Four. of seven Capilano
College ‘Blues teams have-
already swung into action in
preparation for. their
respective 9
paigns and there are early
indications that the North
Shore college could equal, if

not surpass, their collective -

performances of last year’s
banner year.

With no team under 500 in
the win/loss column last
season, and the trophies of
two championship teams
safely stashed away in. their
trophy case, the Blues have
firmly established them-
selves as an_ athletic
powerhouse in the Totem
Conference.

How will the Blues fare
this year? According to
College Athletics Director,
Neil - Chester, the recent
success of his teams has
prompted an influx of fine
athletes on the North Shore
campus, but this plus factor
must be tempered by the
knowledge that no team in
the tough Totem Conference
will be regarding the Blues
lightly this season.

With season openers
imminent for four Blues
squads, this is how the
season shapes up:

soccer Blues, will be fielding
a veteran team as coach Joe
Iacobellis has nine players

._returning from last season's

undefeated squad.

Brothers Ken and Terry
Charles are among thé
returning veterans and
should provide a lot of
scoring punch for a team
that figures to be loaded with
offense. Iacobellis is pleased
with his team's progress in
the preseason and believes
the Blues have an excellent
chance of repeating their
championship performance
of a year ago.

Like last year, the Interior
colleges will be very com-
petitive, but the real op-
position still figures to be

provided by B.C.1.T. and
Vancouver Community
College.

Having filed away his fifth

last season, Blues coach Bob
Bagshaw is expressing
cautious optimism in regard

Conference crown. Bagshaw
has a good combination of

B.C.LT. Cougars, who
rolled over everyone last
season with impressive
scores, but who could not
manage a win against the
undefeated Blues, should be
a powerhouse again this year
and will probably provide
the North Shore college with
its stiffest opposition.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL:

Six-footers Theresa Smith
and Cathy Nolan, and. last
year’s team MVP Lea Anne
Stevens, are back in the fold
and should provide a good,
experienced foundation on
which coach Greg Sharpe

can build the 79-80 edition of
the Blues women’s
basketball team.

Forward Sandra Jack, a
Windsor graduate who was
plagued by a knee injury last
year, is also among the
returning veterans and
should give the Blues tough
rebounding inside, providing
her knee can stand up to the
rigors of a long season.
