OSU looks to Improve 0-11 season
By Jeff Domingo**
Staff Writer
When a football team goes through an
entire season without a victory, it is
easy to find room for improvement.
Oregon State, which plodded through
the 1980 campaign with an 0-11 record,
will be improved, head coach Joe
Avezzano said, both offensively and
defensively.
The Bulldogs travel to Corvallis,
Oregon, to meet the Beavers Saturday
evening.
Avezzano said the Beaver kicking
game is the area to watch this season.
He ci.ed place kicker Chris Mangold's
i mpn vement as a key.
'Diring the spring he hit 75 percent
of hi' field goals from 40 yards and in,"
Ave; -ano said. *l am encouraged by
Chri 's maturity."
A.ezzano said he would have a better
pla>er at every position than performed
last year. That is pretty hard to do with¬
out a complete housecleaning, but the
se< ind-year coach said he thinks that
go. I will be reached by Saturday.
We have brought in some new
pe >ple who are going to challenge for
st rting positions." Avezzano said.
He said the OSU offensive line has
si .own the most marked improvement,
a though he added there is room for
concern. There is a new crop of fresh¬
men filling a few holes there.
"It is never a good situation when
freshmen must be counted on to provide
playing time in the offensive line,"
he said.
But center Roger Levasa should
anchor the lint. Avezzano called Levasa
'the best center In the Pac-10.'   Ore¬
gon's Mike Delgato has the same
moniker.
Several players switched positions
over the summer. Including Tim Sim.
Sim was a running back during the
1980 debacle and now will play wide
receiver.
The move of Sim and returning stand¬
outs Victor Simmons at flanker and Ron
Vogel at tight end should give OSU a
solid group of receivers.
However, OSU was last in the Pac-10
in passing last season. Quarterback
Ed Singler threw for a sorry three
touchdowns all year long, despite
completing almost 59 percent of his
passes. Only UCLA had less yardage
in the air than OSU's 1166.
Simmons and running back Tony
Robinson were sixth and seventh in
the conference in pass receptions.
In team rushing, Oregon State totalled
only 1603 yards, just edging out Sou¬
thern California's Marcus Allen. Ave¬
zzano said the backfield looks promising,
although Robinson has graduated.
Robinson ran for more than half his
team's ground yardage in 1980.
Oregon State was also last in the
Pac-10 in scoring. The Beavers put less
than 10 points on the board per week.
The opposition was going through OSU
to the tune of 35.1 points and over 441
yards each Saturday. The Beavers
were beaten by such lopsided r "es as
54-13 to Stanford, 41-6 to Wa- igton
.  and 35-0 to Texas.
Depth was a major problem for the
Beaver defense in 1980. The lack of
bench strength, Avezzano said, did not
allow for a suitable substitute in the
event of an injury or poor play and did
not provide competition for the starters.
Five JC transfers and the switch of
some receivers into the OSU secondary
will give Oregon State some added
strength on defense, Avezzano said.
Linebackers Jerome Boyd, Derek
Warren and J J. Crack) are expected to
provide leadership for the Beaver
defense.
'We must improve on defense if we
are able to improve as a football team,'
the coach said.
CSUF should have some success with
its bread-and-butter running attack.
Ted Torosian and Danny Rainey teamed
to run for 229 yards against powerful
Oregon last weekend.- OSU was giving
up nearly 255 yards a game last season
to finish last in its conference in rushing
defense.
The Beavers had better luck against
the pass, although they were burned
for 14 touchdowns.
Mistakes were costly for OSU as the
Beavers turned the ball over 36 times,
tying California as the Pac-10 's highest
figure in that department. Fresno was
able to capitalize on Oregon turnovers
last Saturday.
Avezzano sees his team as improved
over last season, but Saturday's contest
with CSUF will be the test. It is the
season opener for the Beavers. De¬
fensively, Avezzano says, OSU is more
knowledgeable and quicker, but the
offense still holds a few question marks,
especially in the running game.
But then, Oregon State has no where
to go but up.
Revenge is the motive
in Davis soccer match
By Chuck Barney
Sports Editor
A revenge factor will be involved
Friday night when the CSUF soccer
team takes on UC Davis under the
lights at Bulldog Stadium.
It will be the home opener for the
Bulldogs, who recently compiled a 2-1
record during a road trip to Colorado.
Friday's contest is set to get underway
at 730 p.m. The Bulldogs will then
face the University of Portland Pilots
on the same site at 2 p.m. Sunday.
'We've got a lot of incentive going
into this game," said soccer coach Jose
Elgorriaga earlier this week. "Not only
will it be our first outing in front of our
home fans, but we'll be out for revenge.
Davis beat us last year, 3-2, in overtime.
We don't want that to happen again."
The Davis victory was only one of
five total wins for the Aggies all last
season. Members of the Far JJ/estern
Conference, the Aggies finished with
nine losses and two ties.
Davis is led by forward Tox Thomas,
the Aggies' leading scorer last season.
The match against the Bulldogs will
be the season opener for the Aggies.
"Davis is a scrappy and hustling team.
They're very well balanced," said El¬
gorriaga. 'It should be a good matchup.
They've   got   pretty   much   the   same

lineup that they had last year when
they beat us.*
The Bulldog kickers opened their
season with a three-game set last
week in Colorado. CSUF came away
from that trip with 1-0 wins over Metro¬
politan State College and the Air Force
Academy, but dropped a 2-1 decision
to Colorado College.
"It was a satisfying road trip in that we
won two of the'three games and that we
got to look at all of our players in game
situations. We played everybody,"
said Elgorriaga. 'It also brought die
team closer together, since we had to
spend the whole weekend with one
another.*
The fact that CSUF scored only'three
goals in three games didn't bother El¬
gorriaga a great deal. 'In each of our
games, we should have easily had at
least four goals,' the coach said. 'We
outshot all of our opponents. The oppor¬
tunities were there but we were a bit
off target. I'm not worried about it,
though. As long as we keep getting the
shots like we did last weekend, we'll
be all right. The accuracy will come with
practice.*
Overall, Elgorriaga was pleased with
his team's performances, especially the
defense.
'If we could play defense like that all
the time,' we'll be in good shape,'
he said. 'Our defenders did an out¬
standing job.*
Meanwhile, the University of Portland
Pilots will' be returning eight starters
from last year's squad, which compiled
a fine 15-5-1 record and was consistently
ranked' in the top 10 of the Far West
Region.
Tickets for Friday night's game are
priced at $2 for general admission seats
and Si for CSUF students. Head sweat-
bands will be distributed to the first
1,000 kids age 14 and under on Friday
night and a drawing will be held for two

Diego Socker star Kaz Deyna as well as a
poster signed by superstar Pele.
