Allison fills big shoes; 'Dogs lose
It wasn't exactly a well-kept secret that the Bulldog
wrestlers would be in a losing position Wednesday
night.
But what the Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo Mustangs
didn't count on was that the Bulldogs had their own
secret — a secret weapon named Gene Allison.
Allison, normally a 158-pounder, stepped up the
ladder to fill injured Sylvester Carver's shoes for a
night and beat Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo's 167-pound
Howard Lawson 12-9 to improve his season record to
15-10-0.
The Mustangs, however, showed several hundred
onlookers why they are the ninth ranked team in tbe
nation by winning six of the nine matches for a 24-9 win
r the Bulldogs, now 11-8 in dual matches this
The triumph was significant for Allison not only
because he was wrestling in a weight class 10 pounds
heavier than he's used to, but his opponent, Lawson,
was ranked sixth in the nation.
"He wrestled super," said Bulldog coach Dennis
DeLiddo of Allison. "He hustled and hustled. Pretty
good for a guy 158-pounds. He kept hustling and
forcing and kept right in Lawson's face."
Allison's victory was one of three for the Bulldogs.
John Vega, CSUF's valuable 134-pounder scored an
impressive decision over last year's JC state
champion, Dondi Teran, 6-1. Bulldog 190-pounder Jim
O'Brien fought his way to a 5-3 decision over junior Jeff
Pandratz for the 'Dogs' other win.
"I'm always happy with Vega. He always gives 100
percent," said DeLiddo. Vega must have given 110
percent against Teran, as the Mustang junior defeated
Vega just five days ago in the Biola tournament, as
DeLiddo pointed out.
After a scoreless first round, Teran scored an
escape early in the second round for his only point of
the match. Vega, 5-foot-6 junior, received one point
for a stalling penalty in the second period and five more
for an escape, a nearfall and a takedown in the third
round to earn a healthy round of applause from the
Allison stunned everybody in the house by scoring
three takedowns in the first period for an 8-4 lead after
the first three minutes. In the second period, Allison
tripped Lawson backwards, flattening his c
the floor for a two-point takedown and ^
'Dogs await Rebels,
can't overlook 49ers
One of the most dangerous obstacles in
sports comes when a team is set to meet a
strong opponent - - especially one primed
for an upset - after a relatively weak one
The tendency, of course, is to overlook
With Nevada Las Vegas, ranked in the
top three nationally on most collegiate
basketball polls (No 1 according to
Sports Illustrated magazine), coming into
Selland Arena for a nationally televised
game Saturday, the Bulldog basketball
learn must avoid looking past Long Beach
State tonight
The game is slated for a 7 35 p.m start
at Selland Arena
Head coach Boyd Grant and players
alike say they are taking revenge minded
LBS very seriously
"We can't afford to look past Long
Beach." Grant said after Sunday's victory
over San Jose State "We've got to play
one game al a time. I'm not worried about
Vegas until next week "

The Bulldogs have to be licking their
chops at the thought of UNLV coming in.
The Rebels have played some tight games
in Pacific Coast Athletic Association play.
Coach Jerry Tarkanian's team was
trailing UC-Santa Barbara by eomevT7
points earlier this season before finally
winning. Fresno owns a 64-42 trouncing
of the Gauchos in Goleta.
Las Vegas has also played close games
with Long Beach State, a team the Rebels
also had to come back to beat. UNLV
held on for a 70-68 victory over UC-Irvine
on the Rebels' home court this past
weekend to stay the only major school
with an unblemished record (20-0).
"I'm looking forward to playing Las
Vegas." Mark Gustin said this week "I'd
really like them to be undefeated But
we've got to beat Long Beach first."
Long Beach. 9-10 overall and 3-6 in
PCAA play, is no doubt looking for
revenge with the Bulldogs. Fresno scored
a 75-44 win in Long Beach earlier this
season, but Grant has noted it was just a
bad game for the 49ers. LBS beat Irvine,
winners over Fresno this season, 95-87
before dropping a 79-65 decision to
Fullerton State during the weekend.
LBS has dropped seven of its last nine

