The disappointment hung heavily in the air. Even though the team had been working out since August 8, having two practices a day, each lasting two and one-half hours, they had their share of problems. This year's team was small. It was small in number, consisting of only eight players, and it was small in size, the tallest player being only five-foot-nine. Varsi- ty Coach Putz stated, Volleyball is a strenuous sport, both mentally and physically. I feel this group found that out. Hopefully, this lesson will carry over to next year, and the team will profit from the '83-'84 season. Good form is the foundation for a great serve.
