A. · truck, and illegal Shell credit card expenditures. According to V.P. Finance David Brown, t he E.S.A. "is now liable for some $850.00 worth of printing charges incurred at the Montreal Copy Center" and presented docu- ment ation in the form of invoices and a per sonal re count of a testi- monial from Mr. King of the Mon - tr eal Copy Center.

"Gross Abuse" Charges to be Examined by Special Committee

ESA SUSPENDS V.P. EXTERNAL by Roy Ostling

In an emergency meeting of the Executive Council of the Evening Students Association on Tuesday, October the 30th, a motion to bring V.P. External George Proussaefs to trial by his peers, stemming from charges claiming "a gross abuse of authority" was passed, with Proussaefs being suspended from the E.S.A. Council and from further participation in Association business.

Advised of t he meeting, Prous­saefs did not attend, choosing to participate in an Association of Universities and CoJJeges of Cana­da meeting in Ottawa.

The investigative committee es­tablished by ESA president O'Ma­hony appoints Vice:President In­ternal John Mulvaney, Arts Re­presentative Candace Bowen, Fjne Arts Representative Attila Hor­vath, and Engineering Represen­tative David Giggey to examine documents pertaining to charges which raise from unauthorized ex­penditures at the Montreal Copy Center for printing services, and unauthorized use of the E.S.A. · truck, and illegal Shell credit card expenditures.

According to V.P. Finance David Brown, t he E.S.A. "is now liable for some $850.00 worth of printing charges incurred at the Montreal Copy Center" and presented docu­mentation in the form of invoices and a per sonal recount of a testi-

monial from Mr. King of the Mon­treal Copy Center.

Proussaefs, Brown stated, also accumulated "gas and service charges" while operating the E.S.A. truck and using the E.S.A. credit card . Brown made it clear that he "is not asking for Mr. Proussaefs to pay all or part of these expenses, but if he is on E.S.A. business, he should have to justify them."

The action which the E.S.A. will take in regard to the charges pre­sented was determined by two mo­tions made and carried in the exe­cutive council.

The first motion that Mr. Prous­saefs be brought to trial under ar­ticle 69 of Roberts Rules of Order by his peers, was made by Brown and Commerce Rep. Jean-Pierre Olynick, and car ried with five for, none against, and one abstaining. · President O'Mahony proceeded to outline the article per"taining to trial procedures of members of so­cieties and associations.

The motion that Mr. Proussaefs be brought to trial, was complica­ted by the fact that the council had no past experience in such proce­dure. As P resident O'Mahony pointed out, "under the current' constitution, the E.S.A. has no procedure to bring a member to trial, t herefore there is no one to apply jurisprudence precedence and rules for trials as such.

"In order, there{ore, to protect

the interests of Mr. Proussaefs, it is necessary to establish a body which can have a proper mandate, and which can guide council in their de­cision-making. I would suggest that this mandated body should have

, the authority to establish rules and procedures, and evidence for such a hearing to determine appropriate terms of reference for the E.S.A. from archives or similar bodies of information from other universi­ties, to establish a date for trial and to compile evidence both for and against the complaints to deter­mine whether the trial should be held under the student code and to accept any such charges, or other­wise, which may be forthcoming."

The motion to establish a four­man committee to research trial procedure and set a trial date, and to be appointed by President O'Mahony, was maae by Brown and seconded with six for and no abstentions or negative votes.

An executive Steering Commit­tee was subsequently held, with both E.S.A. and Proussaefs pro­perty being removed and sealed in the President's office after a suc­cessful motion calling for transfer of all property pertaining to the in­vestigative committee. This remo­val of both E.S.A. and Proussaefs personal effects, js detailed in ar­ticle 69 of Rober ts Rules of Order, and was supervised by appointed delegates of the E.S.A. council.

"These are old charges which have been trumped up" claimed Proussaefs, "Their action is 'ille­gal', and occurs because I and others have caJJed for O'Mahony's resignation. The seizure of my per­sonal property may be in violation of Federal criminal statutes."

O'Mahony, speaking to The CONCORDIAN, claims that Prou­ssaefs, when offered, refused to re­trieve his property in t he presence of four witnesses, and that all his personal belongings still remain available to him in t he outer E.S.A. offices.

