Georgia tries to reboundfrom Techster loss

The I6th-ranked Lady
Dogs, 11-5, became another
one of the countless starry-
eyed pretenders to be swept
down the relentless
Louisiana Tech assembly
line Wednesday night The
Lady Techsters don't merely
defeat opponents, they
surgically destroy them.
Cut, stitch, wash up The
procedure is a simple one for
Tech, a painful one for their
opponents
The Lady Dogs can't take
time to lick their wounds,
however. To paraphrase a
cliche, there's no rest for the
bleary. Georgia faces yet
another nationally-ranked
team Saturday in the
Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. when
the 12th-ranked South
Carolina Lady Gamecocks
come to town.
Lady Bulldog Coach Andy
Landers was disturbed by
his team's languid per
formance, but he realizes the
team is still young. "I don't
feel our players responded
well to what happened on the
floor. But you have to hang
with any team that starts
two freshmen, two
sophomores and a junior,"
he said.
Saturday's game with
South Carolina is a rather
nebulous subject, when one
considers the turmoil
surrounding the Lady
Gamecocks. Earlier this
season Head Coach Pam
Parsons either was
dismissed or resigned.
University officials claimed
Parsons had resigned for
health reasons, a charge she
later denied, eventually
saying that she left due to
philosophical differences.
Parsons, known as a hard-
driving martinet, had 17
players either quit or be
dismissed during her four-
year reign.
Even with Parsons'
departure, the parade to the
exits has continued. Five
players (two of them star
ters) have quit the team
within the last month, in
cluding first-team Parade
All-America, 6-foot-3 Medina
Dixon, the team's leading
scorer and rebounder “I
likened Janet Harris to a
Larry Bird and Medina
Dixon to a Dr. J," Landers
said
Well, Dixon will be
operating elsewhere in the
years to come, as will 6-foot-
6 freshman center Philicia
Allen, 6-foot-3 freshman
Mona Nance, sophomore
Pam Reeves and freshman
Tina Buck.
The aftermath of the
Parsons’ situation gets more
involved every day. In a
copywritten story by The
Greenville News, Parsons
denied disclosures from
unidentified university
sources that she resigned
when confronted by charges
involving a lesbian situation
with one player and making
sexual advances toward
another. The Lady
Gamecocks have had to play
with their internal problems
splashed across the
newspapers, and have still
managed to post an im
pressive 12-5 record.
South Carolina and new
Coach Terry Kelly are still
loaded with talent, although
they are down to only seven
players. “I'm not really
going to cry and weep about
South Carolina's situation,
because they have about as
much talent le/t, as anybody
in the country besides
Louisiana Tech I really feel
badly for them," Landers
said
South Carolina is led by 6-
foot-1 senior All-America
center, Sheila Foster, who
was selected to play in the
World University Games.
Foster leads the team in both
scoring and rebounding,
averaging 16.6 points and 9.1
rebounds. Parade All-
America freshman leaper
Brantley Southers, who
stayed at home in Columbia,
S.C. (Dreher High), starts at
one forward and is
Ga. vs S. Carolina
7:30 p.m.
The Coliseum
averaging 5.6 points and 2.2
rebounds. Becky Parker, a 5-
foot-10 junior, plays the
other forward and is scoring
4.6 points and pulling down
2.3 rebounds. Both women
have recently been pressed
into starting roles and their
statistics reflect that lack of
playing time.
The Lady Gamecocks
were not hurt by any
backcourt defection, so their
guards continue to be strong.
Evelyn "Sweet E" Johnson,
Magic's little sister, starts at
one guard. The 5-foot-10
junior is averaging 11.9
points and 3.9 rebounds a
game and has dished out 35
assists. Johnson may he one
of the most dangerous of
tensive players in the
country.
Time at the point guard is
split by 5-foot-7 junior
Sharon Rivers, who leads the
team in assists with 91, and
another hometown Parade
All-America, 5-foot-10 Marsi
McAlister.
The game will be broad

ATLANTA (UPI) - Sports
entrepreneur Ted Turner
says his $17.5 million con
tract to televise 38 college
football games over the next
two seasons is a milestone
for cable television.
The Turner Broadcasting
System and the National
Collegiate Athletic
Association announced
Wednesday a 2-year
agreement that clears the
way for the first live college
football televised by a
predominantly cable
television network
Turner, owner of super
station WTBS that now
broadcasts Atlanta Braves
and Atlanta Hawks games to
an estimated 20 million cable
viewers, hailed the deal as
"a great milestone for cable
television These additional
38 football telecasts will aid
greatly in the continued
growth of the cable industry
and Turner Broadcasting.
Bob Wussler, executive
vice president of TBS and
president of WTBS, who
helped negotiate the
agreements, said the station
will televise 19 games a year
over the two-year period —
14 on Saturday nights,
possibly one on Labor Day
and four on Thursdays,
including one on
Thanksgiving.
The specific games have-
not been decided yet, nor
have the broadcasters been
delermined. At least four, of
the games will involve teams
from Division 1-AA
