Cougars place 5th in tourney
by Staci Beard
Sports Editor
In preparation for the second
half of the season the women’s
volleyball team competed in the
Green River Crossover tourna­
ment last weekend.
“This wasn’t a league tourna­
ment we went over to see what we
could do,” explained Coach Kathie
Woods.
Friday’s pool play didn’t prove
too successful. Their first loss was
against Big Bend, 9-15, 14-16.
Following that was another loss
to Olympic 10-15,6-15. The day
ended with a final loss to Green
River 7-15,8-15.
They finished fourth in pool
play. So when Saturday’s compe­
tition opened up they had to play
the first seed in the other pool.
“OnFriday wejustdidn’t play
well at all. Wedidbetteron Satur­
day,” commented Woods.
They again suffered another
loss this time to Chemekata 7-15,
12-15.
This loss forced the Cougars
into the losers bracket These
matches were played with one game
which the winner of stayed in the
tournament
They then came up with their
first victory against Grays Harbor
17-15 in a tight game.
Clackamas finished off the day
with a loss to Green River 13-15.
The Cougars finished fifth out
of eight teams.
During the tournament the
team was without their two lead­
ing hitters. Casie Harker who is
out until at least Wednesday with
a foot injury. Tara White was also
gone due to the flu.
“I don’t want to use that as an
excuse because the team filled in
real well Tisha Chevron took over
Casie’s position and I was really
happy with her effort Chris Nylen
also did an excellent job of hitting
the ball hard and down,” explained
Woods.
The team had wanted to work
on areas that were seen as a little
weak before the break in the sea­
son.
“We have been working on
our passing ;it is getting better but
we are still a little inconsistent
We also have to learn to eliminate
those unforced errors so we can
win some more our matches,”
stated Woods.
The Cougars are looking for­
ward to the second half of league
action which starts tonight at Mt
Hood, at 7 p.m.
Cross country teams prepare for state
Men’s Cross Country took the
first four places at the Mt. Hood
Invitational last Saturday.
The men finished within two
seconds of each other Saturday to
take first place at the meet held at
Blue Lake Park. Gene Brander-
horst camö in first with 28.13
minutes followed by Tim Beardall
and Dusty Moore with 28.14 and
Nick Barger with 28.15 minutes.
As for the women, they ran
without a complete team due to
injury and illness. Angie Wright
took third place overall, beating
some of the athletes she had pre­
viously lost to this season.
Although the runners scored
high, personal records were not
broken due to the condition of the
course. “It was a very soft, danger­
ous course which made it impos­
sible to run fast times,” remarked
coach Mike Hodges.
Hie team will not be running
in a meet this Saturday due to the
fact that they are taking a week­
end off to train for the state meet
on Saturday Oct 28.

Rugby club formed,
ready to get started
by Brenda Hodgen
Staff Writer
No football?
Play rugby.
Petef ~ York and John
Chapman are looking to add some
excitement to the campus by start­
ing a rugby club. York and
Chapman are both members of a
Portland team called the Jesters.
Although the team’s first
practice was held just last night,
there are still several opportuni­
ties to join with practice both
tonight and tomorrow at 4 p.m.
on the football field.
In order to maintain a team,
York and Chapman need play­
ers. About 40 members are needed
for a solid team.
“We need people and com­
mitment,” said York. “Recruit­
ing members is going to be the
toughest part, but once a person
gets started playingrugby, they’ll
never stop.”
Considered a club, rather
than a school funded team, rugby
is open to public participation.
Anyone is welcome to join, even
women.
“We want both men and
women, to help in practice, or
even just for support,” said York.
“Size doesn’t matter, the best
rugby players are usually wres­
tlers or soccer players, not foot­
ball players.”
The league season begins
soon, but York is focusing on
practice for a few weeks.
“I’m not planning any games
for about three weeks, which will
drop us down in league stand­
ings,” he said, “but I’ve seen some
of the other collegiate teams play,
and with the athletes that have
turned out so far, I think we will
have the ability to beat most of
them.”
Rugby is played with a ball
very similar to the American foot­
ball, and the players do not wear
pads. It is somewhat of a cross
between soccer and football.
Rugby came from soccer, and
footbalk«ame from rugby.
According to Chapman,
“Rugby is a skillful game with
tactics, while football is a tactful
game with skill.”