Pertinent files, documents, and other papers remain under lock and key awaiting examination by the investigative committee. The Unr­versity's Chief Security Officer has

been advised that Proussaefs may not utilize the E.S.A. offices until further notice.

Proussaefs has so far notified Dr. O'Brien and the Dean of Students' Office of the sitiiatio-n and has sought legal council.

"We had to do something for the sake of t he association," observed O'Mahony. "Things were really getting out of hand. We have been kept so busy dealing with these recurrent problems that legitimate and urgent association business has been held up.

A date for the first meeting of the trial procedure committee has not yet been established.

President O'Mahony

"Protecting Evening .

Student Interests" by Roy Ostling

The president of . the Evening Student Association of Sir George as the highest executive offic·er bears the responsibility of insuring that the interests of his electorate are maintained.

O'Mahony' with his nine years of political experience is a man who is well-a ware of the particulr difficul­ties in running a large organization.

".That situation has come very close and it was a process of deterioration that began about a year and a half ago, but it is no longer so."

'Tha t situat i9n has come very close and it was a process of deteri­oration that began about a year and half ago, but it is no longer so."

well-aware of the particular difficulties in running a large organization.

President O'Mahony has a clear vision of what the philosophy of the E.S.A. is, and sees its primary goal as, "ensuring tfiat whether it be in the operational or academic area of the university, an evening stu­dent's voice can be heard, thereby guaranteeing that every register­ed evening student has their vested interests represented to fa­cuJty members and administration alike."

"The E.S.A. experienced dis­harmony ,and the source of that disharmony has been placed in check. I know that the individual · members of the executive council will do everything in their power to move forward to more fully achieve the goals I outlined."

An avid hunter and scuba diver, Bill O 'Mahony teaches a course in marketing, and is the creative director of a Montreal-based advertising agency.

· "The day that the executive council loses s'ight of this primary goal is the day the E.S.A. loses all relevance.

"The faculty Representatives have all established programs of · interest to students in their facul­ties. Those programs can greatly enhance the academic process of the individual student in as much as they can present new and challen­ging approaches to his respective discipline. However to benefit from these activities the individual stu­dents should come forward to Room 603 where there are always members of the executive council

ready and willing to meet. with them.'

"We can, at times, resolve diffi­cultil;ls pertaining to individual students with respect to the courses they are tl!king. The E.S.A. i!ouncil can also help solve problems that may occur in dealing with faculty or administration."

A common difficulty which stu­dent associations face is that of apathy. What is the E.S.A. doing about . apathy?

"A key point to remember is that when one is involved in a student association one can learn by doing. The areas open for student partici­pation in E.S.A. sponsored projects or clubs range from working on the student newspaper, studying ma­rine life via the marine Club and studying scuba diving with the Scuba Club. In this manner of ac­tive involvement one can learn by

direct association with others and enlarge already existing abilities.

"It's good. But if they use the name CONCORDIA university they should still keep a certain amount of identity for the student as to where he got his degree from !Sir George Campus or Loyola Campus ]. FinanC'iall-y if Lo·yola wouldn 't be able to get funds it needs per student because it is not a university. It gives Sir Geoge a campus.

The reason that the E.S.A. can afford to sponsor such a wide range of student directed activities is that the association this year has suc­ceeded in placing itself on a firm financial footing.''

"This is your association and to assure its viability and to ensure that it represents you, become in­volved even if you only come in to· say hello to other evening students. We're in Room 603."

EDITORIAL Amelioration

Suffering the legitimate claim of labouring under severe internal difficulties, the Evening Students' As­sociation has attempted to isolate what some believe is its most disruptive element· through the suspension of its V. P. External, and the subsequent establishment of a trial proceedure committee to review charges brought to Council's" attention.

t

There are those who applaud the move, believing that · the continuing personal animosities, political in-fighting and charges and counter-charges will resultantly see a rapid end, while others reject the idea that the isolation of only one element will result in a cessation of the diffi­culties which have plagued the association since early summer.

