Lou Hayes further by pla-

decision means _ neither

rules that were presented
today were not the same
rules we voted on in
May.” the executive voted
4-3 with 2 abstentions to
accept the rules which led
to the probationary meas-
ures. Hayes remains ada-
mant that the minutes of
the May, 1986 meeting of
the T.C.A.A. vindicate
her decision to allow D.C.
to use Shaun Hartley in
the Canada Games elim-
ination tournament. Har-
tley’s participation, along
with Paul Bernard’s pres-
ence at D.C. practices
were cited in a Nov. 24th
letter from the T.C.A.A.
informing Hayes of the
suspension of the men’s
team. Neither Hartley or
Bernard were enrolled at
Douglas in the fall semes-
ter of 1986.

Hayes likened the deci-
sion to changing the rules
in the middle of the game

 

and added that she will
contest it with whatever
means possible. She  in-
dicated she will be meet-
ing with college officials to
consider further action, as
she is not aware that the
minutes of the May meet-
ing, crucial to her argu-
ment, were ever adopted
or even voted on.

Hayes stated that she
presumed it would take
extensive revision of what
she understood the intent
of those minutes to be to
make them conform with
the eligibility rules han-
ded down on Dec. 9th.

The probation will not
prevent Douglas from re-
presenting B.C. in both
the men’s and women’s
under 21 class at the
Canada Winter Games in
1987. A small consolation
for being shut out of any
hope for a legitimate con-
ference championship.

 

 

 

D.C. Royal’s hockey ac-
tion saw Western Wash-
ington lose 7-2 at Brit-
tania Arena, Nov. 29th.
Scoring was spread even-
ly between Harold Main-
man, Chris Klovan and
Steve Bowen each with
two goals and Glen Bul-
waka with one goal.

 

Kim Phipps led the way
with 30 points as the wo-
men’s basketball team ha-
mmered the Malaspina
Mariners 101-48 on Dec.
Sth. Jo-Ann Taylor coun-
ted 22 and Loretta Isaak
added 18 in a match which
never ,seemed in doubt
and was a fine kick-off for
the Royal’s league opener.
