An intramural team will not be disqualified from further competi- tion if it notifies the Student Athletic Association of its intended absence from a game. The team’s SAA representative

must present a written notice, including reasons for the absence, to the Convener of that sport at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled game. Al Gates made this motion at the

November 21 meeting of the SAA so as to clear up the question of what is "prior notice" which was left up in the air after the November 7 meeting. At that meeting, it was decided

that any intramural team that

United W ay e quals ’ 7 2 total of $ 2 ,600 with more to come

To date, the over-all 1973 Oshawa- Whitby United Way campaign has reached 93 per cent of its $615,000 objective, according to Frank Tay- lor, this year’s United Way Execu- tive Treasurer.

BY NOEL EDEY The United Way campaign is still

in full swing at Durham College despite the official November 15 closing date. The present total is $2,600, which

exceeds the $2,500 target set for the college. The total to date matches that

reached last year in the campaign and there is still some money to come in. Last year the college streaked

through their $2,300 goal, reaching the high of $2,600 at the conclusion of the campaign. Bruce Tuck, Durham’s Campaign

Manager for the second consecutive year, said "There’s no doubt in my mind that the United Way has a valid place in our society. I guess all United Way campaigns are having problems now." "With the social welfare programs

and other government instituted benefits possible, the individual now feels his or her responsibility is less than it was several years ago." The United Way in Toronto

wrapped it up behind $650,000. Their chairman said the big job now is to start a public relations program to reacquaint and reawaken people to the situation as it exists."

Mr. Taylor said donations are still being received and will be gratefully accepted until the 1973 United Way goal is reached. President of Durham College, Dr.

G. E. Willey and James Kirkeonnell, Durham’s Community Services Co- ordinator as well as Mr. Tuck were praised by Mr. Taylor for their unstinting efforts on behalf of the United Way. Dr. Willey is the chairman of the

public employees section of the United Way which includes schools and city, provincial and federal government employees. Mr. Kirk- eonnell is a member of the United Way’s basic committee in charge of special communications.

Norm _LaBine, former Student Aministrative Council president, drew a special note of thanks from Mr. Taylor for his dedicated efforts in promoting the United Way amongst the students through the showing of the United Way film and his promotion efforts during the last blood donor clinic held at Durham.

One week from today all students’ routines will change. Classes will cease once exams begin. Each division’s exam schedule is

based on the amount of writing and marking involved. Those exams that take the instructors the longest to mark have priority in scheduling. Applied Arts students will write

one exam a day from 9 a.m, to 11:30 a.m. Studio courses such as Art and Photography do not have exams. Instead these marks are based on the term’s work, according to Jim Paxton, Supervisor of Applied Arts. Most subjects in the Technology

Division have Christmas exams; Drafting is one exception. J. W. Davidson, Chairman of Technology,

stated that these students will write seven to ten exams. Roland LaPorte, department head

of Business, said business students will write eight exams either in the morning or in the afternoon period from 1 p.m.’to 3:30 p.m. Although most of the courses are a

year long, the Nursing Division has Christmas exams, remarked Muriel Ward, Director of Nursing. Gordon McRae, assistant to the

Dean, said there are approximately 240 exams administered from De- cember 10 through December 19. He hoped that the exam schedules would be published by today. Marking of the exams must be completed by December 20. Grades will be mailed between Christmas and New Year’s.

It is doubtful that Durham College will be facing any kind of energy rationing this winter. "We are doing what we can to

conserve energy," Mr. Keith Flet-

cher, Durham’s Superintendent of Plant, told the Chronicle. "We have sent a letter to the staff asking them to turn off any lights or machines that are not in use during the day," he said. The lights in the parking lot, which

used to be left on all night, are now being turned off at 1 p.m. by the security guards. "The classroom lights are turned

off at night but the hall lights are left on for safety reasons," Mr. Fletcher said. A Preventative Maintenance Crew

will be coming into the college to check the thermostats and the heating coils. "A thermostat could be set at 73 but actually allowing 78 degrees to be produced," he said, "If there was dust in the heating coils it would take more energy to produce the heat."

