Georgia swimmers win landslide
Lee Ann Fletcher: Takes a dive while an Auburn swimmer
leaves the pool. Won on one-meter board Saturday.

The Georgia swim team seized a
victory against Auburn in a dual
meet Saturday in Athens.
Georgia won in a landslide, 83 to
57 for the women and 65 to 48 for
the men. Swim conch Jack Bauerle
said that it was tough preparing
for the weaker Tigers.
“Sometimes when you're swim
ming a meet that’s not very chal
lenging you don’t swim as well ”
Bauerle said. "We swam really
well, whether the competition was
there or not.”
Freshmen Paige Wilson, Malin
Gustavsson, and Maggie West
combined for five first-places and
and 34 points in individual events.
‘There was good racing competi
tion. Our main goal was to race,
even with our own teammates,”
West said.
Bauerle said that he was partic
ularly pleased with the freshman
men. Eric Fors, Matt Hand, and
Brian Deutch all upset their rivals
by taking first or second place in
their events.
“On paper, they’re probably sup
posed to be third or fourth,”
Bauerle said. "But when Eric won
second in the 200 individual
medley, the flow of the meet
changed”
“I thought I was fighting for
third place, and I knew the team
was going to need it. I fought him
to the wall,” Fors said.
One disappointment was Lee
Ann Fletcher’s loss on the three-
meter board putting an end to her
winning streak.
“I had to do a new dive and it
made me lose my concentration.”
Fletcher said. “But I am really
thrilled about winning (the one-
meter board) against SEC champ
Maria Smith.”
The Swim Dogs travel to LSU on
Saturday.
At the SEC Indoor tournament at Nashville, Georgia's Al Parker
defeated Keith Evans of Ole Miss 6-4, 6-2 to win the singles title
Monday. The Bulldogs' next match will be at the Georgia Indoor
courts February 3 against North Carolina State.
8-0 Gym Dogs come from behind
By CHRIS LANCETTE
Sports Staff Writer
It wasn't exactly pretty but it
was certainly effective.
The Georgia gymnastics team
(8-0) Saturday stumbled early
but fought back and beat three of
last year’s Top 12 teams in a
quadrangular meet at Arizona.
Georgia scored a 188.28 to eclipse
the Arizona Wildcats (187.40),
the Cal State-Fullerton Titans
(186.75) and the Oregon State
Beavers (186.30).
The Lady Dogs fell three times
on its firBt event, the balance
beam, and ended the first rota
tion in last place. They picked up
the pace on floor and vault and
then down by .35 going into the
last rotation, hit all six bar rou
tines to sneak passed the Wild
cats.
"We started off pretty slow on
beam but pulled together on the
other three events and picked it
up,” said in a telephone interview
freshman Jennifer Carbone, who
tied for second place in the all-
around with a 37.95 and led all
Georgia all-arounders.
Freshman Heather Stepp re
covered fully enough from injury
to make her all-around debut,
scoring a 37.85. Senior Corrinne
Wright finished with a 37.6.
No Georgia gymnast captured
an apparatus title.
Georgia coach Suzanne Yo-
culan said that while she didn’t
like being behind for much of the
meet, ehe wae etill satisfied with
the team’s performance.
“I didn’t like being behind
going into the last rotation but I
think the girls showed a lot by
coming from behind and win
ning,” she said. ‘It was a good
chance to measure ourselves
against top competition.”
After the disastrous 45.80
start on beam, the Gym Dogs
moved to the floor exercise and
earned a 47.10 deepite three
gymnasts stepping out of bounds
and receiving a .10 deduction.
Wright led the sqaud with a 9.6.
Freshman Lisa Alicea got
things going for Georgia on the
vault, posting a sturdy 9.30.
Wright lead the lineup on the
event with another 9.6.
Freshman Chris Rodis scored a
9.55 while Carbone and Stepp
each added a 9.45.
The Lady Dogs then hit all six
bar routines and scored a 48.0 to
win the meet.
Rodis scored a career-high
9.75, tying Stepp for top Georgia
honors on the event.
“I wasn’t as nervous being be
hind going into the last event as I
was determined to hit the bars no
matter what,” Rodis said in a
telephone interview.
Georgia headed into a meet
against BYU last night hoping to
get a 190 but due to the time dif
ference, results were unavailable
at press time.
Heather Stepp: Made
all-around debut at meet.
In other gymnastics action:
The Utah Utes beat Oregon
State 189.60-189.05, one day
after the Beavers lost to Georgia.
The Utes have vet to leave
western confines. Look for their
scores to drop considerably when
they do. Auburn stunned
Florida 186.96-185.60. The meet
at Auburn was the Tigers’ first
time in 11 years they beat the
Gators. The Gators earlier this
season lost three starters and are
basically out of national
championship contention. UCLA
whipped the California Golden
Beara 188.65-178.35.Alabama
visited Penn State, struggling
for the win with a 187.0.
Athletic Association introduces NCAA reference manual
By CHRIS LANCETTE
Staff Writer
The Georgia Athletic Associa
tion Saturday unveiled two initia
tives designed to aid the
University in complying with the
increasingly complex NCAA regu
lations on athletics.
The initiatives are part of the
“Compliance Program.” The pro
gram will result in the production
of a 13-chapter compliance ref-
ernce manual and a compliance
coordinator who will be charged
with the responsibility of over
seeing all of the University’s at
tempts in complying with the
NCAA and SEC regulations.
"Basically, I would hope that the
program relieve any fears that the
athletic department isn’t doing tho
job it ought to in complying with
NCAA rules,” said Boyd McW
horter, who os special assistant to
thepresident, developed the idea.
The reference manual, which ex
plains how NCAA and SEC regula
tions effect the University, is
designed to be a handy tool for
coaches and recruiters by alle
viating all confusion about what
the association will allow them to
do in regards to student athletes.
Chapter topics include re
cruiting and admittance eligibility

requirements.
Two of the 13 chapters have al
ready been completed. The rest of
the manual should be written
within the next six months.
"The manual is something
Coach Dooley and I discussed,” Mc
Whorter said. "What the athletic
association is trying to do is take
the entire NCAA and SEC manuele
and trying to reduce it to a ready
reference guide which people can
go to when needed.”
The second phase of the compli
ance program will be the the hiring
of a compliance coordinator, a posi
tion expected to be created and
filled within three years.
In other action at the meeting,
the GAA:
• voted to increase football
ticket prices from $16 to $18. The
price increase doesn't affect stu-
dent tickets, although the board
may look into that at a later date.
• voted to commit a total of $18,-
000 to the Chuckie Mullins Fund.
Mullins is the Ole Miss football
player who was paralyzed.
• announced that ribbon-cutting
ceremonies for the new baseball
stadium at Foley Field will be April
7. The Diamond Dogs on that date
host Tennessee in a double-header.
• issued its fall quarter aca
demic report. The combined GPA of
all athletes for fall was 2.59, the
highest in three years. Five of
seven women’s sports and three
men’s sports haa GPA’s higher
than the general student body.
• announced that school mascot
“UGA IV” is in poor condition and
isn’t expected to live much longer.
A grave has already been prepared
beside UGA IV's forefathers.
