Coach Jim Hackleman's double-barreled pns, Doug Howard and Scott Kay, shot Pacific into a 24-10 lead at the quarter that expanded to 42-23 at the half and 59-38 after three periods, before the Pirate mentor mercifully cleared the bench.

Colton hit its first seven shots of the game to take the early lead, but then began a disastrous trend of turnovers and unnecessary fouls that cost the ball game. Richard Koeller and Rich Dauer were the main spark plugs for the Yellow-jackets with Ed Martinez pulling in key rebounds at the start of the game.

However, after the opening splurge, the Jackets fell apart as the taller and quicker Lancers began their attack. Bishop Amat began controlling both back boards and when Colton went cold By RYAN REES Sun-Telegram Sports Writer Bishop Amat of La Puente methodically took apart Colton last night by a score of 80 to 60 to advance into the second round of the CIF Class AAA basketball playoffs. Using a three-pronged attack, the visiting Lancers rallied from an early 13-4 deficit to pull ahead midway through the first quarter and race to the run away victory. In the first half, Steve Caropino shot the nets out of the basket with 25 points.

Sun-Telegram photo by Jeff Hilgert watches action in CIF playoff last night, The Pirates chopped down Santa Fe, 84-69. it got only one shot as the Lancers pulled in almost every loose ball. However, the biggest factor in the Colton loss was the mistakes caused by the Yellowjackets. Repeated turnovers gave Bishop Amat the ball time after time and after the Lancers moved ahead 59-46 late in the third quarter, the Yellowjackets appeared to give up completely and stood by as the race-horse Lancers ran up and down the court, scoring almost at will. Dauer played an exceptional game for the Jackets on defense.

He was the lone hustler on defense and chipped in key baskets in the early going, but later on lead alone on his final hole but his birdie putt hung on the lip of the cup. It was the third straight round in the 60s here for Aaron who won Wednesday's pro-am with a 67 and matched that in Thursday's opening round. The exuberant young Shaw, who plays out of Golf, 111., and the veteran Sikes, a Jacksonville, attorney becoming known as the "Chicken Baron" because he owns a string of fried chicken drive-ins, were early finishers Friday and, although their rounds were five strokes higher than on opening day, withstood all challenges until Aaron, who was 32 last Saturday, came in late in the day.

Actually, Aaron is best known at the moment for the wrong score he wrote down on playing partner Roberto de Vicenzo's card in last year's Masters. Aaron two years ago at this same tournament held two stroke lead going into the final round and soared to a 75 on the final day and finished tied for fifth three strokes behind eventual winner, Doug Sanders.

The champions of the Imperial League fell behind by three points at 47-44 with a minute and a half left in the third period when the roof caved in on them. Randy Christiansen took a long pass from Scott Humphrey after a missed El Centro shot and rammed in a layup to give Yucaipa a 49-44 lead. Moments later, the pair repeated the play and the T-Birds had a 51-44 lead at the end of three quarters.

(UPI) Elroy Hirsch made it official yesterday by accepting the job of University of Wisconsin athletic director and pledging a "crash program to turn this thing around again." Hirsch, a native of Wausau, and still a legend in this area after only one season of football at Wisconsin in 1942, was officially introduced in his new capacity at a news conference. It had beon expected that Hirsch, 45, would take the job since last week.

At that time, he hinted broadly that he would leave his job as an executive with the Los Angeles Rams to return to the UW. But he said he wanted a few days to talk it over with his family and Rams owner Dan Reeves. Hirsch was the only candidate interviewed for the post. Hirsch received a $30,000 year, 5-year contract. In addition, he is assured of employment with the university for five years after that either as athletic director or in a "mutually agreeable role." He succeeds the late Ivan B.
