Bulldog defense too much for Spartans
SAN JOSE — Relying on its stiff,
trademark defense and Ron Anderson's
17 points on offense, the Fresno State
basketball team finally broke loosl in tbe
second half last night to shut down San
Jose State 43-33 in the San Jose Civic
Auditorium.
The win was Fresno State's fifth in a
row, although with UC-lrvine's 77-74
win over UNLV last night, the Bulldogs
are still a step out of second place in the
PCAA with a 12-5 conference record. The
Anteaters hold down the second spot with
a 13-4 mark.
San Jose State, despite going scoreless
for the first 7:18 of the first half, played
some unusually stingy defense throughout
the contest and actually led 18-16 late in
the first half. But the Bulldogs were able to
capitalize on several consecutive Spartan
turnovers in the second half and pulled
away with their 21st victory against seven
losses in the season.
"Maybe-it wasn't one of the most excit
ing games of the season," said Fresno
State coach Boyd Grant, "but it wasa win
and that's what counts."
Part of the reason for the Bulldogs
inability to break the game open was the
foul trouble forward Bernard Thompson
got himself into early on in the game.
Thompson, who finished with a season-
low four points, fouled out of the game
with 8:28 left to play.
With Thompson on the bench, Anderson picked up the slack and scored six out
of Fresno State's next eight points to pull
the Bulldogs up by a 38-30 margin. The
Bulldogs cruised the rest of the way in
holding San Jose State to only three
points in the final 4:30 of the game. The
Spartans' 33 points were the least amount
of points scored by a Bulldog opponent in
two yean.
At times, Fresno State was having its
problems putting some points on  Ihe
board as well. After jumping out to a 8-0 j
margin in the first eight minutes of play.
San Jose State suddenly came alive when
6-1 sophomore guard Ward Ferris dunked on a fast break after Bulldog guard
Mitch Arnold tried to save a wayward
pass from going out of bounds. Ferris
scored the Spartans' first six points of the
game to bring pull the south bay collegians within two points of the Bulldogs,
although he failed to put the ball through
the hoop again in the game.
Both teams were tied 20-20 after the
first 20 minutes of the game.
In the initial moments of the second
half, however, the Fresno State defense
shifted into its usual stingy mode. San
Jose State was not to score until 7 minutes
and 25 seconds had ticked off the clock.
Mitch Arnold followed up Anderson's
17 points with nine, while Scott Barnes
scored five points and hauled down six
rebounds.    ,■
For San Jose State, Keith Norwood,
Stoney Evans, Bobby Evans and Ferris all
had six points.
Fresno State will travel down to Long
Beach State tommorrow for its final regular season game of the year. The Build op
still need a loss by UC-lrvine in order to
gain the important second seed position in
the upcoming PCAA Tournament March
8-10 in the Forum. Tbe Anteaters will take
oh Fullerton State at home tommorrow
night.

accomplished on March 11, 1967, no Bulldog wrestler has yet to garner the lop spot
in the NCAA finals as Gallego did almost
17 years ago today.
Carver cringes when thinking about
what might have been last season if he
only knew.
"I really didnS. notice the record until
Ihe middle of the year."Carver said. "1 sal
out a match with Cal Poly because of a
shoulder problem and then just decided
not to wrestle in a match against Stanford
because of an upcomingtournament. With
those two matches I could have had the
record."
As things turned out Carver had to "set-
'Sylvester has a lot more ability then GaJlego did but Mike was
just so intense about wrestling.'
— DeLiddo
tie" for a 47-4-0 record and a fifth place
finish in the NCAA finals, good enough to
earn All-American accolades. The year
before his season of glory, Gallego was
sixth in the NCAA finals at 152 pounds.
Carver has been back in pursuit of the
record tbis season. Following his second
straight Pacific Coast Athletic Association title at 167 pounds last Friday in Las
Vegas, Carver's season record stands at
43-3. To tie Gallego . record Carver will
have to win all five matches at next week's
NCAA Championships which to he held
at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford. N.J. If Carver could collect those
preciottf victories it would also mean an
" NCAA crown. Interestingly though Carver
is not alone this season in his quest for
Gallego _ school standard. 118-pound
Pablo Saenz,despite finishing third at the
PCAA finals still has the same number of
wins as Carver. Saenz was weakened by
the flu last week but should be at full

