Netters take Cavs
The Georgia Tennis Team'
ran their dual match record to
7-0 this week with impressive
wins over the University of
Tennessee-Chattanooga, Illi
nois State, and Virginia. The
Bulldogs played seven matches
in seven days, winning 56 sets
against only 7 for their oppo
nents

vid Dick are at 6-1. Freshman
Wesley Cash was also unde
feated with a 6-0 mark while
Dane Petchul is at 4-0 and
Ricky Diaz has three victories
in as many outing.
Tuesday the Dogs hosted
UTC, and the result was a
fairly easy 7-2 win. The match
was decided early as the Dogs
jumped out to a 6-0 lead with a
clean sweep of the singles.
Delaney, Von Dohlen, Cash,
Ellis, and Dick all were win
ners in straight sets while
Petchul was extended to three
sets by UTC’s Kyle Henderson
before winning 7-5 in the third.
Coach Dan Magill tried some
experimentation with the dou
bles, allowing Cash and Ricky
Diaz to play at the number two
spot, where they responded
with a 6-2, 6-3, victory. The
usual number two team of
Dick-Von Dohlen moved up to
number one and dropped a
tough three setter to, UTC’s
number one team of Harun
Ismail and Rob Casteri.

Ellis and sub Gil Gainer
paired up at number three, but
they were taken by the team of
Donigan-Henderson 6-3, 6-4.
Illinois State was the oppo
nent for Wednesday and Ma-
gill's charges were not too hos
pitable as they trounced the
visitors 9-0. The top five of
Ellis, Delaney, Von Dohlen,
Dick, and Cash were all
straight set winners, while

6-1, 6-0 win.
In the doubles Dick and
Delaney were matched to
gether and the duo jelled for a
6-2. 6-4. win. while top subs

looked super in a 6-3, 6-0, win
at number three.

singles lineup was the same as
for winners.
Charlie Ellis was particular
ly sharp at number one, win
ning 6-1, 6-4, over Virginia's
Howie Houftman Coach Magill
was extremely pleased with
Ellis' play and decided to rest
his top man in the doubles,
allowing Delaney and Dick to
again play number one.
Virginia's Jim Hilmer and
Hoyt Murray were their oppo
sition and the match proved to
be one of the most evenly
played and exciting doubles
play to be seen at Henry Field

take a 7-6, 6-7, 7-6, victory after
being down 5-3 in the final set.
The other doubles teams won
in straight sets; Von Dohlen-

Senior captain and
COPAS CONFIDENT
Golfers look
By MARC ROSE
Golf season is here once
again and the Georgia golf
team is ready to emerge as
one of the top teams in the
country.
Coach Dick Copas believes
the team is a strong national
contender this year even
though the competition is
tough, “We can't win every
weekend playing a schedule
like we do but we’ll stay
competitive." However, he al
so said there is no reason
Georgia can’t finish among the
top 10 teams in the nation.
The clubbers have already
played in one tournament, the
Seminole Invitational at Talla
hassee. Competition consisted
of 26 teams Including five of
the top 15 teams in the nation
and Georgia finished a very
successful third place, two
strokes behind the winner
Senior Gus Sylvan finished
second overall in the tourna
ment The next tournament for
Georgia is the Palmetto Inter
collegiate at Orangeburg, S.C.,
this weekend The Dogs are
pitted against 17 other teams
and Wake Forest, last year’s
national camps
There are a total of 13
players making up the Georgia
team and six men are chosen
for play in the tournaments.
The lowest five scores of the
six are counted in the tabula
tion of results And, of course,
not only the teams but also the
individual golfers of each team
are ranked in the final in the
final standings
The main stalwarts of the
Bulldog squad are four players
that Coaps believes to be
among the best on the colleg
iate level.
Chip Beck, a sophomore, is a
key to the team and with two
more years left, he should
develop into a remarkable
golfer Tim Simpson is another
sophomore who is as good as
any golfer and he won the
Palmetto Invitational last year
as a freshman.
Jim Becker, a junior, is a
golfer that Copas says can
compete with anyone in the
country. And speaking of Syl
van. Copas said. “He is doing a
tremendous job and is going to
be a solid player.”
Copas predicted, "We’ll fin
ish in the top 10 in the
country." The coach also
added, “If we play to our
potential, we're as good as
anybody, but we have to play
to our 100 per cent maximum
potential." According to him,
the .Southeastern conference is
the toughest golf conference in
the nation.
It takes a lot of practice and
play to develop enough prepar
ation for each tournament. And
since collegiate golf involves
team competition instead of
individual competition, like
professional golf, it is much
more difficult to be a winner in
golf.
Copas is in favor of team
tournaments and he said, “We
could play 20 or 30 matches
and win all of them but
individual matches don't pre-

With the quality personnel
and fine coaching the team
has, look for Georgia to finish
high in the nation when the
final poll is released.

