PAGE 26 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1984 That was a few years ago and now they‘re in a position where they have to try and do it again. Hawks suffered their third straight loss in the Ontario Universities Athletic Association as they were whipped 16â€"0 by York Yeomen before their homecoming crowd Saturday afternoon at Seagram Stadium. It marked the first time Yeomen have ever won three consecutive games and they have given up only eight points so far this season in doing so. We knew they were physical from last year and I think York will beat Toronto (Thursday). They just don‘t make many mistakes." Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staff ‘"‘They (Yeomen) beat us everywhere...and they were a lot more physical," said Rich Newbrough, who is still looking for his first win as WLU head coach succeeding Dave (Tuffy) Knight. Once upon a time, Wilfrid Laurier‘s foo‘ball Golden Hawks made the playoffs by winning their last four games after losing their first three. A pair of first quarter fumbles hurt Laurier‘s early chances, especially Rob Pecora‘s fumble on the York 15â€"yardâ€"line. Later, Dave Lovegrove fumbled on a punt return. Yeomen led 80 at halftime on a pair of field goals and single points by Mike Boyd. The longest of Boyd‘s singles was 37 yards. York‘s touchdown came in the fourth quarter when Steve Delzotto scampered into the endzone on a 45â€"yard passâ€"andâ€"run from quarterback Tino Iacona. ‘ Earlier, Hawks had been stopped on downs after a thirdâ€"andâ€"inches play failed at York‘s fiveâ€"yard line. No need for words Score says it all in Marauder romp ‘"Rybansky‘s thigh was not up to snuff and we decided to keep him out," said Newbrough. "I don‘t know if he would have run the ball any tougher than Pecora did, but 1 doubt it." Whether they needed it or not, University of Waterloo Warriors were served with a reminder Friday night of just how much trouble they‘re in in this Ontario Universities Athletic Association football season. Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staff Filling in for the injured Randy Rybansky, Pecora was Hawk‘s leading rusher with 87 yards in 24 carries. Hawks were unable to solve York‘s tough defence and managed just 178 yards net offence. Quarterback Mike Wilson hit on eight of 17 passes for 55 yards. For York, lacono was good on 10 of 19 passes for 210 yards. Yeomen had a net offence of 312 yards.

Rob Kent got the UW major in the second quarter when he recovered a McMaster fumble of a quick kick. However, the lights at Seagram Stadium could have been turned off after the first quarter as Marauders scored points the first six times they had the ball to lead 32â€"0 at the time. All told, Marauders scored eight touchdowns with two of them going to Steve Malizia. Clorindo Grilli, Mark Horvath, Chris Stanley, Kevin Elisworth, Brian Jarvis and Reece Papin had the other majors. Marauders eventually brought a large number of second string players into the game, but totally dominated with 481 yards total offence compared to 60 for UW. Quarterback Phil Scarfone had 172 yards passing before he left late in the first half with a suspected broken jaw. He was replaced by Steve Friesen. Running back Dario Pretto led Warriors‘ offence with 27 yards in 11 carries and he also caught a nineâ€"yard _ _Warriors‘ next start is a road game against University of Guelph Gryphons Thursday at 7. Warriors were without their number one quarterback, Drew Zehr, who didn‘t dress due to a rib injury. Tony lanterno was the Waterlioo quarterback. Marauders outrushed Warriors 272 yards to 43, led by Malizia‘s 110 yards in 10 carries. Richerd O‘Brien photo