strength for the NCAA finals.
Winning the NCAA title will also mean
that Carver will most likely have to defeat,
long-time, thorn-in-the-side Mike Sheets
of Oklahoma Slate. Carver has come up
empty in three bouts with the defending
national champion and suffered his only
pin while in a Bulldog uniform when he
faced Sheets on January 30. When DeLiddo
thinks of Carver's problems with Sheets -
he thinks back to a wrestler he used to spar
with — Mike Gallego.
"Gallego would have figured out a way
to beat Sheets," Deliddo said.
Following his Bulldog wrestling days
Gallego went on to try out for the United
States Olympic team, which Carver hopes
to do this summer. In the 1972 trials Gallego was defeated by Wayne Wells, who
eventually went on to win the gold medal
,at | Munich,........ -..,-....-.. ,...... emtlxn
Gallego wasnt through for the year
though, as he won the Greco-Roman style
wrestling trials but was later defeated in a
camp before the Olympics began. Gallego
took part in the Work) Games in 1973 and
then competed in his last major competition the following year when he took part
in the U.S.-Soviet Union match in
Berkeley.
A Zoology major while at Fresno State
Gallego graduated from dentistry school
in 1972 and now has taken up practice in .
Grass Valley, a small community located
approximately SO miles northeast of Sacramento. The wrestling bug hasn't left Gal-
lego's blood as he is one of the leaders of a
youth wrestling program in Grass Valley,
which his four-year-old son, Michael
Ryan, takes part in.
Gallego, who still has family in the
Fresno area, made the four hour drive
from Grass Valley to meet Carver on
November 23, when De Liddo's team kicked
off the 1983-84 season against arch-rival
Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo.
"After watching him wrestle I determined that we basically have different
styles,"Gallego said. "He has tremendous
strength along with great agility and coordination. I had to go at thjngs a little
harder than he does and I was a bit more
aggressive."
Tbe Carver strength, agility and coordination that Gallego spoke of is a testament to the work of genes. Carver's father,
a navy man by trade, was a boxer and
Sylvester's older brother Melvin Carver is
a running back'for the NFL's Tampa Bay
Buccaneers.
"He (Gallego) seemed like a great guy
when I met-him," Carver said. "He just
wished me the besrof luck."
Even if he can't atain the lofty status of
NCAA champion next week in New Jersey or qualify for the Olympics. Carver
won't be overly disappointed.
. "I'm proud of what I've accomplished
in my two years at Fresno State," Carver
said. "I Ve made tbe All-American list and.
also helped build the program up. In the
next few years I expect that Fresno State
will be in the top ten every year."

Bulldog swimmers jump
into PCAA championships
this Weekend in Long Beach
Now the real men's swim season begins.
The Fresno State men's swim team has
been practicing since tbe first day of
school, and it compiled a 7-4 dual meet
record, but that's all prologue to the
PCAA Championships, which began
Thursday and extends through Saturday
at the Belmont Shores complex in Long
Beach..
Make no mistake, the swimmers regard
this as TH Emeet. "lt _ about 90 percent of
our season," said Ken Norgaard.
The Bulldogs hope to improve on last
year's last place finish in the seven-team
conference. The 1983 team, which had a
1-7 dual meet record, scored 69 points in
the championships. Now the Bulldogs are'
looking to score over 100 points, which
would put them-, in contention with
Pacific and UC Irvine for fifth place. UC
Santa Barbara is the favorite, said head
Harold Zane.
Dan Brown is a strong contender in the
200-yard and 500-yard freestyle raises. He
will also swim the 1650-yard freestyle
event. John Diepersloot (freestyle), Carl
Tuma (individual medley)-, John Over-
street (butterfly), Ron Osborne (breast-
stroke), and -Steve Hurst (breaststroke).
should score points in the 12-man scoring
format.
. School record in all three relays (200-
yard freestyle. 400-yard freestyle. 400-
yard individual medley) could be set, said
Zane.