Proussaefs, who has been suspended twice by the ESA this year, refuses to submit to trial by his peers for what is described as 'gross abuses of authority'; he has instead petitioned the university's Dean of Students to examine the legality of the suspension procedure. The Dean's ruling is generally taken as conclusive within the confines of the university.

B~sed upon the best information available however, it appears most likely, as in the past, that the university will permit the ESA to resolve its own internal wrangles.

I

· There are those who claim that-pressure has been brought to bear against the ESA; an association which has been seemingly veering towards trusteeship; and that this eleventh hour move, although strongly objec­ted to by some members of council, may have the conse­quence of permitting the ESA to act as one consular body rather than a group of individuals fragmented by dis­sension.

. At this time in the academic year, it is now without question that the ESA must rapidly niove towards the kind of responsible representation which it and others recognize as both overdue and necessary. The November by-elections are soon to take place.

The next few weeks will provide ample demonstration of just how eff ectiye the ESA' s latest move to ameliorate its internal difficulties will be.

There are thousands of evening students, and other interested observers who await _the outcome.

Many people when they think of philosophy associate it with the activities of mediaev­al scholastics trying to specu­late how many angels could stand on the head of a pin.

NEWS We all know of the parking­

space problem we have here at Loyola. Evening students just do not have the availabil­ity.of parking permits as is nec­essary. A study team came up with the following recom­mendations:

1) An additional 300 eve­ning parking permits be made available for the fall session '73-'74

2) That all parking spaces available for permit holders be clearly identified & that those restricted be clearly identif-ied. ·

3) That parking regula­tions be strictly enfprced by security, personnel, & that in addition, such personnel be· available at all parking access points between the hours of 5 P.M. & 7.15 P.M. to ensure parking regulations are en­forced.

4) That advice regarding permits, parking areas & parking regulations, be widely, circulated in the evening stud-

dertaken to ensure the effect­ive removal of snow during the winter season, minimizing the loss of parking spaces due to the accumulations of snow.

6) That the Terrebonne exit gate be open each evening to reduce traffic congestion at the Broadway exit & reduce the possibility of accidents.

Future Recommendations: 1) That a study committee

consisting of evening and day students & administration examine:

a) past & present reg­istration

b) currently available space

c) Additional possible parking space

d) use of information to determine procession order.

· 2) A clear policy with clear procedures, which will pro­vide for sufficient parking fac­ilities to reasonably meet the projected future require­ments of the day & evening segments of the Loyola com­munity.

3) That thos~ policies & · procedures be prepared & approved for implementation for the summer session 1974.

BUCKMINSTER FULLER. Dimanche soir le 21 octobre 1973, a 8.15 P.M. pile, un vieux monsieur, gesticulateur, d'une acuite d'esprit rare, analogue a celle d'un brillant adolescent en pleine decouverte du monde (rare evenement quand chez l'adulte ceci demeure), mail.re Buckminster Fuller done, apres une bienvenue chaleureuse de la part d'un auditorium bien rempli, commem.;ait une conference d-e-c-o-u-s-u-e. L'ad lib a.son charme, mais, faut-il encore y exceller. Le monsieur a de la matiere pour. entretenir un auditoire, c'est indiscutable, ii est aussi humoriste a ses temps, mais en tant qu'orateur peut-etre, m'inspirant du Principe de Peter a-t-il atteint son point d'incompetence.

