Fredd Wayne will portray "Benjamin Franklin, Citizen" as part of the Palomar-MiraCosta sponsored Bicentennial Series, Thesday at8 p.m. in the Dome. "Benjamin Franklin, Citizen" was inspired by the readings of Charles Laughton and Hal Holbrook's portrayal of Mark Twain. The stage show is the result of two years intensive research unearthing facts about the life of Franklin. On stage, Wayne displays some of Franklin's inventions, portrays the gay but philosophical, yet devil-may-care wit of Franklin, and relates many of his experiences. Since Wayne began his portrait of Franklin in 1969, he has been widely acclaimed by many magazines and newspapers throughout the world. "An amazing and demanding assignment, which Wayne sustains with consistent variety ... A first rate show," says the Hollywood Reporter . Among his other achievements , Wayne has had articles published in life, Playboy, the New York Times magazines, the Los Angeles Times, the Arizona Republic, and other newspapers and magazines. As an actor, he has credits in eight movies, six Broadway plays, and 22 television shows. More information about this stage portrayal may be obtained from Dr. Theodore Kilman, Dean of Community Services, by calling 744-1150 or 726-7529.

Alien life topic of Sagan talk "Possibilities oflife on other planets is now a certainty, despite the fact that we do not know if there is life elsewhere," commented world famous scientist Dr. Carl Sagan in a lecture in the Student Union Friday evening. "In fact, I could give an extremely short presentation and merely say that we do not know if there is life elsewhere. "However, we know an increasing amount of information, and with the Viking spacecraft set to blast off in August, we are on the verge of performing the first critical tests to determine if there's life elsewhere or not." Dr. Sagan, advisor for the Viking space mission, is head of Cornell Uni versity's laboratory for Planetary Studies and author of the best-selling book "Cosmic Connection." Sagan's talk was the first in a series of lectures co-sponsored by Palomar and MiraCosta Colleges . "There are two principal methods
which we are on the verge of using. One is to send unmanned spacecraft to land on other planets and thereby directly searching for life. "The other is to use large radio telescopes to see if there are radio signals being sent our way by intelligent beings on planets of other stars. "So despite the fact that we are still very ignorant about this subject, we will shortly, I hope, be much more enlightened." Dr. Sagan presented a new veiw of the search for life in other parts of the universe by initiating an imaginary search for intelligent life on earth. "Imagine that we are Martians probing earth. At what point do we discover intelligent life?" Dr . Sagan then showed several photographs, one of the earth from a distance, one full size view ofthe earth, and one of the eastern sea board of the United States.
"This is the east coast, and there's no sign of life going on. The only thing you can determine about New York City is that it is dirty. The whole landscape has been discolored. This is true of all urban areas on this planet. "At kilometer resolution (which means the photo was taken one kilometer above the area), there is no sign of life in Los Angeles, New York, Moscow, or Peking. The only things these places show is dirt. "It would take a very clever Martian to discover that dirt is an intelligent sign of life. "Therefore, you could have a planet with a lot of life on it, and unless you make a very major effort to find that life, you might erroneously conclude the planet was lifeless. "For all of our senses of being important on this planet, we are largely invisible.lt is kind of a useful perspective upon our pride that such pictures
How Swede if is: Europeans aid track By Diane· Slezak Just acquiring last year's promising crop of high school seniors probably would have made head track coach Doc Marrin grin, but with the addition of eight European athletes, prospects look much "Swede-ter" for the 1975 season. Seven Swedish runners and one Swiss javelin thrower will join 25 lettermen and a number of outstanding freshmen to form what might be Palomar's strongest track team ever. Marrin, who has compiled a 55-18-1 record in seven seasons as head coach, was cautious in estimating his squad's strength. "We should be competitive," he stated. Still, the statistics speak for themselves. Palomar has enough depth in some events to fill two teams. Just to illustrate this point, there are 16 candidates capable of competing for three openings in the 440-yard dash. Led by Swedish returnee James Anderson, the sprinting events are expected to be strong. Anderson clocked a wind-aided 9.4 in the 100-yard dash at Las Vegas last season. Other possible
