A super weekend in Miami
MIAMI <IP1>—Super Bowl
weekend means hassle after
hassle for residents of south
east Florida's Gold Coast, but
for $50 million and all that
good publicity, most people
figure it's worth it.
Traffic jams abound on
hotel-lined Collins Avenue in
Miami Beach, burglaries are
up and tempers among bar
tenders. bellmen and other
service personnel are frayed.
But after it's all over, every
body loves it-because it
means bucks and lots of them.
Estimates on how much money
is pumped into the area's
economy range from $50-70
million
"It really is the biggest
single event a city can have.”
says Lester Freeman of the
Greater Miami Chamber of
Commerce.
"It s greater than a political
convention because of the level
of expenditure
"Let’s face it—Super Bowl
visitors are the highest rollers
of all." -
The game between the
Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh
Steelers has brought at least
60,000 free-spending football
fans with tickets to town, and
many more people without
tickets
Although it was still possible
to find a room at some smaller
Motels, the city is chockablock
with tourists, many of them
paying more than $100 a night
for a room. Hotels were
demanding at least a three-day
stay
Rental cars are nowhere to
be found and the phones at
escort services such as Rent-a-
Bird ring day and night
There were so many private
planes arriving at the airport,
officials had to start double
parking them
The amount of money the
visitors were willing to spend
was sometimes staggering

Anytime a basketball team
shoots less than 30 percent
from the field. usually
forget abo** (achieving a
victory
Georgia's Lady Bulldogs did
exactly that Wednesday night
at the Coliseum against
Erskine College and were
blown out. 76-53. The Bulldogs
shot an unbelievable 28 percent
from the field including a
disastrous 6 of 41 second half.
Head coach Carolyn Lehr,
who was back on the Georgia
bench after a two-game
absence, admitted there was
still some tension between her
and the players concerning the
recent problems of the team
"It’s going to take some time
to resolve the problems, but I
think everyone is working on
it." Lehr said "Tonight, we
were sluggish We played like
a team that's been playing
hard the last two or three
days."
Erskine didn’t shoot a whole
lot better field goal-wise but
what it did was sink 24 free
throws to the Lady Bulldogs'
seven
Two baskets by DiAnne
Stone and one by Becky Nash
gave Georgia a «-0 lead, but
Erskine fought back and took a
14-12 advantage at the 13:10
mark of the first half.
The visitors never trailed
again after that
In the first half alone. 10
Erskine players scored. Geor
gia, which trailed 43-34 at
intermission, was led by
Stone’s 10 points and Nancy
Russom's nine.
The home team never could
get it going in the second half,
especially on offense On three
ditferent occasions, there were
four-minute intervals between
Bulldog baskets
"Our players waited until a
shot was missed before they
went in for the rebound." Lehr
explained.
Erskine's Gale Mize was the
game's leading scorer as she
hit for 21 points including nine
of U) from the line Russom
paced Georgia with 14.
When asked if she thought a
win might solve some of the
team's troubles on the court
and off. Lehr replied, "Are you
kidding?”

Thrills, chills, but hopefully
no spills will be the ord< of
the evening when the men’s
gymnastics team opens its
dual-meet season against per
ennially tough and arch-rival
Georgia Tech in the Coliseum
tonight at 7 p.m.

Bulldogs for the second
straight time. The Yellow

History does hold an edge for

The Bulldogs will be led by
former state all-around cham
pions ,‘rom the Atlanta area
and two exciting performers
from Miami.
Mike Stabler and Steve Holt
both are regarded as good,
steady all-around performers.
Of the two Miamians, Pepe
Peruytro, according to Lyons,
is considered "the most stylish
performer and the sparkplug
of the team " Paul Odze is a
"very explosive tumbler." said
Lyons.
The team should he full of
surprises as it was last year
when most teams lightly
regarded the supposedly ie-
building Bulldogs But the
daring and often considered
cocky Georgia team, consisting
mostly of freshman talent, had
enough strength to mount a
record of 11*4.
But as Lyons explained, the
team's cockiness does not
translate into overconfidence
"The enthusiasm and the
team unity make us appear
cocky But the guys just like
what ihey’re doing and they
want the fans to enjoy what
they’re watching.”
If excitement lends itself to
interest, everyone should be
watching the horizontal bars
for the double-somersault dis
mount from Ken Gonzalez.
Peruyeio should also be
ranked highly in the event for
his fantastic style.
In the vaulting event. Bruce
I^ewis. the third in a line of
great Georgia gymnasts, be
hind brothers Craig and Gary,
is a potential NCAA vaulting
champion according to Lyons.
Odze closely follows Lewis in
the event
Peruyero and L-wis are the
team leaders in the floor
exercises Both have extreme
ly strong Myles that lend to
explosiveness in the event.
"David Hirschencor- has an
impeccable technique with
exciting moves that make him
our top performer on the
parallel bars, said Lyons. He is
accompanied in the event by
Bob Singer and Stabler
The team’s captain. Jim
Beggs. is a strong performer
on the rings and pommel
horse odze and Stabler also
excel on the rings as does Bill
Siater.
Lyons feels the team should
finish with just one loss at the
most, giving the team a highly
exciting season Their biggest
competition in the Southeast
should come from LSU and
Georgia Tech.
"If we can pull our talent
together, we could have an
even mort surprising season,"
claimed Lyons “I can’t see
any other teams in the
Southeast that could give us
any trouble."