.A l'essentiel! Ce que demande Buckminster Fuller a ses compagnons de fortune ou d'infortune, est simpJe: s'ARRETER aux idees, choses, individus et surtout FAIRE FACE. L'emerveillement ne peut que faire suite. Fuller est tres present au mo~de, si prisent qu'il fait preque figure d'echappe de la planete aux non-inities, tellement celaest.peufrequent. Cependant l'impact de sa philosophie s'estquelquepeuattenue. II ya dix ans ii avait entre autres la merite d'etre derangeant. Aujourd'hui la breche est faite. Et pour Jes "happy few" du debut, un embarras face a de la repetition, s'est Dimanche soir, fait sentir. Ceci dit Buckminster Fuller pour la "continuance" heureuse des temps demeure un homme eminemment necessaire. Quelque apperqu de ses dires: -l'etendue des realites qui frappent l'homme a son insu est immense, non moins importante parce qu'a son insu, et la reception effective, inexploitee par ignorance, peur ou negligence. - au stage ou nous (l'humanite) en sommes une constante reinvention de l'homme demeure la seule fa~on de s'epanouir. . · - nous jugeons encore de presque tout en notre siecle 'moderne' avec des criteres d'un autre age. -99.9% de notre agissement total .est inconscient. - le 'hon', le 'mauvais' n'existent que selon la qualite des vibrations de l'homme. Un controle a partir de soi-meme est possible sur les evenements. Un fait est decevant, surtout parce qu'a partir de soi-meme, de ses propres concepts et croyances, un individu le PENSE decevant. - le comportement integral (total behaviour): une chose ardue a assimiler, dans l'etat sectaire actuel de l'humanite. -l'enfant, spontanement synergetique, avec l'avenement de l'ecole experimente la frustration qui consiste a apprendrea, b, c, 1, 2-, 3, 4 au moment ou son esprit univer­se! avide de connaitre, veut etre mieux oriente.

Buckminster Fuller; une prise de conscience pour certains, un rappel pour d'autres, peu de nouveau pour plusieurs quid' ailleurs quitterent a pres environ une heure de jasage.

Pause. The empty space of the - theatre beckons, as an enchantress to any that are caught by her presence. Alone on a stage, one is shaped by the echoes of speeches quickly joined with the last long laugh of a perfectly timed line. Un­der Kleig lights, the costumes of regal periods parade in fancyfull dance about the wings, under the limp lights. The Douglas Burns Clarke theatre at Sir George has all these mystic enticements, and captures hundreds of theatre arts majors each year. For those who are committed to other disciplines, the back-stage entrance of the showplace is an elusive objective in perhaps an all-too fleeting vision.

There has been one avenue of escape from this painful seperation in the past . . The Georgian Players

· for forty years revealed secrets and satisfied stage-lust for many non-professional non-theatre arts people. The casting for its ·productions was previously open to all members of the universal community. The result was a rare mix of people from all faculties banded together for a concrete purpose providing a freshness so often absent in the 100% theatre art's productions. This form of alternate theatre has worked in the pa~t, theatre arts personnel mixing attitudes and techniques with outside people spreading increas~d understanding across the flood­

The Georgian troupe will not play this year. Working with an, at best, limited tolerance from the official theatre arts section of the uriiversity, the club has crumbled under the added stress from the Day Students' Association. This year's play was to be 'The Devils' suggested after Mrs. N. Springfort turned it down for the Theatre Arts section. A core of theatre majors were interested in- staging it through the more informal structure of the Georgian Players. The D.S.A. refus_Ji this. choice of plays, perhaps because it has tired of the historical dramas selected so often. Reasons given were valid, and ranged from the large projected expenses to the difficulty in performing this piece. The Georgian Players were not equip­ped for this r'etusal, having no alternate proposal at hand. The interest of the theatre people was on the play, not the Georgian Players as a troupe.

The 1972-73 reshuffling of the students' clubs from the guardian­ship of the D.S.A. to U.C.S.L. ,(University Council of Student Life) whisked away the spacious Georgian Players offices from the invisible third floor right up to a 'single office' on the tenth floor, and a storage space on the fourth. Community spirit is not facilitated in a closet.

As / a result the Players have recruited few new members, and had no executive to propose alter-lights.

thus a budget could not be obtained. That the Georgian Players will not f_unction this year comes as a relief to many people in the university. The negligence the troupes in the recent past have shown with the facilities was perhaps due to their lack of cohes­iveness. A few dedicated people soon tire of overworking in memory of loyalty to a group spirit long passed. A clique of theatre majors have been running the theatrical club for the last five years. The people have gone their ways leaving only the name above the club's door, and the few props replaced after the five two years ago. Mrs. Springford, in line with what are termed her "rigi~ theatrical ethics" has not encour­aged people in her department to have anythirig to do with the Players. This coldness has sparked rumours that the standing rule restricting use of the theatre to only official productions and rented usage, will not be lent to the Players, as it has always been in the past.

There is a prevailing feeling, that interest in University theatre is waning-. The sixty-five in attend­ance at Players' productions, needed to break even, has not been recently reached.

