FOOTBALL: HART FORFEITS OPENER : INELIGIBLE PLAYER APPEARED IN GAME.


Byline: Lee Barnathan Daily News Staff Writer

Hart High's football team, ranked No. 1 by the Daily News and the Southern Section, will have to forfeit To lose to another person or to the state some privilege, right, or property due to the commission of an error, an offense, or a crime, a breach of contract, or a neglect of duty; to subject property to confiscation; or to become liable for the payment of a penalty, as the result of a  its opening-week victory at Quartz Hill for using an ineligible in·el·i·gi·ble

 player, coach Mike Herrington said.

Herrington said this is the first time in his 18 years of being associated with Hart that the Indians have had to forfeit a game.

Herrington said the player, a seldom-used receiver whom Herrington declined to name, has a grade-point average of less than the minimum 2.0. The player appeared in the last five plays of the 49-13 victory but wasn't involved in any play.

Still, being on the field means he participated, Herrington said.

,'' Herrington said. ``Now, I'm the idiot coach. It's all my fault.''

Herrington said only when he noticed the player on the game tape did it occur to him he might not have checked the player's eligibility.

``This kid missed a lot of spring and the beginning of summer,'' Herrington said. ``I didn't have him on the list when grade checks came out in late June. I caught three (other) kids. One became eligible.''

Herrington called the Southern Section office and Quartz Hill coach John Albee.

``It's too unfortunate for him,'' Albee said. ``It doesn't make any difference. We got beat on the field.''

Under Southern Section rules, an ineligible player can practice and be in uniform on Friday nights.

Linebacker Pat Norton said Herrington told the team at brunch Thursday morning but didn't identify the player.

``He apologized for his mistake. It's just one of those things,'' Norton said. ``You can't take it to heart. It's not going to crush crush

The loss ends Hart's hopes Hart's Hope (1983) is a novel by the prolific science fiction author Orson Scott Card, set in a semi-medieval fantasy world. It was written before his much more widely-known novel Ender's Game (1985) and is relatively obscure, although some believe it should be given much  of an undefeated season, which it has never had. Herrington said he thought this could be the year the team goes 14-0 (10 regular-season wins plus four in the playoffs), but if the team wins all of its remaining games, beginning with tonight's 7:30 p.m. home opener against Thousand Oaks Thousand Oaks, residential city (1990 pop. 104,352), Ventura co., S Calif., in a farm area; inc. 1964.

Linebacker Scott Hunt said he feels the same way.
