He raises the index finger on his right
hand, asking for the ball. The pass
comes seconds later. He stops the ball
with his right foot, dribbles closer and
slams a shot with his left foot that
ricochets off the corner-tehe goal.
'C'mon guys, let's go,* the coach
snouts, encouraging his players during
Tony Browne has the ball again, this
time dribbling the ball downfield to the
far right corner, stopping and surveying
the defense. He puts his head down and
snaps his right foot forward, arching a
high, perfect set to the opposite comer.
A head shot brings the ball in front of the
goal and another head shot scores the
'Nice, nice," CSUF soccer coach lose
Elgorriaga says, a smile with perhaps a
touch of satisfaction sneaking through.
"Tony is like our field marshal,"
Elgorriaga explains. "He knows how to
read a game, how to direct people. He
can spot the weaknesses of the other
teams and knows how to exploit them
very well."
He says it is the 28-year-old Browne's
maturity and his knowledge of the game,
that makes the Briton valuable to the
soccer squad. It also doesn't hurt that
"the senior forward has been the teams
leading scorer the last three years.
Browne will attest to his coach's
remarks, saying that he does have a
good deal of soccer experience-
approximately 26 years in all.
He says he has pictures showing himself kicking a soccer ball when be was
two years old, not long after learning to
walk at his home in Bournemouth,
England.
Browne explains that he grew up in a
soccer atmosphere, where life revolved
around England's major sport. He tells
of primary and grammar schools with
teams at just about every age level,
playing about two games a week, six
months out of the year.
It was about four years ago that
Browne decided his life needed a
change. He was working as a representative for a finance company in highly industrialized northern England. He
didn't like the area and was getting distressed about the economic climate in
his country, he says.
He says he was anxious to return to
southern England, possibly to his hometown, Bournemouth (only 100 miles
.southwest of London). "I thought of
going back,* he says, 'but I decided to
go all the  way and move to California
Something else might have played a
role in his decision. While he was
younger in England, Browne says he had
several professional soccer trials but
never quite made it. He wanted too
much too soon.
'I had my sights set on the first division," Browne says with a slight smile.
He says that he and his best friend had
been playing on the same team in
school and that his friend decided to sign
with a fourth division team. Browne's
ign and it came back to haunt

his friend's
to a first division team for $2.5 billion.
"He got S percent of that," Browne remembers. The problem that he had, he
says, was that by the time he could accept signing with a fourth division
team, he was already too old, over the
hill at 17. "They like to sign you when
you're 16, straight out of school."
A visit Browne made to California in
1975 made his decision to move a little
easier. He stayed with a friend of the
family in San Diego.
'I met a lot of nice people and made
some good friends while I was here,"
he says, remembering that he was also
quite impressed with the California
beach life and the opportunities open to
people in America.
'I came to California to make my fame
and fortune in 1977.' When he came
overseas with Keith Thomas, also on the
soccer team, he says he had no Intention of going to school or to a university.
In England, he says, only a very small

to school past the age of 17.
Instead, he says, he had his mind set
to get his 'green card* so he could woik
in the US.
'I'm versatile and would have done
anything,' he says, recalling the days
when he traveled a good deal in the
western states, doing any odd jobs he
could find. Gardening, painting, field
house cleaning, working at a motel...
He says that he and a friend even
traveled to Las Vegas once and tried
their hands at being gigolos, but said
they didn't make much money out of it.
Browne didn't have to look too much
longer. After leaving San Diego to stay
in Fresno for a while and after hitchhiking 14 hours, he says he started playing for a valley soccer team, the Fresno
InvJtationals. He says the team did well
and apparently impressed a few people.
"We played CSUF in a scrimmage. I
scored a hat trick (three goals) and the
coach (Bob Bereskin at the time) offered me a college scholarship. *
Browne, a public relations major who
plans to graduate in May 1962, looks
back on his four years at CSUF and
considers himself very lucky.-
'Out of the millions of immigrants, I
felt like I had the unique opportunity by
getting a scholarship.* He says that
school, without the scholarship, would
have been impossible because of the
out-of-country $3._0O-a-year tuition. His
scholarship pays for books, too.
'But I try and repay as much as I can
back to the team, * he says.
Browne, the 'Dogs leading scorer
over the past three seasons, was selected to the. All-league second team in
the Pacific Soccer Conference last year
wnen he helped the Bulldogs to a 13-4
record and a ranking of sixth in the
West. He has also been selected to several all-tourney teams.
He leads the team this year with five
goals in the first 11 games. /.
Browne has had to learn to adjust to
what he calls the more direct style of
soccer. *They see the goal and go
straight at it." In England, he says
players spend more time at mid-field,
going forward, and backward and sideways, looking for the opening. In the
American style, 'to rise a football
phrase, they want to play 'the bomb.''
Another big adjustment for Browne
has been playing in the heat. He says
it was very unusual coming from the
60-degree, often rainy weather of
England to the 110 degree weather of
Fresno. Coach Elgorriaga; says Browne
has adapted to the heat but Browne
doesn't think so.
'I still haven't adjusted,* he says. 'I
can't play my normal game. 'I've had
to learn how to pace myself, to definitely
not dribble so much. *
And while he can adapt to the life of
this country, he says he refuses to relinquish his British heritage.
"Despite the problems there, I 'm still
rather proud of the old country.*
Bulldogs
'They picked up the blitz better
than any football team we've played,*
CSUF head coach Jim Sweeney said.
'They've got devastating athletes. It's
tough to match up against that kind of
Offensively, the Bulldogs performed
better against the Spartans than any
other team thus far. Stanford, a trad-
tional Padfic TO power, managed only
six points in its loss to SJS while
California was held to 13.
The Bul(fJogs rolled up 33 points and
430 total yards on SJ S's defense.
Maybe it was the TV audience that
made the teams nervous, but some kind
of record must have been set for penalties. Fresno was flagged 22 times for
a monstrous 194 yards while SJS had
135 yards marched off on 13 flags.
Early in the second quarter, the Bulldogs
found themselves back at their own 10
yard line. Fresno tried three times to
get off a play and three times the yellow
flag came out for offsides or illegal
procedure.
Tailback Steve Woods had another
good afternoon. Woods ran for 134 yards
on 16 carries. He had a 60-yarder for
a touchdown just before halftime.
Ted Torosian, coming back from an
Achilles   tendon   injury,   ran   for   57
DaHy Cllagtow-OHibii«. tm/Paa*) 7
Yards on 15 tries, but was not running
i with authority.
The air attack for Fresno was not what
Sweeney had hoped for. Sergio Toscano hit on only six of 17 throws before
he turned the ball over to Jeff Tedford
at intermission. Tedford was not much
better, hitting on 10 of 23. The two combined for 215 yards but Tedford had a
pair of TD tosses.
Clarkson was on his game. He completed 22 passes on 37 attempts for 426
yards. Bailef and Kearse heuled in
seven and six ot those.
To further illustrate CSUF'a offensive
showing, the Bulldogs had 27 first downs
to SJS's 25. Fresno held the ball nearly
35 m
'We moved the ball better than any-
ne else has against them,* Sweeney
that,' he went on. 'San Jose b the best
team we've played since I've been
here."
The penalties were a mystery to
^weeney.
'I don't know why we had that many
errors^ Sweeney said, shaking his
head The game plan was not that
large - we had two weeks to get ready.'
The loss dropped Fresno to 1-3 overall, 0-1 in PCAA play. SJS is now 4-1,
unbeaten in conference play.
'Standing on the sidelines, I had to
pity the poor guy who had to watch it,'
Sweeney said. Some 25,617 turned out
for the contest. Most left by the third
