Dogs beat Jackets
in final home game
By BOB GILLETTE
Sports editor
The University of Georgia's soccer
team continued its winning ways this
weekend by defeating arch-rival Georgia
Tech 4-2
The victory over Tech insured the
Bulldog soccer team an unblemished
home game record, as this was the last
home game of the season for the 'Dogs.
Georgia Tech drew first blood in the
driving rain on Saturday and managed a
2-0 lead just prior to the close of the half.
Then Rohan Backfish made an unassisted
goal for the 'Dogs and the half ended
with Tech on top 2-1.
The Bulldogs ignored the inclement
weather in the second half, controlling
the scoring for the rest of the game.
Laurie MacSheain’s goal tied the game
early in the second half, and a 40-yard
shot from Louis Vela/co put the 'Dogs
ahead to stay. The finishing touches were
put on the Yellow Jackets on a pass from
MacSheain to Backfish, who put the ball
into the corner of the goal.
I his Saturday’s victory followed on
the heels of a 7-2 pasting of a combined
( itadel-Spamsh Navy team in ( harleston
last Saturday.
The game at Charleston climaxed the
team's last extensive road trip, and the
hero of that game was Brazilian Juca
Lope/., who scored three goals despite a
severe knee injury. The Brazilian’s luck
ran out against Georgia Tech, as Lopez
re-injured the knee and was carried to the
infirmary
Since fall of 1970 the 'Dogs have not
lost a home game. In fact the only
blemish on the team's record is a 3-2
defeat at the hands of Ft. Benning, a loss
which Georgia avenged in a rematch in
Athens 7-1.
The ’Dogs travel to Atlanta this
Saturday to play their last game of the
season against Georgia Tech at 11 a m. in
Grant Field. Ihe ’Dogs have met twice
this year, and Georgia holds an edge in
the record, one win and one tie.
Cited in Saturday rain swept victory
over Tech were David Gopal of India,
Colin Willmer of England, and the injured
Juca Lopez.

By BRUCE EINLAND

successful season by capturing
their second consecutive
Southeastern Conference
C
M
tennis championship in
Knoxville Saturday

competition, Georgia was
leading the field with 24 points
and needed to win but one of
the final matches to clinch the
championship The Bulldogs
quickly got that when
freshman Manuel Diaz won the
number six division title for
the 'Dogs.
In perhaps the major upset
of the tournament, Tennessee's
Paul Van Min defeated Danny
Birchmore in the number one
singles final 6-4,7-6. Birchmore
was the heavy favorite in that
match and had previously
defeated Van Min in straight
sets earlier this season.
Georgia finished the
competition with 27 points,
out-distancing Tennessee and
Mississippi State who tied for
second place with 21 points
apiece Alabama came in
fourth with 13 points,
followed by Florida with 11,
Kentucky with 7, LSU 5,
Vanderbilt also with 5, Ole
Miss, and Auburn in last place
with one point.
It was the freshmen
members of the Georgia team
that came home with the
honors. Diaz defeated Gopie
Krishna of Miss St. 6-1,6-4, for
the number six title, then was
followed by Gordon Smith
winning the number four title
for Georgia. Smith blasted
Tennessee’s Dan Huber 6-1,6-2,
to cap a great seasn for the tall
Rome, Ga. native.
Smith then teamed with
Diaz in the number three
doubles to defeat Marc Bolle
and Robert Van Malder
6-3,6-4. It was the only
doubles win for the Bulldogs,
who were upset in the number
one doubles finals by Florida.
Carey Browder, surprising
quite a few people, played
extremely well and made it to
the number three finals. He
was beaten by Carlos Ayala of
Miss. St. 6-4,3-6,6-1, in his bid
for a second straight SEC

