PUTTING THE BLAME ON THE COACH

Graham himself sounds upbeat about the upcoming season.

"There are a lot of positives that have happened," Graham said. "We have a very exciting season ahead of us and I feel that we can win the Ivy title again. It we can do that after all the dissonance of the early season, that will be great."

Other opinions exist, however.

"No one wants to come to practice," Park said. "Nobody wants to recover from their injuries. They feel like it's time away from Graham."

Several players have gone to Associate Athletic Director Patricia Henry to air their complaints about Graham.

Some, including McNabb, have gone as far as to say that it would take a new coach for the team to achieve the success it once enjoyed. Neither Henry nor Athletic Director Bill Cleary '56 returned phone calls yesterday.

Graham remains undaunted, however. "I feel that I can do the job and that we can do the job with the people we've got. We've just got some problems that we have to work out as a team.

"I haven't achieved all my goals here. Besides winning an Ivy and being number one in the East, I'd like to improve as a coach and try and build a program that the girls enjoy playing for. That hasn't been the case in the last ten years and I want to see if I can achieve that," Graham said.
