pointed at the low visibility of their fans. "It was different in Pasadena," said George Stephano, a Washing- ton, D.C. native. "There were so many more Redskins fans." Stephano has been to all three Super Bowls in which his team has played. He was reveling in San Diego's temperate climate. When his plane took off Thursday, it was in the 20s. Some San Diegans worried their city might seem too idyllic to the tourists. "I hope it rains so people won't move here," said Stacey Johnson from Mission Beach. One family decided to make the party productive as well as fun. Martha Stillwell of El Cajon passed out several petitions, while her two children, wearing sand• wich boards around their necks, advertised their house, which they hope to rent for Super Bowl week- end.

For the most part, it was a sea of orange, as Bronco fans displayed colorful hats, sweatshirts and oth- er paraphernalia. A smattering of Redskins fans were also present, though less visible. The apparent highlight of the night was an impressive fireworks and laser spectacular, hawked as the greatest fireworks and laser show San Diego has ever seen. Py- rotechnic experts from eight dif- ferent countries worked together to create the multi-colored display.

Two fireworks barges with 135,000 pounds of sand, 54 miles of wire and cable, 5,500 pounds of ex- plo ives, and several tons of sup- port equipment were used for the fireworks show.

For many, the party was the on- ly opportunity to be involved in the uper Bowl. Three University of San Diego students, calling them• selve an alternative to the Three Amigos, in reference to the nick- name given to·the Bronco's wide receivers, were decked out in Red- skin and Bronco jerseys. "We're just out here to have a good time," said John Rothstein, a USD senior. "We don't care who w1nr,,rr1ong as they beat the point spread." Ru sell Coulter of El Cajon, a native of Washington D.C., said this is his opportunity to be a part of the hoopla. "I'll be spending game day in front of the tube," Coulter said. John Beukelman and his wife Arlyce drove down from Escondido for the evening. "Since we won't be making it to the game, this is a good opportuni- ty to get involved," said Beukel- man. Fans from Denver andWashing- ton, D.C., were all pleased with the mild San Diego evening. Bronco fans had left 2 feet of snow behind. One Denver fan, sporting bright orange sunglasses, orange hat and Bronco football jersey, happily looked around at the large crowd. "I'm just drinking a little Colora- do Kool-aid to amuse myself," said Mike Hardin of Aurora, Colo., who is especially proud to share his name with a Denver Bronco. "I love the music and the weather and the crowd." Len and Jan Spirek, of Brecken- ridge, Colo., are planning their vic- tory party at Mr. A's restaurant with friends Joe and Kay Lane. "We' re not being smug, of course," said Mrs. Spirek. Redskins fans seemed disap-

With ~uch mexpenence, the Toreros have strug- gled this season. They played well at times in building a 8-5 non-conference record, but have yet to register in the win column through five WCAC games. Overall, at 8-10, the level of play has been incon- sistent and far below the standard Egan has set in his first three years at the Aleala Park campus. 'We've been-in games we should have won and haven't' - Danny Means Egan's. record since his arrival was 59-26 going tnto this, a considerable rebuilding year .for the Toreros Means, however, has been a bright spot. He has re~ponded to the role of corer by averaging 13.3 J>?lnls per g~me; In co~ference play, including Wednesday nights 22-point performance against St Mary's, lie is averaging better than 15 points. A for his changing role from follower to lealler Means is now the duct through which Egan ven~ h1 fru trations. And he accepts that. "I'm looked at in a different sen e than I was last year," said Means. "We have a relationship where he knows he can put me in a situation, and he knows how I will re pond Being the captain, he knows how to tell me something so that everyone else will get the

message. I'm the example." The difficult part for Means is in accepting the fact• t_hat thi~ ~s a very young team, by far the most mexper1enced in the conference. ~id ~eans, "rou can tell by the way we react to situations. We ve been in games we should have won and haven't. Last year, when it was time, we knew what we had to do. "An experienced team would tend to stick with the things they do well. An inexperienced team tends to fall apart. There's a fine line between winning and losing and we haven't been able to cross it." Case in point would be their latest loss. Trailing 4;-4o to St. Mary's, the Toreros had the ball with nme seconds remaining, and Means had been suc- cessful shooting from the outside. The 6-foot-l guard h~d poured in 15 second-half points to help cut an eight-point deficit. USD could not get it to Means for the final shot. The Toreros did not win the game. "He's a little frustrated," said Egan. "Last year . we oper~!ed at a certain level of efficiency.

been talked about will make the big play in the game." Gibbs speaks from experience. In.the Redskins' last Super Bowl, a 38-9 loss to the Los Angeles Raid- ers, the two biggest plays were made by Raiders unknowns Der- rick Jensen and Jack Squirek. Jen- sen blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown and Squirek returned an intercep'. tion for a score. By the way, Gibbs offered no guesses as to who Sunday's hero might be. Several people who will play a part in Sunday's game were trapped Friday when morning when an elevator at the Marriott got stuck between third and fourth floor for 65 minutes Among those on t he elevator were ABC's Frank Gifford and Dan Dierdorf, Super Bowl XXII referee Bob McElwee, fie ld judge Johnny Grier, side judge Don Wedge, alternate Ben Montgom- ery and NFL supervisor of officials Art McNally. /-

"He missed our meeting and missed our practice, but we expect him to feel better by (today). If not, that could weigh in our final decision on which 45 players we activate."

But, Gibbs added, "I am going to talk to George one more time. I'll talk to him (today) and see exactly how he feels." If Rogers is unable to start he will be replaced by rookie Ti~my Smith. The Redskins will hold a walk-through practice today. Much of the hype this week has of course centered around the "big-name" players for both Den- ver and Washington.
