~ An EventWorth Remembering _

For devoted hockey fans, it was the
social event of the year. How oftencan
a fan luncheon with Bobby Hull and
Gordie Howe, not to mention Paul
Shmyr and Gary Monahan? Betty Lou
Hayes, athletic coordinator of the
college, and Merv Bodnarchuk, coach
of the college’s hockey team, hosted
this memorable event in the lower
cafeteria Monday afternoon, prior to
the exhibition game scheduled that
evening. Those present at the lunch-
eon honouring the two hockey legends
included the entire Royals hockey
club, some of the administrators of the
college, Jesse Sedhu, student society
president, and a number of prominent
figures in the community.

The two~main speakers at the
luncheon were, of course, Bobby Hull
and Gordie Howe. Bobby Hull became

the life of the party, as soon as he
began telling jokes about Rocket
Richard, his ex-wife, and his life in
hockey. Later on, Gordie Howe de-
livered a heart-warming speech on his
involvement with the Special Olym-
pics, while Gary Monahan quoted
himself as one of the ‘‘most average
players ever in the N.H.L.’’ Even our
college president,- Bill Day, enlighten-
ed the crowd with memories of his
childhood hockey career.

Themost positive aspect of this entire
event was the media coverage it
received. John McKeachie of B.C.T.V.
was on hand, as well as other sports
media personnel. All in all, the event
was well organized, and for those
involved, it turned out to be an
enjoyable afternoon.

Douglas Wins Silver in Golf

The Douglas College golf team
travelled to Kamloops on the weekend
to compete in the 1984 Totem Canfer-
ence golf championships. Each partici-
pating college had four players, with

‘the best. three scores being counted
each day on Saturday and Sunday for
the team championship.

After Saturday’s round (played in a
howling hurricane), Douglas trailed
Malaspina College by the narrow
margin of two strokes.

Weather conditions were perfect on
Sunday, and the Douglas contingent
was confident they would overtake
Malaspina. However, after all the
putts were sunk on Sunday, Malaspina
emerged as gold medalists, with
= taking the silver three strokes

ck.

The coach’s division of the tourna-
ment was won by Lorne Rockwell of
Fraser Valley College, with a 36 hole
score of 160. Douglas coach Gert Van
Niekerk was second at 161.

The tournament was played on the
heavily bunkered Rivershore Golf and
Country Club. The course was in
excellent shape and tournament di-
rector Pat O’Brien of Cariboo College

did a fine job of hosting the event. A
very congenial and pleasant atmo-
sphere prevailed amongst all the

golfers and coaches, especially at the
spaghetti feast on Saturday evening
when Douglas’ Chris Klovan domin-
ated proceedings with his humorous
antics.

A special feature of the tournament
was the presence of Mount Royal
College from Calgary and the Univer-
sity of British Columbia teams as
special invited guests. The U.B.C.
team actually emerged overall winner
three strokes ahead of Malaspina, but
not being a member of the Totem
Conference, did not qualify for any
medals. The Scores were as follows:
