Dan Magil! ha» built tennis powerhouse here

according to most experts
By TOM CRAWFORD

A question many Bulldog
f ins are asking is Who will be
die SEC champion this year if
Georgia isn’t'’
Most stalled experts pick
Ole Miss for No. I. and with
good reason Any team that in
cludes a Heisman trophy candi
date among its returnees must
be given respect
Archie Manning, a good of
buy out of Drew. Miss., is the
player Ole Miss is built around
He can throw short or long, or
he can roll out and run Only
one team. Houston, was able
really to contain him last year
Archie led the Rebels to big
victories over Georgia. Tennes
see. LSI! and Arkansas One-
point losses to Kentucky and
Alabama kept the Rebs from
taking the SEC title
MANNING’S helpmates on
offense include ends Floyd
Franks and Jim Poole and run
ning backs Luther Webb and
Randy Reed Ole Miss should
be adequate on defense
Florida. Auburn and LSI! are
ranked right behind Mississip
pi
The Gators are loaded on
offense with the likes of quart
erback John Reaves and flank
er Carlos Alvarez Tommy
Durrance and Mike Rich han

Auburn s rock hard defense
has been gutted by graduation,
but the Tigers have plenty of
ammunition left for the of
