The second annual Royal Classic
Men’s_ Basketball tournament was
held last weekend at Douglas College.
with eight teams, including the Uni-
versity of Victoria J.V.’s , Edmonton’s
Grant MacEwan Griffins and our own
Douglas College Royals competing.

The Royals started the tournament
by destroying the University of Vic-
toria J.V.’s 103 - 52. In the semi-
: finals, the Royals defeated Grant
| — MacEwan by the score of 89 to 68,
advancing to the championship round
against the Vancouver Police Depart-
ment-Safeway. _

Despite the scoring presence of
V.P.D.’s Kelly Dukeshire, who had 18
points, the Royals and the V.P.D.
played a close matched first half,
with the Royals leading V.P.D. by one
point.

Lack of scoring by Dukeshire in the
second half did not reduce V.P.D.’s
| determination as they narrowly de-
feated the Royals; winning the tourna-

ment the score of 79 - 74.
' Kelly Dukeshire was the tourna-
| ment’s MVP scoring a total of 89
points eine seri Bly: Two

D.C. Royals were named to the
All-Star team: #21 Al Church and #23
Brent Henderson; Honorable mention
was also given to #9 Bill Matthews.

Slotted in the middle of the Royal
Classic Tournament was a well-played
‘‘Women’s’’ basketball game, not a
girl’s game as was indicated in the
tournament’s program. The Douglas
College women’s basketball team beat
the University of Victoria J.V.
women’s team 93 to 57.

For the first four minutes, the game
looked like it would by a close evenly
matched one. The Royals soon indi-
cated that was not the case, by
scoring twelve unanswered points
within a period of two minutes.

The score at the half was 54 - 24 for
the Royals. That point margin was
increased by 30 points by the final
whistle, the Royals winning over the
J.V.’s 93-57.

The Royals biggest scoring threat
was Mirjana J urcic (#5) with 26 points
for the game. Other Douglas scoring

Sire Ridicoy.-

Fencing brings to mind, the image
of two men dueling for their honour;
even though, today’s fencing isn’t as
glamourous as the past image evokes;
fencing ‘now involves more strategy
and endurance than in years gone by.

Students at Douglas College, fence
through the Douglas College fencing
club. Instructor Simon Tam contri-
butes 15 years of fencing experience
and his expertise as former B.C.
Sabre champion, to his instruction.

There are two fencing programs at
Douglas; the beginners and interme-
diate programs. The beginners pro-
gram instructs the student on the
basic moves and the one’s associated
with the sport. After completion of

 

this program, the students can enter
the intermediate program, in which
they have the chance to apply the
techniques they learned in direct

- competition.

Douglas College fencers participate
in a_ recreational fencing league,
which has all universities and colleges
in the Lower Mainland competing in.
Douglas has been classified as the
‘‘team to beat’’ in league competition.

With a fencing tournament sched-
uled to take place on March 29 at
Douglas College, competing teams
are going to come from Oregon,
Washington State and Alberta, as
well as from other parts of British
Columbia.
