"The tie that binds since 1926" WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1,1997 wlu StudentPublications the VOLUME XXXVIII • ISSUE EIGHT Cord Second halfcollapse Hawks Homecoming ends in 39-10 loss to Guelph

MIKE MCKENNA Cord Sports "We have to execute. We can't miss tackles all day and turn the ball over five times and expect to beat a team like Guelph." These words from Head Football Coach Rick Zmich after his team fal- tered yet again in the second half. The Hawks fell 39-10 to the Guelph Gryphons, much to the dis- pleasure of the Homecoming crowd of over 3,000 at University Stadium on Saturday. With the loss, the Hawks sit at 1- 3, their playoff aspirations becoming more distant. Three teams now sit at 4-0, and the Hawks will need to overtake the 4th place Waterloo Warriors ifthey plan on being in the postseason this year. Scoring opened early Guelph opened the scoring early in the first quarter after some tough Hawk defense down low stalled the Gryphon drive at the 8 yard line. They were forced to settle for a Krystian Stringer field goal making it 3-0. The Hawks were able to take a KEENAN 7-3 lead after a blocked field goal set up a 53 yard pass and run play between Kevin Taylor and Brian SHAWN McClure, resulting in McClure's third touchdown of the season.
