Greg Heakes photo Tuesday, December 9, 1980. All this record setting rain we’ve been having through the month of November has given some Douglas College sport teams an earlier semester break. Last weekend the soccer didn’t get to play their final game of the season because all the fields have been shut down. Since they missed the playoffs it was a mean nothing game anyway. It’s too late to re-schedual it because the Totem playoffs get underway this weekend. Both the division three Rugby game against Pitt River and the women’s field hockey team were washed out also. eeeee by GREG HEAKES Richmonds Second: Annual Buck Buck intramural basket- ball tournament, November 22, was deemed a success by organizer Bill Long. The tournament featured four teams from Richmond, three from New Westminster and one from Coquitlam. There were supposed to be ten teams but two teams from Coquitlam and Surrey’s team did not show up. The tournament featured such outlandish team names as J.V. Cruex (in reference of course to jook itch!), the B.A.’s and the Bearded Clams who derived their slang name from a portion of the female anatomy. The Clams went underfeated during the tournament as they won the final contest from another Richmond team called the Marlins (now what could that mean?) Our men’s volleyball team, started this week, will have the pleasure of performing in the BC Volleyball Association Senior A league. Not only will the league provide them with some good stiff completition between tournaments but it will also ‘keep them very active during the semester break playing from one to two games a week. They open this week playing the Vancouver Volleyball Club December 2 and the UBC Jr. varsity squad on December 4. The league should feature as many as 12 teams. loss of Brent Sheppard. Sheppard was ruled ineligible to play after it was discovered that he was only taking eight credits at the college He will be missed as coach John Lussier described him by GREG HEAKES The Douglas College bas- etball team learned two hings November 30 at the inslow gym. One is that hey need bigger players nd two is that they need more experience. The lesson came during a 78-67 exhibition loss to the Dance City Dukes of the Fraser Valley Senior B lea- Bue. Height and experience lacking Dukes dance past Douglas “They were a lot, bigger than us and had more exper- ience,’’ said Douglas coach Dan Moore. “‘Our preseason hasn't been that great be- cause we've only had three exhibition games so far.”’ Moore did commend the job done by 6’5’’ centre Warren Meneghello, who had to check 6°10”’ former Portland State play- er, Bob Dudley. Dudley led the scoring with 24 points. Meneghello racked up a Douglas high of 14 points, while Prince Rupert native, and first year journalism student, Rod McNish finish- ed with 12 points. Due to an ankle injury, Meneghello has been listed as a doubtful starter for Douglas’ first league game December 5 against Royal Roads military college. A definite non-starter for the game will be Denis Milne, who due to ineligibil- ity requirements is only al- lowed to suit up for exhibi- tion games this semester. as one of the teams most improved players. eecce An intra-mural badminton tournament was conducted at the Winslow campus on Novemeber 13 and 20. Denni Infanti and Steve Ladd came first, while Lynn Hughes and Jeff Mussom finished second. Third went to John Slattery and Jeanette Miller and Earl Naismith and Mae Burrows placed fourth. The presence of a gymnasium has done a lot to promote both organized and unorganized recreation on the Winslow campus. This in turn is helping to promote much social interaction amongst students from different diciplines. Instead of spending their time during the school day sitting in the cafeteria, students are using the gym for a variety of activities.

This was the first year back for the team after a two year abscence.
