During half time ceremonies, Curci presented visiting Prince Charles a Kentucky football shirt.

Other than that, Curci and his team gave away nothing else absolutely nothing. The Wildcats humiliated the Georgia team, 33-0, before 59,100 disbelieving fans on a day which saw Kentucky play flawless football The Wildcats simply didn't make a mistake throughout the long afternoon, and Derrick Ramsey, the 6-5, 225-pounder who plays quarterback for the Wildcats, toyed with the Georgia 'Junk-. yard Dog' defense until it seemed to throw up its collective hands in despair. For Georgia, it was the first time a Bulldog team had been shutout in 57 games and it was the worst defeat Georgia has suffered since los ing 45-6, to Nebraska in the 1969 Sun Bowl. Georgia, now 4-3, managed to play even'" with the Wildcats for only one 15-minute period, and then it was all over before Georgia could, even begin.

With 8:14 remaining in the first half, Joe Bryant kicked a 51-yard field goal to stake Ken-1 tucky to a 3-0 lead, and as it turned out, that! was all the stingy Wildcat defense needed all--afemoon. But less than six minutes later, Ramsey began his act by tossing a little one-yard pass to Freddie Williams for a touchdown and the rout was on. Ramsey had three touchdown passes for the afternoon, and admitted that he was quite -pleased with his show. "This is probably my best day ever," he said. "Our offensive line gave me great protec- tion.

I had time to throw. I felt I could have drank a Coke back there I had so much time."

As usual, the Jackets did the damage on the ground. With Eddie Lee Ivery romping for 128 yards in 13 carries and Gary Hardie, who is sup- posed to be the passing quarterback, scampering for 122 in eight hauls, the Jackets rushed though -through, over and around the befuddled Greenies for 518 yards.

Gary Lanier completed a knuckle-ball pass, one of three thrown, to Drew Hill for 44 more yards. See TECH, Page 10-D By JESSE OUTLAR Conititutlon Sports Editor NEW ORLEANS-Just as Coach Pepper Rogers has said all along, no offense is more exciting than the wishbone. For example, the Georgia Tech boosters in the partisan crowd of 28,345 fans never stopped cheering Saturday night in the Superdome as the suddenly super Jackets rambled for a net 561 yards and waltzed to a 38-14 victory over over-matched Tulane. While reeling off four straight victories, equalling Rodgers' longest streak at Tech, the Jackets have gained 1.575 yards and Staff Photo Joe Bentoq Staff Photo Joe Be That Kind of a Day: A Pass Intended for Georgia's Jesse Murray 83) Bounces Away Saga of Sanford: Homicide by Pigskin Furman Bisher Sports Editor the finest football players he could attract from Florida to New Jersey, and from California to Pennsylvania, Coach Fran Curci has under command the most awesome number in the Southeastern Conference, and should win the championship, but not the sweet Sugar Bowl award that goes with it There is, you see, an almost-inevitable relationship between sin and success in college football. The former will get you the latter.

Get your players, get investigated, get crowned with probation, all of which happened with Kentucky, which is now serving See FURMAN BISHER-S, Page 9-D ATHENS-A goodly crowd, uncommonly large, had gathered on the railroad Dank at the eastern end of Sanford Stadium, and were jubilantly raucous even as the pregame grace was being said. They had assembled in tingling anticipation of a grand confrontation. And perhaps to view a prince, a real live one with outstanding monarchial connections. It would not be. Oh, the prince showed up on schedule, freshly scrubbed, brightly polished and sartorially proper in grey suit, white shirt and tie.

For a few moments, as bonnie Prince Charles "Chuck," if you're making notes in athletic jargon of England strode the length of the field in the company of red-jacketed President Fred Davison upon his arrival at half-time, those of the Georgia affiliation could blank out their horrific spiritual 'wounds with regal realization. However, even at that time, the score being only 0-10, in the favor of the University of Kentucky, only the most wildly deluded could convince themselves that there was still an issue at hand. There wasn't. In Kentucky this season football is being talked this year. The grand old game of rock and sock has finally achieved equality with horses and basketball in the state of the bluegrass.

"Of course, you can't let the players dictate who will run the team, but at the same time, you have to give them consideration." Earlier, "The Journal published comments from Braves players who wished to remain anonymous but expressed opinions that if Bristol was permitted to return next season, the team attitude would suffer. See BRISTOL, Page 19-D Hawks Open With Win By DARRELL SIMMONS Walt Frazier could buy and sell the entire second team of the Atlanta Hawks. But that didn't count for a thing Saturday night at The Omni.

What did count for Atlanta fans, especially the 7,984 who bought tickets, was the National Basketball Association's lowest-priced team opened its season with a 107-101 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. They couldn't find it for sure in the record books, but no one could remember the Hawks ever winning a home opener in Atlanta before. It was for sure that the crowd was the second-largest for an opening game here, the best since The Omni opened some five seasons back with 13,000 plus in the building. That may sound strange for a team that has drawn little attention in preseason, a team that has suffered through four straight losing seasons. Maybe it was people who just love underdogs who ventured into the stands.

If so, they got more than their money's worth. By GARY CARUSO A lack of player support is on the verge of costing Dave Bristol his job, but the Braves' manager isn't taking his precarious position or his players' criticism idly. "At least half the players on the 25-man roster are real unhappy with Dave," said Al Thornwell, a member of the board of directors. He was responding to a report that the board would meet sometime in the next week and a half to relieve Bristol of his duties after two consecutive last-place finishes. i TED TURNER Watches Hii Hawks SCORES Carto 1 SOUTH College Football Today No.l Smashed It was a high and mighty day for the Minnesota Gophers, who knocked top-ranked Michigan, 16-0.

Flames Unbeaten Streak Ends With 5-2 Loss By ALAN TRUEX Journal-Conitltulion SlaH Writer PITTSBURGH Entering Saturday night's schedule, only three teams were undefeated in the National Hockey League. Now there is one. The Philadelphia Flyers fell in Toronto, and the Atlanta Flames lost here, and now the Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens are the only club without a loss. The Flames lost 5-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins, but Atlanta was not dominated.

The visitors outshot Pittsburgh in the first and third periods, although the Pens led for the game, 34-29. Pittsburgh was coming off an 11-0 debacle in Philadelphia, so there was no way the Penguins were going to give a poor effort here Saturday night i MIDWEST SOUTHWEST FAR WEST BawNnf ClOM SMU 14 Air Fare 1 WvammtT Oman Stat 4 Wllhmaton Stat I Naw Maik Manlan Stat.
