accounted for 12 of the Dogs’ 20 points.

The Red a Black
OXFORD, Miss. - With the
score tied in the final quarter and
a drive into enemy territory
hopelessly stalled at the
Mississippi 30-yard-llne, Georgia
head coach Jim Donnan made
the call that probably sent
tremors through the Bulldog
faithful. Out trotted Hap Hines
to attempt his fifth field goal of
the night, a 48-yarder that would
eventually give Georgia its first
lead of the game, 20-17.
Though Ole Miss attempted
to disrupt the Bulldog senior’s
concentration by calling a time
out, Hines said he thought of
nothing other than splitting the
uprights.
“I told myself that there was
no doubt I had the ability to
make it," he said after Georgia’s
upset victory over the Rebels
Saturday night. “I knew if I dug
deep down like this team has and
just sorta hang tough, then it
would make its way through."
Hines’ foot was just what the
doctor ordered to bail out an ail
ing Bulldog offense. On four dif
ferent occasions, Georgia pushed
the bail inside the Rebel 20-yard
line without crossing the goal
line. Hines put three points on
the board on three of those
drives, keeping the Bulldogs
from falling too far behind an Ole
Miss squad bent on making a
New Year's Day bowl game.
“It was real big for Hap and all
of us,” said Georgia receiver
Terrence Edwards. “We couldn't
put it in at the beginning of the
game, but Hap is a weapon him
self and he came in and put
points on the board when we
needed ’em.”
For his effort, the Bulldog
kicker could legitimately wear
the “hero” moniker, but his night
to remember didn’t start out
exactly as planned.
After Ole Miss fumbled during
a punt return, Georgia quickly
moved the ball to the Rebel 12-
yard line. But an incomplete pass
intended for Edwards brought
about fourth down and an appar
ent chip-shot field goal for Hines.
For a team that waited until
the third quarter of the Auburn
game to score its first points, get
ting on the board early against
Ole Miss seemed paramount.
When the kick sailed wide left,
Hines ran to the sidelines with
the memory of the miss already
passing into the damp
Mississippi night.
"On misses, once it leaves my
foot it leaves my mind,” Hines
said. "You’ve got to have a quick
memory.”
Hines would redeem himself
on Georgia’s next possession.
Down 7-0, a Georgia drive to
the Ole Miss 10 again fell short of
the endzone. Despite thoughts of
going for it on fourth down,
Donnan again sent his kicker out
to put the Bulldogs on the score-
board. This time, Hines put the
30-yarder through and Georgia
had its first points of the game.
In the second half, Hines con
nected on two straight field goal
attempts, (23 and 51 yards),
pulling the Bulldogs within a
point of Ole Miss, 10-9.
Though the latter was Just his
second from beyond 50 yards this
season (he hit a 54-yarder vs.
Central Florida), it did not pass
through the uprights without a
little controversy. Much to the
chagrin of the Mississippi fans
and coaches, the snap of the ball
to Bulldog Wynn Kopp appeared
to come after the 25-second
clock had expired. The referees
did not discuss the play, leaving
Rebel coach David Cutcliffe to
wonder what might have been.
"It looked to me like the clock
had been out for a few seconds
(before the kick)," Cutcliffe said
after the game. “But those things
happen.”
Hines’ shining moment finally
arrived with 5:24 left in the final
period.
As the ball sat on the Ole Miss
30, and the score tied at 17, Hines
prepared to give his team its first
lead in two games.
“I like to take a Brett Favre
mentality and I like to say ‘with
out a doubt this is gonna be
good,’ ” Hines said. “I told
myself, 'you know you do this all
the time in practice.' It’s all rou
tine."
“That was a clutch field goal
he made there at the end,"
Donnan said. “All of them were
good, but that one was the
biggest one this year for us.”

