Dog hoop season slams in

Over 4,600 Bulldog fans
yearning for something to cheer
about, took part early Monday in
“Midnight Madness* — the start
of the Georgia roundball season.
“I was really pleased and sur
prised to see that many enthu
siastic fans on a school night,*
Georgia Coach Hugh Durham
said. “It was really outstanding.”
Outstanding aptly describes
the welcome Bulldog fans gave
junior college transfer Antonio
Harvey. The 6-11, 215 pound
power forward from Gautier,
Miss., started the morning by
winning the slam dunk contest
with two powerful windmill jams,
which sent pulses skyward and
the crowd to their feet.
“I was a little rusty,” Harvey
said. “It’s going to take a lot of
work to get in shape to play but it
was nice being out there again.”
Next, the troops were divided
into two squads and played four
10-minute quarters. The Red
team was coached by The Red
and Black sports editor Randy
Walker, basketball beat writer
David Pace and Magic 102 radio

in position Monday
personality Dave Alexander. The
Black team was coached by Bruce
Silverman and Jonathan Burns
of the Campus Times.
Even though Silverman’s
squad had last year’s starters
Litterial Green, Marshall Wilson,
and Rod Cole as well as the tal
ented Arlando Bennett and
Harvey, they were no match for
the superior coaching of The Red
and Black brain trust. The Red
team’s Neville Austin pumped in
12 points with four blocked shots
and Shaun Golden added 10
points as the Red team won 47-
44.
“It goes to show what kind of
depth Georgia has this year,”
Pace said. “Not to mention what
good coaching can do for a team.”
“Hey, but Bruce and I dressed
real nice for the game,” Burns
said.
But now the real work begins
in preparation for November 9th,
when the Dogs play an exhibition
game against Newcastle Aus
tralia in the Coliseum. The big
gest challenge for Georgia is
replacing All-Everything for
ward-center Alec Kessler.
Kessler was the Bulldogs’ main
gun averaging over 20 points a
game and 10 rebounds. However,
Durham isn’t looking for one
person to take up Kessler’s slack.
“No one person will be able to
come in and give us the produc
tion that Kessler did,” Durham
said. “What we will be looking for
is to spread the points and re
bounds around to a combination
of people. But we have got to get
points inside.”
Parker recovers with weekend win
By RANDY WALKER

After losing in the second round of the Southern
Collegiate Tennis Championships on Oct. 5, Georgia
senior A1 Parker felt he had something to prove.
What he proved in the weekend’s Northriver Na
tional Clay Court Invitational in Tuscaloosa, Ala., is
that you can’t keep him down for long.
Parker won the event, which featured a national
field of players, with a 6-1, 7-5 victory over Miami’s
Conny Falk Sunday afternoon.
“I just wanted to do well and prove to myself that I
could win the tough matches again,” Parker said. “I
felt I had something to prove after doing so poorly at
the Southern Collegiates.”
Playing in only his second competitive match in al
most two months, Parker lost to N.C. State’s Glen
Philp at last week’s Southern Collegiates. The usually
steady and patient Claxton, Ga., native often pressed
his shots and committed numerous unforced errors.
“A1 pressed himself at the Southern Collegiates and
found himself not on the top of his game,” Georgia
coach Manuel Diaz said.“ This weekend, he learned to
relax more and hit out on the ball. He was able to ac
celerate his shots more and played with a lot more
confidence.”
Parker’s ablilty to keep his groundstrokes deep
with heavy spin enabled him to jump to a lead against
the top-seeded Falk.
“I was hitting high, heavy balls which caused
Conny to hit short balls which I moved in on and at
tacked," Parker said.
Falk, a NCAA semi-finalist last year, then won four
consecuative games to move ahead of Parker 5-4.
“He changed his game and became more aggres
sive,” Parker said. “My shots didn’t have the sting
that they had earlier in the match.”
Freshman takes Lady Gator title
Dogs still suffer from TD-itis

