Women netters lose, 5-2
By DON WHITE
The women’s tennis team
went Tiger hunting yesterday
without taking a lot of
ammunition.
The Auburn Tigers turned
Georgia's dreams of an upset
into a convincing 5-2 victory on
a rain-soaked afternoon.
Playing without their usual
No. 3 player. Auburn still
managed to pull off a 4-2 lead
in singles play Senior Lu
Fendig. in her final appear
ance at home, was upended
6-2. 6-4 by Kim Schmidt It was
the rubber match between
Fendig and Schmidt, and the
first time either player had
beaten the other in straight
sets.
"Lu had a bad day,” Coach
Greg McGarity said. “She’s a
streak player. When she gets
hot nobody can beat her. but
when she's off like today, she
has trouble.”
Nevertheless, seniors Tina
Price and Debi Snelling
finished in high style. Price
blasted Carrie Balcomb 6-2,
6-4. and Snelling crushed Terri
Russell 6-2, 6-4 in one of the
shortest matches of the day.
“It’s good to see Debi and
Tina finish up that way at
home,” McGarity said. "Debi
played almost error free. She
was playing against last year's
state high school champ, and
just overwhelmed her."
"Tina Price has been so
consistent for us,” McGarity
gleamed. "Every time she
goes out on the court you just
know she’ll come through."
Besides Price and Snelling,
Georgia had few bright spots
during the cold, gloomy day.
Carole Sims was smashed 6-1,
6-1 by Auburn’s Becky Suther
land. Janet McClellan lost 4-6,
6 3, 3-6 to feisty Mitzi Minor.
Ginna Gilbert needed only one
more point to beat Laura
Branyon, but lost a heart
stopper 5-7, 6-7, and 5-4 in the
tiebreaker.
"We could have beaten
them,” McGarity said "But
we needed to have everybody
play their best, and that didn't
happen We have to have all
cylinders firing to beat Au
burn.”
The rain-shortened match
halted doubles play early, but
Auburn had alr< dy clinched
the victory when Schmidt-Su-
therland whipped a makeshift
team of Nancy Gates and
Barbara McKinley 6-0, 6 4.
Gates and McKinley were
forced to play together after
Ginna Gilbert injured her back
in singles
"It was a wierd day,”
McGarity said ‘‘It's hard to
come back and nlav °t'- r ®
long delay. But, I'm not
making excuses. Auburn has a
fine team, and they just beat
us soundly."
Georgia, now 8-11, has a
match at Georgia State on
Friday before the region
tournament in Mississippi on
May 11-14.
"We should win at Georgia
State and I think we can do
well in the region tourna

error by the Eagle third sacker.
Pager went to second on a fielders choice by Don Keener as
Sorrells was forced at second Southern pitcher Gary Givens
then slipped on the wet mound attempting a pitch to let Pager
score on a balk. Givens then retired the next two Georgia to
end the inning.
The Eagles struck first in the opening frame with two runs
on one hit, one walk, and three Bulldog errors
Southern added two runs on two hits and a wild pitch in the
seventh, and two more in the ninth on three hits and Georgia's
eighth and final error of the day.
Givens went the route for the Eagles to pick up his tenth win
of the season against one loss.
Greg Morris pitched the last five innings for the Dogs. He
allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out three
Rabun was the loser for Georgia His season mark dropped
fo 2-2 with the defeat
Georgia coach Roy Umstaltd said that the contest with
Southern was just one of those days when nothing seems to go
right
“We were having to save our top pitchers for Florida this
weekend," he said. "You could tell the guys were thinking
about Saturday and Sunday and not today
“But that's not to take anything away from Southern. They
have a great team and Givens is one of the best pitchers
we’ve faced all year.
"The weather was bad, but they had to play in it too."
Umstattd added.
Georgia hosts Florida this weekend in a three-game series
that will determine whether or not the Dogs make it to the
SEC playoffs for the first time since 1975.

