RSPT0722OD9 COLLEGES Evans shifts more jobs By CHIP TOWERS Athens The moving and shaking continues in athletics department.

New athletics director Damon Evans, who dismissed six employees last week including four longtime members of the senior staff announced one hire and several promotions and Wednesday. Dave Muia, former director of alumni relations, was appointed acting associate athletics director for external operations. He effectively replaces both Kit Tren- sch, former associate athletics director for fund-raising, and Avery McLean, former senior associate athletics director for promotions and marketing. excited to have Dave Muia on said Evans, in Washington on business Wednesday. believe one of the most outstanding UGA people out there.

His knowledge and people skills will be perfectly suited for that Also, former assistant athletics director Craig White was promoted to associate athletics director for sports and operations. Tim Cearley was named interim director of tickets. Some longtime senior staffers under former athletics director Vince Dooley had their duties redefined. Claude Felton, who was senior associate athletics director for external affairs, is now associate athletics director for sports communication; Glada Horvat, who was associate athletics director for student services and the senior woman administrator, is assistant athletics director for eligibility. Susan Lahey and Robert Miles are no longer assistant athletics directors.

Asked if the changes were demotions, Evans said, not. This had nothing to do with poor performance or anything like he said. just title changes, part of the new structure trying to put in place. No one is losing any salary or More changes are expected. Carla Williams, who played basketball for Georgia as Carla Green in the late 1980s and also was an assistant coach for the Bulldogs for five seasons, interviewed earlier this week for the position of senior woman administrator.

She is an associate athletics director at Vanderbilt. A week after firing some athletics staff, Georgia athletics director Damon Evans made more staff changes. Dogs punter suspended for opener Athens starting punter has been suspended for one game, coach Mark Richt confirmed Wednesday. Gordon Ely-Kelso, a sophomore from Athens, will sit out the season opener against Georgia Southern at Sanford Stadium on Sept. 4.

Richt declined to say why he suspended Ely-Kelso other than for breaking an unspecified team rule. Ely-Kelso averaged 39.0 yards on 66 punts as a freshman last season. He is expected to be replaced by junior walk-on Lee Jackson, who is also the holder for field goals and extra points. Jackson has never played in a game.

The team Wednesday granted request and released the all-time leading rusher a move forced by salary cap pressures and perhaps declining skills. The eight-year veteran, who turns 31 in September, rejected the latest offer and asked for his release Monday so he would have time to catch on with another team before training camps open next week. The Titans wanted George back, but at a reduced salary. The final offer was $1.5 million in base salary considerably less than the $4.25 million he expected to make this season. TENNIS Serena advances Serena Williams defeated Eleni Daniilidou 6-1, 7-6 (7-3) at the JPMorgan Chase Open in Carson, in her first match since losing the Wimbledon final.

Williams was upset 2 1 2 weeks ago by Maria Sharapova at the All England Club, where she was seeking her third consecutive Wimbledon title. SOCCER Brazil gains Copa final Brazil reached the final of the Copa America for the first time since 1999, beating Uruguay 5-3 on penalty kicks following a 1-1 tie in Lima, Peru. Brazil advanced to South American championship game against Argentina, which beat Colombia 3-0 Tuesday. Mia Hamm scored her 150th career goal and the U.S. national team beat Australia 3-1 in a pre- Olympic warmup in Blaine, Minn.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Gator linebacker jailed Florida linebacker Taurean Charles remained in jail, a day after he was arrested and charged with aggravated battery during a June off-campus party, a second-degree felony. Florida athletics director Jeremy Foley immediately suspended the 19-year-old Charles from the team, saying his status would be determined we gather more On Tuesday, Florida suspended former North Springs linebacker Channing Crowder and safety Jarvis Herring for one game for scuffling with police outside a Gainesville nightclub. BOXING Laila Ali to defend title Laila Ali will defend her WIBA heavyweight title on the undercard of Mike Tyson bout July 31 against Danny Williams Muhammad Ali daughter (17-0) will be challenged by Monica Nunez (9-1) of the Dominican Republic in a 10-round bout at Freedom Hall in Louisville. MORE PRO FOOTBALL Bills sign Gildon The Buffalo Bills signed free agent linebacker Jason Gildon to a one-year deal. The Kansas City Chiefs signed second-round draft pick Junior Siavii to a six-year contract.

Continued from D1 they are burning the crops, tearing up the rails, destroying any means of resistance that might have remained from the ugly little skirmish between the egghead and the icon. At least, how it appears looking from the outside in. Secondly, given the current atmosphere right now, if you value your season-ticket allotment and your long association with the Bulldogs, it might be wise to disavow any knowledge of that former national championship winning coach, whatever his name was. A signed statement to the effect that Jan Kemp was right hurt your standing either. Seemingly anyone who ever so much as knocked on door has been rushed out of the Butts-Mehre Building like they were lepers in Florida Gator visors.

Four top- level administrators with a total of 76 years with Dooley were swept from the premises, and a couple others had their titles sanitized. The casual fan of Georgia football will scarcely notice because the two most important men in the department were untouched Mark Richt and Larry Munson (not necessarily in that order). Once the first football practice is called to sweaty order, it really matter to most who emerges as the senior athletics director in charge of looking busy. But the fan of palace intrigue help but be fascinated. The motives for the moves this week are open to interpretation, but the practical impact is undeniable.

Those who control the lifeblood of the athletics department tickets, promotions, spin have been ousted or redefined. Any bridges between new office and his old one were dynamited within two weeks of his departure. No doubt, the new ones will be built to specifications. And whatever mark Evans leaves in his tenure as athletics director, he forever will be answering to the impression created his first 20 days on the job. There always will follow him the muttering of old loyalists, that he is only the handyman.

The kicker here: So what? Face it, Adams is the boss, a very formidable one. And, generally, if not the guy, your next appointment is at the state unemployment office. Adams knows what any good tycoon knows. He obviously has grasped how to gain and then consolidate power. Part of that is getting your own management in place.

As for the old, well, just get them out before they can take any of the staplers. the remorseless norm in big business, and who could still claim that college football that? If a leaner, meaner athletics department is created in the process, then glory be. Whether Adams wants to take credit for this episode or not, he still is the model CEO survivor. Rather than try to remove him from the affairs of the athletics department, encourage him to get even closer. Like right in front of the football team before this promising season opens, lecturing on the finer points of crushing an opponent.
