After the students’ car stopped on his property, Drouin got into his car and followed them before the alleged attack.

Friday in the Green and Gold game. “Our shooting was adequate,” Coach York said “but our defense was better than I expected.” The coach was happy to see the good effort. “The boys handled the press all right and did a pretty good job of hitting the boards,” Coach York said. Coach York hasn’t announced his starting team but if the Bears had to play tonight he probably would go with the same five that started for the Green in the scrimmage. That team had Jeff Treadway at the point guard and Kim Ray at the other guard spot. Lady Generals get second win with defeat of CVCC The Gordon Junior College Lady Generals tucked their second victory in the young 1977-78 basketball season under their wing Saturday night by defeating Chattahoochee Valley Community College in Phenix City, Ala., 65-59. The score was much closer than the game ever was. The game started on an unusual note. Instead of the regular tipoff, a technical foul was called against CVCC for not having its lineup in the proper numerical order in the official scorebook.

But he prom ised his team would bounce back for the Nov. 26 “state championship” game in Atlanta against Georgia. “I won’t have to worry about getting the team up for Geor gia,” Rodgers said. “They will do that themselves.” Both Georgia and Georgia Tech have disappointing 5-5 records, so they’ll be playing to see which will have a winning season as well as state “bragg ing rights” for the next year. After the Navy game, Tech’s third consecutive loss, Rodgers said, “We’re simply not playing well right now. We can’t seem to get the ball and you can’t score without it.” Navy had the ball for 41 of the 60 minutes in Saturday’s game, much of that time spent on runs by Joe Gattuso, who picked up 142 yards on 38 carries. Navy quarterback Bob Les zczynski ran for one touchdown and set up another. Tech’s Rodney Lee gave the Yellow Jackets a lead early in the game, scoring from 23 yards after a Navy field goal had given the Middies the lead. Navy countered with Les zczynski’s 3-yard touchdown run, then took a 17-7 lead in the second period on a 69-yard drive that ended with John Ku rowski’s 1-yard plunge. Georgia Tech quarterback Gary Hardie hit Eddie Lee Ive ry with a 51-yard scoring pass to narrow the margin at 17-13 at halftime, and the teams traded field goals in the final two quarters. Tech threatened in the final minutes, but Navy’s Glenn Flanagan sealed the verdict with an interception of a Hardie pass at the Navy three. Don Blanton was the wingman, Lamell Stokes was the big forward and Joe Ward, a freshman opened at center. The freshman led all scorers in the scrimmage with 16 points. Coach York feels Ward will develop into a great player. “He’s up and down right now,” the coach said. “He will definitely help our ball club, especially after he becomes more consistent.” Ward is a 6-3 and growing starter with loads of potential. Griffin opens the 1977-78 season Friday in Covington against the Newton County Rams. Coach York reminded fans that all games, at home and on the road, will begin at 6:45. Joanie Weldon hit the free throw and Gordon was never behind. The Lady Generals got off to a 17-3 lead as all-state player Joanie Weldon and freshman Francine Banks controlled the boards and Gordon’s fast-paced game. Weldon had 15 first half points and moved with ease through the CVCC defense. The half ended with the Lady Generals holding a 38-18 lead.

The Gladiators of Coach Billy Henderson, ran their unbeaten streak to 11 this season, battering Henderson 21- 0 Saturday night to reach the playoff. They will face Lakeside, 10-1, this weekend.

In another big contest Saturday night, quarterback Jeff Paulk scored three touchdowns on runs of 13,2 and 1 yards and passed for another of 15 yards to spark eight-ranked Wheeler to a 26-13 victory over South Cobb. The triumph sends the Wildcats’ into a Region SAAA playoff with Campbell of Smyrna.

The “B” team led by Erin Gardner of Stockbridge with 8 points finished the game but not without a struggle. CVCC got fired up the second half, but never came closer than the final score. CVCC had a good opportunity in the second half when the Lady Generals played 7 minutes and 12 seconds without scoring. The basket appeared to have a lid on it as Gordon missed over 20 shots during the scoreless stretch. Coach Edney elected to let her “B” team work themselves out of the problem rather than call the “A” team back into the game. Weldon finished as high scorer for the night with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Gordon hit on only 54 percent of its free throws and CVCC hit 61 percent from the charity stripe.

(AP) - After clinching second place in the Southeastern Conference, Au burn quarterback Charlie Trot man joked: “We could have lined up in a shotgun and had them snap the ball all the way back there and our backs would still have gotten good yardage. That’s how good our line was blocking.” For Vince Dooley, whose Georgia Bulldogs may be on their way to their first losing season in his 14 years as head coach, “it was the running game of Auburn and the old mistakes of Georgia.” The Bulldogs, 5-5, wind up their season against Georgia Tech, also 5-5, in two weeks. Georgia will have to go against Tech without quarterback Steve Rogers, who suffered a dis located shoulder in Saturday’s loss. Auburn also is 5-5 for the year, but the Tigers are 4-1 in the SEC, while Georgia is 2-4 in the conference. Auburn’s William Andrews’ two touchdowns sparked the Ti gers to Saturday’s 33-14 victory over Georgia, but the Bulldogs’ seven fumbles contributed heavily to the outcome. “Anytime you lose six fum bles out of seven and have as many penalties as we did, it’s difficult to beat anybody,” Doo ley said later.

Some 150 people of the 600 who started the race finished. Slade said the cold weather and steady wind caused many of the runners to drop out before they reached the finish line. Many runners participated in an attempt to qualify for the Boston marathon, Slade said. Runners from all over the country including states such as California, Texas and New York were represented. Slade who is a real estate man and Raleigh who is employed at Southern States at Hampton had stepped up their running in recent weeks to prepare for the Callaway run. the season, a conference record. Auburn also scored on a 2- yard run by Foster Christy. That capped a 37-yard drive that was set up when Georgia’s Mike Garrett managed a punt of only 23 yards.
