overs to hand the Bulldogs a 63-50
defeat Thursday night at Reno.

proved its record to 4-1 while stay¬
ing undefeated at home.
The Bulldogs converted on only
24 percent of their shots from the
floor during the first half.
In addition, the Bulldogs' three-
point shooting wasn't much better.
They converted only two of the 23
shots they took from behind the
three-point line for the game.
Offensively for the Bulldogs,
junior shooting guard Connie
Krueger scored nine points to lead
a meager Fresno State attack.
In addition, senior forward Janee
Young grabbed seven rebounds to
lead the Bulldogs.
Besides a wooful shooting and
careless handling of the ball, the
Bulldogs committed 22 fouls dur¬
ing the game. As a result, the Wolf
Pack took 27 shots from the free
throw line.
The Bulldogs had come into this
game after slipping two games in
the Fresno State Classic.
The Bulldogs lost to Southern

Long Beach starting today. •%
     By Luis Hernandez
The Daily Collegian
For Fresno State swimmers the
Speedo Cup is as big a meet as
they're going to compete in this
year.
And with reason.
Perennial powerhouses such as
UCLA. USC, BYU and Cal will all
be there.
In addition, 20 other teams will
also be competing. It is the Bull¬
dogs' biggest meet so far this sea¬
son. %
"This is the closest team to con¬
ference meet," senior Karen
Gallagher said. "This is a good
chance to see where we're at."
The Speedo Cup, which starts
today and continues until Saturday
at Long Beach, features some of the
.best tcamsin the nation.
Fresno State's entire team is go¬
ing to the meet and the swimmers
said they are ready.
"WeVe ready. This is our chance
to prove and show all what we have

Opinion
Will Scottie Pippen leave the Chicago Bulls?
By Phil Kakligian
The^Daily Collegian
Chicago Bulls forward Scottie
Pippen has said publicly that he
wants to be traded to another
team. Pippen shocked the Bulls
with his trade demand last week.'
Does Pippen really want to leave
the Bulls?
The perennial All-Star for¬
ward may be serious this time. In
recent years, he has had a strained
relationship with Bulls general
manager Jerry Krause. He has also
stated that there is no love lost be¬
tween him and Jerry Reinsdorf, the
Bulls' owner. Pippen has claimed
that both Krause and Reinsdorf
have disrespected him. Kraus»
openly offered a Pippen trade to ■
other teams. That trade offer was
retracted when Michael Jordan said
he wanted Pippen to remain part of
the team.
* Pippen may be posturing for
more money. At about $2.8 million
this season, Pippen says he is un¬
derpaid. He may be correct, since
there are many lesser, non-All-Star
players who make more than him.
He either wants a renegotiated con¬
tract or a new one. The $2.8 mil¬
lion he is receiving this, year is un¬
der the terms of a 1991 contract
extension he signed.
When you tak« a look at what
he has done, Pippen may deserve
more money.
As well as being an All-Star
forward, he has helped the Bulls
win five NBA championships. He
is a key piece of the Bulls team.