Lady netters'
off key finale
By ELLEN HORTON
Georgia’s female golfers
closed out their season
Wednesday on a sour note,
losing to the visiting girls from
Furman University by a score
of 12-6
The defeat dropped the
team’s record below the .500
mark for the first time during
the season, as they close out
their year with a 4-5 mark.
Mary King, number one for
Georgia, lost 0-3 to her
Furman counterpart, Beth
Solomon, who shot a 79 to
take medalist honors.
Georgia coach Ms. Elizabeth
Murphey had praise for Ms.
Solomon, saying that “any girl
who can shoot 80 or better on
our course is doing mighty
good.”
Other head-to-head matches
saw Janet Carpenter (G)
defeated by Beth English (F),
0-3, Nancy Brown (F), edging
Jean H.tms <(.), 2-1, Tori
Askerberg (G) losing to Gwen
Hyatt (F), 0-3, Jan Tredo (G)
outlasting Cathi Grove (F), 2-1,
and Patsy Clary (G) blanking
Joy Parrish (F), 3-0.
Ms Murphey admitted that
the Georgia girls usually play
much better, especially here on
singles title.
Bob Tams and Bill Kopecky
were both upset in the earlier
rounds of singles competition.
Tanis bowed out of the
number two division on Friday
while Kopecky was eliminated
from the number five division.
Kopecky teamed with Carey
Browder to advance to the
semifinals in number two
doubles but were beaten in a
three set tie-breaker by
Florida.
their home course.
“They just had a bad day all
around all of them. Even the
Furman girls, with the
exception of Beth Solomon,
didn’t play real well," she said.
With the regular season
over, some of the girls will be
looking ahead to the Women’s
National Intercollegiate
Tournament, which was held at
the University course last year.
This year’s event will take
place in June at the University
of New Mexico in Las Cruses,
and Georgia will be resting its
hopes on Ms. King, who won in
the Third Plight last year, and
possibly Ms. Askerberg, who
has not made a final decision as
to whether or not she will
attend the tournament.
This will be the third
straight year Ms. King has
attended the event, and she
hopes to move into the Second
Plight this year. All entrants
must have a handicap of 20 or
less, but, according to Ms.
Murphey, “most of the girls
have handicaps between 10 and
15.” Ms. King has a
12-handicap, while Ms.
Askerberg carries a handicap of
15.
Bulldog golfers
take SEC title

they iptured their fourth
straignt SEC title this past
weekend at Callaw • Gardens.
Rainy skies and soggy
ground produced playing
conditions Saturda) that only
the Bulldogs could seem to
cope with as they rebound. 1
from an eight-stroke first
round deficit to take a
seemingly safe 11-stroke lead
into Sunday’s final round.
First-round leader Florida,
attempting to stage a
comeback of its own. saw its
final charge fall four strokes
short as the ’Dogs held on for a
1117 to 1121 victory in the
three-day, 54-hole event.
For Coach Dick Copas, it is
the second title in as many
years as head coach, but the
circumstances are slightly
different. This year’s
championship team, composed
of three freshmen, one
sophomore, and one senior, is
the direct result of Copas’
coaching, whereas last year’s
talent was inherited from
former coach. Howell Hollis.
“Yes, this was far more
satisfying than last year,’’ said
copas. “Last year everybody
expected us to win, but this
time, I don’t think too many
people gave us much chance.”
“But don’t give me credit
for the win. The kids deserve
credit for everything. They
battled all spring against the
odds, and the younger ones
really did a lot of growing up
during the tournament,” he
continued.
Florida, a team so strong
that last year’s SEC medalist
Jimmy McQuillan could not
qualify this year, jumped out
to an eight-stroke lead over the
Bulldogs, but the difference
was partly due to the
disappointing
Georgia.
shooting of
Saturday, the Gators
collapsed as the Bulldogs
picked up 19 strokes in what
turned out to be a two-team
tournament. This second round
was played in a rain which
caused a two-hour delay.
Mickey Mabry of Tennessee
took medalist honors as he
paced the Vols to a fast closing
third-place finish. Mabry shot a
hot 68 Sunday to end with
217.
Georgia freshman David
Canipe was runner-up to Mabry
with a 220. as he and fellow
freshman Mike Fambrough
(222) led the Bulldog shooters.