Hall temperatures could possibly be lowered slightly but classroom temperatures would have to remain the same. Durham College uses natural gas

to produce its heat. .There is an auxiliary oil tank that can be used in case of emergency. Mr. Fletcher said that there would be trouble getting oil before there would be trouble getting natural gas,

t<! hardly think we will have any kind of energy rationing here," Mr. Fletcher said.

Also on the staff are Diane Piper of Bll, Peggy Levndoshi of C12, Rob Thorndike of Cl3, David Lamb of Gil, Pam Evans and Luanne Roberts of Sll, Lucy Glassford of S12, Rita Bosgra of S13 and Linda Rayman. Students Athletic Association

ible for book sales. The 1973-74 yearbook will not be free but a price has not yet been set.

defaults a game through absence without reason or without prior notice will be eliminated from further participation in that sport. Elsewhere, intramural sports

have been postponed until after the Christmas break. Male Convener Gary Tutin presented the motion. saying that few students will have time to participate in the intramural program as most are preparing for the upcoming exams. However, the facilities which had

been obtained for the intramural program are still available to any student who wishes to play or practice badminton, basketball or volley ball. The gymnasium at Done- van Collegiate is open from 9 to 11 on Tuesday nights while G. L. Roberts Collegiate is available our Wednes-

days from 7 to 11 p.m.

Any class that wants to enter a team in boys’ intramural basketball, volleyball or floor hockey should notify their representative before Christmas. December 19 is the deadline for girls to sign up for basketball, volley ball, floor hockey and ringette.

In other SAA business, President Randy Low is now looking into the possibility of making an outdoor rink. The two locations best suited for the project would be between the school and the portables or on the parking lot near the tennis court.

If the rink was built on the first site, it would measure approximate- ly 60’ by 100’. If built on the parking lot, it would be about 65’ by 200’.

BON VOYAGE It’s off to scenic Quebec City

for a group of second-year Applied Arts students. The trip, planned for the last week of January was organized by Bill Derby, an instructor at Durham. You can help the students

and possibly yourself by buying a 50-cent ticket for the 50-50 draw. The winner gets half the money made on ticket sales and the other half goes toward defraying the cost of the journey. For details on the trip, see the story inside.

Genesis II hy PAULSHEIVHLT

In the beginning God created the earth and the subearth. But the subearth was without form and void. Thus, he formed it. Darkness was on the face of the subearth. God said, "Let there be light in the subearth", so he created nuclear energy which formed a magnificent light. But God wanted things to move on the subearth, so he created machines. He created great robots, fantastic computers, great carriages, and every steel machine possible, God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the subearth." And God said, "Let us make man in our image, and let them have dominion over the steel machines that bleep over this subearth." And he created a blob of flesh, fully clothed, with a great mind. And to every living thing on the subearth he provided oxygen tanks and masks so they couldst breath. Also to every living thing on this subearth, he gave great chemicals for food; and thus it was to be. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. Thus, the earth and the subearth were finished. The Lord

God had planted a room and called it Atlantis. And the Lord God put a man in this room to keep the machines operating. And in the ground the Lord God formed every great plastic

beast of the floor and every great simulated fowl. And God saw that man had a pain in his stomach and got

man to eat great chemicals. He commanded the man saying, "Of every chemical in this room you may eat it freely. But of any chemical on this red table you may not eat, for if you do you will surely die." And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Bruce,

the great new man, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh thereof. And of the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man,

made he another thing called woman because she was of the same flesh. Her name was Bertha . . . . . .

For adventure Bertha persuaded Bruce to eat from the red table. He tried some HCL (hydrochloric acid) and it tasted very good. Bruce continued to be. God was very happy. He had done

something very new. He had created imperfection.

The Be ach WERNER FOELL

I had aged 43 years, but the sea, and the beach, and the sky were exactly as I had left them. The gulls still reeled and shrieked overhead as they had in my childhood days. The steady crashing of the surf on the beach, the delicate tinkling of the wave-rolled pebbles were as timeless as the sea itself. The hulk was still there too. But it had changed. It now

seemed to be part of the seascape; the years had been kind to it. It was no longer the monstrous piece of flotsam cast up by the sea. Its harsh features had been modified to become harmonious with its surroundings. The years had weathered the stark white of the superstructure, and the jet black of the hull into a pleasant rusty-red shade. The hulk was now a metallic extension of the rust-red cliffs bordering the beach. The hulk, was always there, but, in reality it wasn’t. It was

foreign, it was man-made, but nature had returned it to herself in the most pleasing way.

