Game of volleyball, not players, invites injuries
By KEVIN BERTELS Sports Writer
In volleyball, it's not whether you win
or losing, but whether you can play the
next game.
Few sports offer the opportunities for injuries that volleyball does. When six players are crowded into a 30-by 30-foot square and when the nature of the game calls for diving on a hardwood floor or blocking at close range a ball being hit as hard as possible, injuries are almost invited.
But not by KU coach Bob Lockwood and his volleyball team. Though the game may invite injuries, it is also one of the few sports that requires coaching to avoid injuries. Certainly no one can imagine a basketball coach telling his team to slow down so they won't get hurt. By the same token, volleyball coaches ask for aggressiveness but teach techniques for safety.
Take, for example, one of the more obvious actions on a volleyball court that could cause injury—the dive. To the spectator, diving headlong to the floor appears to be the most dangerous move possible.
To the volleyball player, the move has become natural through training and repetition. Tina Wilson, a senior on the team, said yesterday that she had to

After many bruises and floor burns, the proper technique for diving onto a hardwood floor is perfected. But then a ball is hit hard and all the newly learned techniques are flung away and an all-out dive is the only answer. Skin and bones hit the floor at the same time, and both the crowd and the player know it was not proper technique, according to KU team trainer Renea Bulmer.
Knowing how to fall includes keeping the hips and knees on the floor, not always easy or possible, because they protrude further than the rest of the body. It also requires a station. Brushes are the result of dives, and they can be seen on every ball player.
As the trainer, she knows that is not always achieved.
"Every once in a while you hear the screech of skin on the floor, but usually they know how to fall." he said.
"THE IDEA IS for them to start on slow and put most of the weight on their chest and stomach and arch their back into the floor, " Bulmer said.
"Voleball is so much diving or rolling," she said. "If you don't dive right, you cut your chin open. I don't think there is a girl on our team who splits her chin open. Eventually your body begins to adjust to the way to dive."
"They sometimes get burns on their hips," she said. "As far as stomach and chest go, they don't get hurt. But they can hurt bumps bones once in a while."
Most volleyball injuries come from players landing on something besides the flat part of the foot against the flat floor. Whether it is a ball, someone falls down, or someone own foot, chances are good that what goes up won't land where it started.
THE DIVE IS the most obvious on-
line feature, and the most impor-
ious according to Lockwyn.
"Things such as net violations cause injuries, when one girl lands on the foot of a girl on the other side of the net." Lockwood said. "We stress that girls should never go under the net. In practice, there are a lot of balls around. We make it policy that the girls yell 'ball' and not jump until the ball is moved. Those kind of things you can be alert for and do from day-to-day."
its components," she said. "It can be broken down into separate little parts.
more finger injuries in this," Bulmer said. "You've got a girl spiking as hard as she can and you get a finger bent back too far."
But other things can cause injuries. A very common injury in volleyball is the finger sprain; volleyball's version of the jammed finger. The sprain often occurs when girls are blocking spikes at the net. The bangle bends the finger back a

Schroeder, who leads the team in warm-ups, and who helped Lockwood design the warm-up routine, says that they are the most important—they are indispensable.
"CONCERNING INJURIES, it's top of the list." Schroeder said. "Every injury that I can spot, if it isn't a freak accident, happened from not rotating the ankle or the knee or something. I think because of the physical difference, girls need to stretch more than guys."
One particular injury that hinges directly on stretching is tendinitis. The quick action of serving can wear on the shoulder, and often servers develop tendinitis, much like pitchers develop sore shoulders.
*YOU use your shoulder for*
*everything in vce厢壁, LOCKED FOR*
*your use
While serving, volleying and spiking, and in the midst of any number of situations that could cause injury, one should realize that it was easy to develop fear, also.
But from the first referee's whistle to the end of the match, fear must be put in the back of players minds, because volleyball is a game of seconds, and players need to get ready.

I enjoyed your article about Murray Langston, alias the unknown Comic. Could you tell me how to get one of those "centerfold" posters of Murray? I have an empty space on my wall, and I think it's just what I need.
An address and the cost would be most helpful. Thanks.

