going to take time to be successful in Division I. We know it's not going to hap- pen overnight. We want to be patient and realistic." Hrovelli, beginning his eighth year at the USD helm, isn't pushing things. He's looking for his team to make the adjustment from Division II to Division I at a steady pace without trying to reach unrealistic goals immedi- ately. The original goal of a year ago was simply to be re- spectable in the WCAC. The Toreros did have their moment by beating Pepperdine, a team that eventually advanced to the National Invitation Tournament. However, the team's overall play in conference was not what had been hoped for. This year, Brovelli again says he wants his team to be respected in the WCAC. But he is also asking that the team be successful. Maybe Out of Reach By success, he's not necessarily talking about reach- ing any certain number of Wins. Predictions, Brovelli says, only put undue pressure on the kids to try to reach an obstacle that might not be attainable. "I judge success in more ways than the record," Brovelli said. "You also have to be concerned with the progress of each individual and how well you represent the university. I guarantee we will be competitive. Peo- ple will know USO is in the conference." Indeed, identity has always been a problem for the Toreros. As a Division II independent until last year, the team wasn't well known outside of the local area. The Toreros also faced somewhat of a local recognition problem, living in the shadow of San Diego State. By Joining the WCAC, USD has gained instant recog- nition on the West Coast. The WCAC has schools in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Spokane

three series on USD's s_ide of the fifty-yard line. Mark Kelegian finally put the Toreros on the scoreboard with a 32-yard field goal in the second quarter. The Gaels came back after halftime to take a 7-3 margin on a 55-yard run by fullback Craig Breland. It was two plays into the fourth quarter when USO went ahead for good as quarterback Tun Call ran seven yards off left tackle while on a quarterback option play. bad a fine day in his . fmal game, com- pletmg 17 of 29 passes for 172 yards. Joe Henry led the :ushers with 55 yards m 22 carries .
