Dogs sing same losing song
By JACKIE CROSBY
H,-Z t n,1 Hiafk Sport* Kdllor
There was a song a while
back that said: "The second
time around is nothing like
the first time. ’' And so it was
for the Georgia Bulldogs
Saturday.
The team lost its fifth
straight Southeastern
Conference game to Ken
tucky 82-73 in a regionally
televised game The first
meeting between the two left
Georgia in the dog house
with a 68-66 loss at home
And Saturday's Wildcat rout
was nothing like the first
time.
Back on Jan 2. Georgia
led by as much as seven
points before Kentucky
center Melvin Turpin tipped
in the game-winning shot
with barely a second left
This time, in Rupp Arena
at Lexington, Ky., Georgia
never led. They did,
however, cut the Wildcat’s
lead several times in a losing
effort Kentucky broke out
early as Georgia came out
with a slow-down game,
hoping to stop an early run.
Mississippi State used the
same tactics last week when
it upset Kentucky 56-51 at
home
"Our game plan was to
spread the floor early,"
Georgia Coach Hugh
Durham said. "We knew
they would be overagressive
and we wanted to get in there
and get the easy baskets
Once they saw what we were
doing, the defense slacked
off and they went into a
zone"
The Dogs cut an early
eight point lead to two before
the Wildcats made a run late
in the first half and sported a
34-25 halftime bulge
After the break, Kentucky
again spurted to a large lead
and outscored the Dogs 10-2.
Four consecutive free
throws by Charles Hurt gave
the Wildcats their biggest
lead, 73-57, with little over
two minutes remaining But
Georgia, forever fighting
back, narrowed that margin
to seven points as Wilkins,
Eric Marbury and reserve
guard Gerald Crosby hit
outside shots and freshman
Richard Corhen scored on an
assist But Dirk Minniefield
iced the game with a one-
point free-throw shot and
Kentucky grabbed the
rebound.
The loss leaves Georgia
with a 3-7 conference record,
9-8 overall, while Kentucky
is 7-3 in the conference and
14-4.
Wilkins led the Dogs with
20 points and nine rebounds
Marbury followed with 17.
James Banks, Crosby and
Lamar Heard had eight
each.
For Kentucky, Derrick
Hord led with 21 points and
Minniefield had 20, 14 in the
second half. Jim Master,
who was nine for nine from
the foul line, finished with 19
Durham said Saturday
that the team, despite its
loss, is improved
“We're out of the race —
seven losses — we’re out,”
he said. “We’re not out of
post-season play or out of
being in the SEC tour
nament, but we’ve got to
continue getting better each
game.”
Terry Fair said the team,
though not satisfied by any
means with its play, is not
quitting or getting a bad
attitude
“We feel like it’s coming
around," he said.
"We have a good attitude
and we are going to go out
there with the same attitude
and play like we know we
can play."

The Georgia men’s tennis
team captured its third
Southeastern Conference
Indoor Team Championship
over the weekend by out
distancing second place
finisher, Auburn, by six
points
In winning the title, the
Bulldogs brought home three
individual titles and one
doubles championship
Allen Miller, a freshman
from Tucker, won the No 3
title by defeating Doug Corn
of Tennessee 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Coach Dan Magill was
impressed by Miller’s play
in the tournament
"Allen made a good
comeback to beat Corn,”
Magill said “He had a real
hard match against Kirk
Farquhar (of Ole Miss) in
the first round " Miller won
that match 7-6, 7-6 with one

Another freshman, Deane
Frey, captured the No 5
singles championship when
he beat David Wilson of
Florida 6-4,6-4
Magill said both Frey and
Miller had a slight ad
vantage in the tournament
because the courts in
Knoxville, Tenn , were fast
"Deane Frey played great,"
Magill said. "He (Frey) said
that he was used to fast
courts, so that probably
helped him. Allen is used to
faster courts, too."
Co-captain Peter Lloyd
was the high point man for
the Bulldogs as the senior
from Australia won the No. 6
singles title and then teamed
with John Mangan to win the
No. 2 doubles cham
pionships.
Lloyd defeated Hans
Carlson of Alabama 7-5, 63
in the finals. Magill was
pleased to see the senior
regain the touch that
enabled him to play in the
No. 1 spot for the Bulldogs
two seasons ago
"Peter played very well,”
Magill said "He beat
Carlson who defeated Tom
Foster (presently Georgia’s
No. 2 player) in last year's
No 5 outdoor cham
pionship "
The Bulldogs played so
well in last weekend's
tournament that going into
the final day of competition,
they only needed one point to
clinch the championship
Georgia finished with 24
points overall. Auburn was
second with 18 followed by
Tennessee 17, Alabama 15,
Vanderbilt 13, Florida 12>^,
Kentucky 9'v, Mississippi
State7andOleMiss3'2. ,
While the Bulldogs had an
outstanding weekend
overall, the tournament was
not without its disap
pointments
John Mangan, Georgia's
All-America No. 1 player,
was upset in the opening
round by Joe Leytze of
Kentucky 5-7, 64, 7-6. Both
Mangan and Magill agreed
that Leytze won because of
his lightning-fast serve on
the already fast courts.
“I played well,” Mangan
said, "but he served great "
Magill echoed that
statement saying. “John
met a left-handed server
who was just throwing
bullets at him ”
Another disappointment
for the Bulldogs came in the
No 1 doubles when Miller
and Ola Malmqvist, fresh off
of a championship at the
Prince-ITCA Indoor
Championships, lost to Dan
Cassidy and Bud Cox of
Auburn 6-1, 7-5 in the
semifinals.
Magill said he was not