As the Bulldogs prepare for a
homecoming date with Vanderbilt,
Georgia coach Ray Goff is still
searching for the road map to di
rect his Bulldogs to the endzone as
Georgia’s inability to score con
tinues.
In Georgia’s latest setback, a 28-
12 thrashing by the Ole Miss Re
bels, the Bulldog offense moved the
ball swifty until they reached the
shadow of the promised land's goal
posts.
“We just can’t seem to get the
ball in the endzone,” Goff said. “We
were down there three times in the
first half and we couldn’t put the
ball in the endzone."
In the first half, the Bulldogs
had a first and 10 on three sepa
rate occasions deep in Ole Miss ter
ritory. The nine plays Georgia ran
on the those three series netted a
total of 16 yards and two John
Kasny field goals.
"Touchdowns win football
games,” quarterback Greg Talley
said. “But we just didn’t get it in.”
For some reason, the Bulldog
coaching staff has not found an an
swer to the nagging question of
why the offense can’t finish off a
drive for the big six. Kasay has
scored 39 points this season — 36
from field goals. As a team, the
Bulldogs have scored 82 points.
Subtract Kasa^s treys and the
Georgia offense is averaging 7.6
points per game.
Compounding the Bulldogs’ of
fensive woes is Georgia’s inability
to stop the option. Even though
Georgia had faced option offenses
the past two Saturdays, the Rebels
veer offense, which came into the
game averaging 164.8 yards per
game on the ground, rushed for 292
yards on 54 attempts.
East Carolina gained 147 yards
on 38 carries and Clemson gained
341 yards on the ancient pitchback
play.
The road doesn’t get any easier
as the Commodores, one of the best
offensive teams in the conference,
possess an explosive wishbone for
mation that requires perfect execu
tion to defend.
Vandy averages 320 yards per
game in total offense and has
gained 892 yards this season on
the ground — 148 yards per game.
According to Goff, the key to stop
ping the option and breaking the
Vandy wishbone is for each de
fender to do his job.
“We didn’t take the pitchback
man against Ole Miss,” Goff said.
‘There were way too many blown
assignments and we can’t have
that if we want to win.”
Linebacker DeWayne Simmons
said that part of the problem comes
from the Bulldogs’ propensity to
think instead of react.
“We have got to react quicker.
Simmons said. “We are thinking
too much out there. What we need
to be doing is reacting to what’s
going on instead of thinking about
being in the right spot."
In the Ole Miss game, the
Bulldog offense’s lack of production
broke the spirit of their defensive
counterparts. After Georgia scored
its only touchdown to make the
score 21-12, the Bulldog defense
arose and stopped the Rebel of
fense cold on tne ensuing series.
Ole Miss then punted to the
Georgia 38, where the Bulldog of
fense sputtered and consequently
gave the ball back to the Rebels.
Four minutes later, the Rebels
scored the back-breaking touch
down to make the score 28-12.
According to offensive coordi
nator George Haffner, the Bulldogs
cannot solev depend on the defense
to repeatedly save the lagging of
fense.
“We have got to knock it in,"
Haffner said. “Scoring touchdowns
would pick up the defense and the
kicking game, and prove some
thing to our entire team and keep
some momentum."
SPORTS BRIEFS:
Linebacker Mo Lewis is listed
as day-to-day after suffering an
ankle sprain in Saturday’s game.
Lewis did not practice Monday but
is expected to play Saturday
against Vanderbilt.
Nosetackle Tracey Hussey is
also listed as day-to-day with an
ankle sprain and is also expected to
play on Saturday.
Latricia Drake, a projected
back-up forward on this year’s
women’s basketball team, was dis
missed from the team, coach Andy
Landers announced Monday. De
tails of the dismissal were not
available late Monday.
University President Charles
Knapp made a rare visit to foot
ball practice Monday. The last time
Knapp visited practice was last
year after the Dogs lost three con
secutive games. Georgia then re
sponded with four straight
victories.

Freshman Georgia tennis player
Laura Kimel says she plays tennis
without a lot of confidence.
After the weekend’s Lady Gator
Invitational in Gainesville, Fla.,
Kimel’s dilemma could become a
thing of the past.
The Winter Park, Fla., native
defeated Dawn Martin of Ten
nessee 6-1, 6-4 to win her first col
legiate title Sunday afternoon.
"I usually don’t have that much
confidence,” Kimel said. “After this
tournament I guess I'll have a
little. I never go into a tournament
and expect to win."
In fact, Kimel was even sur
prised that she was the No. 3-
seeded player. Her side of the draw
opened up slightly when second-
seeded Holly Danforth of Florida
withdrew from the tournament.
Kimel, ranked No. 26 in the
Volvo Tennis collegiate rankings,
battled her way to the finals with a
6-7, 6-2, 6-1 quarterfinal victory
over Florida’s Andrea Berger and a
6-3, 1-6, 7-5 victory over Florida’s
Holly Lloyd in the semifinals.
Kimel stayed strong throughout
her match with Martin, despite the
draining semi-final victory over
Lloyd.
Kimel cited her ability to over
come the hot and humid conditions
ns a decisive factor in the match
against Martin.
Georgia coach Jeff Wallace said
Kimel’s tactics and first-serve per
centage helped her in her tourna
ment victory.
“She played very well and very
smart,” Wallace said. “She got a lot
of first serves in on key points
which helped her a lot. She also
came forward and won some points
at the net."
Fellow Bulldog freshman Angela
Lettiere, the tournament’s top-
seeded player, was upset in the
quarterfinals by Florida’s Erika
Kuttler 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 Lettiere out
lasted teammote Shawn McCarthy
in three sets in the prior round.
Kimel, Lettiere, Maria Salsgnrd
and Tonya Bogdonas will all play
in this weekend’s Woodside Invita
tional in Woodside, S.C.
