Dogs score 124 to defeat Hilltoppers
Point total 2nd in Georgia history
By ERIK SCHMIDT
Sports Writer
The Georgia men’s basketball
team (3-0) erased an early 3-0
Western Kentucky lead, with 19
unanswered points as they annihi
lated the Hilltoppers 124-65 in
front of 7,417 at tne Georgia Col
iseum last night.
The Dogs exhibited an all-out at
tack that made the German Blitzk
rieg look like a kiddie ride as five
Georgia players scored in double
figures in Georgia’s compilation of
the second-highest point total in
team history.
“We play unselfish,” starting
point guard Rod Cole said. ‘That’s
what mokes this a great team. Ev
erybody plays together.”
The Bulldog inside game was es
pecially impressive as in the first
half alone, starters Marshall
Wilson, Neville Austin and Ar-
lando Bennett poured in 18 points
while gobbling up 13 rebounds on
the way to posting a 58 31 halftime
lead.
And as usual, the Georgia de
fense was dominant.
Utilizing an effective full-court
press, the Dogs came away with 19
steals, including two first-half
takeaways by the 6-foot-ll Austin.
“We have to press, run and play
a lot of people,” Georgia coach
Hugh Durham said. ‘The other
team has a tendency to get tenta
tive (when faced with a press).”
“Defense is really the key,” Cole
said. “When we score points off the
press, (the other team) tend to get
down and force things.”
Antonio Harvey led the team in
block shots with three of the Dogs’
eight total rejections
Western Kentucky (0-2), a team
destined to wind up on the wrong
side of many an opponent’s high
light reel, was held to a miserable
38 percent shooting from the floor.
Tenacious pressure, solid blocking
out and an unkind rim plagued the
Hilltoppers all night long.
The 59-point loss was the worst
defeat Western Kentucky has suf
fered since 1924 when they lost 57-
12 to the now-defunct basketball
team of Peabody College in Nash
ville, Tenn.
The often overlooked Bulldog of
fense led by guards Jody Patton
and Litterial Green was equally ef
fective as it rolled up 22 points in
the first seven minutes of the
second half to build a mountainous
80-38 lead with over 13 minutes
left to play.
Patton and Green combined for
41 points as the long-range
bombers sank seven three-pointers
out of a combined 14 attempts.
Patton broke his old Georgia
three-point record by one with six
treys on the evening.
“I got the shots tonight,” said
Patton (21 points). “I expect to
make it everytime I shoot.”
Despite the Dogs’ success this
season, Green (20 points) is still a
little leary.
“Some good things have hap
pened to us," Green said. “But it’s
still early yet."
Jack Jennings led the Hilltop
pers in scoring with 20 points, 13 of
which came in the first half.
The Bulldogs will attempt to fur
ther their early-season success on
Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Coliseum
when they square off against Arm
strong State.

arshiper Maurice Brown. Roberts
canned an apparent three-pointer
(although ruled a two-pointer)
from the right corner on the buzzer
to give Georgia its 124th point —
the second highest point total in
Bulldog history.
“I saw that time was running out
and Maurice got me the ball,” said
Roberts, a freshman fom Monroe.
“I just threw it up and it was in.”
Georgia’s highest point total
came in 1967 when they scored 138
against Arkansas A&M.

Lady Dogs win big
over Lady Indians
By BILLY COPELAN
Sports Writer
The fourth-ranked Lady Dogs
basketball team opened it’s
season last night in the Coliseum
with a resounding 109-70 victory
over the Lady Indians of N.E.
Louisiana.
The Lady Dogs utilized an ag-
ressive attacking defense to
spark their new forming running
game in the route.
“We have the fast breaks (in
the first halO, but we weren’t
scoring on them,” said guard
Camille Lowe, who led Georgia
with 23 points. “By the second
half we had gotten used to what
they were doing it was alot easier
to play then.”
Tammye Jenkins, despite
playing with a sore knee, scored
20 points and grabbed 13 re
bounds. Lady Hardmon was the
only other Georgia player to score
in double figures as she added
ten points in only 20 mintues of
playing time.
Georgia broke the game open
in the second half out scoring the
Lady Indians with a 33-18 spurt,
which included two 7-0 runs in
an eight minute span.
The Lady Dogs played slug
gishly in the opening minutes is
the game, committing numerous
turnovers and fouls. N.E. Loui
siana held a 7-6 lead with 16:03
to play in the first half before the
Lady Dogs got on track with a 23-
7 run that put Georgia ahead to
stay 29-13 at the 7:52 mark.