overly surprised by the
defeat.
"You just can’t stay on a
high like that for too long,”
Magill said. "They (Miller
and Malmqvist) were a little
off and Auburn (Cassidy and
Cox) is a first-class team.
Allen and Ola were due to
have an off match."
Georgia's No. 2 man, Tom
Foster, lost to Cox in the
semifinals 7-5, 6-3. Cox went
on to win the No. 2 title.
George Bezeeny also lost
in the semifinals to Paul
Varga of Kentucky 3-6,7-6,6-

may have worked as a
disadvantage for Bezeeny.
He said, “fast courts bother
him.”

for California to participate

the Bulldogs defeat the
Shockers, they would
probably face the No. 1-

the opening round and the
Bruins are heavily favored.
“UCLA is a heavy favorite
going into this tournament,"
Magill said. “They had the
top two seeds in the Prince
(ITCA) Tournament, They
also have great depth.”

Honors given
to McMahon
FORT WORTH. Texas (UPI) — Jim McMahon of Brigham
Young University, who re-wrote the NCAA passing records
during his career with the Cougars, was presented Monday
night with the inaugural Davey O brien National Quarter
back Award.
In addition to receiving the honor, McMahon’s school will
receive a $10,000 scholarship from the Davey O’Brien Educa
tional and Charitable Trust.
O'Brien, who helped make the forward pass an acceptable
portion of the collegiate game, won the Heisman Trophy
while at Texas Christian University in 1936.
Four years ago members of the Fort Worth Club instituted
the Davey O’Brien award for the outstanding college player
in the Southwest. Karl Campbell of Texas. Billy Sims of
Oklahoma and Mike Singletary of Baylor (twice) won the
honor
Last spring, however, sponsors of the award decided to
change the honor and present it to the nation's leading
quarterback each year No other collegiate football award is
designed strictly for quarterbacks

Dunkin' Dogs have dropped five straight
Walker is 3rd;
Rankins qualifies
By STEVE FRANKEL
Ued and Mack Staff Writer
Herschel Walker finished with his best time ever in the 60-
yard dash, and Kathy Rankins qualified for the nationals in
the long jump, as both Georgia track teams were on the road
this past weekend.
The men competed at the Dallas Times Invitational and
faired reaosnably well, considering the quality of thie com
petition. Traditionally, the Southwest Conference is one of
the best areas in the country for track.
Walker took third place in the 60-year dash, clocking in at
his best time ever: 6 15. Previously, Walker’s best time in
the 60 was a 6.21 run at the Olympic Invitational Jan. 16.
Walker was outdistanced by Bruce Davis of Baylor, who
won the race with a 6.11. and Phillip Epps of Texas Christian,
who took second-place honors at 6.14. Rounding out the field
was Athletic West’s Jeff Phillips (6.21), and Oklahoma’s Coly
Duling (6.221.
In the two-mile relay, the Bulldogs were third-place
finishers, behind Auburn and Baylor. Georgia ranan8:08 84,
which is considerably slower than their average time,
because of an extra lap that was run due to an official's error.
Bulldog two-milers were Eddie Hodges, Brad Lewis, Jeff
Debar and Greg Roseboro
Coach Gainey was pleased with the performance of his run
ners. "We ran real well Herschel improved his time in the
60-, and our two-mile relay team was very competitive,”
Gainey said "The Southwest Conference is always real
lough "
The women were in Blacksburg, Va , for the Virginia Tech
Invitational. Veronica Walker placed third in the 60-yard
dash, as she battled an impressive field. Tanaya King,
another Georgia runner, finished in fourth on the heels of
Walker.
In the jumping events, Cindy Gilbert leaped to her best ef
fort this season in the high jump at 5-9. Rankins finished
fourth in the long jump measinring 9.95 meters, which
qualified her for nationals.
Janet Stelljes took fifth in the 1,000-meters, while Renee
Thompson ran a 42.0 in the 300-meters, good for second in her
heat, but didn't qualify here for the finals.
We lost our least!!
