How much can Warriors improve? â€" m-z.hhrloun.

We could have had so many bitches and complaints, but aside from a muddy field, the biggest problem has been pulled groins." With a solid crop of returnees and key replacements in other crucial areas, Delahey is optimistic a few breaks here and there plus a touch more intensity on the part of his troops can:â€"turn around decisions Warriors came out on the short end of last season. Witness their 10â€"8 and 14â€"13 losses to McMaster and Laurier respectively. **No, we never really were that far out of it last year, maybe our positive attitude will make that bit of difference this year." With most of Warriors‘ modest 1980 offense centered around departed southpaw Bob Pronyk, one would think Delahey et al would be frantic about his replacement. But Bluevale Collegiate grad Stan Chelmecki, a transfer from Laurier who sat out last year, has taken the bull by the horns and has grabbed the No. 1 pivot spot *‘Stan‘s done a super job for us so far, although it will take game conditions to tell the real tale," said the top man. ‘"He‘s just taken complete command, he‘s durable and has that quickness about him that‘ll be an asset for And should Chelmecki feel the heat too much, rookie George Goertz out of Eastwood will step in. A trifle nervous in the early going, Goertz is now showing the stuff that made him such a valuable Twin City high Like last year, Delahey and Warriors are faced with a lack of depth along the offensive line, which could cause problems. But armed with that knowledge unlike last season when injuries devastated the front wall, the club can better prepare for the situation this year. If a capable replacement can be found for versatile tight end grad Bill Boug, and indications are that one will, things Delahey raves about his size and mobility Classes begin: Saturday, September 19, and run until June, 1982 Fees: , $20 per child, $40 per family Aduit Courses: English will also be offered for parents of Greek children attending Greek School Fees: $30 for 32 weeks For further information contact: Leo Mitchell, Laurentian Public School, 578â€"6160 or Dr. Victoros, 743â€"2142 Register: at the school, Saturday, September 12, 9:00 â€" 11:30 a.m. The Waterloo County Board of: Education Saturday Morning Heritage Language School in Greek SPEND SOME TIME WITH US for Elementary School Age Children Howard Robertson Public School 60 Morgan Street, Kitchener at could be exciting for the Warrior offense. Yes, we‘re hoping to do alot of things offensively, the big thing is we‘re ready to play since we‘ve had the longest camp in a while," pointed out Delahey. ‘"We‘ve had a full two weeks, we‘ve got most of our playbook covered now where last year we were well into our second game preparations before we were ready. I‘d like to think we have the capabilities of an explosive offense both passing and running if we can get it all together." Defensively, Warriors had the fifth best record in the league last year, and Christmas came early with the news over the summer that defensive end Rob Logan and stalwart defensive back Rob Sommerville would both be returning. UW‘s inspirational leader on defense last year, the invaluable Frank Kosec, is with Calgary Stampeders now, but Delahey says the play of secondâ€"year man Rob Dobrik at linebacker makes him breathe much easier. **With so few down lineman we‘re a linebackingâ€"orientâ€" ed club and we‘re every bit convinced Rob (Dobrik) is going to be another Frank Kosec. We‘re sure he‘s going to have a heck of a year. Perplexingly, where Warriors fell down last year was not against the league powerhouses, but against clubs like Mac and Guelph. His club‘s play at times must have had Delahey pulling his hair out by the roots, but on other occasions, gutsy efforts allowed them to topple York, tie No. 1â€"r@ Laurier. ‘‘We‘ve got the big four (Western, Windsor, Laurier, Toronto) at home this year, if that makes any difference, but you still have to go out and play the game," said the personable coach. ‘"But the longer camp has helped, we‘re ready to play. . Warriors travel to Carleton this Saturday to play Ravens in an exhibition game, then open at home one week from Saturday against Windsor. ‘"I think we‘ll see the same Windsor stuff as in the past, they‘ve got a bunch of tough kids, actually I‘m looking forward to opening against them, maybe capitalize on their earlyâ€"season mistakes." h.
