The Son Oiego Union I Jomes 51\ovmond Jim Brovelli, who was named to the basketball hall of fame at USF, talks shop at practice yesterday at USO.
Unspo en, s 1 e ween the lines, is the sentiment that Jim Brovelli is the man who can restore credibility to the Golden Gate campus. His name was mentioned in May of 1980, when athletic director and coach Don Bel- !uomini was fired for "re- cruiting irregularities." Brovelli is quick to point out that USF never goes outside its program for its coaches, always promoting from within. He will not ad- dress the possibility of his returning to USF. Lo Schiavo will. "Jim is the sort of guy who has everything going for him as a coach," Lo Scluavo said. "He's a gentle- man. He has everything in the right direction, as far as having academics be the first priority. I know from personal experience he takes a personal interest in his athletes. He also knows his basketball. I think he's the kind of guy any school would be proud to have on

USD ends 'Year of Turnover' Torero gridders drop finale to St. Mary's

quarter, St. Mary's had broken on top at 7·0. With their offense now on a roll, the Gaels waste little time in adding to their margin. On their very next series, the visitors embarked on a 79-yard excursion for another score. Half-back White, ;_.,,ho was instrwnental on the march with his rushing and receiving, capped the trek goalward with a nifty five-yard slant off right tackle. With 2:03 remaining in the first stanza, St, Mary's now led 14-0. It was at this stage that both defenses reall began to control the line of scrimmage and the likelyhood of any additional scoring during the initial 30 minutes seemed rather remote. However, late in the second quarter, Sweet and company finally began to generate some ex· citement. After taking over at midfield, the Toreros rapidly sped downfield on the strength on thre€ successive Sweet passes, two of which were snare by Mike Rish. Then, on a first and goal situation from the 7, Sweet sidestepped a heavy rush, sprinted to his left and hit tight end Mitch Greene near the center oj the end zone. Greer.e's touchdown grab, whic came with just 43 seconds showing on th scoreboard clock, had sliced the Torero deficit t 14-7. Unfortunately for the Toreros, Gael Andre Hardy, a Hoover High graduate, returned the ensuing kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. Hardy's jaunt gave St. Mary's a 21-7 lead at halftime. While teams of lesser character might have been devastated by Hardy's run, the Toreros gamely tried to regain the momentwn on their first possession of the third quarter. Following a 32-yard punt return by Phil Spencer that positioned them in Gael territory, the Toreros eventually moved to the St. Mary's 19 before stalling. The locals then summoned the ever-dependable Bob Lozzi, who nailed a field goal from 29 yards out to narrow the Gael lead to 21·10. The kick was Lozzi's 11th successful three-pointer of the season and enabled him to tie the school record in that category for the second straight year.

Toreros Tune Up Against Alberta The team m the white uniforms tonight will be the University of San Diego. It will be comforting for Torero basketball fans to koow that, because they might other- wise fail to recognize the people representing USD. The team's roster includes six newcomers, three of whom will be in the starting lineup when the San Diegans meet the University of Alberta in an exhibition at 7:30 in the USD Sports Center. Tonight's game will be the Toreros' lone tuneup before opemng the regular season Saturday night against Air Force. USD fans will have no problem identifying guard Rich Davis and center Robby Roberts. Davis was a starter and Roberts a regular last year, when the Toreros finished 11- 15. The rest of the starting lineup will be new. The forwards will be Mike Whitmarsh, a 6-foot-6 trans- fer from Gro: ·mont College, and Dave Mciver. a 6-8 transfer from Cypress. Joining Davis at guard will be Bill Penfold a 6-5 transfer from Glendale. Coach Jim Brovelli. who must mold these newcomers mto a smooth-running unit, is pleased to have an exhibi- tion game on the schedule. "We didn·t have one last year, but with a veteran team we didn"t really need one,' Brovelli said. "This year, with a lot of new faces. we probably do. We gain one game of experience before we open the season, and we think that should help." USD will not be a big team Roberts, the center, is 6- foot-7 but Brovelli suspects the Toreros will compen- sate for their relative lack of size. "With no big center, you have to rely on each other for defense and rebounding, but we're used to that," he said. ''We've been there before." Alberta may be leg-weary tonight. The Golden Bears played games at Utah State Saturday night and Stanford last night. They will meet U.S. International University tomorrow night at Mira Mesa High. - Bill Finley
Quite inadvertently, the USD football team has :ome up with its own personal addition to the Chinese calendar. Call it the Year of the Turnover. Saturday afternoon, as they have done on numerous occasions during the 1982 campaign, the Toreros played fast and loose with the football. And, because of this frustrating tendency to beat themselves, USD suffered its fifth defeat in the past six outings. This time the beneficiaries of the error-prone Toreros were the St. Mary's Gaels, who capitalized on many of the miscues en route to a 31-10 win over USD before a disappointed homecoming crowd of 4,000 at Alcala Park. The season-ending loss dropped coach Bill William's troops under the breakeven point at 4-5 and provided a bitter conclusion to a year that began so auspiciously when the Toreros jwnped from the gate with three consecutive wins. Early in the first quarter it became all too evident that the Toreros would be hampered by the giveaway. On the very first possession, USD quarterback Eric Sweet had his pass into coverage deflected by defensive back Ron Fadelli and subsequently intercepted by a diving Gardner Williams at the Gaels' 35-yard line. Fortunately for the Toreros, senior cornerback Craig Carlyle, who was a solid performer on defense, got the pigskin right back for the home team when he picked off Scott Ruiz's first passing attempt of the contest. But the offense continued to put USD into precarious positions. Two plays after the clutch Carlyle interception the usually reliable Sweet misfired badly when he overthrew his intended receiver and instead hit defensive back Dave Bortolin at the Torero 25. After four successive runs by jitterbug back Bryan White advanced the ball down to the USD 12, the Gaels hit for paydirt when Ruiz rolled to his left and drilled mammoth tight end Kent Jordan on a nice crossing attern. With 6:34 left in the first
