Without aWord, Museum Will MixMusic and Film I f lm1tatlon IS one of the choicer modes of flattery then the San Diego Sympho.~y should feel duly flattered. The populanty of its 2-year-old .Nickelodeon" series, which has brought a numb r of_cla 1c silent films to life with period orchestral accompaniment. has encouraged the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art to expenment with a similar format Saturday night at Sherwood Auditorium the muse~ will present Buster Keaton's 1926 silent film, "The General," ccompanjed by the San Diego Cine-phonic theater orchestra nd r the baton of Eric Behelm. "Cops," a shorter film also b Keaton, will accompany "The General."

i\zusa with wing offense

mostly because the Toreros have nearly mastered the Wing T. Fogarty installed the offense last year. It relies on mis- direction - and an effective fttllback. Last night, it produced 382 yards. Azusa Pacific finished with 133 yards. "I can't think of a time when we played better, though the victory in 1987 against UC Santa Barbara comes to mind," Fo- garty said. "The people I talked to said it takes two years for the Delaware Wing T to click, and it did tonight. Said Murphy, a junior: "I realized we could be good, because we have our offen- sive line back, and they're good. This was about as well as we have played." Eight players caught passes for USO, led by Todd Jackson with three for 43 yards. The Toreros played host o Whittier College next Saturday at 7:30.

USD's defense, a supposed weak spot, got the ball back quickly, though, and Murphy capped a 43-yard drive with a 5- yard touchdown run. Later in the quarter, Dave Bergmann's 20-yard field goal made it 10-0. In the third quarter, USD fumbled a punt, and Azusa took advantage. Running back Tommy Daniel ran 26 yards for a TD, making it 17-6 with 12:48 left. But the Toreros' Murphy capped a 73- yard drive with a 5-yard TD pass to Mike Hintze. Junior defensive back Darryl Jackson made several key plays that kept Azusa Pacific from getting back into the game. He recovered two fumbles (one by a teammate), made an interception and stopped Adam Gonzaga on fourth-and-2 with 2:11 left in the third quarter. Azusa Pacific seemed unsure as lo where the football was, Fogarty said,

'(The playoffs are) our ultimate goal ... We're probably one of four or five teams in California capable of going.' - Brian Fogarty, USD football coach probably one of four or five teams in California capable of going," Fogar- ty said. Much of the optimism would fade if opponents figure out USD's offense which hardly features 11 AII-Ameri~ cans. Though it had faced USO last year, Azusa Pacific was bamboozled by all the misdirection of the wing-T Saturday and found its size advan- tage useless. To be sure, the Toreros are smoother on offense this season said .junior quarterback Brendan Mu~phy, who completed 14 of 21 passes for 192 yards Saturday. Still, upcoming op- ponents will be better prepared for the USO offense, Fogarty said. In years past, Whittier has slowed USD's offense, and seven defenders return from last year's team. Hoover High graduate Gaylan Sweet, a slot- back, led the Poets in receiving (31 catches, 276 yards) and rushing (181- 618). Other key returnees are senior quarterback Mike Haney (5-foot-8, 170; 1,343 yards, 10 touchdowns) and Jumor wide receiver Russell Goo. ~aney missed most of last year's game, won by USD, 21-6, because of an injury. The Poets were 3-6 last year and have yet to play this season. USO sophomore linebacker Dan Chandler (shoulder) is doubtful and would be replaced by sophomore Lenny Territo.

The city that likes to call itself America's finest can take heart: at least one of its football teams played well in an opener. . The University of San Diego, play- mg before a near-capacity home crowd of 3,827, beat favored Azusa Pacific, 24-6, Saturday. The Toreros play host to the Poets of Whittier College tomorrow night at 7:30. Were USO a prominent football program, effusive· columns might have been written about its perform- ance Saturday night. The Toreros using the Delaware wing-T offense' outgained their bigger but confused opponent in the first half, 275-47. The Cougars were rated as California's top small-college team in preseason reports. They have 16 starters back from a team that last year went 7-1 and beat USO, 14-13. Is USD really that good? "I think we surprised them a lit- tle," said Coach Brian Fogarty, who had_ lost all of his six previous games against Azusa Pacific. "I know Coac:1 (Jim) Milhon was a bit concerned about that before the game. But you can talk all you want - sometimes players don't listen. "I think once we got up on them it was good for our players. I don't know that we are 18 points better. Probably not. It was one of those games where everything kind of went right." It will have to be that sort of sea- son if USD is to make the NCAA Di- vision III playoffs for the first time. Only 16 of 217 teams are selected. Because the West Region has the most teams, USO could go undefeat- ed and still not be one of the region's four qualifiers, Fogarty said. "It's our ultimate goal . .. We're
