J. Stewart McWilliams, attorney for tailback Lynn Williams, said, "It just didn't make a difference if he (Dyck) was listed. Initially, we had him on there to make sure that we included the certifying process in the suit."
Dyck said yesterday that he had no comment on the developments.
Concerning Certain, McWilliams said, "If, in fact, we win and succeed in gaining our remedies, be still wouldn't be eligible to play."
Certain could not be reached for comment
Judge Woodsworth in an order filed at 5:10 p.m. yesterday in the court said that Williams and Griffin were eligible to play college football, subject to head football coach Mike Gottfried's discretion.

Hunter said he planned to meet with Gottfried this.morning.
Attorneys for both sides of the suit said they did not know when the trial would be rescheduled.
'nere are several procedures, including acquiring pre-trial depositions, to go through before both sides are ready.' Collister said.
McWilliams said, "We will have our day in court."
Concerning Williams, he said, "I wouldn't say it's a victory, but he's in better shape than he was this time last week.
"After last Friday, the University didn't have to play him. Now, it's up to the coach's discretion to play him."

The 20th-day combined total for the Lawrence campus and off-campus programs also set a record of 24,744, passing the previous record of 24,466 in 1980
The figure rose 308 students or 1.26 percent from last year's 24.436 students in the Lawrence campus and off-campus programs.

Students on the KU Committee on South Africa recently requested University money for travel expenses to a convention in November but decided to refuse any money they may receive because the Kansas University Endowment Association provides it.
Jane Ungerman, Lawrence senior and member of the Committee, said yesterday that some members of the Committee planned to attend the Progressive Student Network convention in Chicago.
Ungerman said she submitted a request to David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, for $300 about three weeks ago which included details of the trip and reasons for financing.
"I found out that funds were available for students to put toward traveling expenses," Ungerman said.
Ungerman said she had not heard yet whether the University would offer the students any money.
However, a few days after submitting the request, she said, the group discovered that the money for the Association from the Endowment Association
The group probably would have accepted money from other sources, she said, but in this case it will pay for its own expenses.
"The Endowment Association was not willing to talk to us." Ungerman said. "We protested at their front door and asked them why it justly taking money from them."
Ambler said yesterday that the Endowment Association provided the funds to help student groups with special projects.
"The fund is used to enrich student activities." Ambler said.
Students can request money to attend academic conventions or meetings, he said.
Steve Menaugh, public relations director for the Endowment Association, said the money came from the Endowment Association's unrestricted fund.
Yesterday afternoon, before the Endowment Association knew of the Committee's decision, Menaugh had made a comment about the Commissioner's request.
Students working toward the same goals can exchange ideas and support each other, she said. This enables students to keep in touch with activism on other campuses.
The Progressive Student Network comprises groups of students across the country interested in progressive and social issues, Ungerman said.
The convention will include speakers and workshops, she said, and the focus may be on South Africa.

Johnny had come marching home and up the slopes of Mount Oread, ready to trade the weapons of war for tools of learning.
It was the autumn of 1946.
Gloria was threatening the Carolinas, and a hurricane watch was posted from South Carolina to Virginia. The watch included North Carolina's vulnerable barrier islands, where campers have begun evacuating.
Gloria set to pound East Coast
MANTEO, N.C. — Hurricane Gloria, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the open Atlantic, spared the Bahamas and headed for the East Coast yesterday as it spit across the sea with 135 mph winds.
Although the storm, which had packed 150 mph winds, weakened last night, emergency plans were drafted and residents were warned to keep track of Gloria in other coastal areas.
The KU student population had burgeoned to more the... 9,000 that fall from 5,300 in the spring.
But when the last of the ticker tape to welcome him home had fluttered to the ground, Johnny needed a place to sleep.
Before weakening, the 300-milewide hurricane had been ranked as a
