Search for snapper
concludes in paper

Red and Black Sports Editor Chris Lancette and Assistant Editor
Paul Keys have been selected to coach a team In the Georgia
Basketball Midnight Madness Game to be held Oct. 15.

Last spring, during Georgia's
spring football practice, a certain
rsition had been badly depleted
•cause of injury and graduation
So badly depleted, Georgia
coaches put an aa in The Red and
Black in order to recruit players to
that position.
The position was long-snapper
on punts and placekicks, and the
PO!
bei
dogs’ incumbent at the posi
tion, Jimps Cole, had undergone
reconstructive knee surgery. Cole
had been injured for most of the
season in 1988 and was the back
up in 1987, after being moved from
defensive end There were no other
players to fill the role.
The coaches were getting itchy
about who's going to be the long-
snapper," Cole said. “They were
wondering whether I was going to
come back healthy "
So, bracing for the worst, the
coaches put an ad in the paper, di
recting all interested parties to as
sistant coach Joe Tereshinski, who
handles the walk-on program.
As a result, 10 players came be
cause of the ad. Two ended up re
maining at long-snapper, Mike
Wallace and Sean Stinson.
Wallace became the backup to
Cole, and now dresses for games
for the Bulldog varsity. Stinson
plays on junior varsity and is the
third team snapper.
Wallace transferred from
Southern Methodist, following
former roommate Shelly Anderson,
who was a starter on the offensive
line.
Tereshinski said either Wallace

ad in The Red and
Black in order to recruit
players.
or Stinson can capably fill in at
long snapper if Cole goes down.
Wike came in as a walk-on and
became the number-two snapper,”
Tereshinski said. 'We gave him a
scholarship for the summer. He de
cided to give it a try and may be the
snapper if Jimps goes down.”
Tereshinski said Wallace and
Stinson’s success is just one of
those that come out of the walk-on
program. Linebacker Matt McCor
mick, wide receiver Kevin Max
well, guard William Wynn and
comerback Eddie Andrews all
came out of the walk-on program,
which anyone with two years’ nigh
school football experience can join.
The long snapper role is very im
portant to the team, as evidenced
in the Tennessee-Auburn game
last Saturday. Auburn’s long
snapper snapped two punts out of
the end zone for safeties, which
gave the Volunteers the mo
mentum to pull off the upset.
Cole said that’s a snapper’s
nightmare.
“I’m just glad it didn’t rain
(against South Carolina)," Cole
said. “It’s my nightmare at least.”
Wallace said he tries not to
think about situations like that.
“As a snapper, you sort of watch
for that stuff when it happens to
other teams," he said.
Goff up on Volunteers
By GENE WILLIAMS
Sports Writer
Georgia head coach Ray Goff
said that his team would be in for
a tough, uphill struggle against
the sixth-ranked Tennessee Vol
unteers Saturday evening in
Knoxville.
‘They are so dad-gum good
running the football, but they are
also so dad-gum good passing,
too,” GofTsaid. “It will be a tough
situation for our young players.”
The Vols are led on offense by
tailback Reggie Cobb, who
rushed for 255 yards last week
against Auburn and was named
the SEC Offensive Player of the
Week. Cobb is the SEC’s leading
rusher with 510 yards on 70 car
ries for the season. Assisting
Cobb in the backfield is freshman
tailback Chuck Webb, who has
gained 310 yards and three
touchdowns. Goff had high praise
for these two backs.
“Webb and Cobb remind me of
(Tim) Worley and (Rodney)
Hampton,” Goff said. ‘They are
two excellent backs.”
“Cobb is like another Tim
Worley, but maybe a little
faster,” Hiawatha Berry said.
For the first time this season,
the Bulldogs will face a scram
bling, active quarterback. Ster
ling Henton has rushed for 107
yards and a touchdown and has
completed 25 of his 37 passes for
337 yards. The combination of
Webb, Cobb, and Henton has
charged the Vols and given them
the SEC’s most productive
rushing attack, which has
pleased Tennessee coach Johnny
Majors
“One of our goals was to im
prove our rushing attack and to
make it a more positive factor in
our offense," Majors said. “I’d say
I’m pleased with the basic pro
gress that we’ve made in the run
ning game."
Goff commented that his team
came out of the South Carolina
game with no major injuries.
Game time for Tennessee is set
for 7:00 on Saturday. It will be
televised by ESPN.
Rugby Dogs knock off
tough Columbus club
By DOUG HAYMANS
Contributing Writer
The Georgia men’s rugby team
officially opened its fall schedule
Sunday in a down pour as they de
feated a tough Columbus Cruisa-
matics team.
An extremely physical contest
was made even tougher by the tor
rential rains that fell over the
weekend. The first half saw little
scoring with only a David Bailey
field goal, which tied the score 3-3.
With the start of the second half,
Georgia ignited behind a pair of
scores by David Bailey and Nick
Metcalf. Bailey added another field
goal to drive the score to 18-3. Co
lumbus made a last-ditch effort to
come back but it was a case of too
little, too late. The final score was
Georgia 18, Columbus 12.
Following the Aside game,
Georgia’s B-team took to the field
in a battle of their own, but came
up short os they lost 10-4.
Georgia travels to Atlanta this
weekend to take on High Country
and will return Oct. 14 to play Au
burn. The game will be played at
the intramural fields at 1:00 p.m.
The match with Auburn will pit
two of the finest collegiate rugby
clubs in the South against each
other. Auburn is known as a team
that combines strength with fi
nesse and speed, much like its foot
ball team. Georgia will have its
hands full with the Plainsmen, but
expects to get a boost from the
home crowd.
