'TNrwftoy tlprwitMW IS IMF OAKl AND TRtflJNF HB7 ometowrCfcpo ILL up for visit to Coliseum Crlddle Criddle has-been averaging over 18 points a game for the Tigers 1 YEARS PAST hype of a Bishop O'Dowd-St Joseph basketball game automatically drew interest around the Eastbay games were then moved to the Oakland Coliseum a place to which anyone interested in seeing a good 1 basketball game would have access and at an affordable price Williams said he learned his basketball knowledge from former Castlemont and now late coach Dave Shigematsn who Williams played for in his athletic days Jim Pimentel I Williams has previously coached FYemont teams that have reached the NorCal playoffs and pkyed at the Coliseum but this will be their first experience playing in the Oak-land Arena in the preseason Well this year the Dragons will again be playing on the Golden State Warriors home court this time against Oakland Athletic League challenger Fremont High THESE GIRLS CAN PLAY TOO: Tire OAL girls are in a tight race for bragging rights Tyesia Hunter is averaging 13 points a game for Skyline 3-1 Laura Goven has been pacing the Wildcat attach and has led Oakland to a 2-1 record Castlemont is led by Pamela Price who is coming off a career-high 15 pointsagainst Alameda Tuesday THE RANKINGS NOW: Here is how I see the OAL right now (from first to worst): 1 FYemont 20akland Tech

along egith an assortment of other talent and coach Hike Phelps always had a well-rounded Dragon team the schools did not have enough room in their respective gymnasiums to allow everyone who wanted to view the game Williams said it will be a good test for his Tigers "You always know Phelps will have his team -playing good basketball going to be a big game no doubt" THIS MACHINE DOESNT lIEj Williams has an interesting message on his home answering machine McClymonds 4-5 on the year are led by Prlsdla Mosley Mosley has been averaging over 1 1 points a game and is the key to the team The game will take place Wednesday Jan 4 with the Jayvee tipping off at 6:30 pm and the varsity beginning at 7 Tickets are $10 courtside and $5 for the upper reserved seats behind the basket Call Bishop O'Dowd at 577-9168 or Fremont at 261-3240 for tickets and tradition is the key to winning" is how the message ended and Williams is a firm believer Oakland Tech needs to improve its defense as the Bulldogs are giving up close to 75 points a game So the athletic directors decided to move the games between the two teams to Cal State Hayward Williams an off-campus coach said there wouldn't be enough room to play the game at either of the schools 'We had to turn people -away when we played Balboa this year It's good the game will be played at the Coliseum ft win be an exciting night" believe there are five keys to winning and our kids know what they are" he said first is defense and the second is press The third is to dominate the boards and four is to execute The final is to do it together as a team" "I really wanted this for the kids" said Fremont coach Clint Williams it was always St Joe and Bishop playing in the Coliseum but I think one of the elite teams now" FYemont is being sparked by two players Tiffany Winrow and Calani Campbell The two players have the Lady Tigers off to a 3-4 start But with the two powerhouses contending for the Northern California championship year-afteryear the Hayward campus also turned out to be too small and the Jim Pimentel can be reached at 208-6462 or by FAX at Fremont is off to a 7-1 start and led by St Joseph transfer Calvin Prop 187 ruckus fails to ice Chivas but Santos does 3-1 By Matt Schwab STAFF WRITER sparse crowd of about 5000 people looked on Santos known as the club Pele led to five consecutive Brazilian championships in the early 1960s features son Edinho in goal Pele himself one month ago made big news in Brazil by returning to Santos as a member on its board of directors Santos trailed 1-0 at halftime and moved forward with more directness in the final 45 minutes Demetrios tied the match 1-1 at 53:32 after receiving a beautiful chest pass on the left side from Rk-nieli Demetrios hit the shot with his right foot into the far comer Serginho set up the score with a right-to-left cross to RanielL Four minutes later Dinho scored what proved to be the game-winner by ripping a shot that deflected in off a defender Santos had three big chances during the scoring sequence including a shot by Serginho off the cross bar that deflected to Dinho Giovani scored the third Santos goal off a comer kick from Ranieli at 72:19 The only goal of the first half came when Chivas' Mexican national team pool' player Eduardo Missael headed in a cross from left wing Ignacio Vasques at 43:18 On the pretty scoring play Alberto Garcia sent the ball up the left flank and Vasquez had plenty of space to operate before lifting a long ball over a crowded penalty box Santos goalie Edinho got caught off his line coming out and Vasquez had an easy shot Into the far comer The Santos defenders appeared to be sucked in to the middle on the play thus leaving Missael free to bum them OAKLAND Brazilian soccer and the Bay Area seem like a perfect fit That fit however may not seen again here soon at least against teams from Mexico thanks to a boycott inspired by protests to Proposition 187 Even so five months after Brazil's national team captured three matches at Stanford Stadium en route to a World Cup title Santos of Brazil managed a come-from-behind 3-1 victory Wednesday night over Chivas of Mexico at the Coliseum This may be the last match involving a first division Mexican team at the Coliseum for some time In the wake of the passage by California voters of Prop 187 which calls for denial of educational and medical benefits to illegal aliens representatives of the Mexican first division voted to boycott matches in California after honoring any contracts that already had been signed The Chivas-Santos match was one such contracted match Also a planned television series to involve the LA Salsa of the American Proessional Soccer League playing against Mexican teams was scrapped voluntarily by the Salsa even though the contract had been signed Salsa spokesman David Bolton said The package was to involve 19 matches Bolton said Bolton said he hadn't heard word of any planned fan boycott for the Chivas-Santos match because of Prop 187 Perhaps as a show of their anger some fans whistled heartily Wednesday night after the "Star-Spangled Banner" was played Santos shredded the Chivas defense in the second half with its methodical precision passing style A JUST 20 PER MONTH (UP TO 200 4 TlTA jpnMEE ceepT Autormd SMi RtpfBMnMivB SAN LEANDRO FREMONT OAKLAND HILLS i483-2355