Too Many Mamas
NO LESS THAN TREE projects based on the life of the late Mamas and Papas sing star Cass Elliot are currently planned. Cass 's sister, Leah Kunek (herself a singer/songwriter on Columbia and legal guardian of Cass' 14-year-old daughter, Owen Vanessa) announced plans for a film to be written by Carl Janss (Janes) Gobble, who will also direct (no title yet). Kunkel she inadvertently simply because 'I want an authorized tasteless book that would not esploit Cass' memory, like The Buddy Holly Story, something that would protect her privacy but also inform. Actually, Kunkel added, "I'd like to see no project done for a long time, but people were coming out of the wall at an alarming rate." Actress Michelle Phillips, once a member of the group with Cass, announced, while a guest on the Morr Griffin Show; that she's working on a screenplay about Cass; about the same time Manas and Papaco co-founder John Phillips (recently in the news write a screenplay budding bus!) said *bw* would write a screenplay, *reportedly* on Cass' life, collaborate with actor-director-writer Tamara Wilcox. It is this Wilcox's plan to which Kunkel objects, passionately, which could lead to a serious collision . . . in court.

"WERE NOT AT LIBERTY to discuss it," say Tom Watt's managerial forces, and also a few of his close friends, but we have it on good authority that the ultimate saloon singer has widened Kathleen Brennan, an employee of 20th Century-Fox Studios. This would explain why Waits made several nervous phone calls to 'Ampsender' before our September cover story hit the presses with the information that he was looking for "A white girl, with bad teeth and big tits." We wish him every happiness.
NEW WAYER JOHN HARTT, will play guitar on the upcoming Ry Cooder album.
R. Hood & K. Arthur
Cooder is best known for re-arranging blues and folk and ethnic music into intriguing mosaics, most recently on the RB-flavored *Bop Till You Drop*. Furthermore, Haiti and his band will tour Europe as Cooder's backup band, a position once held by the Legendary Chicken Shuve Revue. This Is the Way We Make a Broken Heart*, a Haittum album, is scheduled for the next Cooder album, possibly with Rickie Lee Jones
SEAN CONNERY Shelley Duvall, David Warner, John Gleese and Michael Palin (the latter two of Monny Python) will star in *The Time Bandits*, about which we know little except that the film takes place in Robin Hood times, was filmed on location in Morocco (that looks like Sherwood Forest), was written by Pythons Palin and Terry Gilliam (the animator) directed by Gillam, and executive-produced by Dennis O'Brien and George Hawkins (who did the same for *Life of Brian*). Meanwhile, John Gleese started in a BBC version of *The Taming of the Fire*, and executive-produced by Dennis Miller, which we'll re-visit if we're lucky, with Jonathan Hawkins, American TV. The long awaited new Python album, released September 17, is titled *Contractual Obligation Album*, probably because it fulfills the group's commitment to that label. One of the tracks: "Life is Fine When You're 69", and they don't mean age.
GORGE ROMERO, the director who gave us Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead (and featured in the September 7 'Annapresens') has just finished shooting Knightriders (filmed in Pennsylvania, where he was born), a modern-day King Arthur legend on wheels, about a circus troupe in medieval drag that features twelve 'knights' who joust (brutally, no doubt) on motorcycles. By December or January Romero will begin Shoe Doe Doo Be Moon, a science fiction film about a future (say what), after which Romero still has to film two Stephen King works, Grease and The Stand. Then, maybe we'll get
the final installment in Romero's trilogy
The Day of the Dead.
A NIMAL HOUSE and Blues Brothers movie director John Landis, the man of a thousand camera angles, is off to England, there to direct An American Werewolf in London. Landis wrote the script in 1969 when eightteen and a "flunky" on the set of Kelly's Heroes. "It's definitely not a comedy, says a Landis associate, but it happens to be very funny." A Landis re-make of A Comic-Con Yankee in King Arthur's Tower has been filmed. The Mark Twain satire has been filmed. The Will Rogers did both a silent and a talkie version—but, so far, none has ever been faithful to the original. Landis was recently married to his long-time sweetheart Deborah Nadolman, a costume designer.
Hit & Miss
1979's hit film about the bloodhunt, ratchet-jawed people eater hiding in a spacebottle, is semi-officially the first "hit" in the home video market, a segment of show business many observers believe to be worth tremendous bucks in the years to come. The spacebottle macadamie in June, Alien has remained the highest seller ever, since expected to do $2 million by the end of the year. Suggested retail price is a horrifying $55.

WITH NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE, the Jim Morrison biography, high on best sellerselebrates. Elektra/Asluy will repackage seven albums from his most popular music radio songs, due in early October.
YOUNG AND BESTLESS suds stars David Hasselhoff and Wings Hauser, who play the Foster Brothers on the daytime weeper, have formed their own rock group called, yep, the Foster Brothers. Hasselhoff is the singer, Hauser the writer and player of guitar and keyboards (he had an RGA album in 1972 titled Wings Hauser).