Today's game: Georgia at Georgia Tech beginning at 3 p.m.
Georgia Southern shelled Bulldog pitchers for 14 hits
Wednesday at Foley Field to down Georgia 13-2.
The Dogs also committed eight errors to make things easier
for fhe Eagles.
Georgia's season record dropped to 28-15 with the loss. The
Dogs have now lost five of their last six games. Southern is
now 30-12 on the year
The Eagles struck for seven runs in the top of the fourth
inning to put the game out of Georgia’s reach.
Southern loaded the bases against Dog starter Ken Rabun
after one out with a single, a double, and a walk Back to back
two-run doubles by Steve Rum and Tom Kuzniacki, and a
walk to Chip Gray chased Rabun and Gene Richie came on to
pitch for Georgia
Richie struck out the first batter he faced but then gave up
an one-run single to Jimmy Matthews. Matthews stole second
and went to third while Gray scored on a bad throw to second
by Dog catcher Lonnie Morris.
Richie then gave up an infield single to Terry Mixon that
allowed Matthews to score before getting Carmelo Aguayo to
ground out to third to end the inning
Georgia tallied once in the sixth and once in the seventh for
its only runs of the day
With two outs in the sixth Joe Stewart singled. He then went
to third on a single by David Lanning and scored when
Lanning was caught in a run down between first and second.
Lanning made it safely to second when the second baseman
dropped the ball
Brad Pager led off the seventh for the Dogs with a single

Is Eugene scene
for awaited title?
When someone menlions a national championship here at
good old UGA. the football team is the first picture that
pops into one's mind After all. the only national
championship Georgia has ever won was in 1942. during
Flatfoot Frankie Stnkwich's heyday It has taken a long
time for another sport to seriously challenge for all the
marbles, bul it has arrived Folks, we do have one helluva
golf team
Actually. Georgia s golfers made a serious challenge for
the championship last June, finishing third in the NCAA
tourney behind Houston and Oklahoma State The Dogs
also captured the SEC title again for the 16th time Not bad
for an athletic program that has been dominated by
football in the past
One look at the pro tour will give an indication on how
prosperous the Bulldog program has become
Bill Kratzert left Georgia in 1974. becoming a two-time
All American during his tenure here Kratzert finished in
Steve Burgess
Assistant sports editor
the lop ten money winners last year and is headed for
another fine season In the list of finishers on a Monday
mornings sports page. Kratzert s name can usually be
lound in the top 15. with a sizeable sum for the weekend's
work alongside
Terry Diehl and Lynn Lott have also made their mark on
the tour Diehl made a charge in the 1977 L’.S Open before
falling to Hubert Green in the final round Lott has
captured the Atlanta Classic in his short stint as a
professional.
As a team. Coach Dick Copas feels that this year's
edition is as talented as any team he has coached Led by
Chip Beck, who will probably become only the second
Bulldog to capture All-American honors for the third time.
Georgia is probably better than Copas is willing to admit.
The key tournament of the season for the Dogs was this
past weekend’s SIC. Georgia whipped top-ranked
Oklahoma State by 12 strokes, after losing to the Cowboys
in an earlier tournament in Houston Big wins build
confidence, and confidence is an important ingredient in
any type of play. Now that the team knows that OSU can
t>e had the upcoming trip to Eugene, Ore. in June for this
years championships should find the best prepared
Georgia team in Bulldog history.
Grill Moody has certainly made a tremendous
contribution Moody sat out last season after transferring
Irom Wake Forest and his return has plugged a hole made
when Jim Becker graduated at the end of last season.
Moody has won two tournaments and finished second to
Beck in the SIC.
Copas pointed out earlier in the season that what made
Georgia so solid was the possibility that any player on the
squad could win any tourney in which the Bulldogs were
entered Beck. Moody, and Gus Holbrook have all won this
spring
Unfortunately, there is only one damp drop on a season
that has been high and dry. in this writer’s view anyway.
Last week. Beck and Moody commented to a reporter
from a major Atlanta newspaper to the effect that campus
coverage of Georgia golf has not been adequate. I feel that
The Red and Black has covered the team rather well, even
in light of the fact that only one home match is played
during the season Articles relating m the Georgia golfers
have appeared in more than 10 issues of this newspaper
since the season began. Enough said.
This year’s team has proved that they arc among the
finesi in the collegiate ranks Let’s hope that they can keep
it going and win another SEC title and bring the big trophy
home from Eugene
Good luck, guys