Foley Field, home of the
Georgia Baseball Bulldogs, has
gone through many changes
during the off season and has a
new appearance for 1976. The
improvements have converted,
Foley Field into one of the
better baseball diamonds a-
round
According to Umstattd a big
reason for the successful con
dition of the baseball field is
J.W. Dillard. Dillard and his
maintenance crew have
worked many months in order
to have the park in top
condition for the start of the
season A new dirt texture in
the infield and grass in the
bullpen area are just a few
projects Dillard and his staff of
responsible for.
Umstattd has initiated many
eye catching improvements at
a minimal cost, and said, “It's
the little things that make the
difference at the ball park.
When people come to a game
they expect the big things, it's
the little things that catch the
attention of the spectators ”
Scattered around the outfield
fence are signs bearing all of
the names of the SEC teams.
Also on the fence for the first
time are markers showing the
distance from home plate to
various parts of the outfield.
Other new changes include five
new bat girls, a new PA
system and music between the
innings.
One ot the most visible
changes is the brand new
scoreboard. Installed only yes
terday, the scoreboard is an
addition to the ball park wel
comed by all.
A little red and black has
gone a long way in revamping
the Buidogs' home field. Fresh
paint now covers the dugouts,
the hatting cage and press box.
Umstattd hopes to paint the
Georgia baseball "G" on top of
both dugouts
He indicated, "The full po
tential of Foley Field is not
utilized," although he is quick
to point out, “any improve
ments will be dictated by the
success of the baseball team.”
The changes Umstattd has in
mind are mostly spectator
orientated. Bleachers are high
on the list of added improve
ments if enough interest is
generated in the team. Um
stattd favors a set of bleachers
along the third base line to
match the ones already along
the first base side.
For the fans who want to
enjoy the game with a beer
Umstattd advocates setting up
some bleachers outside the
stadium by the new scoreboard
The Bulldog mentor empha
sized that his program must
prove it deserves the improve
ments before anything hap
pens "It's kind of silly to ask
for new stands if the ones you
have are not full," he added.
Other possibilities for future
modifications include lights
and rest room facilities.
Georgia baseball promises to
be very entertaining and excit
ing. Umstattd urges students
to support the ball team and
states simply, "as far as
changes go. students have a
big voice in whatever’happens
All I ask is for every student to
come out and see one game
and if they don't like what they
see they don't have to come
back." Roy Umstattd is betting
they’ll like what they see.
Bill Daniel one of a kind
By STEVE SWANBECK
If dedication and hard work were measured
in dollars and cents, Bill Daniel would be
another Howard Hughes
Daniel, a modest, soft spoken, distance
runner for the Track Team, came to Georgia in
1971 without the benefit of a scholarship. .After
many grueling hours of practice, and proving
himself to be an asset more than once. Daniel
earned a scholarship, along with a starting
berth on the team.
Daniel specializes in the one-mile run, and
holds the school outdoor record of 4:08.7 in this
event. He is also a member of the cross
country team, which he captained last year,
and was a member of the two-mile outdoor
relay team in 1972 which set, and still holds,
the school record of 7:42.5.
"He’s definitely one of the hardest working
individuals on the team " said Head Coach
Lewis Gainey. "I've been out for rides on
Sundays and have seen Bill running as far
south as Watkinsville, which is 10 miles away.”
In order to stay in good shape a distance
runner has to keep up with his road work, and
Daniel is no exception. “I run an average of 10
miles per day, usually six days a week,” he
said
During Daniel's high school days in Sanders-
ville, he wasn't content with participating in
just two or three sports; he competed in four.
Besides setting the school records in the one
and two-mile runs, he pitched and played
outfield for the baseball team, played forward
on the basketball team, and was a wide
receiver on the football team
It's no wonder that in his senior year at T.J.
Elder High he was voted Best All Around
Athlete. "Some days were rough," Daniel said.
“1 would run the mile in a track meet, and then
rush over to the baseball field to pitch a
game.”
In addition to being a highly • determined
athlete, Daniel is also somewhat unique. There
are very few blacks who run the long distances
in collegiate track and field, and especially in
the SEC.
When Daniel competed in the 1975 SEC
Cross Country Championships there were 56
entries. Fifty five of them were white. “I’m not
sure why there aren't more black guys in the
long distances. I guess it’s because most of
them who are in track have a blazing speed
that is needed in the sprints," Daniel ex
plained.
When Bill first came to Georgia he was
nicknamed "Horse" by his fellow teammates.
“I guess it’s because I run like one," he
explained Whether his friends were implying
that he worked like a plow horse, or had the
qualities of a thoroughbred, no one is quite
sure The fact of the matter is that Daniel is a
combination of both, and with these attributes
he certainly lives up to his name.
The birds, animals & flowers
are dying to tell us...
"Give a hoot don't pollute."