Life BILL BRANTON

There must be a time in everyone’s life when the world was perfect for them. That time in life when the summer was warm and the snow in winter was higher. The time when one would look forward to the coming of the snow.

It was that same time in life when Christmas meant getting that new toy. Of hoping your grand-parents would give you something neat, rather than a new sweater. The lack of problems and of responsibilities made each day one long adventure as you ran after your dog across an open field. You pretended to hunt a pheasant and the young pup, clumsy and falling, would lead. The only problem to be faced came once a week. Saturday night brought your bath. But you could take the sting out of this problem. All you had to do was fill your toy submarine with baking soda, and you became the admiral of the seas.

In that time there were people and places to meet and see. There was always someone to play with and some unknown backyard to explore. These days went on and on and nothing could change them or stop them. You were young and always would be. But those days end for everyone. The day it all ends may be

different but an end will come to those days. You find yourself wondering why the boy down the street pulled a knife, in a fight and used it. Why did Ken kill himself? He was sixteen and he killed himself. But you don’t have the answer. Now you find that dog, that young pup, hunts for real. And

your aim with a rifle or shotgun is good. Almost too good. The kids you played with have grown up. Some will be

lawyers, some will work the line and others are strung-out. You find it hard to talk to many of them now. They’ve changed. What happened to that life which would never change? Now you curse the snow and damn the hot sun. You have quit your church. The Christmas season only

brings sadness because the world has gone to hell. The problems face you from all sides now and they keep

getting bigger and harder to face. Rut there is no olace to run and there is no place to hide.

Long dis tance calls fre e BY PI:<;<.V FOSTER

In a far corner at the end of a long corridor in the Technology wing, a tiny room connects Durham College with the rest of the world. The ham radio shack and its small

contingent of users daily reach such far-away places as Argentina^ Venezuela, Trinidad, Iceland, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) and Bermuda, to mention only a few. Approximately 30 students use the

radio set regularly. Some are experts at it, and others merely find it exciting to pick up the microphone and tune in to Tokyo for a chat with another radio operator. Four experts in the operation of

the ham radio are John Brink, .Juergen Kaiserling, Bernie Hoos and Dave Windsor. Mr. Brink, enrolled in Electronic

Technology, speaks a little Dutch which can come in handy when speaking to operators from Holland. Mr. Brink also revealed that

different continents can be received only at certain times of the day. For instance, Australia can be heard

only in the morning while reception of European countries is best during the afternoon.

Some members of the school have used it weekly to make calls home to the East and save the cost of a telephone bill.

LICENCE NEEDED To be qualified to operate a ham

radio you must be at least 14 years of age, and obtain a license from the government.

Doug Hall, a member of the Technology staff and an avid ham radio operator, estimates there are a half million licensed radio operators in the United States, and 30,000 in Canada.

He said although it was not part of an actual course at the college, if in tions course, Mr. Hall believes it is a great hobby to get into and said the equipment can be as expensive as you want. There is no real need to spend thousands when a small set can put you in contact with people all around the world.

FOLLOW RULES Rod Lee, an English teacher in the

Technology division, supervises the operation and makes sure students using the equipment follow the standard rules of procedure set up by the government.

Mr. Lee is also responsible for sending and receiving QSL cards which signify confirmation of con- versations around the world.

Those interested in use of ham facilities should contact Doug Hall or Rod Lee for instructions on how to use it.

The world is at your finger tips in the ham radio shack.

USED BY MANY Mr. Hall said that all types of

people use ham radios including technical people whose job it is to keep in contact with foreign coun- tries on business, and blind or shut-in people who use it as their only source of communication with the outside world.