contenders for the century are Swedes Hakan Bjork (9.9), Per Reinholtz (9.9) and · Are Osterberg (9.9); sophomore Larry Halsey (10.0) and freshmen Doug Bell (10.0), Bill Bowker (10.1) and John Ray (10.2). Besides Anderson's and Reinholtz's 21.4 times in the 220, Bjork and Osterberg have turned in 21.7 clockings. The mile relay will probably turn out to be the Comets' strongest event. Ten athletes have broken the 50-second barrier for a 440 relay leg. Leading the times for the mile relay contenders is John Arne Nilsson's 47.8, followed by Reinholtz's 47.9 and Anderson's 48.3. Others under 50 seconds are Bjork, Osterberg, Mickey Johannson, Goran Aslev, Donn Marrin, Gus Bregy and Mike Marasco. Other Comet quartermilers include sophomores Dana Ray, Mel Hallam, Don Blake and Brian McMahon, plus freshmen Mike Grein and Rick Shahan. Among the halfmilers, Nilsson heads an outstanding field with a time of 1:49.0, well under Palomar's existing school record of 1:52.6, set by Jay Larkin in 1971. Johannson (1:51.7), Bregy (1:55),
Marasco (1 :56), Marrin (1 :57) , McMahon (1 :59) and freshman Mike Mitchell (1 :58.9) will provide a solid backup crew. Nilsson's 4:03 mile and 13:52 threemile marks establish him as a leading contender for the state distance title. Humberto Barajas, number one man on the 1974 cross country team, has bests of 4:17 and 14:35, respectively. Others bidding for spots in the distances are sophomores Matt Walker, Todd Gordon, Chris Harmon and freshmen Steve Ball, Ross Laird, Marasco, Aslev and Miguel Nolasco. Osterberg has a best of 14.6 in the 120yard high hurdles. Rob Thornburg, who ran 15.5 for the Comets last year, will be back this year. In addition, the Comets acquired several fine freshmen hurdlers, led by SDCIFthird place finisher Grein, who ran 14.5 in the shorter 39-inch high school hurdles. Shahan (14 7) ~d Ki~im Raddatz (15.1) Will c11ov · an m hurdles. In the 440 intermediate hurdles, Osterberg (53.5) will be challenged by Thornburg.

RIVERSIDE, SAN BERDOO HERE
Cagers play fierce Tigers By Carl Raedeker With their title hopes practically vanished, the Comet basketball squad hosts San Bernardino and Riverside tonight and tomorrow night in what should prove to be crucial contests insofar as determining the runnerup to probable champ, Riverside, which is currently out in front with a 8-1 mark. The Tigers' lone loss was a 78-58 drubbing by San Bernardino, which lost to Palomar, 91-64. The 7-3 Comets are battling for thesecond spot with Grossmont, San Berdoo and Saddleback. "In order to beat these teams," says Comet coach Andy Gilmour of Riverside and San Berdoo, "we must play closer, tighter defense than we have been. We can't give them the easy and second shots. "Offensively, we need better shot selection. This comes from being patient. We've been rushing our shots." Leading the Comets in scoring recentlv has been freshman forward Dean Zinky, who had played a reserve role during the early part of the season. Dean Zinky will be in the starting lineup along with his brother, Chuck, a6-7 sophomore center, and guards Henry Walther, Tim Ness and Lewis Montgomery. The latter was reinstated last Friday after being dropped because of discipline problems. High-jumping forward Bill Beckford will also see plenty of action. The Comets are coming off a 99-85 thrashing of Southwestern last Saturday night in Chula Vista. In that win Dean Zinky hit a season-high 33 points, ~ost of them coming on medium-range JUmpers. The locals were already coasting to victory by halftime when they held a 5533 advantage. Walther backed Dean Zinky's outburst with 22 points, while Montgomery added 17 to the Comet offense which shot a blistering 57 percent from the field. A 55-51 loss to Saddleback the previous Wednesday dashed the Comets' hopes of entering the Riverside game with the possibility of tying the Tigers for first place. The Comets allowed the Gauchos to score at will underneath, while appear-
point last year. With the return of pole vaulter Bill Jorgensen , shot putter Cary Cotten, triple jumper Al McClure, long jumper Bill Beckford and high jumper Thorn burg, things should not be any • different this season. Jorgensen, school record holder at 151, will be joined by sophomore Bill Clare (13-6) and newcomers Bill Reeve, Kevin Wheelock, Doug Kidder and Chris Holloway in the pole vault. In the weight events , Cotten was the Mission Conference shot put champ a year ago with a best of 52-9. He also had the Comets' best mark in the discus at 149-9. Joining him in the shot put will be John McFadden and Robert Runyon. Others throwing the platter are Mark Truncale, McFadden and Joe Friedrichs. The high jumpers may have their best competition among members of their own team. In addition to co-school record holder Thornburg (6-6 1/~). McClure (6-7) is expected to try the high jump again after skipping the event last season due to a knee injury. They will be joined by freshmen Don Fickle (6-5), Marasco (6-4) and Greg McClure (6-3). Al McClure was selected for the JC All-
Beckford had a best of 23-4 last season in the long jump before suffering an injury. He will be joined by letterman Mike Damewood (22-7). plus Martinez, McClure, Clark and Sweeney. Dieter Granicher of S\vitzerland has a best of213 feet in the javelin. Damewood is the top returnee at 19;l feet. Dana Ray, Kim Redding, Mark Patterson. Herman Riley and Robert Snead will also hurl the spear. The Comets open the season tomorrow at the San Diego Indoor Games in the Sports Arena. The outdoor season starts with the Mission Conference Relavs February 21, while the first dual m~et will be March 1 against the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.
