Chinese return to Mac Court

Glancing over the Oregon
women’s volleyball schedule
for the month of October one
sees Oregon State, San Jose
State, Santa Clara, Fresno State,
Cal State-Bakersfield, the Peo
ple’s Republic of China. . .wait
a minute...How did a team
from the People’s Republic of
China slip into the schedule?
Ask Mike Shen, if you can
locate him. He’s somewhat of a
mystery figure that not even the
University’s razor-sharp sports
information staff can get much
of a handle on.
All anyone seems to know is
that Shen is a University
graduate, now living
somewhere in British Colum
bia. He’s a sports fan who went
out of his way to arrange a visit
to Eugene by a Chinese
volleyball team as part of a West
Coast tour which includes stops
at California, Portland State,
and Washington, among others.
And there is also a plan in the
works for the Duck volleyball
team to take a tour of their own
into China a couple of years
down the road.
The Sunday contest at McAr
thur Court promises to be much
more than just a volleyball
game. The evening's activities
seem to resemble an interna
tional celebration.
It might appear to be, at first
look, a microcosmic replay of
the Olympics. There will be
players from each team mar
ching into McArthur Court,
bearing the flag of their respec
tive country. Bands will play
each team’s national anthem.
The team captains will meet at
center court and exchange team
gifts while individual players
follow with a trade of in
dividual gifts. International
protocol will be the order of the
day.
It will be reminiscent of the
Olympics — up to a point. It's
anticipated that the outcome of
the featured sports event follow
ing all the ceremony will not
very likely resemble the over
whelming American victories of
the ‘84 Olympics — because
this Chinese team will be tough.
With a capital ’T\
“This is a Chinese junior
team," says Voelz. “They could
be as good as most country’s na
tional teams. Everything about
them is very quick, high
intensity.”
Chris Voelz, women’s
volleyball coach, summed up
the abilities of the Chinese
players: “Awesome. Volleyball
is the national sport over there.
They’ve literally got millions of
athletes to choose between to
make up their team.” Need
more be said?