Ont ario has more j o bs

by CAROL 11ALSTEAD

"Schools may find it necessary to offer courses on leisure and play rather than on industrial manage- ment to train people to live in the future environment." "Although today’s college genera-

tion may work harder, they might have a lower standard of living than their parents." These disillusioning predictions

were made by Jim Paxton, a supervisor and instructor of econ- omics at Durham College, when interviewed about the future unem- ployment situation in Canada and especially Ontario. Today the unemployment rate in

Canada is six per cent, he said. With a labor force o*’ nine million there are 540,000 people unemployed.

Eligibility in the labor force requires a male or female to be between 16 and 64 years of age unless the person is a permanent student. Permanently unemployed persons or those on welfare are not counted as part of the labor force, according to Mr. Paxton.

Inflation is one cause of unemploy- ment, he said. As a result of high wages and price scales industries are moving out of North America. Mr. Paxton said automation in

North America causes 50,000 per- sons a week to lose a job. Mr. Paxton believes a larger

percentage of the population will not find employment in the future. Fewer jobs and poorer wages are

real prospects for generations. These startling remarks were

made by a man who has earned a Master of Business Administration degree. To obtain this degree he studied urban economics, finance,

and management organization. The courses dealt with applied econom- ics and psychology. Mr. Paxton had some specific

statements concerning Canada and Ontario’s employment possibilities. Ontario is unquestionably Can-

ada’s healthiest province. There are several cities outside Ontario how- ever with adequate employment opportunities. Mr. Paxton stated Vancouver offers metropolitan ser- vice and clerical jobs. Calgary and Edmonton have jobs related to industry, retailing and housing. Southern and Western Ontario are

the most lucrative areas for employment. Unfortunately, Mr. Paxton said, these are high-cost-of- living areas so even workers find money not too plentiful. Inflation works like a hidden tax and eats into the future. Ontario’s unemployment figure is

about four per cent, he said. The province has one-half of all Can- adian manufacturing industries. This helps lower the national unemployment rate. Mr. Paxton believes location,

geography, and manufacturing power combined make Ontario an advantageous place to seek employ- ment.

Curling team honored by city

by PETER MELNYCHUK With exams approaching, intra-mural sports have

ended. The final sport was soccer. In soccer B2 defeated V-D21 by a count of 1-0. This game was exceptional in that it ended in triple sudden death overtime, a first in intra-mural competition.

Once the season of friendship and good-will among men, exams, I mean Christmas, has passed the students of Durham will be able to play road hockey, floor hockey, basketball, and volley ball. When the rink is made outback and if the ice stays there will be ice hockey and ringette. The idea to put a rink outside is a feather in the cap of the

Student Athletic Association.

Last year the curling team won the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association varsity curling championship. The city of Oshawa has honored them for their achievement. Last week they were honored at the civic banquet held at

the Civic Auditorium. At the banquet the city of Oshawa honored all the athletes who brought fame and recognition to the city of Oshawa.

So, what else is new? The ladies varsity volleyball team has been in the thick of things for the last three weeks. They have played in tournaments in Humber, Centennial and Niagara.

Although they have won only one game to date, (results of the last tournament not available) they have been working hard. It must be realized that all the girls are first year members so wins will have to be gained through hard work and perseverance. One of the many bright spots on the team is the fact that only one member of the team will not be returning next year.

Dan Lunney is manager of the ladies varsity volleyball team. He will be helping coach, Mary Hyatt, guide the team to a successful season.

In talking to coach Dave Stewart, of basketball fame the other day, I found out that he has great hopes that the basketball team will make a playoff spot in the OCAA. He said, "we have four games left before the Christmas

break and if we can finish with a 4-4 record the team has a great chance."

It would look as though everyone in the OCAA is ready to concede first place in the Southern Division to the team from George Brown College. The George Brown team is led by 6’7" Marvin Snowden; This young man is the leading the league with an amazing 36 points a game average. The question of the week in sports appears to be: is the

hockey team a reality or a myth? With their record it would appear to be a myth. But I would like to feel it is not.

When a team loses in the manner in which the hockey team has been there is a tendency to look for a scapegoat. This hockey team is not. We realize that we have been put in a position that is not enviable. Competing against teams from larger colleges means those we are battling against have, percentage wise, a better chance of putting together a more competitive team.

