Two-time winner. Ann Papi receives the George llg Award from
Dr. Peter Simis at yesterday's Scholar-Athlete Luncheon.

Sports Writers
In an era where more attention
is given to the student-athlete that
performs well on the field rather
than the one who performs well in
the classroom, yesterday afternoon
the latter received its due.
One hundred forty-six student-
athletes, their coaches, athletic per¬
sonnel and campus officials gath¬
ered at tbe Residence Dinning Hall
for the annual Scholar-Athlete lun¬
cheon given by the Fresno State
Athletic Department.
Pat Ogle, Executive Director of
the Bulldog Foundation, headed the
ceremonies which featured the pre¬
sentation of six awards and the rec¬
ognition of all student-athletes in
attendance.
University President John D.
Welty spoke after Ogle.
"Very little attention is paid to
athletes who sacrifice as much as
all of you do," Welty said. "The
sacrifices that you [as athletes]
made to be here today are truly
extrordinary.
Dr. Peter Simis, Fresno State's
Faculty Athletic Representative,
followed Welty with the presenta¬
tion of three of the six awards.
The Faculty Athletic Represen¬
tative Award was given to five stu¬
dent-athletes who have a cumula¬
tive G.P.A. of 3.5, have lettered in
their respective sport two of the last
three years and completed their ath¬
letic eligibility.

member), Clarie Boykin (Mass
communication/advertising—
women's track), Jake Bragonier
(Mass communication/broadcast¬
ing—men's tennis), Ryan Juinio
(Business finance—men's tennis)
and Ann Papi (Liberal studies—
women's tennis) all were honored
with the award.
Papi was also honored with the
George llg Memorial Award, along
with Brandon Bakke (Social Sci¬
ence—men's basketball). The
award was given to a graduating
senior for academic and athletic
achievement and service to commu¬
nity.
Barrington was also nominated
for another award. He and Staci
Oddo (Business/Marketing—
women's basketball) were selected
as Stan Bates Nominees.
Three other student-athletes
were singled out during the indi¬
vidual awards.
The Harold Haak Scholarship
Award went to Danielle Nelson
(Psychology—women's track).
Bryan Judice (baseball) recieved
the Bulldog Foundation Award,
given to an outstanding student-ath¬
lete from the Sid Craig School of
Business. Jason Durocher (trainer)
was awarded the Dr. Thomas
Thaxter Memorial Scholarship for
distinguished commitment to the
field of Sports Medicine.
Oddo may have summed up the
feelings of all the student-athletes
at the event when she said, "It was
a real honor to be nominated for the
awards. It gives me a chance to feel
like hard work and effort in the
classroom is paid off. You're al¬
ways getting recognized being an
athlete, but it's good to know that
people can see that you're working
hard academically as well."

Continued from page 10.
Smitty's full beer, Smitty is any¬
thing but alarmed. "Hey Sugar
Bear," Smitty shouts, "look at what
my kid did." Sugar Bear, noticing
the flowing yellow stream of bar¬
ley and hops, laughs back, "Well,
while you go get another brew,
bring me one too."
About midway through the
game Sunday versus Cal State
Northridge, the Matador manager
approaches the mound to talk with
his struggling hurler. Everyone
turns to Sugar Bear, awaiting his
lead. Sugar Bear leap up, draws a
large grin on his mug, and shouts
"Whaddya going to do Skip7' Then
he leads half the crowd yelling
"Take him out!" The other half
roars back "Leave him in!" Over
and over this goes until the hapless
manager walks off the field, look¬
ing up at Section M and shaking his
head while exiting to the dugout
When Bulldog slugger Giuseppe
Chiramonte. he of the Italian de¬
scent, strides up to the plate, Sugar
Bear rises again. He starts rattling
off some Italian song, and like you
see in the pizza commercials, ends
it with "la la la la-la...Hey!"
At the end of the contest, with
the Bulldogs in front comfortably,
SugafEear and company get it go¬
ing one final time. "Hey you bums,"
they shout at the struggling Mata¬
dors, "warm up the bus." "This
one's over."
Yes, maybe a few elder sports-
writers from a well-known news¬
paper in this town should step out
of the press box and all of its stuffi¬
ness. Stop scribbling down every¬
thing about ERA's, batting aver¬
ages, home runs, whatever. Sit in
Section M and remember what it
means to be a true baseball fan. A
Bulldog fan. Sit down, relax, heck
maybe even reach for a cold one. It
may'not be pro ball by name, but
the fans rate an A in my book.

back hard in the top of the third
against freshman starter Mark
Parantala and then reliever Randy
Goodrich.
After Parantala gave up a two-
run home run to Ross Parmenter
Goodrich came in to relief. He
promptly hit catcher Paul
Chiaffredo with a pitch and then
gave up a two run double to
centerfielder Bill Mott. Two batters
latter, Keith Frankel hit a two run
homer.
Behind a great performance
from reliever Adam Pettyjohn (1-
1), the Bulldogs chipped away. In
the seventh, Kaitfors brought the
'Dogs within three with his second
homer, of the night.
"The second one was a little bit
of luck because I was swinging to
protect the plate." Kaitfors said.
In the bottom of the ninth
McDonald walked Kaitfors and
Feramisco. Then first baseman Pete
Hennecke rocked a two^fun double
deep off the centerfield wall to tie
the game.
Giuseppe Chiaramonte, who
batted two for four with an RBI,
was intentionally walked to bring
up Roberts, who came in for Joe
Pearse in the sixth innfhgr"^
