Camouflaged figures hide behind trees, lay in ditches and run uphill into a hail of paint, all in the name of fun. About five minutes from campus, Point Blank Paintball, operated by Rudy Dean, a Virginia Tech graduate, hosts games for paintball teams, tak- ing bom reservations and walk-ons. One Sunday in September, five JMU students, decked out in camou- flage and dark clothes, along with a number of walk-ons from Harrisonburg High School and Blue Ridge Community College participat- ed in paintball games. "This was on my list of things to do before I graduate," senior psychol- ogy major Jay Morrison said. Senior Ashlea Philipps said she was playing "for fun."

He goes over the basic game of Elimination: shoot at the other play- ers. When a player's "killed (hit)," yell that you're hit so the shooter stops firing and you can leave the field. The surviving team wins. "If the paintball doesn't break, you're still alive," he said. The paintball guns are powered by Co2 cartridges. Passing out the small, lime-colored paintballs to some of the players, Bowman explains that over-filling the gun's ammunition reservoir can clog and paintballs can explode, rendering the gun unusable. Other players use various colors so they can later identi- fy their kills.

The referees talk with each team and instruct players not wearing their face masks to put mem on, a constant rule of the paintball field. Also, safety plugs in the paint gun barrels, to pre- vent accidental firing, are removed only on the playing field. The field is a roped-off, wooded spot about the size (though not quite the dimensions), of a football field. Most debris and brush have been removed from the play area, with a few man-made bunkers scattered throughout, including a tan, mesh net and a stack of ammunition boxes. Bowman stands in the middle of the field, and counts down from three. At "go," the teams break from their assigned starting points and dash for cover.

And no, "Stone Cold" was not in the building. Coach David Lombardo com- mented that "it started escalating to where they started whacking each other, and that should never happen." The Dukes entered Tuesday night's game* with a 7-3-1 record while the 24th ranked Terrapins were 8-4. When 90 minutes expired on the game clock, the Terrapins were on the winning end of a 1-0 verdict in this physi- cally brutal match. The most telling statistic was the foul total, with the Terrapins committing 16 fouls and the Dukes 23. Surprisingly, only one yellow card was issued the entire game, to Maryland forward Keri Sarver 29:49 into the game.

The crowd is raucous as JMU's Tara Nappi receives the ball. Careening down the field, she dekes her defender and the goalkeeper, feeding the ball in front for a teammate who slams it home. Nappi is once again the hero for the Dukes. As the crowd cheers on their team and praises the girl who once again has come through, Nappi shows the humil- ity that sports have been lacking for so long. "It was a great team win," she says.