N.E. Louisiana cut the lead to
eight with 2:04 to play before
Hardmon scored three straight
baskets to thwart the Lady Ind-
dian rally.
The second half proved to be
more of the same as the Lady
Peter Frey/Tho t
Jessica Barr
Dogs picked up the defensive in
tensity, frustrating their oppo
nent into many turnovers that
led to easy layups.
The Georgia aefense held N.E.
Louisiana to 38% shooting for the
game and forced 19 Lady Indian
turnovers. The Lady Dogs also
had 18 steals. Georgia’s biggest
lead was 101-58 with 2:11 to
play.
Ranita Bolton led the Lady In
dians with 21 points , twelve
coming on three-pointers.
One down note for the Lady
Dogs is that Jessica Barr,
Georgia’s only low-post substi
tute went down with a knee in
jury with 2:19 to play in the
game. Her status remains uncer-
tian.
Jones brothers stand face to face
By GENE WILLIAMS
Sports Writer
The biggest question in Satur
day’s contest between Georgia and
Georgia Tech in Sanford Stadium
(12:30, WTBS) will be if either
team will be able to keep up with
the Joneses.
Tech quarterback Shawn Jones
is the spark that has triggered the
Yellow Jackets (9-0-1) to their cur
rent No. 2 national ranking and
undefeated season. The sophomore
has completed 127 of 225 passes for
1,783 yards and nine touchdowns.
In addition, Jones is the Yellow
Jackets’ third leading rusher with
262 yards and six touchdowns on
85 carries. Georgia Coach Ray Goff
said that Jones is defintely the
most complete quarterback the
Bulldogs have seen to date.
"Shawn Jones is an excellent
player," Goff said. “He may not be
the best pnsser or n great runner,
but he combines both of those skills
as well as anyone we have played
agninst this year."
Even though he was only a
freshman, Jones started every
game last season for Tech. The
Jackets struggled early, losing
their first three games before reel-
ling three consecutive victories.
Then, after a tough loss to Duke on
October 28, 1989, Tech won its re
maining four games to finish 7-4
and has not lost this season. Jones
finished the season with 1,748
yards passsing and 330 yards
rushing and was voted the ACC
Rookie-of-the Year.
Jones has thrown 12 intercep
tions on the season which should
have Georgia’s side of the Jones’
family, Shawn’s younger brother
Mike, the starting strong safety for
the Bulldogs, licking his chops.
“It’s not really hard on our par
ents because they root for botn of
us,” Shawn said.
Over the course of the season,
GofT has been impressed with
Mike’s play and has said that the
sophomore free safety is perhaps
the most improved player on tne
squad.
“Mike Jones has really started to
be a big contributor for us. We’ve
had to shuffle him around this
season, but someone flipped on a
light switch at Florida and he is be
coming the player that we knew he
would be,” Golt said.
Mike was one of the best de
fensive prospects coming out of
high school, but was forced to play
as a freshman because of the Bull
dogs’ lack of depth. He developed
slowly and this season, due to inju
ries to David Hargett and Chris
Wilson, he has been flipped-
flopped from strong to free and
back to strong safety.
But during the Florida game,
Mike recorded 10 tackles, one sack,
and forced and recovered a fumble
which stopped a Gator scoring
threat. Mike is the Bulldogs’ fourth
leading tackier with 63 on the
season.
Georgia will need that type of
performance from Jones ana the
rest of the defense in order to slow
down the Ramblin’ Wreck.
Kappa Sigma wins championship
Kappa Sigma fraternity won the
University Intramural . Football
Championship Wednesday with a
47-46 double-overtime victory over
Beta Theta Pi fraternity at the In
tramural Fields.
Beta quarterback Les Wynn’s
extra point pass, intended for
Jumes Brittle, was blocked in the
end zone to clinch the Kappa Sigma
victory.
With the score tied 26-26 after
regulation play, both squads com
menced into a sudden death tie-
break. Beta had a chance to win
the game with eight seconds re
maining, but Wynn’s pass was in
tercepted in the endzor.e as the
clock ran out.
Beta held a 26-14 lead in the
second half. But Kappa Sigma was
able to battle back. In the losing ef
fort, Wynn scored two of the four
touchdowns in regulation play.
The game would be decided by
whichever team could score a
touchdown from the 20-yard line
while preventing the other team to
score on the next possession.
In one of the day’s most peculiar
plays, Beta player Jim Chester
picked off a Kappa Sigma lateral
pass and then pitched to teammate
Scott Johnson to complete a 52-
yard touchdown run.
