Since construction will coincide with
the baseball season this spring, fans will
have to sacrifice some seating conditions
this season, according to McGuire.
"The current bleacher seats wll be
moved to left and right field," McGuire
said. "Fans will be watching from beside
third base instead of behind home plate.
Our fans will be inconvenienced but I
think they will understand when they look

"As long as the playing field is not
affected, well be all right," he said.
Bennett is, however, concerned about
the light standards, which will be moved
60 feet behind home plate in the first
phase of construction. This move will
cause a temporary power outage.
"We could get by without lights by
playing night-scheduled games at
daytime," said Bennett, who cautioned
that if construction does interfere with
games (a remote possibility), confusion
could set in. "We've explored potential
game sites other than Fresno State and
that would be a problem. If it came to that,

A quick impression
for Bulldog Carver
"__!_____________"
Before the 1983 wrestling season began,
Bulldog coach Dennis DeLiddo made an'
assessment of his highly touted 167-
pound junior college recruit, Sylvester
"Sly" Carver.
"Sylvester Carver looks like one of the
best guys in the room. He has got what it
lakes to place in every tournament and
even win a couple. He's probably got
enough to place in the NCAAs. But, of
;, that re
:.:_-..- t,
Well, it's been seen.
As of last week. Carver's 32-2'record
ranked him third in the nation. His only
osses, both at the hands of Oklahoma
State's No. 1-ranked Mike Sheets, leads
most to believe the latter is Carver's only
obstacle in the winning the NCAA
championship the 167 weight — one of
Carver's short-range goals. That, of
course, still remains to be seen.
As his numbers indicate, Carver has
more than lived Lip to expectations as a
Bulldog. Heavily recruited out of the Bay
Area's Chabot Junior College by such big
wrestling schools as Cal Poly-San Luis
Obispo, Nevada-Las Vegas, Arizona and
lally
trful
Bakersfield, Carver opted (or CSUF to
"help build a program and a team."
Improving as an individual, Carver main¬
tains, comes with the package.
For the record, the Bulldogs compiled
just five dual meet victories without
Carver last year. This season, just barely
half over, the 'Dogs are 9-7.
Sweat dripping from his face and his
body tucked in two layers of sweat suits,
the 20-year-old Carver welcomes an
interview after a grueling workout in the
CSUF wrestling room just two days
before last Friday's match with UC-Davis.

best," says Carver, a junior. "There's no
slouches on this level."
Despite Carver's impressive numbers,
DeLiddo says there is more in store.
"He's got great ability, quickness and
strength, but he still has not wrestled up
to his potential," says DeLiddo.
Not surprised by his coach's feelings,
Carver says he feels the same.
"I agree with him. I can't say why, but I
do have more to give. Even when I win, I
still feel Pm not up to my potential," he
admits. "It makes me feel good to know
he sees that in me."
Perhaps some of that potential will
come in the form of pins later on. Both

'Dog swimmers drubbed
by Sacramento State
SACRAMENTO— Two Bulldog
collegiate competitors, but it was not
enough as CSUF was drubbed Fri¬
day by Sacramento Slate 69-44.
Sophomores Dave Brancamp and
Ron Osborn took the 500.free style
and 200 breast stroke races, respec¬
tively, for their first ever wins.
Brancamp, who came into the sea¬
son the fifth-rated 500 free'styler on
the Bulldog team, bettered his own
preseason mark with a 5:08.17 time.
Brancamp beat his mark by almost a
half second.   .
Osborn's  2:23.43  won  the  200
Bulldog's top n
and 100 free races. Rystad timed
1 .'46.09 in the 200 and 49.6 seconds in
the 100.    .
Fresno's other winner was junior
Sherwin Gormly in the 20 individual
medley.
Bulldog coach Harold Zane said
the conditions at the Sacramento
pool were bad because of the wee¬
kend rain and cold. Even poorer
weather forced cancellation of
Saturday's meet at Pacific. It has
been rescheduled for Thursday at
the CSUF pool.
The Bulldog sports information
office also said Friday's home meet
with San Francisco State has been
cancelled.

Stadium downtown)."
"There are still good seats available,
despite construction," assurred stadium
architect Ed Darden.
"We insisted during planning that stu¬
dents are human just like seat option
buyers,"added McGuire. "So 540 general
admission seats are held for students."
The seats according to McGuire, "are
all theatre-type armchair seats. There will
be no bench-type seats except in the
dugouts."
While the first phase of construction
concerns the super structure for seating,
following phases include construction of a
new $200,000 press box, a $150,000
shower-lockerroom facility and $48,000 in
concession and security facilities, said
McGuire.
The press box, a 90-foot long structure
to span above the middle three sections of
seats behind home plate "will be the
architectural statement of the stadium,"
said Darden. "We've really tried to take
care of the radio, TV and newspaper
people. It will be beautiful."
Of the stadium funds thus far
generated, according to McGuire, "we
have $150,000 on loan from the Bulldog
Foundation; $550,000 cash paid in on
pledges and $950,000 from 17 local
guarantors.
"It (construction of the new stadium) is
kind of a national event," added Bennett,
who believes — when finished — Beiden
will be the finest college baseball stadiurri
in the country. "Everytime we (colleges)
build a stadium, we upgrade collegfc
baseball.
"This stadium means a lot to our
program; it adds a whole new dimension.
Well be able to recruit more intensely and
bring- in more teams from the east,"
concluded Bennett. "We've really got
input from everybody who uses the
stadium. We've considered all the input,
so it's really a community project."

Carver may not pin many opponents,
but his opponents have a far worse record
in pinning him.
'"I've never been pinned in my whole
career," Carver reveals. "Against Mike
Sheets was the first time my back was
exposed to the mat and the first time I've
had near fall points scored against me."
Sheets first decisioned Carver
respectably, 8-2, at Caesar's Palace in the
Las Vegas Tournament Dec. 5. A second
confrontation at the Midlands Tourn¬
ament Dec. 30 in Illinois saw Sheets sneak
by with an 8-6 decision. And a third time?
"The third time will be different. I think
the third time I'm going to overcome Mike
Sheets," Carver assures. That third time
will have to come in the 1983 NCAA
Championships and Carver has that look
His mental attitude seems to play an
integral part in his mat artistry.
"I always fee) I'm the underdog going
into my matches. But, I'm the go-getter,"
Carver says. "I never look at myself as the

because it's my first year on this level.
