Friends Forfeits Four Games Over Eligibility Issue
Friends University forfeits four basketball games after an ineligible player, Earl Lewis, was used in the last four games. The KCAC rule required 24 hours of credit in prior terms. Lewis had 3 hours in the summer and 12 in fall at Friends, but had a spring enrollment at Oklahoma Christian with 21 days attended before dropping out, creating an academic semester without credit.