Nikuls leads Comet sweep; await area regionals How often does a team annihilate two opponents by scores of 55-zip and 49-zip? That's what the Comet wrestling team did to Riverside and San Bernardino last Friday night in the Dome. Against Riverside in the first match Warren Nikuls scored a quick victory, pinning his man in 44 seconds. Mike Karges had a near repeat of Nikuls' performance. pinning his man in 55 seconds, while heavyweight Wayne Nickerson pinned his man in 4:15 minutes. In the romp over the Panthers, the Comets led from the outset as Ken Knoblock scored a 16-1 decision over his utaiJ at 1zo pounds. Two forfeits by the Panthers at 134 's and 142's did not dissuade the Comets, as number one ranked Don Barrios upped his undefeated streak with a 7-3 decision at 158's. After Barrios came three consecutive pins by Karges, Nikuls and Nickerson to ice the match. Terry Drew led the Comet swamp over San Berdoo in the second match, posting an 11-3 win at 118 pounds. San Berdoo forfeited at 126's and 134's, after which Bob Northridge won easily, 15-6, at 144's. James Brown won 7-1 at 150's, while Barrios repeated his earlier performance at 158, winning 7-3. Next came two more forfeits by San Berdoo at 167's and 177's. The match ended on a winning note for the Comets as Nikuls pinn-
ed his man in 3:58 and Nickerson pinned his opponent in 3:45. "Our record is pn•tty significant.." s:1id Coach John Woods. "We'vp won tlw major state tournaments at Cypn•ss. ('a! Poly and Fulll'rton. Now we'n• look ing forward to thl' statt> tournaml'nt. wlwn• we hope to placl' in the top hrackl't. However, Wl'.Vl' got to qualify in a regional tournament f1rst. "In order to win at state. we ha Vl' to gl't the good hn·aks and qualify tlw right people in th(• regionals. We've got to win where you'rp supposed to. Hut then• is a history of upspts during the state to urnaments. People get sick or injured. so we can't say for certain that we'll win thl' state crown ," said Woods. Against Grossmont, two weeks ago, the Comets were :l:l-H victors over th(• Griffins. DrPw got a decision at I HH's. while Kim Cline got a fall at !26's, Danny Fields won by decision, Harrios drew at 158's, Karges won by decision at !67's. larry Christman and Nikuls pinned their men, and Nickerson won by decision. Nikuls is now 2:l-O, 16 of those wins by pins. Thus far, he has also accumulated over 140 team points. Tonight the Comets meet Southwestern for their last dual match. Thursday, the Comets he1.(in the hmg final trek to state when they participate in the conference matches at Citrus.

ing sluggish offensively. Depth has been a problem for the Comets all season. For several games before Southwestern, Palomar was down to a nine-man squad. Now that Montgomery's back, the squad will probably remain at its present size unless Kevin Doyle, who was suspended with Montgomery, comes back. Another member, Robert Starkman,
quit and headed back to his homestate, New York. Despite the problems, things appear to be brighter now that Montgomery has returned and the subs are beginning to contribute more. "Mark Truncale has played excepti.onally well latelv," said Gilmour. "George Golden is coming off the bench and giving us a big lift. Mike Jack and Terry PhiJ?pen have also played well.
Freshman Randy Moss led the Comet swim team to a 65-33 victory over LA Harbor in the Palomar pool Friday, scoring double wins in the 1000 and 500 yard freestyles. Following Moss in sweeping the 500 free were Charles Glasgow and Kim Kiser, with times of 6:39 and 6:49.5, respectively. Geoff Dentz and Lucky Foreman were other double winners for the Comets. Dentz, a freshman, won the 50 yard freestyle in 23.5 seconds and the 100 free in 53.2. Foreman stroked to victory in the 200 individual medley (IM), with a 2:21.9 time. His second victory was in the 200 breaststroke, winning easily with a 2:38.7 time.
Local nine faces Southwestern Tuesday They say 75 percent of baseball is pitching. If that's the case, then Palomar's 1975 baseball squad should get their share of wins. Unfortunately, though, the Comets are inexperienced at the plate, returning only one regular, outfielder Jim Odle. Palomar's inexperience plagued them last Tuesday in a 5-4 loss to Orange Coast College. Two passed balls in the tenth inning by catcher Rene Gonzalez and some poor Comet baserunning earlier, led to the Comets' downfall. It was the third straight loss for the locals, who entered the Yuma Tournament yesterday with a 1-3 mark. They will open conference play next Tuesday at Southwestern. In defeat, Bob Stevens extended his hitting streak to four games, while Paco Gonzales, a freshman from Orange Glen, pitched well in relief. The strong· Comet pitching staff is led by sophomores Bruce Richardson, Jim Deaver, Kevin Skahan and freshmen Paco Gonzales and Stan Stutton, who started Tuesday's game. Richardson was 5-1 with a2.72 ERA in
American team last year following h.is triple jump mark, fourth best in the nation. He will be backed up by Beckford (44 feet), Hector Martinez (44 feet) and George Golden (43 feet), all returnees from last year's squad. Freshmen Casey Clark, Jaime Villalpando and Mark Sweeney will also be contenders. 49-10 1/~
11 appearances last season.
