T albot N unnally III Georgia golf teams record victories in SIC tournaments By NORM REILLY Sports editor Trailing Oklahoma State by four strokes after 45 holes of play, the Georgia Bulldogs' men s golf team rallied on the back nine at the Athens Country Club Saturday to take its fourth consecutive Southern Intercollegiate Tournament, edging the defending NCAA champion Cowboys by two shots. Junior Griff Moody, who finished second in the individual 1 standings, clinched the victory for his team when he sank a 15 putt on the 18th green The Bulldogs finished with a three-round total of 874 while Oklahoma State had 876 Oral Roberts was third at 880 followed by Houston at 896. Wichita State 897, and TCU at 899. Georgia coach Dick Copas admitted he was worried at the halfway point of the final round “At the turn. I knew we were in trouble but we put a little pressure on them on the back nine.” Copas said. We felt like we needed to win this tournament to get ready for the SEC because when it's all said and done, it you don’t win the SEC, you ain't won nothing,” he added Bob Tway, a sophomore native of Marietta. Ga.. won the individual title for Oklahoma State with a 211 total, defeating Moody by one stroke ”1 played pretty well today but I was kind of disappointed we didn't win the team title,” Tway said after his final round 71. “We didn’t play quite good enough, though.” Moody, playing before his hometown friends, didn't seem too upset about not winning the individual title, but instead was overjoyed that the Bulldogs won their first tournament of the year. "We’ve been working all year for a win,” he said. “We hung in there and finally got it.” Moody said that the feeling he got after sinking the long putt on the final hole was the best he had experienced all season. Madden Hatcher was another Georgia player to perform well in the tournament. Hatcher had a three-round total of 219. Joe Holbrook slipped some on Saturday but still completed the tourney with a 220. Senior Joe Walter played consistent golf, except for the second round when he skied to an 80 Walter finished the SIC with a 223. Stuart Rumph was at 234 for Georgia. Jim Kane of Oral Roberts, who set a course record with his 66 last Thursday, faltered the final two days and finished eight strokes behind Tway with a 219. Georgia will be in action May 10-12 for the SEC Championships in Birmingham and more than likely will be one of the favorites to take home the team title. As Moody says, "we know we can win now We proved we can beat the number one team in the country (Oklahoma State).” By ANDY COOK Assistant sports editor Terri Moody sank a three-foot putt on the final hole of the Women’s Southern Intercollegiate Championship to salvage a one-shot victory for Georgia's women's golf team Sunday With the Bulldogs holding a one-shot lead over the University of Tulsa. Moody placed a chip shot within three feet of the eighteenth pin and dropped the resulting putt to secure Georgia's win. Georgia entered Sunday's final round wth a commanding 11-stroke lead over the 25-team field, but the wide margin slowly disappeared as Tulsa charged into contention wtih a WSIC record-setting 304 team score. Georgia's final 948 score held off Tulsa's challenging 949 team mark Moody’s three day 232 total was good enough for third place in the individual standings behind Furman's Sherri Turner, who had a 225 total, and Tulsa's Carolyn Hill, who finished with a 230 score. Carol Donald finished fourth with a 233 total for Georgia. “This was the best field assembled in women s golf outside of the national championship,” said women's coach Liz Murphey, "and for it to go down to the final putt of the whole tournament was really nerve-racking to say the least." "This was definitely our biggest win of the season." Murphey said. "Tulsa had played super golf and there was a lot of pressure on Terri Moody, but we can always count on Terri " Junior Carol Donald posted her lowest competitive round ever in the tournament with a 82-74-77; 233 mark to hold the Bulldogs together. “We count too much on Terri and Mitzi Edge." Murphey said, "but Carol gave us the strength and depth to pull us through.” Mitzi Edge found her problems on her home course, as she followed her opening rounds of 76 and 81 with a soaring 86 Sunday for a 243 total. Edge's 86 did not count in the final round of play. l/)ri Clark rounded out Georgia’s team score with a 242 total. Debbie Wooley carded a 250 score, and Sandy Lumpkin added a 261 mark in the Bulldogs' victory. Georgia doesn’t see action again until mid-June when they compete in the National Championships, and Murphey is optimistic about her team’s potential. "I feel pretty good about our chances in the national tournament, and the girls feel super.” she stated. “There were only about five major teams in the country that missed this tournament, so we're going in on a cloud.” Following Georgia and Tulsa in the WSIC tournament was 1978 national champion University of Miami (965), San Jose State University <968>, and the University of North Carolina <978). Auburn University and the University of Florida tied for sixth. Baseballers sweep Vols; eye playoffs By ED LEGGE The Georgia baseballers swept a three-gaine series with Tennessee last weekend and improved their SEC record to 10-9, which virtually tied the Dogs with the Kentucky Wildcats and put them back in contention for the SEC play offs. In the first game of the series, pitcher Greg Morris struck out ten batters to pace the Dogs to an 8-4 win In probably his best performance of the year, Morris retired the last batter in each of the game s seven innings. A six-run third inning, which included a two-run double by Gil Mende and a three-run homer by Buck Belue. also highlighted the first game Belue's homer, his twelfth of the year, tied the school record for most home runs in a season. Bubba Chrismer became the unlikely hero of the second game as his home run late in the game gave Georgia a 3-2 victory Chrismer’s homer came in the ninth inning after 2-2 tie had forced the game into extra innings. Joe Stewart's two-run double in the fourth inning put the Dogs ahead 2-1 only to have Tennessee tie the game 2-2 in the bottom half of the fifth. The game remained tied until Chrismer’s heroics put the Dogs ahead for good Mark Harris, who entered the game in the fifth inning in relief of Peyton Mosher, gave up only four hits in five innings foi the Dogs in the second game Chrismer's bat was again blazing in the third game of the series on Saturday. He connected for two homers for a total of four runs in the sixth and eighth innings, which allowed the Dogs to tie the Vols at game's end and win the game in the tenth inning.

While luxury apartments— at the going rate— arc decidedly a luxury, they really offer very little of it. For instance, there’s no maid service. Xo meals come widi the room. Therc’s no shuttle service to pick you up al the d<xir and whisk you to class. You have to supply your own furniture and your own TV And perhups worst of all, you have to pay for your utilities on top of the high rent. Of course it would lie silly to expect any place to do all that for you. Except that Oglethorpe house does do all that.