No ExcestioM  ,
Women host Cal, wrn streak on line
-  ■ ■ ■ -  &
Sports Writer
Three weeks. Cafl it 21 days or almost a
full month. But as far as coach Bob
Spencer and the CSUFs women's basket-
hall team is concerned, an eternity is a
weeks ago the BuBdogs had i_
record of 10-7. including a dismal 1-6 m
NorPac conference play, and were mbsd
in a five-game kttmg string'AB this left the
BuBdogs buried in eighth place brthe
conference, not evert within binocular
rang* of first place California.
Heading into tonight's showdown with
second place Cat a* Sefland Arena at 5
p.m.. the Buldog outlook bee improved
drasticaey, thanks to a four-gstm* weiring
streak that has left the suddenly red hot
Lady BuBdogs with a 14-7 record. Throw
in a 5-5 NorPac record, good for a third
place tic with San Jose State and UOP,
and Spencer has a little more to smile
"We're realty happy about how far
we've come recently,'' said Spencer. "It's
been a combination of a lot of things,
mainly benefitting from tough compe¬
tition and coming back from injuries."
One characteristic of the Bulldog
streak been the abffity to come from
behind. Fresno faced a late game deficit in
their victory over San Francisco and
trailed both Santa Clara and Washington
by as many as 12 points before pulling out
conference char

Nonetheless, it is an ability that both
pleases and troubles Spencer.
"We have to assume that we shouldn't
be in that kind of predicament," says
Spencer. "But it's good to see our seniors
lead us back Eke that."
Spencer has to be delighted with the
return of forward-center Patty DeLotto.
She was thought to be out for the season
with a foot injury.
"Patty's"return has really surprised
me," said Spencer of his 6-foot-2 senior.
She has scored 23 points in each of her
last two contests. "I know she's not in as
good of physical shape as she was before
the injury, but she's just pushing herself
so hard. She's coming around sooner that
we thought possible. I think she had a
chance to sit out for a while, and she
realized how much she missed it."
Spencer has been too busy lately to
worry about winning streaks or injuries as
he tries to prepare his team for a Cal outfit
that is second in the conference, trailing
front-runners Oregon and Oregon State.
'Tve viewed and reviewed so many
films that I'm just plain tired of looking at
them," said Spencer. "They're definitely
the toughest team we've faced, outside of
the Oregon schools."
One problem facing Spencer will be
finding a way to deal with the defending

"The coach plans to go with a Ineup of
senior DeLotto. Lisa Stumpf and Mary
Voigtsberger and junior Karen Cooke
and Careen* Clay. To get more height on
the floor, he also plans to alternate
freshman Tarrri Towle, 6-2, and Susan
Proctor, 6-1, at forward throughout the
game, often utilizing a three-forward
"We've really pulled out some things
for them," said Spencer.
The Bulldogs and the Bears are
certainly no strangers to each other,
having met on 11 previous occasions. The
Cal women have gotten more than the
best of the series. In 1978 the BuBdogs
won the first of the meetings and have
since dropped the last 10, "including a 63^
52 setback in Berkeley last month,
"We plan to sue their streak to our
advantage," says Spencer. "I know our
seniors would particularly like to end this
' The game tonight is part of basketball
doubleheader at Selland Arena. The Bull¬
dog men will host Long Beach State in a
Pacific Coast Athletic Association
contest at 7:35 p.m.
Another key factor in tonight's contest
should be the play of Fresno's talented
forward Clay. After pouring in 44 points
against Washington and Washington
State, she has struggled somewhat in her
last two outings.
"If she doesn't do well the first part of a
game, she has to learn to overcome it,"
said Spencer. "She has been forcing it and
it's affecting her game."
The 14 wins the Bulldogs have
compiled this seaspn assures them of the
most ever for a women's team at Fresno,
not to mention the first winning season
"Inwardly I think the players are elated,
but they just aren't showing the emotion
at this point," says Spencer. "We still
have a lot to accomplish."

