TTiis was a non-conference
game and that could be a reason
for the Braves close call with
defeat. Still, it was the Braves.
The only loss in that span
coming at the hands of Valdosta
State.
With 20 seconds to go in the
game against LaGrange West
Georgia held a three point lead.
A missed Brave free throw was
grabbed by LaGrange and they
scored with 10 seconds left,
cutting the Brave lead by one.
The Braves just inbounded and
ran the clock out to save the
victory.
Tyrone Gates led the Braves
with 28 points, putting his
season average at 17.5, team
tops. Tim Reynolds scored 16
points, Terry Lawrence 15 and

BRAVES ROUTE COLUMBUS
Alas! The Braves really did
try. The game was over for all
practical purposes but there
was still five minutes left. West
Georgia had thoroughly
trounced Columbus College by
17 points in a South Atlantic
Conference game.
The game was won but the
goal wasn’t reached. The crowd
cheered with every bounce of
the ball a Brave player made.
They screamed when Danny
O’Brien made his free throws.
And the t ans left with a satisfied
disappointment.
The Braves beat Columbus 99-
82 but needed one more point to
reach the goal of 100 points. The
Intramural Basketball In Stretch Drive;
Soccer Underway , Other Events Planned
BY JIMMY BLALOCK
With intramurals in full
swing, this week should prove
decisive to many front-running
teams in both basketball and
soccer. While the soccer season
is just underway, the basketball
teams are heading into their
stretch drives.
According to Fred Johnson,
director of intramurals, the big
game was Thursday between
Coastal States and the 76’ers.
Both teams were undefeated
and the winner, an odds on as a
playoff favorite. Both teams are
equipped with high-scoring
offense, with each breaking the
century mark numerous times
during the season.
The results of the Monday
night games were as follows: in
the NBA, Fire whipped C’ville,
74-61; the Bruins took a victory
over the Five Part Invention,
66-47; Coastal States gained a
forfeit victory over the
Warriors; the Outlaws won
Brave reserves had three shots
at the goal with five seconds left
but none would drop in.
Nine Braves scored as West
Georgia upped their record 12-9.
Before the game assistant
coach Frank Sylvester said, “If
we just continue playing as well
as we have we’ll beat Colum
bus. ’’ Even though the Braves
won convincingly they didn’t
play well. West Georgia had
over nine turnovers in the first
half. They were passing bad,
not controlling rebounds, and
their shooting was off.
Still they won and that is all
the counts. Tyrone Gates led the
Braves with 26 points. Tim
Reynolds and Reggie Tyler
each supplied 16 points. Ken
“Blue” Wilson added 12. Two
reserves that proved helpful
were Kevin Price and Danny
O’Brien with seven and six
points respectively. Terry
Lawrence, although he didn’t
get in double figures, brought
the crowd to its feet with two
unbelievable twisting shots.
easily, beating the Trojans, 47-
20; and the Cavaliers outlasted
WGA, 50-43. In Tuesday’s
fraternity league games, Kappa
Alpha Psi beat Sigma Nu, 45-33;
Tau Kappa Episilon beat Chi
Phi, 52-47; and the Pikes
remained undefeated by
whipping Kappa Sigma, 45-33.
In the only ABA game Tuesday,
the Men edged by the Redbugs,
21-17. In the women’s league,
the Dynamites nipped the
Pemm Club, 21-17; and the
Kappa Deltas gained a forfeit
win over the Phi Mus.
Although there are many
teams that are heavy favorites
in the basketball leagues, on the
soccer field it’s a different
story. When asked about a
favorite, Johnson conceded that
it’s pretty much a toss-up. Both
ATO and the Sweathogs are
undefeated, but Pi Kappa
Alpha, Farm, and the Redbugs
only have one loss. In soccer

Then there were the U.S. runners, disqualified for not standing at

Omega beat Farm, 6-3; and the
Pikes blanked Delta Tau Delta;
5-0. Other games played this
week featured Sigma Nu versus
Chi Phi; Farm matched against
the Redbugs; and the battle of
the two undefeated teams, ATO
versus the Sweathogs. The
scores were not available at
press time.
Although basketball and
soccer are the main intramural
sports at present, other events
coming up are wrestling, track,
and softball. An effort has also
been made to hold weekend
intramurals. One such event
held recently was one-on-one
basketball. The contest was won
by Milton Almond, with Mike
Hamer the runner-up. Accord
ing to Johnson, participation in
weekend intramurals has not
been as good as expected. He
also said that it was hard to run
the events on the weekends.

propriate with respect therein.
Catch 22
Finally, look at p. 21 regard
ing searches and seizures in
the dorms. ...if a college official
has reason and probable cause
to believe that a law is being
violated or an institutional
regulation broken, he has the
legal right to enter and search a
student’s room. Nothing is
stated here or elsewhere to the
effect that the violation need
have any connection with the
need to search the room.
Consider this: if the Braves
suffer a “humiliating” defeat, a
college official can search the
players’ rooms, find an
unacademic sexist Superman
comic book, and the President
can order the offender hung by
his toes for three days.
And I ask you, does this
search rule seem directed
against the serious crimes that
are allegedly occurring on
campus? I find nothing in the
Handbook, except for general
statements of good faith
motivations, which would in
dicate that the college assumes
any obligation toward the
student.
In sum, it seems to be that the
Handbook attempts to prohibit
behavior which is already
thoroughly covered by the
Georgia Code. In attempting to
rewrite the Code, adding special
powers, of course, the college
has obscured the law, distorted
its principles and abrogated
every right the student is en
titled to as a citizen of this state
and country. The Handbook is
what I would expect in a P.O.W.
camp.
