Modrell walked 11 men and whif¬

Wayne McGhee, starting catch¬
er on last year's team, may not
be able to play against toe Bruins
because of a twisted ankle.

this Is the last bout of the CCAA
dual season. Fresno has won eight
and lost three. One common ele¬
ment between toe two teams la
that they were defeated by three
Oregon teams two weeks ago.
There Is one big difference to
the teams. Fresno has had more
Injuries and Illnesses this season
than any other team In the con¬
ference. Steve Greene Is out be¬
cause ofabroken hand, BUI Bern¬
stein was out for three-fourths of
the season with mononucleosis,
and Jim Norsworthy was out tor
a month because of an Injured rib.
Various Illnesses have side¬
lined many of the wrestlers at one
time or another. The Injury list
has also caused FSC coach Dick
Francis to either forfeit the 177-
pound weight division match or
put In a wresUer who has only
been wrestling for only a week,
In the Cal Poly match.
The match could make Francis'
dreams come true. Ever since
they lost to Cal Poly last year,
Francis stated earlier this sea¬
son, 'It would be nice to meet the
Mustangs again for the champion¬
ship so we could have another
chance to beat them.*
Although the team Is missing
Greene and Bernstein, Francis
believes his smaU group could
defeat the Mustangs.
•It Is going to be a tough bat¬
tle. I think we could win at least
five of these matches and the
other three or four wrestlers
could hold their own.*
The five wrestlers Francis
wUl be depending on are Steve
Johanson, at 123; Jim Norworthy,
at 130; Mike GaUego, at 137;
Eric Chrlstenson, at 167; and
Dick Blrbeck, heavyweight.
An Interesting match wlU be
Johanscn against John Garcia.
Last year Garcia defeated Jo-
hansen In their battle. Johansen
has a 11-1.1.
Francis feels that Johansen Is
better prepared this year than he
had  been all last year. This Is
Johansen was the
leglate Athletic
champion at 113.
Bernstein wUl be back Into toe
lineup when the conference tourn¬
ament begins on Feb. 26. He was
given the green sign to wresUe
again two weeks ago. However,
he blossomed to over 200 pounds
while getting over his Illness.
Bernstein, wnowresUedatl77,
will not wresUe against Cal Poly.
Francis does not want Bernstein
to lose 20 pounds because lt may
harm his health. Bernstein wUl
be wresUlng at 191 In the con¬
ference tourney.
Other BuUdogs to wrestle In
tonight's match are Mike Check¬
offs, at 137; Chris Jensen, at 145;
and Steve Krislak, at 160.

Tonight could right well be the biggest 1968-88 basketball cam¬

The Fresno State CoUege quintet (7-0) could all but wrap up their
fifth straight conference championship with a win over second place

point) to unseat toe California CoUeglate Athletic Association tltllsts.

By winning toe league, the TDoga will automatically gain a berth to
toe National CoUeglate Athletic Assoclatlon (coUege division) District
Eight Regionals.
More important, acting athletic director Hal Beatty announced
Monday that his office waa notified by District Eight representative
Don Perkins that U toe Bulldogs took the CCAA, Fresno State would
be tho host school tor the playoffs, with toe winner representing toe
District to the NCAA coUege division finals to EvansvUle, Indiana.
Fresno Is no stranger to NCAA play, having represented the CCAA
the past tour years to district play while going back to EvansvUle to
1963 (only to lose to South Dakota a finalist).
The Bulldogs were nipped by toe Seattle Pacific Falcons last year
on toe Northwest school's hardwoods.
At tots writing, I couldn't or at least nobody would disclose who
would fill toe other three berths.
The Far West Conference- champ la a sure bet tor a spot (and at
tola point University of Nevada Is well on its way to the title), while
toe Falcons are sure picks from toe north.
As a matter of fact, the Falcone were toe only Pacific coast small

number of Independent schools. Highest on toe list of maybe'a are
three common toes of the BuUdogs, San Diego University, California

The name Pete Beiden goes back a long way to FSC athletics, and
he has been one of toe most Instrumental Individuals In putting Fres¬
no on the map of national collegiate athletics.

It's too bad that toe park couldn't be completely finished, but
Beiden Is happy that this much has been done.
The new facility, on Cedar Just south of Barstow, seats some 400
people, but U it was given a close Inspection, one would be led to
believe lt was built by a pack of cub scouts manned with an erector
set and a toy bulldozer.
The only good things about the park are toe fence around lt, the
bleachers and the property value; otherwise, lt leaves Just a Utile
to be desired, especially by the players.

Now, I've participated In some athletics, and betore every game

and see what I'm trying to say aguy can only sweat off so much.
The big thing, though, is the lack of dugouts. It's too bad, because I
feel dugouts can really make this a fine faculty.
The Ironic part of this situation Is thai there la some $9,000 ap¬
propriated tor such things, but where the financial bog down Is, no¬
body knows and Beiden Is as much to toe dark as anybody.
But, knowing toe state coUege system, our park may not have dug¬
outs tor another year or two.
