BASKETBALL TEAM BRINGS HOME
SILVERWARE

The Douglas College.Men's Basket-
Ball Team brought home a trophy over
the weekend by winning an invitat-
ional tournament sponsored by
B.C.1.T. Four Colleges were invited
to the tournament, namely B.C.1I.T.
Cariboo College, College of New
Caledonia, and Douglas College.

In the opening round action on
Friday evening Douglas was slated
to play against New Caledonia
while B.C.I.T. took on Cariboo.
The Douglas Team under the able
captaincy of Hugh Davies came out
with their guns blazing and by the
half had built up a commanding

15 point lead. In the second

half they slowed the pace down
somewhat as Davies played everyone
on the bench. The final score was
Douglas 81, New Caledonia 60.

Kim O'Leary had the hot hand for
Douglas with 33 points. 8.C.1.T.
meanwhile took the measure of
Cariboo by a score of 75-54. Thus
the stage was set for a final
between Douglas and B.C.1I.T.on
Saturday afternoon.

Douglas had lost by 2 points to
B.C.1I.T. last Wednesday in a
regular league game in which the
officiating was atrocious to say
the least.

Determined to gain revenge the
Douglas Team poured it on in the
final clobbering B.C.I.T. by a
score of 88-66. Davies with 24
points and O'Leary with 22 points
were outstanding for Douglas, while
Steve Hynek as usual was all over
the court again setting up plays.

Lee Stevens was outstanding on
Defense for Douglas showing great
form on the rebounds.

All in all a fine showing by our
men.
