He nodded then went on: "And they have the finest set of running backs we've faced all season They use two quarterbacks like we do and two tailbacks like we do They keep doing the same thing over and

wouldn't cure hopes the seven-day break will bring the cold shooting to an end Monday night the Gents hit only 42 per cent but were saved in that Cal Poly shot only 40 per cent from the field With three and four sophomores on the floor during much of the game Swank pointed to their inexperience in explaining Cal Poly's furious rally in the final nine minutes "WE'RE TRYING to play so many sophomores" he said "and they get a little wild at times We have some good sophomores but they're not disciplined enough yet It just takes time and we don't want to push them too fast" There's also the question of size "We're sorely lacking a big man" says Swank a circumstance that puts most of the rebounding load on senior Fred Zitar moved to center from forward out of neccessity Centenary led
