Cal State Northridge primarily played him at power forward this year but he guarded practically every position throughout the season. Depending on what the team needed, he would try to stop a quicker wing from penetrating one game or take on a burly low-post scoring center the next.

I seldom got to see Lillian in action. She had very few wrestling matches on her home mat, and when I did attend a track meet, I tended to concentrate on the running events.

Even as the university generally is a large business, athletics as one of its most visible departments is a business in its own right. UCR plays in a Big West Conference that counts a lot of state schools among its ranks, and several in the Southland – UC Irvine, Cal State Northridge, Long Beach State, and Cal State Fullerton – are also Division I but none of these schools is anything like another Division I school, such as, say, UCLA. No huge basketball arenas, no football team with a big stadium, no huge TV contract with the conference paying each school a pile of cash. -- Press Enterprise
