Woerner anchors Georgia defense
By NICK DELUCCO
Georgia's big question mark
in the 1978 football season was
supposed to have been its
inexperienced defense, parti
cularly its secondary, which
returned only one starter.
Instead, the defense, espec
ially the secondary, has been a
pleasant surprise to the
Bulldogs, and the main reason
has been the play of sopho
more cornerback Scott
Woerner.
The 6-0, 186 pounder has
come up with IS unassisted
tackles and a big interception
against Clemson that many
consider was the turning point
in Georgia's 12-0 victory. His
performance against the
favored Tigers, by the way,
earned him the Southeastern
Back-of-the-Week award from
United Press International.
"I really didn't know what to
expect at the beginning of this
season," Woerner said, “but I
knew we were young and
needed to work hard But we
always believed that we could
do the job."
The “Wonderdogs" suffered
a letdown last Saturday night
in Columbia, S.C., when they
lost a 27-10 decision to South
Carolina's Gamecocks, and
Woerner believes over-confi
dence on the part of the
defense had something to do
with it.
"We didn’t work as hard as
we should have for South
Carolina and when they
brought the game to us, we
didn’t take it to them,” he said
while relaxing to a Willie
Nelson tune with his room
mate, former quarterback now
rover Chris Welton.
Woerner also felt Georgia
was waiting for a big play
against the Gamecocks but
said, "You don’t wait for big
plays but go out and make
them," which the Dogs did not
do.
"It was just one cf those
things you could feel, being
down,” he added "We fought
for awhile but Carolina just
kept coming at us and we
could not stop them."
Woerner hails from Jones
boro High in Jonesboro where
he played for legendary head
coach Weyman Sellers. While
in high school, Woerner was a
three-year letterman as a
quarterback and defensive
back. He also was picked as a
JOURNAL- -CONSTITUTION
All-State defensive back.
Georgia considered him its top
college prospect in 1976.
As a freshman, Woerner was
used mainly as a kick returner
where he returned 22 kickoffs
for 546 yards which was 14th
best in the nation. His 546
yards places him fourth on the
all-time Georgia return list.
Woerner and the Bulldogs
face a tough 2-1 Ole Miss Rebel
team Saturday in Sanford
Stadium.
“Ole Miss has a good passing
quarterback in Roy Coleman
that also runs the option well,"
said Woerner as he watched
last week's Ole Miss game film
from his room in McWhorter
Hall. "We’ve worked excep
tionally hard this week and if
we play as a team and get
after them before they do us,
we will do okay."
Woerner displays the posi
tive attitude that is necessary
for the Dog's secondary to
have in order to shut down the
upcoming SEC foes. He doesn’t
feel he is a star but when
talking to him, one gets the
feeling he is a team leader.

Dog netters meet top competition
in Southwestern La. tournament
By FRANK MALLOY
The University of Georgia tennis team begins Its fall
tournament schedule this weekend when they travel to Lafayette,
La. to participate in the Second Annual Southwestern Louisiana
Classic.
Eight teams are entered in the four-day event including
perennial powerhouse Trinity as well as the SMU Mustangs, who
captured third place in the NCAA Championships held at the
University last May.
The Bulldogs will be represented by senior Captain Wes Cash
and sophomores Bill Rogers, Brent Crymes and Paul Groth.
Rogers and Crymes won the SEC Championships at the Nos. 3
and 6 singles positions, respectively.
Groth will be competing in his first match for Georgia after
sitting out last year because he transferred from Georgia
Southern.
"We’re sending our four most experienced players," said
tennis coach Dan Magill. “Our boys have played very well in the
challenge matches this fall."
The Dog netters will have to be on the top of their games if
they hope to make a respectable showing, due to the presence of
some of the finest collegiate players in the country.
Trinity ’s Larry Gottfried will be returning to defend his singles
title with teammate Ben McKown who lost to Gottfried in last
years finals. SMU will be represented by No. 1 singles star Jai
DiLouie while Texas returns one-half of the defending doubles
champions in left-hander Gary Plock.
Gottfried and Tony Giammalva appear to be the ones to beat in
the doubles competition while Magill will pair up last year’s
undefeated duo of Cash and Rogers in an attempt to defeat the
talented Trinity twosome. Crymes and Groth will team up as the
Dogs’ other doubles entry.
The eight teams entered in the tournament are Georgia,
Trinity, Texas, SMU, LSU, Oklahoma State, Michigan and the
host team Southwestern Louisiana.
Magill also mentioned that the two newest additions to the
Georgia tennis team, Australians Peter Lloyd and Stephen
Maloney "have done very well in the intra-squad challenge
matches so far." Lloyd has defeated both Crymes and Groth
while Maloney has alsr beaten Crymes.
The two will hopefrily see action next week in the 11th Annual
Southern Collegiate championships which will be held at Henry
Feild Stadium on the University campus.
The tournament, the most important fall tennis event in the
south, begins next Thursday and will run through Sunday with 64
players competing in the singles competition and 32 teams
entered in the doubles action.
