DIGENNARO STARS
UGA defeats LSU
By STEVE SWAN BECK
The Georgia wrestlers beat
LSU and Auburn in the
Coliseum last weekend, thus
ending a perfect home
season, and boosting their
record to 12-7 overall and 3-2
in the Southeastern Confer
ence (SEC).
According to Georgia
Coach George Reid, the
Bulldog matmen wrestled
very aggressively against
LSU on Friday but slacked
off on Saturday against
Auburn.
"They did what they were
supposed to do,” Reid said
after the Friday night match.
But. the following evening he
summed up the Georgia
performance this way: ‘‘I
don't think we wrestled up to
our potential We could have
been flat."
The LSU Tigers, a team
which has been considered
tough this season, managed
only one win and one tie on
their side of the scoreboard.
The final tally read 32-5,
Georgia
At 118 lbs., Georgia’s Dan
Perri completely outclassed
Kevin Kindschuh, and Easily
scored an 8-3 decision.
The 126 lb slot marked the
only Georgia loss bcott
Oswald scored five points for
LSU in the third period of his
bout with Bulldog Barry
Drill, and won the match
10-4
Georgia's 134 lb Mark
Reeve fought a tenacious
Scott Preston for a long eight
minutes The two exchanged
points throughout the three
periods, but at the final
buzzer Reeve won by a
narrow 8-6 margin.
The next bout, at 142 lbs.,
proved to be the only draw of
the evening Bulldogs Steve
Baney kept moving and
shooting on his opponent
Mixe Millay in the third
period, but as the bout ended,
the score read 4-4.
The rest of the evening
belonged to the Dogs.
At 150 lbs. Matt Morris
displayed amazing courage
for the homecrowd fans In
the second period his already
ailing ribs were wrenched by
LSU’s powerful Joe Bruno.

However, after a minute’s
recuperation, Morris fought
back and won a 22-14 major
decision.
Dave Landis boosted his
season record to 12-3-2 by
scoring a 4-1 decision over
John Henry at the 158 lb. slot.
The 167 lb. bout matched
Georgia's Dan Hovey against
Dave Sanford. The match
was close going into the third
period, when Hovey came on
at 6:39 and scored the only
pin of the evening.
Jim DiGennaro, at 177 lbs .
did what he has been doing
all season for the Bulldogs.
The Georgia captain com
pletely dominated his oppon
ent and handily chalked up a
12-0 superior decision.
Freshnvan Alex DeCubas
mixed it up with LSU’s Tom
Martucci throughout their
entire bout. DeCubas would
take Martucci down.but the
LSU opponent would escape
That occured several times
until the eight minute match
ended with DeCubas on top
6-4.
In the heavyweight slot
Georgia's BillSpindler kept
the fans waiting anxiously
until with 10 seconds remain
ing on the clock he took down
Ray Mignone for two points
and a 4-2 victory. That
match evened a vendetta for
Spindler. as Mignone was the
only man to beat Spindler
last year in high school.

Georgia's basketball fortunes
continued to crumble last night
as the Dogs lost 78-68 to
Alabama in a game that was
much closer than the score
indicated.
Georgia guard Jimmy Daugh

<20 points) was wasted as the
Bulldogs faded down (he
stretch David Keavis tallied 14
points while Tony Flanagan
and Charlie Dorsey added 10
each
The Bulldogs led at the end
of the first half 35-32 thanks to
60 per cent shooting from the
floor, and seven of eight points
from the foul line. At the same
time Alabama was showing the
effects of being eliminated
from the Southeastern Confer
ence (SEC) race by Tennessee
last Saturday The Crimson
Tide only shot 40 percent from
the field and played sloppy
defense
The second half was a com
plete reversal of the opening
period. Alabama came out red
hot and scored six unanswered
Ruggers
squeak out
victory
Georgia's men ruggers
squeaked out a 4-3 victory over
an improved Fori Bcr.ning
team last Saturday in Colum
bus.
Last year Georgia easily
defeated Fori Benning 20-0.
"They took a football aspect lo
the game last year, but now
they have learned the basics of
the game,” Georgia rugger
Steve Tuck said.
Georgia took a 4-0 lead as
Barry Askins. with assists
from Peter Curren and Greg
Jones, scampered 25 yards on
an inside break off a scrum for
the score.
Fort Benning's lone score cut
the deficit to one (4-3) on a
penalty kick late in the second
half.
“We still need to improve
our overall play. We had a
constant breakdown with our
backs as they mishandled
several outlet passes through
out the game," Tuck said.
The men are home Saturday
taking on the Atlanta Rene
gades for the Georgia Union
Championship. Game time is 1
pm
The women ruggers are also
home Saturday taking on
Reedy Creek. Game time has
not yet been determined.

