FROM WATERLOO LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY WATERLOO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE — WATERLOO LUTHERAN SEMINARY 75 UNIVERSITY AVENUE, WATERLOO, ONTARIO, CANADA TELEPHONE: AREA CODE 519, 744-8141 102-1968 Gerry McLoughlin September 24, 1968 For Immediate Release Carleton Visits Seagram Stadium For League Opener Friday, September 27 This Friday evening, Sept. 27, the Carleton University Ravens from Ottawa will visit Seagram Stadium for what will be the league opener for both the Waterloo Lutheran University Golden Hawks and the Ravens. The Golden Hawks will be looking to improve on their past performances in which they lost two close contests, one to the University of Manitoba Bisons and one to the University of Waterloo Warriors. In the game with the Bisons the Golden Hawks moved into a 13-0 lead on touchdowns by Bob McGregor and John Skinner. However, they lost their momentum and Manitoba rallied for a 15-13 victory. In the game with the Warriors this past Saturday the Hawks came from behind an 8-0 defecit and tied the score at the half by virtue of a touchdown by Doug Strong and single points by John Kruspe and Paul Grey. WLU had shown signs of coming on real strong. They were overpowering the Warriors in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and moved into the last period holding a 10-8 lead. However, the Hawks stopped taking the play to the Warriors and a 4th quarter touchdown by the University of Waterloo proved to be the margin of victory. - more - . 2 Head Coach Dave Knight, though perplexed over two straight losses, feels his team is maturing to a peak for the league opener. He feels that returning lettermen such as halfback John Kruspe and guard Mike McMahon along with promising rookies such as guard Dave Tartaglia and linebacker Rob McComb will balance the team. If the squad can avoid serious injuries, the Hawks should be first division contenders this season in the Central Canada intercollegiate Football Conference. Head coach Keith Harris of the Carleton Ravens regards all matches in the C.C.I.F.C. as sudden death play-off games. Every contest is so very important for most teams never have the opportunity to play a return match with an opponent in which they might rectify an earlier season loss. This season the Ravens, who finished third in the C.C.I.F.C. in 1967 with 5 wins and two losses, are strong in depth in both offensive and defensive backs according to Coach Harris. Returning lettermen such as guard Mike Landry and fullback Gary Lamourie make the season appear very promising for the Ravens. Game time Friday is at 8 p.m. at Seagram Stadium. The contest should be a demanding one for both the Golden Hawks and the Ravens. - 30 -.