Slide offers wet fun
at Ramsey Center
By BRYAN M. GRANTHAM
The Red a Black
Not since Trojans has rubber
made such a big splash at the
University.
On Wednesday night, the
Ramsey Student Center enter
tained hundreds of University
students at the Gabrielsen
Natatorium.
The slide — which stands
more than 10 feet high — is
made by the same company that
makes escape slides from air
planes.
Chris Scollay, the Aquatics
Coordinator for the Ramsey
Center, said the water slide is a
great opportunity for students
to simply get away from the has
sle of their studies and enjoy
themselves.
“We brought the slide in for
the students to just have some
pure fun," Scollay said. “It's
totally stress-free entertainment
for everyone.”
Scollay said the slide will be
back at the Ramsey Center later
this semester on Dec. 12 — just
in time to give students a break
for finals.
John Gilbert, a freshman from
Lilbum, joined in on the slippery
fun at the Ramsey Center
Wednesday.
“I was really excited when I
heard about the slide coming to
Ramsey,” Gilbert said.
“I was a little nervous when I
got to the top of the slide, but it
turned out to be a lot of fun. I
think that every student should
take time out to go and do the
slide,” he said.

Swimming teams i
sweep Gamecocks
By MOLLY BARRETT
The Red a Buck
The No. 7 men’s and No. 1
women’s swimming and diving
teams, both 4-0, once again had
an incredible weekend, sweep
ing South Carolina. The Lady
Bulldogs then turned and
crushed the Texas Longhorns
in Austin Saturday.
Head coach Jack Bauerle
was pleased with the outcomes,
but he was a little shocked the
wins were so substantial
against the Gamecocks. The
men won 116-50, and the
women were victorious with a
score of 128-52.
"I'm a little surprised with
the way the meet went,"
Bauerle said.
“South Carolina challenged
us, but we have enough deep
competition on the team.
Across the board, we’ve raced
hard no matter what the situa
tion is and that’s the mark of
good teams,” he said.
Bauerle stressed that the
teams still need to continue
practicing hard so their rank
ings don’t slip.
Many of the swimmers on
both times achieved provisional
qualifying times for the NCAA
championships in March,
including junior Chris Murray
Murray’s mind-set is to take
one race at a time.
“I'm really happy with my
times today (20.36 in the 50
yard freestyle)," Murray said.
“I’m focusing on the SEC title
right now, and after that I’ll
look forward to the NCAA title.
This meet will definitely help
the rankings go up a couple of
spots.”
Murray already has qualified
for Bahama's Olympic team.
He will start training for Sydney

after the collegiate season ij
over.
Junior Keegan Walkely also
had a good meet, highlighted
by the men’s team chanting
“SEC champion” as she climbed
out of the pool after winning
the 200-yard butterfly event.
Walkely is the defending SEC
champion in the event.
On Saturday, the Lady
Bulldogs proved they deserve
their much needed
Thanksgiving break after they
defeated the Texas swimming
and diving teams.
“We’re really pleased with
our performance, particularly
since we’re coming off of a meet
yesterday,” said Bauerle. "But
Texas is a great team. Our kids
were really excited to come
here.”
Senior Kristy Kowal led the
top-ranked team with decisive
wins in the 100 and 200-meter
breast stroke, while freshman
Maritza Corriea took firsts in
the 100- and 200-meter freestyle
events.
Freshman Becky Wilson
added to the team’s success as
she took first place in both the
1,650- and 500-meter freestyle
events.
"Both teams were tired and
both had tough meets the day
before,” Bauerle said.
“We're pleased to be unde
feated now, but we're now look
ing forward to March.”

Griffin heads to NCAA
Cross Country Finals
Hoping to have a fitting end
to a marvelous career, Drew
Griffin competes in the NCAA
cross country national champi
onship today in Indiana.
Despite an excellent effort in
the NCAA regionals, both the
men's and women's team failed
to qualify for nationals.
As the only member of the
cross country team to qualify,
Griffin faces stiff competition.
Griffin finished seventh
recently in the NCAA regionals
with the time of 30 minutes, 0.82
seconds over 10 kilometers.
Performing through adversity
at times, Griffin proved to be a
leader. Griffin looks to finish in
the top 10 today.
Griffin has managed to bring
home both All-SEC and All-
Regional honors this year.