points to take a 38-35 lead
Things didn't get any better for
the Dogs as Lavon Mercer
fouled out of the game with
13:02 remaining
At this point the Alabama
inside game went to work on
Pete Fusi and Dorsey Regi
nald King and Rickey Brown
dominated both the offensive
and defensive boards with little
problem King finished the
night as high scorer with 21
points while Brown totaled 18
Two bizarre calls, both a-
gainst the Dogs, sealed their
doom The first unusual call
was a double technical foul
levied on Georgia Coach John
Guthrie. In a new ruling this
year, each technical on a
coach is worth two foul shots
while a technical called on a
player is only one shot. Bama's
Brown went on to sink three of
the four attempts to give his
team a 54-45 lead.
Amazingly, just when it
seemed the Dogs were out of
the game, they went to work
and tied the game. 62-62, with
3:21 remaining on the clock
With the score 70-68 in the
Tide’s favor, and 1:45 to go in
the contest. Alabama's T R
Dunn hit a jumper to make the
score 72-68 The official then
called a foul against Reavis
away from the ball King went
to the foul line and hit the two
free throws and just like that
Georgia was down 72-68 in
what was really a four point
play for the Tide
The Dogs made a gallant
effort to recover but the da
mage was too much to over
come. The loss left the Bull
dogs with an 8-16 <2-12 in the
SEC). Alabama, the number
four team in the nation went to
21-3.

One oddity in the game was
IN SWIMMING MEET
that for one of the few times
this year, the Bulldogs' foul
shooting was better than their
field goal shooting. Georgia
sank 52.9 per cent from the line
and a measely 35.2 per cent
from the floor
Hopes of win
clashed by USC
The Georgia Bulldogs men's
swim team fell to the
University of South Carolina
Gamecocks, 68-15. in Georgia's
regular season finale last
Friday al Stegeman.
Georgia jumped out to quick
12-4 lead after winning the
400-yard medley relay and
Jack Burton's victory in the
1000-yard freestyle. However,
the Gamecocks soon closed
this gap and the remaining
events were close all after
noon
If swim meets involved only
swimming competition, Geor
gia would have only trailed
45-43 going into the last event,
(the 40-yard freestyle relays)
and probably would have had
cause enough to win the event
and the seven team points.
But, unfortunately for the
Dogs, swim meets involve both
swimming and diving competi
tion. And with the diving
scores included, the meet was
already decided before the
visiting swimmers just touched
out Georgia's relay team for
Iheir final team points.
USC divers took first and
second iri both the one meter
and three meter diving events.
Georgia's third place in both
events was good for only two
team points compared to the 16
points earned by the Carolina
divers.
Caiolina beat the Dogs by a
score of 69-44 last year in
Athens. But Head Coach Pete
Scholle thought his team would
be able to avenge that loss this
year. Georgia finishes their
season with a record of 5-4 and
will host the Southeastern
Conference championships
March 3-5.
Gymnasts keep
winning meets
each.
"We were cold only two
minutes in the ball game
against East Carolina," Coach
Elsa Heimerer said. "That's
the best shooting we’ve done all
year.''
Anderson's fast press and
consistant shooting by center
Katrina Anderson proved to be
more than the Bulldogs could
handle "We couldn’t keep up
with the press,” Heimerer
said. "And their center really
intimidated us. She couldn’t
miss anywhere she shot from
five to seven feet of the
basket ”
Price led the scoring again
with 29 points Stone, Park and
RidUMII shot for 10 each.
High rebounder was Price
with 15.

Closing out its season at
home, the highly successful
women’s gymnastics team
beat East Tennessee by a
score of 114 to 93.
The gymnasts swept two
events out of four and took
first in the other two events to
rout East Tennessee. Georgia
swept the vaulting event with
Judi Jones taking first with a
score of 7.9. Jones was closely
followed by teammates Mark
Kreamer with 7.4 and Susan
Froelich with 7.3.
On the balance beam Geor
gia again captured first,
second and third. Lane Taylor
working with an injury incur
red during vaulting took first
with a 7.25 Carol Muckenfuss
and Susan Froelich took
second and third respectively.
Maggie McQuin. performing
for Georgia on the uneven
parallel bars, won the event
with a score of 7.05. In the
floor exercises Jones again
won first place followed by
Froelich in second place.
The women’s team under the
guidance of their new coach.
Andy Long, has so far
compiled a 6-2 record for the
season Their record of 6-2
makes this year's team the
most successful team in
women's gymnastics at Geor
gia. In addition, women’s
gymnastics are the winningest
women’s sport at Georgia this
year.
Long, in reflecting on the
season, commented, “I'm very
pleased with the girls’ perfor
mance this year. I really didn’t
know what to expect from the
girls when I came in new this
year. But they have exerted a
tremendous effort and have
performed well.”
The team faces University of
North Carolina in Chapel Hill
next week end in their last
regular meet of the season,
i v lost to Florida, ono of the
teams to defeat Georgia, by
only one point. The meet
should be close as Georgia lost
to Florida by three points.
With a two point margin
between her team and UNC,
Long said, "We should do
exceptionally well against
them. I fee) like the girls
perform better under pressure
to win. Against Eastern
Tennessee the pressure wasn't
there as they knew they had
won and let up on some of the
last events.”
