In the late 20s the campus; varsity basketball brought the Almost from the day the doors swung open there were even varsity swimming and tennis (Continued on Page 5) at the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, women's athletics have played an important and active role here. During the first year, 1908-09, athletic organizations were set up as planned by the faculty earlier. There were three basketball teams organized that first year-"Scalpers," "Tip-Top" and "Tomahawkers." There were two tennis clubs-"Racket Tennis Club" and "PinquetTennis Club." The basketball games were played on outdoor courts until Ashby Hall was completed and tennis was played on courts located near where Burruss Hall and the library now stand. The Athletic Association was established during the school's first year, and was responsible for organizing and scheduling all club and inter-group competition. The association, to which both the entire student and faculty bodies belonged, also became responsible for scheduling varsity opponents when varsity programs were later added. In 1912, inter-group hockey was organized, in the form of the "Cherokee" and "Chickasaw" teams. A few years later another team, "Sbenandoah," was added. Class volleyball competition began during these same years. And by 1917, a few golf links had been added to the other outdoor facilities. The demand for a more diverse program and the growth of enrollment have caused the athletic department to move three times since its beginnings in Maury Hall. In 1910, the facilities were moved to Ashby Hall where a gymnasium had been built. In the mid 1920s teams found themselves playing in Walter Reed Hall, with its new indoor pool and larger gymnasium. Reed is now Keezell Hall, and the basketball court is now the offices of the English Department Finally, the Godwin Hall sports complex was completed in 1970 and «£• clubs, teams and classes began meeting and competing there.

(Continued on Page It) However, she believes women are as interested as men and points to tennis as an example. Women now in their 30's and 40's, who never had an opportunity before, are getting involved in the game. Morrison can't explain the phenomenon of why women are becoming more interested in physical activity, but she gives some credit to tennis star Billie Jean King and Olympic gymnast Olga Korbut. Those two have had "more impact than ony other women." Both possess a charisma which sparks the interest of women toward sports, Morrison said. Madison Collge has a women's sports program for those women who want to be involved in a vigorous com- petitive activity, she said, adding that the college provides for this in a variety of ways. Morrison believes that different sports should be supported equally,« because "people love their own sport." Although intramurals provide an opportunity for exercise, the activity is not vigorous or skilled enough to challenge some people, Morrison said. "Everyone needs something challenging, something that allows him to stack himself up against others, so he can gear his living to make himself bet- ter," Morrison said. She pointed out that the college provides opportunities in drama, music and other areas for people whose challenges are not athletic.

BKKK/.K SPORTS SPECIAL. Tuesday. December 7. 1976 Gymnastics: art and sport

By TIM O'LEARY Several years ago, Hayes Kruger came here from Mt. Vernon, New York, to start a gym- nastics team. The team of five practiced in old Keezell gym, which they could use only from 10 p.m. to midnight. Hayes Kruger built the Madison College men's and women's gymnastics teams from nothing. Now, Madison boasts one of the strongest women's teams in the state and the program has blossomed. The combined teams got their first real test of the year last Friday night in a practice meet with Virginia Tech. "The women, on paper, should be the best team in the state," said Kruger. "But we have to prove that. The potential is there, but whether we realize that or not this year is questionable. The competition has gotten so much better." "The men have yet to win a meet in eight tries," he added, "but we think they may get one this year." Kruger's philosophy goes well with a sport whose very nature defies the "win at all costs" attitude. "It is an individual effort," he said.

*■:; >** .. IN Unsung swimmers stroke for personal goals Little glory even in victory

By BECKY FURBISH They are powerful and energetic, with broad shoulders and chlorine-bleached hair. They are the Madison College men's swimming team. These men are determined, self-disciplined, and able to withstand physical punishment. For more than two hours a day the swimmers see only the bottom of the pool, smell only chlorine, and feel only the water engulfing their bodies. ~ "It's you and you alone," said swimmer Rick Sulzer. "Swimming is an isolated sport." Each swimmer is on his own. He must decide for himself whether he wants to swim three or four miles a day, sometimes at 6:30 in the morning. He must decide if he will swim until he feels ill, and his muscles are cramped. And he must be willing to come back for more. Watching the swimmers practice, one wonders what motivates them to swim length after length of the 25-yard pool. "I've been swimming competitively for nine years," said Dave Hardwick. "In high school we could swim for the medals and ribbons, but in college there's no outside source of motivation." . "I guess I just swim for personal satisfaction," Hardwick said. "We're swimming Division I now so it's getting very prestigious." Most swimmers are motivated by a desire to win. "I swim because I can doit," said Sulzer. "I guess the only real reason for swimming is to win. I'd say it was for the glory, but there really isn't any." Hardwick agrees with Sulzer that the team gets very little glory. "Our morale would be better if we got more publicity and support," Hardwick said. "Nobody knows about the team," said Sulzer. L Even though the team gets little recognition, the swimmers keep on swimming. For them swimming is a way of life. Astroturf statistics support varied views

