Canadians finish
top-12 in Japan

TOKYO — While Yugos-
lavia and Italy met in the
final of the World Vol-
leybal] Championships on
Sunday, Nov. 29 Japan and
Canada tried to avoid finish-
ing last among the 12 teams
that made the journcy to the
Japanese capilal.

Buta tired Canadian team
continued to slide, falling in
three sets (15-7, 15-10, 15-
6) to Argentina, who Cana-
da had beaten earlier in the
three week-long tourna-
ment,

Canada dropped four of its
five matches since upsetting
Spain on Nov, 22. Its over-
all record was just 4-8.

Canada went in with much
the same cast as in prevjous

Coach Pischke tried to put
a positive spin on Canada ‘s
disappointing finish at the
championships. He says we

matches, the exception
being Terry Martin, who
made frequent appearances
the final two sets. Coach
Garth Pischke said the team
had no choice but to go with
the same lineup every time.

“7 don’t think we have the
depth of some of the other
teams here,’’ he said, '‘So,
we had to go with our start-
ing six.”

Martin did impress during
his limited playing time,
registering six kills and
three blocks. Captain Jason
Haldane, originally from
Terrace, was the team leader
with 16 kills.

Martin looked to be enjoy-
ing himself, too, ““When
you get some game time,
you've got to bring some
emotion off the bench,’* he
explained. ‘‘It’s a game, you

wins over Argentina and

Spain, which had been un-

defeated up until then.
“This was a very tough

tournament for Canada,’’ he

said, ‘‘We came in hoping
for a top-12 finish. We
found out early we were a
top-12 team.”

‘Then our goals changed

a bit. Maybe we puta litile
too much pressure on our-
selves.””

Canada will now try to
regroup for a very difficult
year ahead. The team will
reassemble in Winnipeg in
May. In the succeeding
months it will compete in
the Pan-American Games,
the World League and will

also try to qualify for pne of

just 12 berths in the 2000
Olympics in Sydney, Aus-
tralia.

stadium in Vancouver, the Grizzlies are hardly ever as-
sociated with winning basketball games in B.C.

final tournament, In second, third and fourth place

TRAINING TEAM: Thomas Demetzer and swim
coach Mike Carlyle at a competition last season.
Demetzer is one of the club's leading swimmers but
will be leaving this winter in a move to Prince George.

Bluebacks lose
top-10 swimmer

IT’S NOT as if the Blueback Swim Club wouldn’t have
lost Thomas Demeizer anyway.

But nobody thought it would happen so soon. Especially
not his long-time coach, Mike Carlyle.

“It’s a huge loss,”” said Carlyle.

Two weeks ago, Demeizer, now 13, was ranked as Cana-
da’s tenth best 200-metre backstroker for 11 and 12 year-
old boys.

His nine top-50 rankings last season helped boost Paints
North, a joint team of Northwest swimmers, into 31st spot
— it’s best position yet this early in the season.

Carlyle says Demetzer is easy to train, focussed, and a
hard worker. His dedication pushes others to do better and
swim harder,

But Demeizer plans to move to Prince George in January
because his dad, Harald Demetzer, is being transferred.

He would have eventually been drafted to the national-
level training team in Victoria like Terrace predecessor
Garth Coxford.

As a feeder club, the Bluebacks couldn’t offer Demelzer
the same amount of pool time or number of challenging
competitors as Victoria, Carlyle said.

“We're still really ticked it had to happen so soon.”

The Bluebacks also lose Demeizer’s mother, Lois
Demetzer, who is a member of the club’s executive and is
the club’s chief fundraiser. Harold Demetzer is the club’s
only referee.
