PAGE 22 â€" WATERLOOQ CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1983 Chronicle Staff After Wilfrid Laurier University basketball Golden Hawks were trampled in the overtime thriller a week ago Tuesday, it‘s understandable that they would still be in shock on Friday. . Richard O‘Brien Hawks had come within one second of upsetting University of Waterloo Warriors Tuesday, only to lose 96â€"84 after Steve Atkin‘s shot from the perimeter forced overtime. Still feeling the effects of that loss, Hawks travelled to Hamilton, where they lost 76â€"61 to the McMaster Marauders while playing below the standards they‘ve set for themselves lately. Doug Aitchison led Hawks with 12 points, one better than Pat Keane. Steve Forden, Dave Byck and Enzo Piazza each had eight points. "We hadn‘t recovered from Waterloo yet," said Laurier coach Chris Coulthard. ‘"We were trying but it just wasn‘t there. ‘*Hopefully, it‘s out of our system now."‘ Hawks, who now have a 4â€"6 record in the Ontario Universities Athletic Association west division, trailed Marauders 32â€"24 at halftime. Jim Hoyle scored 22 for Marauders while Tony Sterling added 13 and Ned Janjic had 12. In their previous start, Hawks were unable to hold a 14 point lead as Warriors launched a furious comeback in the final five minutes of regulation time. Aitchinson paced Laurier, scoring 21 points. Keane added 14 while Dave Byck had 12 and Steve Forden finished in double figures with 11. "The turning point was when Waterloo pressed us and we didn‘t handle it," Coulthard said. Atkin, the driving force behind the comeback, finished with 29 points and Peter Savich had 24, the result of a strong finish on his part. Paul Van Oorschot scored 15 and Phil Jarrett, 14. "That was the best comeback I‘ve ever been involved in as a player or coach," said Don McCrae, the muchâ€"relieved Warrior coach. Warriors hosted McMaster yesterday (Tuesâ€" day) and meet Athletes in Action tonight at 8 p.m. in the Mike Moser Memorial game at the physical activities complex. Laurier also played yesterday, hosting Westâ€" ern. Next start for the Hawks is Saturday when they travel to St. Catharines to meet the Brock Badgers. Friday, Warriors travel to London to meet the Western Mustangs. Tough loss to UW Warriors not easy for Hawks to shake Tigers lack key to 1983 door Now the bad news â€" while the organization would like to be on comfortable cruise control, there is this problem of having no one to turn the ignition â€" in fact, there‘s no one in the front seat at all. As far as the foundation and underlying structure of the Interâ€"County Major Baseball League team is concerned, things have never been in better shape. Not too many teams, in any league anywhere, have been known to be a success without a general manager, field manager and some additional player strength â€" and that is the void Tigers hope to fill soon as they face the league‘s Friday deadline for entry fees. Chronicle Staft Tiger president Paul Puncher, whose most constant companion over the winter months has been Ma Bell, has tried six ways to Sunday to solve baseball‘s version of Rubik‘s Cube, but his options are few and far between in the competitive market. Quickly now â€" what has been Waterloo Tigers‘ biggest catch in their modernâ€"day baseball history? Don‘t bother trying to figure it out. It hasn‘t been made yet. In fact, the only "catch‘"‘ worthy of note at this juncture is the Catch 22 surrounding the club. Last season Tigers initially were piloted by Gary Jeffries, who resigned towards the end of the year w& replaced by import pitcher Dan Smith. When Smi workload obviously began affecting his onâ€"field perforâ€" Seek GM and field manager Warriors‘ Bob Urosevic seems to be pleading not guilty of knocking down Laurier‘s Mark Polischuk, but Polischuk and Steve Atkin appear more interested in the flight of the ball. Meanwhile, at right Warrior Paul Boyce is triple teamed, but appears to have found someone to pass to beyond Laurier‘s Dave Byck. Aiso guarding Boyce are Enzo Piazza and Doug Aitchison (middle). Richara 0‘Brien photos Super Skate performers finish high mance, Tigers acquired the services of longâ€"time baseball man Bob Schnurr Sr._who juiced the club up for an outstanding playoff performance before a semiâ€"final exit to Toronto. However, reports indicate Schnurr was doing his best to help out in a pinch and wasn‘t prepared to take on the club for an entire season. Whether that changes or not remains to be seen. "The stability and cohesive effort put forth at the end of last season and the dedication of the players and field manager Bob Schnurr gives rise to a lot of optimism,"‘ said Puncher. vr"‘;\"t"l]-nâ€"é'pré;é;lt_ time, we are pursuing people we feel are competent and qualified to ensure the organization is a viable entity on the field. _ _ â€" â€" "I think the current economic situation puts a great deal of pressure on people, and makes a commitment to baseball an onerous one, but nevertheless we remain confident those (types of) people will come forward to assist us." Ironically, at a time when many organizations are feeling the crunch structureâ€"wise, Tigers have actually spent the winter buffing up their promotional and offâ€"field activities. _ The club is planning a special raffie with coupons for $1 off at Sam the Record Man in Kitchener, bingos are slated to begin in April to raise money to support the club, season tickets are being printed, the summer clinic for local youngsters is well into its planning stages, and a promotional agreement with residents of John Hobbins and Kathy Mudie each reâ€" corded two firsts and one second place finish to lead the Super Skate Seven Roller Skating Club at the sixth annuâ€" al ‘"Valentine" Invitaâ€" tional meet in Missisâ€" sauga Saturday and Sunday. Hobbins took firsts in Tigers are scheduled to open their home season Sunday, May 15 at 2 p.m. against Kitchener Panthers. Their next home game, Monday, May 23 is slated to start at 5 p.m. followed by the fireworks display. Lincoln Village, the closest subdivision to Bechtel Park, is being worked out for a superb Victoria Day fireworks extravaganza. The gravity of the present situation must not be underestimated, however. ‘"There is an industrious effort on th‘ part of our executive underway to recruit the most capable people (management and players) of which we feel there are many right in the city of Waterloo," said Puncher. Notes: To quash any rumors, Tiger president Paul Puncher indicated that the senior club will take over control of the Junior Expos and that they will most certainly operate in 1983. Talks are onâ€"going with particular parties re management of the club, and coach Don Oberholzer is expected back in the fold. Puncher indicated former president and GM Nels Grigg and treasurer Joe Stump{f will be invited to help out any way they can ... Speaking of rumors, expect to hear shortly the signing of former Tiger manager Gary Jeffries as field manager of Kitchener Panthers, who have also been shopping. f "The executive feels strongly the club must be a source of credibility and pride to our city; we‘re prepared to carry on only if this goal can be realized through a properlyâ€"structured organization." . advanced loops and senior solo dance and was second in junâ€" ior/senior figures while Mudie won sophâ€" omore figures and senâ€" ior solo dance while placing .in s ubâ€" sophomore figures.
