"We got complacent or something," said the South's Sio Saipaia of Honolulu, who also sang the national anthem. "We didn't know if we should force it, or sit back and be steady. That cost us.

Then we decided it was time to get after it. "I just went out and went for some spikes. I'm not a very good passer or setter, but I like to spike. Then we got the momentum and it was over." For Buechler, who also played basketball for Poway, it was the second massacre he had witnessed in the last six months. Earlier in the year, his team had played well for a half, before succumbing in basketball to No.

"You know I saw him and I was thinking, 'now what is he doing he said. The Orange Majesties, representing the South, played 12:06 minutes of softball in a little more than 25 hours. Monday, in a game that went a record 21 innings and ended early Tuesday morning, they eked out 1-0 victory over the Southern California Renegades of Long Beach.

Tuesday afternoon, they rolled out of bed to go another 21 innings against the North. Only this time, they lost, 1-0, as pitcher Ella PATRICK DOWNS Los Angeles Times 'The losing years are tough, especially after we'd had so many good seasons. I don't want to go through another losing season. SPORTSCENE BATON ROUGE, revenge motive can be the ultimate equalizer. Last Saturday night, the heavily favored West volleyball team swept through the South like a modern-day Sherman.

But Tuesday night at the LSU Assembly Center, the South returned the favor, scorching the West, 16-14, 9-15, 15-5, 15-4, to take the Sports Festival gold medal. "They were really emotional and burned us," said San Diego Poway senior Jud Buechler. "You know they really played with a lot of emotion and we just never got our passing and setting going." The West, which won in straight sets Saturday, opened fast again, building a 12-6 lead. They still led, 14-10, before the roof caved in. "Two years ago, I was glued to the bench," said the South's Matt Sonnichsen of Spring, who is heading to UCLA on a scholarship in the fall.

"And the West whipped our butts in straight sets on the first night. Then they came back a couple nights later and they crushed us again. "This time, we just decided it wasn't going to happen again." The South took over the net, and seized the momentum, allowing a crowd of nearly 4,000 into the match. The West also failed to convert on three straight service opportunities. The West could have gone quietly, but sparked by Buechler, they took the second set.

That was their Third-Place Buds Beat San Antonio Special to The Times The San Diego Buds snapped a two -match losing streak Tuesday night, defeating the San Antonio Racquets, 24-19, in a TeamTennis match at San Antonio. San Diego (7-4) returns home to play first-place St. Louis (9-3) at 7:30 tonight in the Sports Arena. The Buds, tied for third place with Miami Beach, are unbeaten at home (5-0) this season. San Diego lost to St.

Louis, 24-23, earlier this season in St. Louis. The Buds got off to a quick start, opening a 12-5 lead behind a 6-2 men's doubles victory by Todd Nelson and Butch Walts against Tony Giammalva and Hank Pfister; and a 6-3 women's singles victory by Robin White over Kim For four days, Mr. Unflappable and Mr. Nonchalance waged a war of arrows.

A tie would have been appropriate, but Darrell Pace squeaked past Rick McKinney, to claim the gold medal in the archery competition. "You know we watch each other all the time," said McKinney, of Glendale, who also finished second to Pace in the Los Angeles Olympics. "We used to be extremely competitive. Now, we kind of feed off each other. I push him and he pushes me.

"I shot well, but two days ago, I had a miss and it cost me. Plus, going into the last three arrows this morning, I had a four-point lead. I got a 23 and he shot a 29. That was the end because we shot even in the afternoon." When figure skaters finish a routine, dozens of fans make their way to the front row to offer flowers and other gifts. Asked by the Baton Rouge State-Times if she liked the practice, Kristin Kri-wanek, 17, of Los Angeles, said: "You get some crazy things sometimescotton candy, balloons a stuffed armadillo.

FRANKEL, M.D. (213)938-3767 the ULTIMATE TOILET TISSUE IMPRINTED WITH WHOEVER OR WHATEVER YOU WISH INCLUDING! PHOTOGRAPHS By MARC APPLEMAN, Times Staff Writer SAN DIEGO Charger center Don Macek has been snapping the ball to quarterback Dan Fouts for six seasons as a starter. Lately, however, some of his practice snaps have been different.

They've been spirals. Could the Chargers be thinking of adopting the shotgun offensive formation? "We've been taking some snaps in that formation to see what it looks like," said Ernie Zampese, the Chargers' assistant head coach in charge of the passing game. "Then, if we want to incorporate it, we would have practiced it." The Chargers have not used the shotgun in the past, and Zampese isn't sure it would be the best formation for Fouts. "He's a rhythm thrower," Zampese said, "and I tend to think he might be better off getting the snap from center." However, using the shotgun would give Fouts more time to throw and would probably allow him to stay in the pocket longer. As San Diego fans know, rollouts have never been overly popular with the Chargers.

