history.
“Considering Kentucky’s bas
ketball heritage, this game has
to be something special for us,”
said Georgia coach John
Guthrie. “It was a fantastic
game.”
The win pulled the Bulldogs
into a fifth-place tie with
Kentucky in the SEC standings
at 5-6, well behind frontrunning
Tennessee (10-1) and runnerup
Alabama (9-2).
The seventh-ranked Vols
throttled Vanderbilt’s top-rung
aspirations 73-59 Monday night
and the 12th-ranked Tide
downed Florida 79-73. Mississip
pi State edged Auburn 75-74 in
the other league game. Missis
sippi and Louisiana State were
idle.
Independent play saw Mem
phis State trounce North Texas
State 111-93 and Tulane turn
back Samford 94-77.
Jacksonville hosts Stetson in
tonight’s only major game in
the Southeast.
Georgia trailed Kentucky by
nine points three times before
taking the lead at 81-79 on
Lucius Foster’s jump shot with
2:19 to play. The Bulldogs then
outscored the Wildcats 5-2 to
boost Georgia’s lifetime record
with Kentucky to 9-54.
Jackie Dorsey’s 24 points
paced the improving Bulldogs,
who lost overtime games last
week to Alabama and Vander
bilt. Mike Phillips led Kentucky
with 18.
“Our players deserve a great
deal of credit after those two
overtime losses last week,”
said Guthrie. “We had great
courage and fortitude to play as
we did.” Vanderbilt’s deliberate
play threw Tennessee off stride
in the first half and the
Commodores led by eight points
after about 10 minutes. But the
Vols rallied for a 27-24 halftime
advantage and then pulled
away in the second half.
“The defensive play was
super in shutting off Vanderbilt
inside,” said Tennessee coach
Ray Mears.
Vanderbilt’s Roy Skinner,
who had boasted recently that
his team was an SEC title
contender after it moved into
third place, conceded that
Vandy was outmanned by the
Vols.
“I’m glad they held it (the
ball) for a while toward the end
of the game or they would have
won by 25 points,” he said.

Tournament Saturday at Griffin Academy. Linda is one of

U.S. skater wins
bronze Olympic
INNSBRUCK (UPI) - Dan
Immerfall of the University of
Wisconsin won a bronze medal
for the United States in speed
skating today but young Phil
Mahre’s bid for an Alpine
Olympic medal ended in gallant
failure.
Immerfall, 20, won his bronze
in the men’s 500-meters to
bring the U.S. total to eight
medals—five in speed skating—
as the team surpassed the
seven won at Sapporo, Japan,
four years ago.
Mahre, the sensation of
Monday’s first giant slalom run
when he took fourth place, was
unable to get those extra few
fractions of a second which
would have vaulted him into
the medals. He finished fifth
but if he was disappointed,
reigning champion Gustavo
Thoeni of Italy was even more
so. The overnight leader
finished out of the medals in
fourth place.
Switzeland’s 27-year-old
Heini Hemmi, a journeyman
who never had won a race on
the World Cup circuit in six
seasons of competition, came
up trumps with a two-heat time
of 3:26.97 to win the gold medal
from teammate Ernst Good and
Swedish daredevil Ingemar
Stenmark. Stenmark roared
from eight place in the first
heat to grab the bronze medal.
Russia picked up two gold
medals, through world record
holder Evgeni Kulikov in the
men’s 500 speed skating and
Raisa Smetanina in the
women’s 10-kilometers cross
country, and with those two
victories became the No. 1
nation in Winter Games history.
Norway, with 47 golds dating
back to 1924, was the previous
record holder but the Soviets
now have 48 and probably will
add a few more before the
Games close Sunday.
Early in the day, East
Germany, which dominated the
single luge running, added the
men’s doubles title through
Hans Rirnrn and Norbert Hahn.
Phil Mahre, 18, of White
Pass, Wash., zoomed down
from in the sixth starting
position in the first seeded
group of 15 runners. He
attacked the course in gutsy
fashion, cutting every one of
the 73 gates close to save those
vital fractions, and finished in
1:42.62 for an overall time of
3:28.20.
For brief minutes, Mahre’s
name was on too of the leader
board.
Stenmark, 19, was the next
man out of the gate. The
Swede, in his customary
