Tech crumples 'Dogs
By FREDDY JONES
The best way to understand
a Georgia-Georgia Tech base
ball rivalry is to keep in mind
that Abner Doubleday had no
conceptions that his game
would be played in the manner
that these two teams employed
Base running, pitching, and
basic fundamentals were
thrown out the window and the
name of the game became
slugging This was the case
Tuesday in Atlanta as Georgia
Tech dumped the Bulldogs
10-9, thus avenging an earlier
16-lt setback in Athens.
THE YELLOW Jackets drew
first blood in the opening
inning against Georgia starter
Jim Cannon. Tech increased
their one run lead in the
second and took a 2-0 advan
tage to the Georgia half of the
third before the Bulldog offen
sive unit decided that the only
way they could win was by

hitting.
The Dogs responded with a
three spot and appeared to be
heading for another win over
their arch rivals. However,
Frank Turner and Jim Stevens
had other ideas as they contri
buted three hits each in leading
a 14 hit assault by Tech which
resulted in eight additional
runs with the highlight being a
five run fifth inning The duo of
Turner and Stevens received
offensive support from H.F.
Reafin who drove in his 38th
RBI of the season, Tuesday,
thus tying a school record heid

WHILE TECH was busy
keeping the Bulldog pitching
staff in trouble, the Georgia
batsmen suddenly decided to
change the tide Georgia ral
lied for three runs in the fifth,
one in the sixth, and desperate
ly added three more runs in
the ninth before being denied
victory by reliever Steve Mc
Dowell The Dogs offensive
punch was supplied by Joe
Herb and Billy Griffith who
accounted for two homeruns in
the mid innings.

Workout extended
By STEVE BURNS
Associate sports editor
Riddle of the week: When is
a G-Day not a G-Day?
Well, it could be when the
G-Day football game does not
signal the end of spring football
at Georgia, as has traditionally
been its purpose This year,
Head Coach Vince Dooley,
aware of the need for extensive
work, extended spring football
practice for a week after the
spring game to have more of a
look at his team.
LAST SATURDAY', the Dogs
went through a controlled
scrimmage in Sanford Stadium
in their final workout of the
year. The temperature was
hot. but most of the players
certainly weren't There were
some outstanding individual
efforts, particularly on runs by
Glynn Harrison. John Lazza-
retto, and a few others, but
several of the major problems
again failed to resolve themsel
ves.
On the whole, the entire
team needs a lot of shaping up
before the Oregon State opener
in Athens on Sept. 14. No one
knows this better than Dooley,
and he'll even tell you about it,
as he has sometimes been
accused of refusing to do
"I wish that we could start
now. with the weather being
the way it is,” he said,
referring to the 70-plus temper
atures that we have been
blessed with the past week He
could just as well have said
that he wishes practice could
continue, the way he said it.
He's no fool He knows there’s
lots to be done
THE QUARTERBACK situa
lion remains virtually unchan
ged from the previous week
'Both Robinson and Clark
looked good at times today,”
admitted Dooley, "and right
now I’d say that they are dead
even in the quarterback spot.
(Ralphi Page and (Phil> Por
ter are just a step below
them ”
The coach, of course, intends
to throw the door wide open
again come fall, as Ray Goff
and a few freshmen will enter
the picture. There is also a
possibility that Anthony Flana
gan will renege on his original
intent to stick to basketball
only and give it a try with the
Georgia gridders.
Dooley had stated earlier
that he did not expect Flana
gan to play football his fresh
man year, but the Southwest-
Atlanta whiz said this past
week that he may consider
coming out for the team this
fall He would most definitely
be welcomed with opened arms.
"I think that we have got a
lot accomplished this spring,
confided Dooley, "but we have
a long way to go before we
have 22 winners out there."
“I thought Glynn Harrison
made some fine runs out there
today,” continued the coach,
referring just as much to
Harrison's consistency and sta
bilizing qualities on offense as
to his running abilities One
thing that will be needed for
next year's team will be a
leaderisi, and Dooley is hoping
someone will step forth and fill
the bill Thus far. no one has
"WHEN YOU REALIZE that
we lost three fine backs (Andy
Johnson. Jimmy Poulos. Bobby
Burns), you begin to get an
idea." he said "Also we lost
some fine defensive backs like
(Jcrone) Jackson and (DonI
Golden that we must replace.
There were people on the
defensive line like (Jim) Cagle
and (Milton) Bruce who played
well for us."
"We have some linemen at
times who have proven to be
winners," continued Dooley,”
but some of them are awful
large and it will take a lot of
discipline for them to get into
good shape by August." There
was an unusual accent on the
word large there, meaning
lard, perhaps
Now what? "All the coaches
will hit the road now. There is
a lot of visitation and recruit
ing left in the state of Georgia,
with all the high schools having
their spring drills going.""
There’s a lot of work to be
done on the home front as well.
Jim Beavers. With the bases
full, Tech reliever Steve McDo
well came in and forced Terry
Thompson to ground into a
double play which scored ano
ther Bulldog run The Dogs
scored their final run when
Jim Turner singled home Joe
Herb. Turner missed a home-
run on the previous pitch when
his drive curved foul by a foot.
Women
golfers
cool off
By KATHY BELL
“It v.as like playing here in
the winter," said women’s golf
Coach Elizabeth Murphy after
the lady golfers were cooled off
a bit, losing to Furman in the
chilly 45 degree winds of
Greenville last Wednesday. The
final score was 16‘* to m,
giving the golfers a record of
5-2.
GEORGIA'S DAWN Young
shot 82. good for one team
point, and Tori Askerberg ear
ned the other half of a point
with an 88 Freshman Gina
McCall shot a 96, while Jan
Tippett slumped to a 98, and
neither won a point.
Murphy said she wasn’t dis
couraged over the loss. “I feel
we do well considering we
don’t do any recruiting,” she
remarked.
"We need money just to
build the program we have
now. It wouldn't be feasible to
offer scholarships at the ex
pense of the program," she
added.
The golfers are now getting
ready for the UGA Invitational
which takes place this week
end. The Bulldogs will host
Furman, Auburn, Valdosta,
Georgia College, North Caroli
na, Rollins College, Miami
Dade. Florida and Appalachi
an.
"I'M ESPECIALLY looking
forward to seeing how Furman
does against the Florida team,”
said Murphy. Furman was the
winner of the Carolina tourna
ments, while Florida won the
Lady Gator Tournament.
The UGA Invitational starts
on Friday on the University
golf course and will run through
Saturday.
