Counting On Islanders

WHEN ST. DI’NS] tN'S L‘nu‘ersrtv Saints take of it against Stadacona Sailors herr- Oct. El in their first :tlanedg Football Conference clash of the season. coach Ed Hilton will

be hoping for a lot of solid play from clos t ' - on just out of high school ranks. F 0 a dozen “land "Last

I season was consldered a building year.” said

coach Hilton. "bu: the way things have turned out - grad- uates. eligibility and few new outside players—we'll be start. ing from the ground again."

Constderlng wh-al coach Htvtnn had to work with. St. Dun- stan'h had a good easnn in '63. The club finished with a 3.4 teem.‘ and as he points out. two of the losses could have gone either way. This :eason. because of a schedule that doesn't have thin playing St \lal‘v's. and only once against St. Fran- cis Xavier. the club could \\'l"d up with a 5.1: record

There are too few regulars back. 0 offence. Dave Mor- ton at centre: Jim Griffith at half: Mike Mcl‘hee at fullback; and Dave O‘Brien and "lili‘P Mulligan sharing some ball carrying duties. At wingback will be Wes MacAleer. Coach Hilton is counting heavily on last year part-time quarterback John Driscoli to move the team.

“ aren't started lhlf‘hlilg about defence." said Hilton. who has had from 10 to 15 players in camp or two weeks. Maybe Hilto: believes in the old theory that tho~ best defence is a good offence. because it has been offence he has been con- cerned with to date.

is that the Huskies are hungry. —- Last season they were tripped 14-13 by Don Lonev‘s X-Men. in Antigunish.

The largest turnout ever. 30 players, reported for the open- ing practice session at the St Mary's campus two weeks ago. Hayes says he'll Fiji to 25 players before they play their opening game against the ‘(-Men. Sent. '25

St. Mary's has 13 playerc returning from the '88 team. but Hayes insists the success of the squad will depend on the play of their 15 rookies
