Hurray for the economic crunch! Because of it

DOUGLA

Douglas College badminton has benefited richly this year,
Currently in all our sports we have tried to put the lid

on travel costs and play local. And thats a dinger way to
serve the college community! With the Junior Colleges
scattered about the Province intercollege competition is

out for the time being at anything but a token level. So

in the case of badminton’ the College has entered the Vancouver
and District Bacminton League. Now our most adventurous sortie

Need be only as a far as the hinterlands of Langley.

Another plus for-~® this league is that we can field c'
two mixed teams of sight instead of the one we were restricted tg’ .
before. Douglas Collage has entries in both Divisions Three and

Five of the League.

In addition each team member Peete participates in
both doubles and mixed play every time out, whereas before
players could compete in only one category each play date at

intercollege meets.

And the schedule? Chock full of nuts! Each tivds division
plays almost weekly until wz March, allowing for the Christmas
beeser break, Further to this competition there are tasoen
Association sponsored tournaments till April that Douglas may

enter, and a few intercollege -ێe fixtures.

Competition to Date