Scheduled for mid~November, ther plays conflict directly with examination preparation. Fulfilling its charter obligations in providing an amateur production outlet for university students is not enough for a thriving Georgian Players. The theatre's magic must be approached with respect and hard work, each company member must examine his place in relation to both the art and t he community audience.

People who wish to sample the delights and anguish of theatre work in next year's Georgian prod­uction carr leave their names at the CONCORDIAN or D.S:A. offices­the Players office does not even have a phone these days.

"Genisis is Live·"

tSellil1g England by the Pound' by Steve McCulloch

About a year ago, Keith Emerson of "Erner on, Lake and Palmer" dropped a comment about a relatively obscure band called Genesis. In fact he said that he felt them to be one of the best bands around. At this point, I didn't know the band and I wai­ted until a friend of mine bought one of their album just released here .. That night I found myself in a record store shelling out every penny I had for what ever Genesis albums they had.

That was last year. Now I find myself an incurable fan of this band. Emerson was as right as'can be, at any rate, they are better than Emerson, Lake and Palmer. As usual, they are too good to become the superstars that they deserve to be. This is because they can be labelled without "commercial poten­tial." This usually means that their songs are too long, or too good to be of any use on A.IV!. radio, or maybe it is because you have to listen to the music to appreciate it.

Anyway, Genesis seems to be rising in popularity. The reviews that they are getti ng are reminiscent of the reviews another once-obscure band called "Yes" used to ge.t. As the cult continues to grow, the band seems to get better. Mark my words, iJ this band ever breaks, it will take the world by storm.

This brings us to the meat of this article. In the last two months, the band has re­leased two albums. Both are important ones for t he band but in different ways. -Genesis Live serves to provide a sneak preview of how they handle t heir material live. Believe me, it is one of the best live albums ever re­leased. The sound is crisp and clear, the production i top notch, and of course t he band is tight and at their best. It is very hard to believe that these guys could actually do some of their material live. Not only do they do it,, but they do it so well that on some cuts the album oundsasifitwas done in a studio and overdubbed with an applause track. Favourites such as "Watcher of th·e Skies" and "The Musical Box" show the amazing talent of this band. Old Favourites such as

"The Knife", from their first album, show where-they came from.

Their latest album "Selling England by t he Pound" is I believe t heir best effort to date. Here again, the material is non-com­mercial, but as classical-rock, it is certainly a landmark album. This record also seems to show a definite difference in this band . Gone is the predominant organ connecting t he different parts of a song. Most of the keyboards are piano and synthesizer. Maybe Tony Banks had to give his Ham­mond its four million mile checkup. A lot of the bridge are done by the guitarists here. This I hadn't heard on any other album but "Trespass", their first. Indeed the music on this album is reminiscent of such cuts as "Visions of Angels", "Dusk", and "Stagna­tion". Actually, the word for this album is finely textured. Never ra,ucous or loud , this band shows probably the best taste in music coming out of any "classical rock" band today. Complete with the usual strange lyrics, more poetry than song, this album is nothing short of a masterpiece. Such cuts as "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight", "Firth of Fifth", "The Cinema Show" and their se­cond best epic to date (After "Suppers Ready", off Foxtrot) "The Battle of Epping Fore&t" surely rank with the very best classical rock. On the latter cut, Banks seems to have repaid Emerson's compli­ment as the mood sounds heavily reminis­cent of"Abaddons Bolero" (from Triology). For tho e who argue about their classical influences, listen to "After the Ordeal" on Side two. Written as a sort of musical epi­logue to the "Battle of Epping Forest", it is an instrumental that says all it has to say without words: An unusual thing these days.