Page 26. BREEZE SPORTS SPECIAL, Tuesday. December 7.1976 Finding reality on an eighty-five foot rock By MARK DAVISON We rose early on a Sunday morning in early October. The sun was just coming over the mountains, and it was evident a sunny day was in store for my first attempt at rock climbing. Our climbing party was small, consisting of Madison College students Frank "Flash" Gordon, Roy Chaudet, and myself. Flash has climbed "seriously" for eight years. \Roy, his student, has climbed four times. Flash was integrating his skills to blend with Roy's potential as a climber. I, the greenhorn, was ready. For breakfast, that is. We ate a good meal, gathered needed equipment and nit the cold morning air with a quiet enthusiasm. Chimney Rock, our destination, was steep It shot from the ground, an 85-foot sheer grey slab. "It's the backbone of the mountain. It's what gives a mountain strength," said Flash. It looked strong! My thoughts went back to what Dr. Rex Fuller, an experienced rock climber had told me. "Rock climbing is non-competitive, not against yourself, or against nature. In fact, you are enhancing the cooperation between yourself and what the rock has to offer in order to make the climb." If this slab of grey Mother Nature wanted my cooperation, I was more than willing. We got the equipment ready for our climb. Seats were made of webbing wrapped in a certain way around the hips, legs and buttocks to afford comfort and security. This "seat" is attached to a metal ring, which attaches to various ropes needed to provide a margin of safety during different climbing phases. \ Flash loaded the equipment on his body to climb the back of the cliff and set a top rope. Top roping is a means of catching a fall, and always used by Flash when teaching someone to climb. At the top, anchors are set in the rock. Ropes are set to the anchors and attached to the back of a climber at the top of the climb. A rope is then dropped to the bottom of the climb rock where it is attached to the fro n t of the climber. A special knot is used that must be tied correctly, or it spells DOOM, if you happen to fall. The climber attached to the top of the climb is the belayer. As you climb, his "working hand" keeps slack out of the line. The rope goes around his waist to the "belay hand" Should a climber fall, the belayer simply pulls the belay hand across his body. The friction of the rope around the Delayer's body is enough to catch the fall. It does not take strength, just proper technique. As Flash was setting the top-rope, Roy helped me polish my knot tying. Anticipation of the climb had me by the seat of the pants, but I was confident. Roy's praise for Flash as a climber and teacher was great. "He lets me handle things, because he knows I can," said Roy. "But he is always testing me. Each time I go rock climbing I learn an incredible amount." It was time to learn communication techniques between the belayer and climber. Roy told me it was important that the climber and belayer have a clear understanding through their verbal symbols, as many times The loose rope at Roy's feet slowly disap- thing." I remembered Fuller telling me. they don't see each other throughout much of peared as Flash pulled the slack. I thought back to another thing Fuller had the climb. "Climbing?" said. Rock climbing brings out an attitude "Rope" is the Delayer's signal that he is "Climb away." about yourself and nature-respect. "You can't throwing a rope down. The climber ties into Roy was ready. Flash was ready. The cooperate with something you don't respect" the top-rope and says, "On belay?" asking the mountain was ready. •rOn belay?" I yelled: belayer if he is ready to begin. "A climb is completed when three elements Roy, my belayer, yelled back, "On belay." ''Belay on." The belayer is ready. interact, two climbers and the rock," said "Up rope." There goes the slack. I looked "Up rope" is given by the climber to tell the Fuller. "It's important to realize that it's not at the face of rock and said to myself, "I'm Delayer there is slack in the rope and he would us, the climber, against the rock.
