once-unbeatable hedges. 16-3
The loss marked the first

threw three incomplete passes
and had to settle for a field goal
of 39 yards.
The rest of the half saw the
Tigers get close twice, but the
Dog defense foiled both drives.
The Georgia backfield had
many substititions throughout
the game Jimmy Shirer. a
converted defensive back,
started and played much of the
game as a wide receiver
A nine-year-old worked
himself open for a lay-up that
would have put LSL's Pistol
Pete Maravich to shame, but
his weak arm was not quite
able to negotiate the 10-foot
basket height
The clinic ended with a film
of highlights of last year's
games, and Rosemond and
the players left with 35 new
friends
THIS IS not the only clinic
of this type Rosemond has set
up He has worked diligently
to build up basketball in this
area, and the progress is be
