Jackets Down Bulldogs
With Last Quarter Drive
By RILEY MANN
ATLANTA—Georgia hacked
and hacked, but it could not
offset a record by Georgia
Tech's Jim Caldwell as the
Bulldogs lost their basketball
opener Monday night in Alex
ander Memorial Coliseum, 73-
65.
The Bulldogs trailed by as
much as 16 points twice in the
final half. They closed in as
near as three. Then Caldwell
and company stretched it to
the final eight.
It took a record to over
shadow the performance of
Georgia sophomore Jerry
Walker. With 23 points the
evening’s high scorer, Waller
claimed 20 rebounds while
holding Caldwell to seven
field goals In 10 attempts
and a total of 10 points.
Actually, Caldwell did most
of his damage while the 6-7
Georgin center rested on the
Bench. In the first half Cald
well personally restrained
Georgia’s effort to pull away.
The score was tied eight
times before Tech Captain It.
I). Craddock put the Engineers
in front for good at 31-29. His
two free throws came with
3:55 remaining in the half, just
after Georgia Coach Red Law-
son removed Waller, Lee Mar
tin and Charles Bagby.
In that four-minute span the
Yellow Jackets scored 17
points, 11 of them from the
foul line.
It was Waller’s battle in
Die second half to pull Geor
gia into contention. Three
field goals by the big man,
including Georgia's last two,
pulled tile Bulldogs to with
in three points with 1:02 re
maining.
Then Craddock completed l
three-point play, comprised of
a layup and a free throw and
Mick Stenftenagel innde good
on a 25-footer with seven Bec
louds remaining, giving Tech
I its final spreud.
