CAMPUS UPDATE, November 21, 1979, Page 3 Attitude vital to winning team Ken Lechtanski, Sports Editor Can the Lumberjacks duplicate last year’s tremendous basketball season? That is the big question that fans are asking as ACC opens its men’s basketball schedule for 1979-80. Last year the Lumberjacks fin- ished with a 21-9 record and were runners-up in Region XII competi- tion, the highest that an ACC men’s basketball team had ever finished. Now comes the unenviable task for this year’s team to try and repeat the success. Head coach Steve Schray thinks they cari, The potential is is there to have that kind of team.” According to Schray, the key to last year’s team was the players‘ attitudes. ‘‘Last year we had a super attitude.’’. He says that it is import- ant for the players to feel close to- wards one another in order for them to really work as a team and win. Besides the attitude, Schray said that he feels that this year’s team is actually better in some areas than last year's. The team has better depth in coming off the bench this” season with a more balanced attack. The defense is also presently ahead of last year's pace at this time. The Lumberjacks will continue As the snow begins to fall and the winter gear is brought out of storage, the ACC Intramural sports program opens its floor hockey sea- Scour teams will compete in the program; Dorm 2, The Norsemen. Team 6, and The Fearsome Farmers. They will play each other every Mon- day evening at 7:45 and 8:45 in the East Campus gymnasium. The sea- son will last six weeks where each team will play the others twice. 2 Following are the rosters of the four teams. Dorm 2-Captain: Tim Roeske.

The Fearsome Farmers- Captain: » Mike Eagling. Members; Doug At- chison, Steve Kanaski, Joe Kline, Ken Leask, Harold Manning, Dean to run the ball up and down the court in what Schray calls a person- al trademark of his coaching style of “pressure basketball”. Schray plans to take advantage of the quick speed on the team by running the fast breaks, using the full court press, and going with the quick re- bounds. The Lumberjacks will have four sophomores returning from last year, They are Dale Beard, Jeff Cottrell, John Crooks, -and Mark DeSmet. Schray feels that these four players will have to carry the team early in the season until the rest of the play- ers learn each other better and how to plan together. He adds that a good start is important this year be- cause of the tougher going. Besides the long trips that the Lumberjacks must always take to compete, this years schedule is con- sidered tougher than before. Those teams that are expected to really test the “Jacks” include Lorrain, Oakland, Jackson, and the MSU JV’s. You can also believe that each team on ACC's schedule: will re- member their season last year and they will be pointing out Alpena and will play a little bit harder. ‘McConnell, and Now a look at the opening weel of play. Fearsome Farmers, 5; Dorm 2, 3. Dorm 2 started off on the wrong foot as they scored into their own net to open the first period at 1-0. "They came back as Marge Kroll tied the game on her first goal.
