But it didn't matter. The 19-year-old Queen Elizabeth Park student ran a slow race by his stan- dards--and still won by a comfortable two-metre mar- gin over runner-up and teammate Kevin Gordon. Hyland's time of 22.8 seconds was nowhere near his personal best time of 22.2 he posted at last year's Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference regional championships. Still, Hyland managed to complete the 200m/400m double gold medal trick at the Haltons for the third straight year and fourth time in the last five years. He won the 400m event at day one or the two-day meet earlier in the week. "I felt uncomfortable (for the 200m final)," Hyland said. "I knew it in the warmup. I could feel my upper hamstring (right leg) tightening up." It was the old hamstring problem that prevented Hyland from qualifying for last year's Ontario Another reason SLEEMAN Silver Creek Lager, Cream Ale and Premium Light beer taste so good - is because we brew with only the world's finest Pumas BY BARBIE ERSKINE all Natural SLEEMAN Federation of School Athletic Association champi- onships. He pulled it during the 400m rmal at the regionals and failed to make the cut-off. He ran the 200m event later but was ineffective. "it's not a bad injury" he said "It's just a matter of testing it." . And Hyland will looking forward to improved times at tomorrow's (Thursday) GHAC champi- onships at McMaster University in Hamilton. "l love running on the McMaster track," said Hyland, who trains three times a week with the Etobicoke Huskies. "it's a really quick track. The wind can play havoc but as long as Mother Nature holds up, it should be a good day for me." Hyland would dearly like to make it to the 400m final at OFSAA because it's his final year, although he knows it will be tough sledding. "The guy who won junior at OFSAA last year (Chris Davis) will be there," said the 5-foot-10. I70- pound Hyland.

Hawks get a break en route to semis By TOM MiCHiBATA Oakville Beaver staf The Loyola Hawks senior boys soccer team needed to catch a break in us Halton high school quarter-final playoff against the Blakelock Tigers, Monday. A rejuvenated Loyola team then erupted for four goals in the two extra time sessions for a 6-2 victory and a berth in the Volpe Division semifinals today (Wednesday) at Sherwood Forest Park in Burlington. And it got it late in the second-half, when a contro- versial verbal obstruction call on Tigers goalkeeper Matt Babbitt gave the Hawks an indirect free kick. Paul Marques drilled a shot into the bottom left cor- ner, sending the game into overtime tied 2-2. Dominic Orsini with two and Marques scored in the first overtime period and Mike Cacador closed out the scoring in the second session. Hawks now meet Queen Elizabeth Park Eagle in one semifinal (3:30 pan.), while Oakville Trafalgar--- a l-0 winner over White Oaks in the other quarterfinal Monday-meets St. Thomas Aquinas at 4:45 pm. Trailing bl in the second half, the Hawks manu- factured plenty of scoring opportunities only to direct shots right at Babbitt or see them ring off the goalpost or crossbar. AVER I .3 Good beer since 1834 WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1993 PAGE 18 Gardner and Ponikvar agreed Malisa did a credible job given the circumstances. And Gardner said there was doubt about Malisa's neutrality. "He probably did a betterjob than some of the regular referees. "Our goalie came out told the defence to leave it.," said Blakelock coach John Gardner. "The referee didn't hear him say it was his ball. Gardner said the call had an effect on his players. "The guys let themselves get rattled by the call. Loyola is a more skilled team," he said. And once they got rattled, Loyola's skill took over." "All I heard him (Babbitt) say was ‘Leave it, leave it,'" said Loyola coach Ed Ponikvar. "He (Malisa) was calling that consistently in the game. It was not as if he called it out of the blue." Halton Secondary Schools Athletic Association sports convenor Peter Moore admits getting referees to every game can be a problem. See SOCCER, Page 20 Then came The Call, made by Reno Malisa, a Loyola teacher and girls soccer coach filling in for the scheduled referee, who was ill. Under a gentleman's agreement among coaches, a goalkeeper is supposed to call out the name of the teammate before passing the ball off to him. Babbitt, apparently, didn't.