For now, the shotgun is just an idea. But it's an idea that has Macek keeping his arm loose. The Chargers have not been hit by any serious injuries, but their running backs have suffered numerous bumps and bruises. Rookie Doug Jefferson is the only running back in camp who is healthy. That, plus some tough running, has enabled the 5-foot 10-inch, 206-pounder from Stephen F.

Austin State to impress Coach Don Coryell. "He's a tough son of a buck," Coryell said. Injury report: Earnest Jackson (toe), Bobby Craighead and Buford McGee (hamstrings), Bill White (ribs), Curtis Adams (wrist), Mark Schellen (bruised thigh) and Anthony Steels (shoulder Coryell on rookie offensive lineman Jim Lachey, the Chargers' top draft pick, who signed with the club Sunday: "He's looking very good in the couple of practices he has had. He's a huge man with fine ability, and he has the ability to play both guard and tackle." Versatility is the watchword of the camp. Coryell is trying Lachey at both guard and tackle on the left side of the line.

Coryell said Lachey, who weighed 280 during his playing days as a guard at Ohio State, has gained 10 pounds. "He's a big man, Coryell said, "but there's no fat there." Wide receiver Wes Chandler has been particularly impressive in camp this week. "He's looked fantastic running his pass patterns," Zampese said. Coryell on Chandler: "He's back in the old groove. He's well this year, not banged up.

He got married, which he says is a wonderful thing for him. He's excited about the season. He's fired up." Talk about being fired up. Coryell admits he hasn't growled much. "I got a lot of players out there," he said.

"We have 14 draft choices, who are all signed and all here. And we have free agents with a fine opportunity to make the team." There is still the prospect of the Chargers signing more players from the United States Football League. "I hope so," Coryell said, "but nobody knows if they'll be free agents or not. Until we know, I don't think about it Anderson (running back Gary Anderson of the Tampa Bay Bandits) is a fine player, but I don't even think about having him. If he comes, that's great.

It's a bonus." mama PACKAGE PRICES FROM WE WILL BEAT ANY PRICEI 100 Legal 1st Run Movies Satellites Sports Special Events 150 Channels Incl.

He has to prove he can still play football, which seems a bit like asking the Pope to prove he can still say Mass. Joiner himself asks for no deferential treatment. If he's on the spot, so be it.

And he concedes he is on the spot. "I'm definitely on the bubble," he said. "I have to work to make the team. That's the best approach." For Joiner, that has been the only approach. How can it perturb him to be critically evaluated by others when he has always critically evaluated himself? "I know that it could end for me at any time," he said.

"It depends on the coaches and the administrators. The time comes for everyone, sooner or later, and I'll accept it when the time comes for me. In the meantime, I'll do my best." Charlie Joiner's best has always been so good it is hard to imagine the end for him can be anywhere near. Indeed, it might be hard for the public to accept the departure of an institution such as Joiner. "The Chargers can't look at it that way," Joiner said.

"Anyone can be cut. And that's the way they have to look at it." Joiner talked matter-of-factly, looking out from under the beret he seems to wear everywhere but to the shower or the football field. He was wearing one of those "Jefferson-Joiner High Voltage" T-shirts from back in the glory years. It did not seem to bother him that someone was wondering about the sands in his football hourglass. His calm that is such a strength on the field does not betray him off it.

It did not, for example, concern him that the Chargers have made such a drastic swing toward youth. He expects that. It is the way of football, and of the world, and that was the way a young Charlie Joiner got started so long ago. Cellular Car IP lino Why Lease You Can Own7 is in in of When FOTO PAPER PRODUCTS P.O.

Charlie Joiner If his jaw tightened and the crease deepened in his forehead, it was only because the subject had changed to losing. That, to Joiner, much more distasteful than growing older. "The losing years are tough," he said, "especially after we'd had so many good seasons. I don't want to go through another losing season." In fact, when Joiner was asked about memorable catches later in the conversation, he talked about two or three before he was finally asked about No.

650. This was the one that gave him the NFL record for career catches. "I'd like to forget that game and that year," he said. "Maybe not the catch itself. His voice trailed off.

The record-breaking catch had been in a 52-24 loss last year at Pittsburgh. It was late in a losing effort in a lost season. Dan Fouts, injured earlier the game, was not even the quarterback who threw the pass. On the afternoon Joiner set an all-time record, it was his estimation that nothing was right. Wrong city, wrong winning team, wrong quarterback.

All wrong. "I wished it could have worked out differently," he said. Another year is approaching, and Charlie Joiner has already had 16 of these football seasons. He has had games when he has come back when no one thought it was humanly possible, and he has had seasons when he has come back when no one thought it was humanly possible. At this point, in this training camp, Joiner might just be lost in a shuffle of wide receivers who are taller and younger and faster.

What folks forget, of course, is that Charlie Joiner has made a living at not being noticed. Just ask four generations of defensive backs who thought they knew where he was. I know the Chargers have signed all their draft choices and brought waves of free agents, but I already have my choice for rookie the year. I'll take the rookie wide receiver who will be 38 years old in October. f.S me All phones Include L.A.
