Volleyball
Madurai: The first Arjuna Awardee in volleyball A. Palanisamy (India No. 1 in 1959 and Asia No. 1 in 1962), died at his residence in Kallampatti, a village in Melur Taluk (Madurai district) on Monday. Palanisamy, a spiker, was always a terror in the court. He had a big jump and smashed with tremendous power either from high or short balls, right on the front row, which put the opponents in difficulty to return. Palanisamy played first for Madurai City Volleyball Club, which was one of the top teams of the country in 1950s. Before joining the Southern Railway in 1956, he played in many all-India tournaments for Madurai teams in various States. He shot into prominence after joining the Southern Railway team. He was a regular member of the Indian Railways team in the Nationals and his team won the title in 1959 in Jamshedpur. He is survived by wife, two sons and a daughter.
