But the defense came through (in fact, eig ht of those playing were walk-ons) and showed the War Eagles that they could beat them at their own game. Continuing in the grand ole Georgia tradition, the Bullpups blanked Florida ' s Baby Gators 17-0 in Gainesville. Quarterback Chris Welton ran 8 yards for Georgia ' s first touchdown. Corley McMillan added the PAT and an impressive 33-yard field goal, and walk-on running back Micheal Bussey scored in the fourth quarter. Georgia stand-outs were Sam Fife, who ran 103 yards in 18 carries and Donnie McMickens who totaled 73 yards on 17 tries. The Turkey Day game is always a big deal for the Bullpups and Doc Ayers. First of all, because Georgia plays Georgia Tech (at Tech). Sec- ondly, because the proceeds go to the SCOTTISH RITE HOSPITAL FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN. And finally. because the players sell most of the tickets themselves. This year the players sold approximately $3,000 in ticket sales. And the spirit generated by the sales carried over to the game, ' cause the Pups did the Baby Jackets in, 20-12, before a crowd of almost 12,000. Scoring went like this: McMickens went wide for a 72- yard touchdown and McMillan kicked the extra point early in the first quarter. McMillan also kicked a 20- yard field goal to make it 10-0 at the end of the first quarter. Georgia picked up 10 more points in the second quarter by a Sawyer pass to Walker and McMillan ' s PAT and 37- yard field goal, and Tech still stood at nothing. Neither team scored during the third quarter, but Tech decided to come back to life in the fourth quarter and scored a quick 12 points. Luckily, it was too little, too late, and the Pups wound up with a coveted victory and a winning season, 4-1. (Still, the Baby Jackets lead the 42-year old rivalry, 22-20-1). Doc Ayers was very pleased with the record and the Pups ' performance, and especially bragged on his walk-ons. I don ' t think we could have a very good JV team if we didn ' t have the walk-ons. We ' re really happy with the way they ' re played. Ayers said his team came through under pressure, which is the mark of a good team. Vince Dooley shouldn ' t have to worry bout his Dogs next year; with the Pups winning like they do, maybe they can teach the Dogs their technique! BULLPUPS 109

The club was even considered for membership in the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association as a result of their re- cord. Coach Kurt Knisely led the Dogs to some amazing victories over schools like Purdue, the Citadel, and Swarth- more.
