And when they finalâ€" ly overcame the early 14â€"3 deficit to go ahead 19â€"15 in the third quarter, they gave Marauders a second chance with a contactâ€" ing the kicker penalty and Marauders used the new series of downs for their third major, the one that put them ahead to stay. In order, up to that point, Marauders had touchdowns from Brian Jarvis, Steve Malizia and Clorindo Grilli. Hawks had two majors from Paul Nastasiuk on the pass and run with other points comâ€" ing from kicker Roy Kurtz. turned over the ball four times on fumbles and three times on inâ€" Malizia then added two more majors and Jarvis had one more to bury the Hawks, who Besides the turnâ€" overs, Hawks were surprised that quarterâ€" Randy Rybansky made the score more respectable with the final touchdown of the day on a oneâ€"yard run. Rybansky then ran for the twoâ€"point convert. He finished with 166 yards on 23 carries. ‘"I thought Rybansky If Hawks were havâ€" ing defensive troubles from the start, their problems were comâ€" pounded when inside linebacker Alex Troop was injured in the secâ€" ond quarter. ‘*Secondly, I think we made too many misâ€" takes to win the footâ€" ball game." back Phil Scarfone, a respected passer, could engineer such a strong running game for McMaster. ‘"First of all." said Hawk coach Dave (Tuffy) Knight, 1 think they dominated our offensive line. 1 guess we were so conâ€" scious of the pass we forgot about the run. For the first time this season, Troop was used on a specialty team. He suffered an ankle injuâ€" ry when clipped on a punt and didn‘t return. Nastasiuk had two receptions, both for touchdowns.

Second guessing will go on in all cities where university football is played and there is some of it in Waâ€" terloo. Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staff Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks placed siz players on the Ontario Universities Athletic Association allâ€"star football squad and Universiâ€" ty of Waterloo Warriors added one, following a vote counted Sunday. But, as is often the case in allâ€"star selections, those who are left off the list can be conspicuous by their abâ€" sence. In a nutshell, Warriors coach Bob McKillop thought crosstown rival coach Dave (Tuffy) Knight should have been coach of the year. Knight, meanwhile, was disappointed that his fullback, Randy Rybansky, reâ€" ceived no recognition. *"I don‘t know how you can have the number two and three rushers (Nastasiuk and Rybansky, in that order) off the first team," said Knight, who added thai Rybansky gained the tough yards up the middle for Laurier. "I think Randy should have been an allâ€"star. I was looking at some films today (Tuesday) and I think he‘s allâ€"Canadian and I‘m disapâ€" pointed he didn‘t do better. Secondâ€"guessing follows release of OUAA football allâ€"star squads Meanwhile, McKilliop thought Knight deserved coach of the year honors for bringing his team from a 3â€"4 record last season to the number one national ranking this year. ‘"I wouldn‘t have been upset if Rybansky had been first allâ€"star with Nastasiuk on the second team." **You‘ve got to hand it to Tuffy," said McKillop. "I give Tuffy and his coaching staff full credit." McKillop also felt that two of his players who made the second team deserved to be selected to the first team. They are offensive tackle Shane Gormley and outside lineâ€" backer Rob Dobrik. "I thought Gormley had another great year," said McKillop. "Everyâ€" game, he has to play against the other team‘s allâ€"star and he continâ€" ually does a job. Making the first team offence for Laurier were centre Nolan Duke, guard Todd Turnbull and tackle Kris Keillor. Inside linebacker Alex Troop and punter Roy Kurtz made the defensive team along with lineâ€" man Dave Waud. For Warriors, slot back Art Heier was a first team selection. Warriors also had guard Mike Brzozowski, wide reciever Gary Garbut, quarâ€" terback Stan Chelmecki and defenâ€" sive backs Mike White and Kevin Adams joining Gormley and Doâ€" brik on the second team. **Dobrik (also) had a great year. He led our defence." Laurier defensive back Dave Loâ€" vegrove joined Nastasiuk on the second team.
