Al Scates

Volleyball was invented in 1895, but not until last week did the first college championship take place. UCLA, behind the 115 mph spikes of Kirk Kilgour, won the title, walloping Cal State Long Beach

Santa Monica YMCA won the U.S. title in Binghamton, N.Y. and may send as many as six men to Cuba for the Olympic elimination round

Like their basketball brothers of yore, the volleyball Bruins seem to be taking permanent possession of the NCAA title, and what does it matter if the teams they beat are friends and neighbors

UCLA's Al Scates is one coach who won't get the ax. If he keeps felling opponents, he'll win more NCAA titles than the Wizard of Westwood