But at least the guys are trying even though it doesn’t look good at times. Good fan support helps and this has definitely unproved. There will be better things to come for the hockey team.

Disaster Hits Lords at Sheridan College

BY LEO MUELLER Disaster has struck the Durham

basketball team again. In an OCAA game at Sheridan the Lords were defeated 106-39 by the Bruins. Playing without their coach, Dave

Stewart at home ill and without their two big men, Rod Fillier and Chris Staeger, the Lords were only close at the opening tip off. The Bruins were, to put it mildly,

too powerful for the Durham team. Their big men, led by John Kostas and Demond Alyea, controlled the boards offensively and defensively from the outset. Numerous times they would be above the rim to grab a defensive rebound or to put in a basket in the offensive zone. The Sheridan quickness, evident

in the last game between the two, showed forth again. Steals were abundant by the Bruins as well as pressure on all Durham shots.

In an attempt to stop Sheridan the Lords went into a

^ zone defense

midway through the first half after falling behind 34-12. The zone allowed the Lords to cover areas instead of men thus giving some help on defense. The effort failed as the Bruins casually worked the ball around for the easy shots. Sheridan continued their domina-

tion into the second half, further embarrassing Durham by allowing only 14 points to be scored in the half.

To indicate how far the Lords were out of it was evident by Sheridan’s putting in their substitutes. They came in at the 10 minute mark of the first half and played most of the second half. The coach for Durham was Gerry

Petit. High scorers for Durham were

Dave Fitchett and Dean Little with 10. Sheridan high men were Alyea 30 and Ed Stephens 15.

HERB KIRKCONNELL

by BRAD SAVAGE Herb Kirkconnell, Director of

Durham Student Affairs will be leaving here to manage the Can- adian Badminton Team at the British Commonwealth Games, in late January, 1974.

He will be in charge of organiza- tion of all details of transport, immunization while the team is here, and in Christchurch, New Zealand. He will also be in charge of organizing facilities for them during the games.

Mr. Kirkconnell, who was seven times Canadian senior doubles champion, and represented the Canadian Badminton Team in the

1961 Thomas Cup Playofts, feels that Badminton is a good sport for people of all ages to participate in.

He feels that not enough emphasis is placed upon continuing recreation in sports after people leave high school. He also expressed concern for the trend in North America to be a spectator at sports, rather than a participator.

Mr. Kirkconnell’s interest in badminton stems from the days 26 years ago, when, as a student at the University of Toronto, he began to play with his fiance.

Herb feels that mutual interest in sports such as badminton can play a useful part in a marriage.

Lords ice effort falls short by LEO MUELLER

Despite playing their best game of the season the Durham Lords were losers to the Seneca Braves 7-4 in OCAA hockey Saturday, November 17. Putting on a display of team work,

hustle and desire the Lords would have won if the game were decided on these points. As it was the Braves put the puck in the net more often and that is where it counts. The entire game was filled with

great action, good goals and even a little fracas between fans and players.

In "the first period the Lords

seemed to come out flat for some reason and it was evident from the play. The Braves came out skating and had the Lords in trouble from the start. The early pressure resulted in a power play goal at 5:59 by Peers. Using the penalty to their advan-

tage the Braves passed the puck around in the Durham zone until the box defence had broken down. The goal was the result of Brave persistence. A point shot went wide of the net but deflected to the side where Randy Kinnear was going to fall on it. Another deflection put the puck in front of the net and Peers

Cagers win in overtime beating Humber 87-85

by LEO MUELLER

It’s a pity in the world of competitive sports that there always has to be a winner and a loser. Such was the case when the Durham Lords basketball team beat Humber Hawks 87-85 in overtime, Thursday, November 15.