Unfortunately(?) both the above albums are import at t his time (in fact rumour has it that the live album may never see release in North America.) But, never fear, Genesis will beinMontrealonNovemberlO, to show us t hat they are no fading hope. If Yl• U can, try and catch t hem then at t he Centre Spor-

Football Questionnaire I

Unearthed? THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT IS CONSIDERING BRINGING

FOOTBALL BACK NEXT FALL. THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

by Cameron Grant

When Sir George withdrew their football program from the Q.U.A.A., MacDonald, St. Johns , Sherbrooke and Trois Rivieres suf­fered the aftermath of the decision. Had Sir George announced their de­cision earlier the big three, McGill, Loyola and Bishops could possibly have arranged an independent schedule. As a result of the late an­nouncement the four teams from division two were forced to move up to the first division. They had little choice in the matter as the Q.U.A.A , could not survive with a t hree team division.,

Sir George offered many reasons for dropping out. A general lack of interest.in football, insufficient stu­dent support, terrible accomoda­tionsat Verdun Stadium, an uncom­petitive team and a small budget for footbal l. These and other reasons were bandied about but after discussions with the other coaches in the league, the general consensus seems to be that there was a "lack of communication in the administra­tion."

The impact of Sir George's decis-. ion resounded throughout the

Q.U .A.A. MacDonald , St. John, Sherbrooke and Trois Rivieres came out and did their best. The es­tablished strong teams demolished the new teams but learned to res­pect those weak teams and their coaches for their efforts.

This eason has been a bad ex­perience for the league . Several coaches believe that the present situation is destroying football and must not be permitted to continue. Coach Hessernan from Sherbrooke stated , 'Tm not interested in pla­ying the strong teams next year be-

ATHLETIC PASSES Athletic passes to all Georgian home games are presently on sale at the Athletics Office, 2160 Bishop St. The passes sell for $5.00 for stu­dents and staff and $Hi.OO for the general pyblic. Purchase of the pass involves a considerable saving over

App lication forms are available at the Athletics Office for ski lessons starting Jan. 9th at Mont Habitant. The package includes lifts and les­sons for ten consecutive weeks. The le sons last for 21/z hours. Total price of the package is $50.00.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL There have been some peculiar hap­penings in the women's basketball program. The team consisted of eight girls keen on playing basket­ball although they have been losing by margins of greater than 60 points every time they play. Although the team is by no means in serious con­te ntion for anything but last place, Coach Olga has played the role of a coach in contention and cut one of the more enthusiastic but less talented players. There are now only seven girls on the team, hardly sufficient to run the gamut of fouls and injuries which are part of the game. How can Olga wimper about quitters and such if she turns around and cuts enthusiastic pla­yers?

cause we're not ready." It has also been rumored that St. Johns CMR will leave but assistant coach Mel­nechuk says there is no present an­nouncement as to their future

Coach Anderson from Mac­Donald is being forced out of the league next year by the CEGEP ru­ling. Coach Deshaies of Trois Ri­vieres says that it will be years be­fore his school is competitive. Coach Baillie of McGill believes that for a · league to prosper, each team must be competitive but equality cannot be achieved overnight. Mr. Coulter from Bishops agrees with the McGill coach and expects the league to return to the two division sys­tem. Coach Daigneault would like to see another year attempted before the experiment is scrapped.

All seven coaches in the league have stated their sincere hopes of seeing Sir George back in the league again next year. Coaches Baillie, Coulter and Daigneault have sug­geJted resolutions for the existing problems at Sir George, and have offered to be of assistance, but the big decision rests in the hands of t he Administration of Sir George with Athletics Director George Short capable of affecting the balance.

Coaches Deshaies, Anderson, Hessernan and Melnechuk have all done their be~t irregardless of the scarcity of players they have had to work with. If Sir George should re­turn next year, theQ.U.A.A. foot­ball league should be able to steady itself. ,

The student body at Sir George can affect the final decision by res­ponse to the forms appearing on this page. If there is a good response to the questionnaire, football could very well return to Sir George.

a Breeze! When the competition is sharp

and the arena is full, the Georgians are probably one of the most exci-

-ting college hockey teams in Canada. They combine some of the swifter skaters in the league, with a few stickhandling artists and top their performance off with a liberal amount of the physical stuff to keep their audiences totaJly engrossed in the action.

When the competition is below par though, or the arena is empty, the Georgians seem to exclude the finer points of their game and ­simply perform the necessary motions to insure a cut and dried win.