Skahan saw little action in 1~74, a_! though the_ hard- t ~row m g nghthander has Improved his control ~hi~ year, a~ evidenced by his five-: . l!l~ng, 11-s~keout performance before tmng and losmg to Mesa,9-8, last Saturday. Deaver started the season _opener for the Comets and responded With a threehit, eight-inning shutout before yielding in the ninth to Chuck Lopez, who preserved the 5-0 win over Imperial Valley College. Lopez, who threw for Palomar in 1973, is a skilled pitcher with a good curve. He was 7-0 two years ago with a 1.73 ERA He is expected to be the Comets' top reliever along with first year men Don Muren and Jim Spencer. Odle will primarily play in right field, although he may occasionally be stationed at catcher. The sophomore ·from Escondido High batted .270 for the Comets last year and is regarded for his consistency. In centerfielder Stevens the Comets figure to have a defensive standout and
also a strong offensive threat. . Bob Piva, the Comets' only lefthanded hitter, is positioned in left field. Freshman Jim Altobelli is also available in the outfield. Behind the plate will be either Mickey Rogers, a sophomore who saw limited action last season or Rene Gonzales, a first-year athlete from Fallbrook. Randy Johnson, the standout kicker on the '74 football team, will play first base. Johnson, whose brother, Don, played for Palomar last spring and was drafted by the California Angels, is expected to be one of the top hitters on the squad. At second base there's a battle going on between freshman Curt Courian and Dick Christman to determine who'll start. Second year man Bob Thayer appears to have the starting shortstop spot all sewed up, with Mark Berg in reserve. Hank Ashworth, a utility man last season, will handle third base. Ashworth can also play shortstop and second base. Scott Burton will back him up.
"All in all, it looks as though the Comets will be involved in many close, lowscoring contests," said coach Jim Clayton. "They will probably have to scrape for their runs, while the promising pitching corps should allow even fewer on the average. "Pitching is our strong point because of our depth," says coach Clayton. "Most of our hitters are inexperienced. They were good high school hitters, but they'll probably have to adapt to college ball," said Clayton. Although they probably won't be as strong as last season's 25-13 squad, the Comets may develop offensively and challenge San Diego City in the newlyarranged conference setup. The nine tearri Mission Conference will be split into two divisions, the North and the South . Palomar will play their southern division foes, Grossmont, San Diego, Southwestern and Saddleback twice at home and twice away. Their opponents in the northern division, Chaffey, Citrus, San Bernardino and Riverside, will host the Comets once and visit them one time.
Fred Lundquist is expected to be a mainstay for the Comets. His 1:58.7 time for the 200 freestyle, the best time of the day, proved it. Lundquist also led off the victorious Comet freestyle relay team of Pete Rilley, Dentz, and Moss. Lundquist's time in the 100 yards was 51.8 seconds, 1.4 seconds better than the winning time in that event. Other C',omet scorers were Rilley with seconds in the 200 free and 100 free; Glasgow with seconds in the 500 and 50 free; Ken Edwards with a second place in the 200 butterfly; Gayle Bates with thirds in the 200 backstroke and 200 breaststroke; and Dale Kimball with 100.35 points in the diving competition. "Generally, for the first meet, we had a lot of good times," said coach Don Hubbard. "We were much tougher in the sprints than I thought. Moss and Dentz are really versatile swimmers. And of course we had a good relay time," said Hubbard.
Netters whip Mesa; meet SC, Spartans Taking all but one doubles match, the Palomar men's tennis team trounced San Diego Mesa, 8-1, last Tuesday on the Comet courts. Peter Hanssen had little trouble with Mesa's Robin McKee, taking him 6-2,6-1 in the top match of the day. Comets Thomas Wallen and Roger Hulbert also won their singles matches in two sets, Wallen beating Craig Peterson, 6-3, 6-4 and Hulbert claiming a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Carl Robinson. In the longest singles match of the day, Ken Peet pulled out a victory over Mesa's Gary Blevins, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Ray Smith and Rob Peterson also won their matches for the Comets after surrendering their first set to their Mesa opponents. Palomar is at USC today. They will host Mira Costa Monday, the Naval Training Center Tuesday and will travel to UCLA Wednesday.