It was a joyous and breathtaking win for Durham and at the same time it was a shame to see a Humber player who had contributed so much to his team, taste defeat. George Phee, a magnificent

dribbler and shooter was the most outstanding player on the floor all night notwithstanding Rod Fillier of Durham. Phee was the leader of the Hawks

in every phase as he led in scoring, in assists and was one of the team’s top rebounders. George put 35 points in the basket to take game high honours. The game itself was the most

exciting ever played by Durham and was the first time they had gone into extra periods to decide the game. From the opening tip-off the game

had the characteristics of a great game. Both teams came out shooting and action was up and down the court as both clubs traded basket for basket. Two key men were also starting to

make ’their presence felt. George Phee was the leader of for the Hawks from the start as he constantly worked his way free for easy 10-15 foot shots with his dribbling prowess and moving without the ball. Phee was also a defensive

standout as he forced the Lords to pass when they thought they had a shot. Rod Fillier of Durham, who would

have been the most outstanding player if not for Phee, dominated the defensive boards from the begin- ning. Any lime a shot was missed by the Hawks Rod was there to rebound and start the fast break with an outlet pass to the guard. When the passes were cut off

Durham went into a deliberate style of offence, running patterns for the open shot rather than using the fast break. Rod ended up the game with 16

rebounds, 14 of those defensively. The first half itself was divided

into two games. Humber controlled the first ten minutes and the Lords the second. Humber had a 26-22 lead when a time out was called by Durham with eight minutes gone but after that it was all Lords. The team, using their hot shooting

and rebounding outscored Humber 28-16 in the final 12 minutes to go ahead 50-42 at halftime. Along with Fillier’s rebounding

the shooting of Chris Staeger was also a factor. Chris had 18 big points most from 15 foot jumpers as the whole team had a hot shooting half. The second half started off in

great style for Durham as they scored the first six points to increase their lead to 14. However, an improved defence, a good offensive surge ajnd the Lords’ poor shooting saw Humber reduce the margin to four points with eight minutes left in the game. The rest of the game was nip and

tuck and culminated in an exciting final two minutes. With Durham leading 78-76, the

Lords worked the ball around in a stall until one minute remained when an offensive foul was called on Dean Little. The call upset the whole Durham team as it was evident to everyone except the officials that the Humber player had committed a foul. Humber was unable to score and

when Staeger hit a free throw with 38 seconds left everyone thought that was the game. George Phee rose to the occasion by hitting a jumper for two and a free throw to tie the score. The Hawks had a-chance to win

the game with four seconds left when McCormack had one and the bonus but he missed. The five minute overtime was all

Durham as they scored the first six points and then played excellent defense. Fillier with four, Bentley two and Gates two had the points in overtime. Phee four and McGhie two had

Humberts points. The win evened the Lords record

at two wins and two losses. Scoring for Durham were Fillier

23, Staeger 21, Fitchett 12, Ball 9, Little and Woodward 6, Bentley 5, Dupont 3 and Gates 2. Humber scores were by Phee 35.

McGhie 23, Berehulka 10, Forrester 7, Ferraras 6 and McCormack 4.

tucked it into the webbing. Up to the midway mark of the

period it was all Seneca but Durham . had not played that bad. Mark Houston from 15 feet had the best opportunity but he was stopped at the nine minute mark. A fight between Wayne Archer of

Durham and Clement of Seneca seemed to lift the team after the fracas. The fight started when Archer accidentally high sticked the Brave player. Clement retaliated by jumping him from behind. Archer reversed the situation very quickly and got in two rights which put the Brave player down. Although Seneca scored at 12:56

on the power play on a goal by Moore, Durham came right back 24 seconds later. Paul Borchuk on a solo effort picked up a loose puck along the boards and came in, scoring on a 15 footer into the corner. As stated the fight seemed to

inspire the Lords. Following the fight their skating and passing improved immensely and it appear- ed if the Lords could hit the Braves they would win the game. The second stanza saw five goals

scored, three by the Braves and two by the Lords. Seneca increased their margin to

