QS tn A ES ee eee oe aE Seago. Sept. 18, 1980 Tradition holds for volleyball by Greg Heakes Douglas . College men’s volleyball team is having the traditional problem of recruiting players for the upcoming season. With a couple of practices under their belt, coach John Lussier told The Other Press, ‘‘anyone who wants to come out will be registered and has a good chance of being one of the 12 players who dress for each tournament.’’ Although the volleyball team is not the only team New nucleus in basketball by Greg Heakes Douglas College men’s basketball team has an old coach returning to take on a new set of duties. Last year Dan Moore filled the role of assistant coach for Bill Long. This year he will head the show conducting what he de- scribed as a running fast break offence. With practices just get- ting underway this week Moore says he has four returning players and at least one starter back. Last season they finished with three wins, seven losses, and sixth place in an eight team league. “In the past we’ve lack- ed the height, just didn’t have two big men. This is going to be a rebuilding season for us so I hope we can get a good strong nucleus of young players,’’ explained Moore. Douglas will play in the Totem Conference which features teams from Van- couver City College, B.C.1.T.,Capilano College and Victoria’s Royal Roads. Moore’s playing days in- cluded two trips to the B.C. High School Cham- pionship in 1973 and 1974, where as a member of the North Surrey team they placed twelfth and fifth respectively. Although Moore is not a teacher on campus he was brought in three years ago to help with the girl’s basketball team. After graduating he began his studies in education and eventually hopes to _ be- come a physical education teacher. Practices are held Mon- days and Wednesdays 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. at Coquitlam Campus and Tuesdays 5:00 - 6:30 at the Arenex in Queens Park. “It’s a very nerve rack- ing job, but I’m learning all the time.’’ added Moore. lacking players, they are one of the hardest hit. Lussier feels part of the problem is the multi- campus structure and hopes that the permanent campus will provide the sport teams with a more stable lineup. Last year, while compiling a 16 - 16 record, they just missed the playoffs finish- ing third in the coastal division. They have three returning players back from last year, including their two The Other Press top performers. The basis of the team will be built around their key hitters, Warren Scheelar, and blocker, Wally Funk. The other returnee is Wayne Radomske. ‘“We were lacking exper- ience because we had four or five players that had never played on an organ- ized team before,’’ expl- ained Lussier. The new league format is set up so that the two.top teams from the Coastal and Interior divisions meet in the playoffs. The winners are decided on the basis of tournament play during the season. “If we can get enough players out this year I think the team can win the Totem conference or at least come in the top two.”’ said Lussier who also men- tioned that the competition won't be as strong as last year. At 21, Lussier is the youngest coach in the Douglas sports circle. He got the job after applying Page seven for it at the beginning of last season, prior to that he played on the team for two years. He is a fourth year Psycology student at Simon Fraser. Anyone interested in playing for the volleyball team can contact John Lussier at 438-9944. The team practices from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays, at the Queens Park Annex, and 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays at St. Francis Desalles, in Burnaby.
