Carthage women deep at all positionsBy JOHN MclNTYRE Sports WriterMum’s the word on the style of play but it's tough to hide enthusiasm.The women’s basketball season opens for Carthage College at 2 p.m. Saturday at non-conference Lake Forest and first-year Carthage Coach Kim Woodward can hardly wait.It’s easy to tell that because although she’s not saying much about her specific program, she’s quick to point up what might be the club’s best asset.It’s depth.Sometimes coaches refer to depth in trying to sugarcoat a lack of quality. They’ll use the word rather than say they don’t have a strong starting unit. But Woodward uses it in its pure sense — plenty of good players — and only one of them is a senior..Three starters return fromlast season when Carthage posted a 16-9 record and a second-place finish in the Chicago Metro Conference — currently in its last year.But although the three started on a good team, they’re being pushed this time around.High-scoring guard-forward Cindy Czubakowski has nailed down a starting spot although it’s difficult to say at exactly what position. The 5-foot-9 junior will be joined by returning starter Pam Janczak, 5-9, apparently at a forward.The other starter back from last year is 6-3 junior Jeanne Zuelke, but she’s still battling for a post spot.Lisa Helle, 5-8 junior, is Woodward’s choice, evidently at a guard spot.Czubakowski, Janczak and Helle are the only sure starters. Junior Mary Lee Peterson and sophomore Colleen ReinemannHansen bowls 671 seriesRanae Hansen opened with a 267 game, 106 pins over her average, then finished with a 201 and 203 for a 671 series Thursday in the Individual Classic at Gut-tormsen East.It was her first 600-plus series of the season.Mary Schmidt opened with a 246 game, then went on to finish with a 654 for her second 600 of the season.215, 108 and 190, bowled her first 600 of the season in the Royal Queens at Guttormsen West. She had her 613 for the Tri-Cloverteam.Two Royal Queens bowlers enjoyed their first 500s. Alice Lynn rolled games of 190, 223 and 135 for a 548.

Prior to that, shecoached four seasons of high school ball in Danville, III.“This is the first time I’ve had a team where I’ve had 10players I think can start,’’ she said. “We’re small in numbers with only 11 players and injuries worry me but other than that, 1 think we’ll be fine.“I don’t what to say much yet about what we’re going to do,” Woodward said through a smile. “I know that sounds awful but I just don’t want to give away too much.”She did say however, Carthage might run some 1-4 offense and although her club will run when it has the chance, it’s not going to be like the recent past.“No run and gun,” she stressed. ‘This team averaged 22 turnovers a game last year and that’s just to many. We will run but we will run a controlled fast break.On the other end of the court. Woodward “likes teams that can play multiple defenses. We’re liable to go man-to-man or zone.She’s definitely optimistic.“Offensively, I don’t have a player who can’t shoot from outside and we have several who can score from inside. Plus, wehave girls who can play any type of game. We can play up tempo or slow-down and we might try arnntiniiniic mntinn offense like
