ATLANTA—For most of the
(Georgia-Georgia Tech varsity
football game Saturday, the
temperature hovered around
the 37 degree mark
Hut as for the Georgia
offense, it looked like it was at
the North Pole
If in previous games it
looked like the Dogs offense
uas dead, then for the Tech
game you could say that rigor
mortis had set in When the
game was mercifully over, the
D O.A signs on both the east
and west end of Grant Field
read 16-7. Tech
The Dogs offense could only
gain 169 yards on the Jackets
and in fact the Dogs biggest
gamer of the afternoon was a
44 yard pass interference
penalty against Tech in the
third quarter.
Throughout the first quarter
the Dogs offense was so
impotent that it appeared that
the Georgia Redcoat Marching
Band was going to cross
midfield before the offense did.
Hut then on the last play of
that first quarter, the Dogs

half Thinking this might be
their only chance to score, the
Dogs sent in Rex Robinson to
try a 58 yard field goal
attempt He missed and that it
was it for the Dogs in the first
half
It was a different story for
Tech; they scored all their
points in the first half Proving
that the Dog defense was no
riddle to them, they scored on
their first possession, as
Johnny Smith kicked a 25 yard
field goal
Tech’s first touchdown came
in the second frame as
quarterback Gary Hardie went
over from the one Georgia's
Johnny Henderson blocked
Smith's extra point attempt
and Tech led 9-0
Near the end of the first half.
Hardie guided the Jackets on a
beautiful 80 yard march,
culminating with Eddie Lee
Ivery’s 13 yard TD run Smith
was good this time and Tech
had all the points it would
need. 16.
Although the Dogs' offense
was held at bay in the first
half, starting quarterback Ran
dy Cook had found some holes
in the line and it looked like
the Dogs might come back in
the seond half.
Then midway through the
third quarter, Cook, the Dogs'
string signal caller, was
injured and forced to leave the
field In came Chris Welton.
fifth string varsity quarter-
hack, first string freshman
quarterback
One play later it was Welton
who had to leave the field with
a fractured fibula in his leg
Enter Davey Sawyer, sixth
string varsity quarterback and
second string freshman quar
terback. To show how desper
ate the Georgia quarterback
ing situation was. Sawyer had
played in the Georgia-Tech
freshman game Thursday and
thrown a touchdown pass.
As soon as Sawyer entered
the game, freshman safety
Scott Woerner. a high school
quarterback, started taking
snaps from center on the
sidelines.
And quickly.
As it turned out. Woerner
wasn't needed because Sawyer
didn't get injured. Sawyer,
though slow afoot, did a good
job on such short notice. In
fact, he led the Dogs to their
only score when James Wo
mack went over from the one
yard line with 7:45 to go in the
game.
That touchdown was set up
by the Dog defense Corner-
hack Bobby Thompson had
blocked a Ted Peeples punt
and teammate Ricky McBride
had recovered it on the Tech
17
The Dog defense had set up
another possible score in the
third quarter when rover Bill
Krug (who had 14 tackles)
blocked a Peeples punt and
returned it 10 yards to the
Tech 19 But the Dogs were
unable to move it and Rex
Robinson missed a 19 yard
field goal attempt.
Going into the Tech game,
the Dogs’ offense had fumbled
the ball a record 56 times. So
in order to try to stop that
chronic malady. Georgia
Coach Vince Dooley switched
the offense from the Veer to
the Winged T for the Tech
game.
“We used the Winged T and
some of the variations off of
that offense,’’ Dooley said in a
quiet Bulldog locker room
after the game "We put that
in during the off week because
we tried to be more conserva
tive because we have had a lot
of turnovers this season with
the Veer ”
Dooley s plan worked half
way there were only three
fumbles lost, but because of
the newness of the offense, the
Dogs were constantly disorgan
ized As a result, busted plays
were about as common as cups
of coffee in the stands.
On the other side of the field
before the game Tech Coach
Pepper Rodgers wasn't happy
with the way his Wishbone
offense had performed this
year In fact, he said he might
change it next year
After Saturday’s perfor
mance, don’t count on it.
Rodgers’ Wishbone netted 319
yards on the ground and zero
through the air. The Jackets
did try one pass, though.
That’s amazing in itself as
usually the only times the
Jackets put the ball in the air
is on the snap fiom center.
After the game, both coaches
agreed that it was Tech’s
domination of the first half
that won the game for them.
"We got ahead and hung on,”
Rodgers said. "We played
about as fine a first half as any
since I’ve been here Then in
the second half, Georgia
played an outstanding game ”
So the Dogs finish their
season with a 5-6 record, the
first losing campaign Dooley
has ever had at Georgia in his
14 years
By the end of the game, the
temperature was 39 degrees,
up two degrees from game
time.
But for Georgia players and
fans it seemed much colder

win 20-12

ATLANTA—Georgia’s Bull-
pups opened a 20 point
halftime lead against the
Georgia Tech Babyjackets and
held off a fourth quarter Tech
rally to win 20-12 in the annual
Thanksgiving day freshman
game
The game benefitted the
Scottish Rite hospital for
crippled children, but in the
first half the Bullpup defense
was anything but charitable
The defense, led by Keith
Bouchillon and Ralph War-
then. held the Babyjackets to
just 68 yards on the ground and
minus three yards in the air.
Meanwhile, the Georgia of
fense rolled up 20 points
The scoring started on
Georgia's first offensive play
when tailback Johnny McMic-
kins bounced outside for an
electrifying 72 yard touchdown
run.
The Bullpups next possession
also went for a score. The
offense moved 57 yards in 10
plays before the drive stalled
on the Tech 10 The drive was
highlighted by a 39 yard run by
fullback Daniel Robinson and
was capped by a 20 yard field
goal by placekicker Corley
