Basketball team’s high expectations
thwarted by arch-rival Florida Gators
By DAVID PACE
Sports Writer
Coming from an impressive win
last Wednesday night against Ken
tucky, the Georgia men’s basket
ball team ventured south to
Gainesville, Fla. with high expec
tations.
What they discovered was that
you can’t come out flat and win in
the SEC.
Arch-rival Florida pounded the
Dogs 97-69 to drop Georgia to 8-3
for the season and 1-1 in the SEC.
Georgia was out-rebounded by
the Gators 43-30. The inside play
of 7’2” Dwayne Schintzius was the
key factor in Florida’s win. Georgia
forward Alec Kessler was held to
three points in the first half and
the Dogs never recovered.
Although Kessler adjusted in
the second half and ended the
game with 17 points and 11 re
bounds, it was not enough to stop
the rout.
For Florida, forward Livingston
Chatman led the way with 22
points and eight rebounds. But it
was clearly the play of Dwayne
Schintzius that caused most of the
Dogs’ problems. His presence in
the middle forced numerous turn
overs and hurried shots. He fin
ished with 16 points and seven
rebounds but harassed Georgia all
afternoon.
Austin had some success against
the Gator big men, finishing with
eight points and five rebounds, but
had problems blocking out Schint
zius.
“I don’t think I played very well
the whole game to tell the truth,”
said Austin. “I came back out in the
second half and got the ball a little
bit but still couldn’t get back into
it.”
The Bulldogs offer no excuses for

their lackluster performance on
Saturday and insist that they did
not get frustrated.
“Florida just played well,” said
Litterial Green, who finished the
game with 12 points, two rebounds
and five assists. 'They had their
way with us and did whatever they
wanted to do.”
Tonight, the Dogs are on the
road again in Tuscaloosa to face
the Crimson Tide, which will be
televised on ESPN.
The Crimson Tide, picked to
finish third in the SEC, are led by
forward Melvin Cheatum.
Cheatum comes into the game av
eraging 14.7 points and 6.8 re
bounds.
The Dogs’ task will be to stop the
Tide’s big men and control the
boards. They will also have to shoot
39 percent better than they did
against Florida.
Alabama is coming from a vic
tory over Ole Miss this past Sat
urday. The Tide is 1-1 in SEC
action and 10-3 overall thus far for
the season.
‘They’re going to be real tough.”
said Kessler. They’re real quick,
good jumpers and good shot
blockers. We haven’t played a lot of
teams like that thus far so it will be
a definite challenge for us.”

National ranking up to third
By ERIC GARBER •
Sports Writer
So, what did the Lady Hoopsters
do over Christmas break?
• The team increased its na
tional ranking to number three.
• It won five games against zero
losses to go 12-0 on the season.
• It knocked off its first SEC op
ponent of the year (Florida) 70-58.
With the road to its fourth SEC
championship just beginning, the
Georgia Women’s Basketball team
has already drawn attention as a
national power.
“You go into a season with a
team with so much tradition, you
expect to win,” Coach Andy
Landers said. “Expecting is one
thing, but you are always pleased
when you can experience this kind
of success.”
Georgia’s whipping of Florida
Saturday serves as a microcosm for
the way the team played
throughout Christmas break.
“Our attitude has changed this

ins said. “We worked really hard
over the summer and I feel we have
improved. I’m not surprised that
we are undefeated at this point.”
Just like it did against Stetson
and N.C. State the previous week,
the Lady Dogs did what had to be
done by balancing its scoring to
come away victorious against
Florida.
Jenkins popped for 16 points
against the Gators, complementing
junior forward/center Stacey
Ford’s 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Although Stetson is only 2-9
with its loss to Georgia, the Lady
Dogs were tested as they got
scoring from eight different players
in the absence of two starters to
win the game 86-70. Ford chipped
in a career high 30 points that
game.
'There is no question our confer
ence games will be more difficult,”
Landers said. “But we already
have knocked off some good teams
like Ohio State and South Caro
lina.”
Against N.C. State Wednesday
night, Ford and junior guard Kim
Berry each scored 16 points to
clinch the 89-68 victory.

Coach Landers hopes his team’s
depth will contribute to success the
rest of the season.
“We’ve got three players on the
bench who have been starters at
one time or another,” he said.
‘That should help us in the end. I
feel extremely good about the
depth of our team."

ATHENS, Ga. - Harry
"Squab” Jones, who became a
legend during 80 years in the
University of Georgia’s football
program, died Sunday morning
at the age of 87.
Jones handled a variety of jobs
for the Bulldogs, beginning as a
water boy and acting as equip
ment manager for the national
championship football team in
1980.
“He went peacefully around
5:30 am.,” said his grand
daughter, Julia Jones. “He hadn’t
been well, but we just didn’t ex
pect it. Plans for his funeral are
incomplete. It will probably be
Saturday.”
Bom Sept. 22,1902, in Athens,
Jones began his association with
Bulldog sports as a water boy in
1907. He served in World War I
with the Army. From 1923 until
the mid 1930s, he coached the
Athens Red Sox, a semi pro base
ball team.
He had a variety of responsibi-
I lities at Georgia, including over
seeing the locker room, handling
team operating schedules, seeing
that players got to meetings on
time and making sure fluids were
available for players during prac
tices and games.
Failing health kept Jones
away from some games this year,
said university spokesman
Claude Felton.
He is best known for his asso
ciation with football — his seat
during games was a chair next to
the players’ gate — but he also
helped out in other sports pro
grams.
Georgia athletic director Vince
Dooley named him an athletic as
sociate.
In 1986, he was presented the
“Service to Sports Award” by the
Georgia Sports Hall of Fame for
outstanding contributions to
sports in the state.
“1 guess you can say he’s been
a fixture in our athletic program
for several decades and a favorite
among our players and coaches
for many, many years,” Dooley
said.