Queens appeared to be a fair team on Saturday. At least, better than average. Their coach did stress the fact that five of his starters were

· still back at Queens in the thick of the football season. The starting goalie made some superb saves on just about every Georgian forward. Leroy, a transfer from the perennial Canadian champions, the Toronto Blues, added credibility to their blue line corps. A few husky forwards hinted at the fact that they could mix it up if the going got rough. All in all a fair team. Then why didn't the Georgians take the)ll

out to see the game and,half of them were from Queens. Verdun Audi­torium was silent exce,pt for the oc~ ca ional whistle.

It was just one of those games when the Georgians set aside the crowd pleasing frills and settled down to the task at hand with businesslike procedure.

Rory McKay handled a hefty por: tion of the scoring, notching only his econd hat-trick in two games. Ifhe

can continue his exhibition pace through the r0gular season it boggles the imagination to think of what he cou ld d-> to the league. Bel­land scored a pair of goals, flexing some of the Sudbury muscle. Dufort collected one goal which he earned with a great deal of hustle. Bernie Wolfe had another outstanding game, comfortably handling 26 of the 28 shots directed at him. Devereux outshone his fellow blue­liners and managed to cut off most of the erious Queeos threats.

The Georgians earned an easy win over the Queens team as the final score of 6-2 showed . Some­.how though it just wasn't the Geor­gians that wowed the fans in the Atlantic provinces. It was more like a waterP.d down version of the team that started their exhibition season on the wrong foot. This Friday they will be having a rematch with the Warriors at Verdun stadium and there the crowd pleasing style which won acclaim in the Maritimes will be in evidence.

McGill

Undefeated

The undefeated McGill Red­men snuffed out any Loyola hopes of a playoff spot this Saturday by posting a 37-0 win over the Warriors. Loyola needed a win to finish in second place and earn­another shot at the Redmen in post-se_ason play, but the tough McGill defense held the Warrior offense at bay while the potent McGill offense went a out their business with professional ef­ficiency. The loss dropped the Warriors into third spot behind the University of Quebec-Trois Rivieres Patriotes.

Next weekend the Redmen will meet the Patriotes at McGill in sudden death action to decide which will represent Quebec in the Western Bowl the following week-end. The outcome of the play-off is a forgone conclusion. The Patriotes are no match for the Redmen and the final result will be lopsided McGill win.

Don Cowie won the Q.U.A.A. scoring title on a three yard dive edging teammateross Brookes by six points for the honour. Other majors were contributed to the McGill cause by Lapkovsky· who garnered a pair while Brian Quick carried a pass interception iorty-eigbt yards to round out the McGill effort. Kelly kicked three field goals and converted all four touchdowns.

In other Q.U.A'.A. action MacDonald thumped Sherbrooke 37-1 while UQTR blanked CMR 27-0.

Under the Rug with Alex Marian

This week we turn our carpet­cleaning column under the rug in Women's Basketball. It seems that the coach of the squad cut one of her players last week which is a perfectly normal thing for a coach to do. Only problem is that the Stealers are only blessed with seven players which has now been scythed to six. Kind of a funny move on the coach's part consid­ering you need five players on the basketball court at all times. Not allowing much room for injuries, foul-outs and needed breathers, are you, Coach Olga? And still on Women's Basketball a reporter down at the other newspaper, Rosemary Strati, who also happens to play on the team, used her position as a writer (?) to take a pretty kuncalled-for cut at several ex-players on the Stealer team. Not too responsible a move by either Strati or her editor down there.

More ·under-the-rug sports take place every day at Birks Hall in t he Norris Building where this uni-

versity's intramurals take place. Not too many people have begun to show up for the floor-hockey and basketball yet but with the addition of shower facilities this week, more interest should begin to generate. My sports editor, Doug Cully, is kind of proud that this two-man blonde showboat squad (with Drew Morris missing that opener( won their initial game of the year 10-8 last week.

Very early reports filtering back from the Ports Illustrated Baseball League have it that rookie manager Robert Pryslak will be the brain to beat in this year's circuit. The Grapefruit League schedule for the beginning of this week follows,as released by Umpire-in­Chief Doug Cully and agreed to by Drew Morris. All those who cannot make any one of the scheduled dates is , to phone Rob Jadah at 879-4585 for alternate arrang­ments. Everyone is asked to make their first game at least to pick up the longer schedule.
