Stanfill fulfills image
Augusta, Ga. I I*I — Lee
Trevino said Tuesday that no
man will ever again come as
close as Jack Nicklaus did last
year to scoring pro golf's first
"grand slam."
The elusive slam consists of
the Masters, the U.8. and
liritish linens and the PC. A
championship. Nicklaus has
won all four at least twice, but
no one has won all four the
same year. Nicklaus was half
way there last year when he
won the Masters and 11.S. Opel)

You can let every meterolo-
gist in town talk your
barometer off about the
principle causes of those
tornadoes that we all became
familiar with last weekend
You know, about temperature
inversions and all that.
Something else could've
helped. The tornadoes could
have been aided by Bill Stanfill
yawning or taking a deep
breath.
Stanfill, most will remem
ber, was a three-time AIIA-
merican defensive lineman
with the Bulldogs and is now
an All-Pro defensive end with
the world champion Miami
Dolphins. He happened to
make a casual appearance at
the Bulldogs’ spring football
workout Monday, and, immedi
ately, eyes were bulging and
hands were shaking
STANFILL is unbelievably
large. “Ah just weighed back
ovah theah,” he drawled,
pointing towards Stegeman,
"and Ah weighed in at 254 with
what Ah got on (street
clothes)."
Stanfill even acts like a pro
athlete He has now adopted
the practice of chewing (chaw
in’) tobacco. "It’s not s'bad,"
he says. It's easy to tell,
though, that he's a relative
novice. After all, no one ever
saw Nellie Fox or Richie
Hebner with tobacco drooling
down their cheeks or spotted
on their flashy white Pumas,
as is the case with Stanfill.
He is relatively unfamiliar
with modern Georgia. He was
constantly spitting out ques-

Virginia
By KEITH JONES
It wasn't exactly an ideal
day for tennis. Just ask the
Virginia Cavaliers.
Between the wind and the
Georgia Bulldogs the ACC
antagonists were blown off the
Georgia home courts by the
score of 9-0.
Had it not been for the
number three singles the
match might have been one of
the shortest on record. Two
southpaws, Georgia's Gordon
Smith and Cavalier Rick Swift
dueled for nearly two hours
with Smith finally emergingthe
victor 4-6, 6-2, and 6-4
Two of the Dogs' strongest
showings came on courts two
and four. At number two, Bob
Tanis swept past Frank Hatten
6-1, 6-2 while Bill Kopecky was
destroying Hoyt Murray 6-2,
6-0 on court four
In the other singles Manuel
Diaz, Carey Browder, and
reserve Jack Sisley also gained
impressive victories, all in
straight sets
David Dick, who usually
holds down Georgia's number
six position, defeated Brent
Hughes in a challenge match
to decide who would be playing
at number six.
The Bulldogs also look the
doubles in familiar fashion
with the toughest opposition
coming from Jim Ratliff and
Rick Swift on court one Down
4-2 in the tiebreaker of the
second set, the Virginians
broke three straight Gordon
Smith serves, only to prolong
their defeat to a third set. The
final tally was 6-2, 6-7, and 6-3.
Diaz and Kopecky disposed
with the team of Hatten-Mur-
ray by the count of 6-2, 6-4 at
number two. And, on court
three Sisley and Browder
whipped Howie Hauptman and
Frank Spratlin 6-4, 7-5.
With Virginia now out of the
way Coach Dan Magill has
already begun worrying about
this weekend
"We've got three of the top
teams in the South coming to
town this week Wake Forest is
rated third, only behind Miami
and North Carolina, and will
be here Friday,” remarked
Magill. "Although we've beat
en Florida twice they stand a
real good chance of beating
us," he continued.
The Gators will be here
Saturday and Tennessee, led
by the SEC No 1 Champion,
Paul Van Min, will do battle
with the Dogs at 2 p.m. on
Sunday.
Backfisch
produces
Rohan Backfisch, Georgia's
main offensive threat all year,
notched the soccer club's lone
goal in a 4-1 loss to Clemson
over the weekend .
The team visits Alabama
this weekend before returning
home for an April 14 match
against Toccoa
lions to various assistants.
"When did you get those?
(inquiring of the dressing
rooms.)" "Who's number 18?
(Ralph Page.)" “Who did
this?" "Who did that?"
Since helping beat the
Redskins in the Super Bowl,
Stanfill has been "fishin' and
makin' the banquet circuit,"
he says with a smile,
indicating what a farce the
speaking engagements are.
Fishing's no farce, though
"Hmv'c shout vou 'n me doin’
some fishin,’ Bill?" hollered
Squab Jones.
"Jes' call me up and say
Let s do some fishin,' Squab',
an' I’ll be ready," was the
quick reply
PEOPLE whom Stanfill had
never seen before greeted him
as an old friend and began
firing away. “Did the Dolphins
get any help in the draft?,"
etc.
"They don't need any," he
said People kept asking about
Don Shula and Bob Griese and
the rest oi the guys, but no
great secrets were revealed.
Everyone also wanted to see
his Super Bowl ring, which he
didn't have on.
Other than turning a few
heads. Stanfill created little
excitement except making the
sky disappear behind his huge
frame (no doubt Curt Gowdy
will start calling him "E-
clipse" sooner or later). But
his presence made a lazy
Spring day something to
remember.