3-1 at 6:26 when Durand’s shot hit the post and went in. Durham came right back at 9:25 when Wayne Buckingham scored on the power play. The goal was the completion of great passing by all the players on the ice. Seneca’s two other goals were

ones that hurt the Lords chances of tying the game. The fourth goal came when a pass from behind the net by Fourcaudt deflected into the cage. With 30 seconds remaining Zebrak scored a short handed goal to put Seneca ahead 5-3 making it very difficult for Durham to tie the contest. Mark Houston had a Lord goal

between the two at 13:43 when he scored on a backhander. An altercation between two Sen-

eca players and Durham fans behind the penalty box resulted in a ten minute delay at the fifteen minute mark. The incident started when fans kept heckling the players in the box and one of the players turned a and hit a female spectator. Words were exchanged between fans and the two players until the referee ordered the area behind the box cleared. Nothing further developed between fans and players. The third period saw Seneca play

more defensively protecting their lead. The two goals they scored came as a result of Durham having to play offence and forget defence. Both goals came after good scoring chances by Durham had failed. LaPlante and Durand with his

second were the scorers for the Braves. Hugh Weir with a 20 foot shot ended the scoring for Durham. To indicate how much Durham

has improved and how well they played one only has to look at last year’s scores. Seneca won 21-0 and 20-1. A great effort was turned in by

every one despite the loss.

How sweet it is, the thrill of victory. The Durham Lords hockey team finally won their first league game 7-3 against the Georgian Generals Saturday, November 24. Having complete control of the

game except for the first ten minutes of the second stanza the Lords were worthy of their victory. Paced by John Goodwin’s hat trick

and Steve McLaughlin’s two goals, the Lords led 3-1 after the opening session. The game started in a cautious

style as neither team had a good chance. The Lords scored first at 4:25 following a beautiful passing play between Goodwin and McLaughlin. Steve picked up a loose puck along the boards and fed it to John, alone in front of the net, who scored into the top right corner. Georgian tied the score at 10:22 on

Two weeks ago the ladies varsity volleyball team travelled to Niagara College to take part in yet another tournament. The ladies team defaulted the first

round to Niagara because they had only five players. One of the members was late in showing up for the contest.

In the second round St. Clair College from Windsor defeated the team from Durham 15-12, 15-7 and 15-8.

In the third round against Mohawk College the ladies were beaten 15-4, 15-0 and 8-7. ’

The last game in this instance was defaulted due to an injury to one of the players on the Durham team.

Injuries are hurting the ladies volleyball team. Sandra Lovely is out with a strained back and Brenda Savage has pinched toe nerves. "The team has improved consid-

erably since the first tournament, said manager Dan Lunney. "But the fact that most of the girls

have never played organized volley- ball is hurting us," he added.

occurred in the first 10 minutes of the second period. Probably unfam- iliar with having a lead the Lords stopped skating and checking, allowing the Generals to come to them.

Goodwin completed his hat trick and killed any chances Georgian had of tying the game when he scored at 2:46 with an assist from a Paul Borchuk .screen. John scored from 15 feet in front. Borchuk scored himself a little over a minute later on a breakaway at 4:00 to insure the Durham victory.

Lords put the winning streak on the line this Saturday against Sheridan. Game time is 8 p.m. at North Oshawa.

Dick Snowden will once again, this year. coach the varsity curling learn. Last year’s Ontario Colleges

-Mhletic Association champions as tar as coach Snowden is concerned, "are as strong as last year’s championship team." The lineup for this year’s edition

is: at Skip Willie Beaton, Vice and Second stone will be alternated between Ralph Bridgland and Ed Sikorski. The lead is Greg Goode and spare is Jim Hutcheon. Mark Howsam, who was the lead,

has been lost to the team due to illness. Dick felt that Mark was the best sweeper on the team. The league this year is comprised

of teams from Sheridan College, Centennial, Seneca and Durham. Humber and Georgian Colleges are question marks at this moment. Last week in an exhibition

tournament against teams from Seneca, Sir Sanford Fleming and an entry from the Oshawa Golf Club, Durham fared well.

Durham defeated Seneca by a score of 9-4 and beat the Oshawa Golf Club entry 10-4. "Seneca was one of the stronger

teams last year but they did not look so good at the tournament," said coach Snowden. Dick feels that Humber College

could be the strongest team this year as they have some excellent curlers from the Oshawa area. Doug Morrison of Whitby and Dick

Howson of Oshawa both curl for the Humber team. Last weekend at the Civic Banquet

the Varsity Curling team received medallions from the City of Oshawa for the effort they put forth in winning last year’s OCAA finals. This year coach Snowden hopes

for a repeat performance from his charges. But this year there is a Canadian Championship in Calgary for community colleges and that too is another goal to aim for. Regional playoffs start January 27

and the OCAA finals are March 22-24 in North Bay.

