Artificial turf benefits a team with speed, one that is able to take advantage of the solid footing that turf provides by de­ signing quick-hitting, fast-moving plays. Players who rely on their quickness, such as Golden Hawk tailback Peter Hwang, will certainly enjoy the chang~ ~o more muck­ ing around on a soggy, slippery field. Past turf experiences have been mixed, with the Hawks winning the Vanier Cup on the carpet at Sky Dome in 1991 while losing to the Toronto Varsity 131ues on the same field in last year's OUAA playoffs. One problem with the turf is the poten­ tial for injuries. The increased traction that turf provides has been known to keep an athlete's foot in place while the rest of the body is moving in another direction. The result is a muscle strain or sprain at best, torn tendons and ligaments at worst. How­ ever, it is commonly thought that the high number of turf-related injuries that many pro sports have experienced is directly related to the size, strength and speed of high level pro athletes Specifically, an injury occurs when the athlete exerts a tremendous amount of pressure on a leg Construction Is already underway to remove the natural grass and replace It with turf. that has become ''stuck'' in place on the turf.