come up here ready to play."
Winter is presently the president of the
National Association of Basketball
Coaches. He is among the winningest
active coaches in the country.
The Niners are led by three double
hgure scorers among their starters.
Guard Joedy Gardner, who had a good
game against the Bulldogs in the earlier
game, is averaging 15.2 points per game at
one guard position. Theother spot is filled
by Ricky Smith, averaging nearly 10
points a night.
The other dangerous 49er is forward
Ray Mosby, with a 14.3 scoring average.
Reggie Payne, the other forward, is
among the PCAA leaders with a 6.3
rebounding average. Payne was touted to
be one of the top players in the con¬
ference coming into the season. But he is
averaging just 6.6 points per game.
Center Michael Zeno'610.6 points and
9.3 rebounds make him among the top
post men in the conference.
The Bulldogs bring some momentum
mto tonight's contest. Fresno roared to a
63 50 win over San Jose to move into sole
possession of fifth place in the nine-team
PCAA. CSUF is 4-5 (13-7 overall) in
conference action and has not been
beaten by a PCAA opponent on its home
floor since January 1981 — by Long
Beach.
Junior forward Bernard Thomspon is
coming off his best performance as aBufl-
dog. Thompson scored 27 points, hitting
every shot he tried in the first half, and
grabbed 11 rebounds in leading Fresno's
victory over SJS Sunday.
Thompson, named the player of the
week by the PCAA, continues to lead the
team witha.A6,4.scgr^average%	
Ron Anderson is the top scorer in
conference games. He was held to 15
points by the Spartans Sunday, but
Anderson scored 13 of those in the
second half. He scores at a 17.4 clip in
PCAA games.
Anderson stands 6-feet-7 and
Thompson is 6-6&. Mosby and Payne, the
Long Beach forwards, are 6-5. This
should give Fresno an advantage on the
boards, an area where the team is
improving.
Freshman center Gustin is playing with
more authority. He and senior Desi
>Barmore should have a good matchup
with Zeno and 6-11 Ivan Verbeckt.
Verbeckt, a freshman from Antwerpen,
Belgium, is averaging more than .nine
points and nearly five rebounds off the
In the "Dog back court, Tyrone Bi adicy
has shown some scoring initiative. He had
eight points from the outside in the first
half Sunday, but did not shoot after
halftone. Mitch Arnold was kept quiet by
San Jose, but is still a threat from the
three-point area. Averaging 5.5 points
overall this season, the junior from
Watson, ID. is third on the team in
conference action with an 8.2 mark.
The game Saturday with Las Vegas is
scheduled for an 11:30 a.m. tip-off to
accomodate a CBS national telecast.
Gary Bender and Bitty Packer are set to
handle the play-by-play.
UNLV has four starters averaging in
double figures, including the PCAA's
leading rtiarksman in center Sid Green.
Green has a 21.7 mark and is also
averaging 12.3 rebounds.
The 6-9 senior has been playing at both
the forward and center •'positions this
The only projected starter for the
Rebels not scoring in twin figures is point
guard Danny Tarkanian, the son of the
for it with an assist mark better than 10.
He is the school leader in career assists
after only a season and a half.
Las Vegas starts a pair of freshman
forwards in Eldridge Hudson, who missed
the last Fresno-UNLV encounter, and
Larry Anderson. Guard Jeff Collins is
scoring nearly 13 points a game and Eric
Booker, a guard who transfer ed to UNLV
after the University of San Francisco
dropped its intercollegiate men's basket¬
ball program during the summer, has
been playing well off thehench.
UNLV, 10-0 in conference play, scored
a 56-48 win in Las Vegas over the Bulldogs
earlier in the season. CSUF owns a 4-3
edge in the overall series between the two