Melnychuk to his right before

Sheridan Bruins win scored by fullback Bill Harrison. Harrison scored 17 touchdowns and romped for almost 1,300 yards in the Bruins eight-game regular season.

The Sheridan Bruins of the Ontario Colleges Athletic Associa- tion have captured the Canadian Community Colleges Football Championship by virtue of a 24-17 victory over the Vanier Cheetahs on November 18. The game, played at the snow-cov-

ered University of Montreal stad- ium, was highlighted by Scott Crichton’s 115 yard return of a wide field-goal attempt. The third quarter touchdown by the Sheridan speed- ster proved to be the winner. The other Sheridan major was

Replying for Vanier were John McGuiness and Tom Barbeau who took passes of 55 and 38 yards respectively from Terry Cripotos. Ground conditions accounted for

six Sheridan fumbles and three Vanier fumbles. To get to the Canadian final,

Sheridan outscored Seneca College by 28 points in the two-game total-point Ontario final.

Braves hammer Lords When things go bad they seem to

come in avalanches. Such was the case when the Seneca Braves defeated the Durham Lords 84-48 in OCAA basketball, November 22. Although the score indicates the

Toronto team won big the Lords simply did not have a good game. The Braves have a good team but they are by no means 36 points better than the Lords.

The game started off as a defensive struggle as neither team was able to penetrate offensively.

After 6>2 minutes only six points had been scored by both teams with Dave Fitchett having all of Dur- ham’s points.

With eight minutes remaining until halftime the scoring still had not improved that much as Durham

was ahead 14-12. However in the remaining time it was all Seneca. Able to penetrate more effectively

and hitting the short jumpers the Braves outscored Durham 24-8 to lead 36-22 at the half. Hockey popular

two different ways The Lords’ defense was not that

bad but it was the offence which slowed the team. Numerous times the team would revert to early season form by standing around and watching instead of making breaks for themselves. The Lords also missed many easy lay-ups and short jumpers that could have made a difference in the outcome.

What are the two fastest growing sports activities? Hockey, football, baseball? No. The answer according to a recent article in Action Sports Hockey is table hockey and floor hockey. Table hockey has caught on big in

Canada and the United States, evidence the championships held in Montreal in February. Over 50

entries were submitted to the Canadian Open Singles Table Hoc- key Tournament held at Loyola College in Montreal. Players from all over the provin-

ces and states came hoping to taste the thrill of victory. Table hockey can be played by two

or four players and with the table hockey models of today the sport is quite exciting. Manipulation of the controls of the

players is an art that can be envied. To make a save with the goalie and then go on the offence with the forwards requires co-ordination of the hands and eyes. Another game played by children

seems once again to be taken over by adults. For those who could not play

hockey on ice they now have another sport in which they can show their skill-floor or street hockey. Floor hockey is an off shoot from

the original ice game and is another activity that" has caught on with gusto especially in universities.

If any large area can be found that will enable reasonable movement then the sport can survive. Long hallways, cafeteria’s lounges, al- most any place is suitable as long as there are enough people and precautions are taken for safety. Floor hockey is physically devel-

oping the body as well as enjoyment to the player, The running and exertion involved force the player to be in some physical shape or else he will be huffing and puffing. At Durham last year street hockey

was one of the better participated sports because although some skill is needed a stick and gloves is the only requirement.

The second half was just a total disaster for Durham. Unable to score offensively and seeing their defense destroyed by Seneca’s hot shooting the Lords were never able to narrow the gap. The team did have success all

night with play number five. What ever the play comprises it got the team moving and resulted in a majority of the team’s baskets. The avalanche started in the final

minutes of the first half and continued until the final whistle. The Lords’ bad shooting, missed easy shots, some bad defense and Seneca’s good overall play helped the Braves win by such a big edge. Scorers for Durham were Fitchett
