The soccer squad received
some sad news last week when
they found that one player, Gerry
Staples, was not eligible to play.
The age limit for junior soccer
is under 16 by the beginning of
September. Staples was sixteen
in June and overage.
He played in the season opener
against Northwestern and the rule
book states that if a team uses a
player that is overage, they forgeit
the game.
However, no decision has been
made as yet by the committee in •

game may stand as a Seaforth vic-
tory.
The committee has the right ,
to reverse any prior dedision and
