Confusion In the shadows caused Jammers' absence By. Brenda esko Daily stall writer The San Jose Jammers had to pull out of a Rec Center exhibition game last weekend because of a misunder- standing with grand opening orga- ni-iers over the availability of players for the event. The Jammers. a Continental Fias- ketball Association expansion team owned by Assemblyman Dominic Cortese, D-San Jose, were slated to play a three-on -three exhibition be- tween rnx)n and 5 p.m. Saturday as part of the center's official opening. But the team never showed up. The CFIA season ha% not started yet. and not enough players were signed up for the team to provide six player% for the exhibition. according to Jammers' head coach Cory Rus- sell. "We only have a handful of play- er% signed. We made an effort up until the last minute." Russell said. The Janimers were billed as one of the sponsors of the Student Union Recreation and Events Center open- ing and made a S1,000 contribution to help fund the festivities. said Judy Hemiann.
