But the playoff situation was beclotided tonight . by Imperials‘ action in playing Henry (Hi) Liv- 1118. whom the O, R. F. U. Ex- ecutive had ordered out of oom- petitlon until charges concerning his eligibility were cleared up.

The giant snapbeck. whose work featured against Orfuns, was charged in information given to the Union Ehrecutiive Thursday night with being ineligible under the Canadian Rugby Union residence

rule.

Advised Living had been played despite telephoned orders to Sec- Ode of Imperials that he was to be kept out of the game. President John DeGr-uch said in Toronto that "Impexials will have to answer for it at a meeting of the executive Sunday-—- it. is too bad they took that action." ~

Living played a leading role in Bernie's one-sided victory —re- venge for the upset licking Im- perials took from Orfuns 1n Peter- borough three weeks ago. The Im- perlal ‘centre started the scoring by recovering a Peterborough fumble in the first; minute. paving the way for Hugh (Bummer) Stir1ing’s touchdown.
