It seems the Golden Gaels are fallible after
all.
The football team's undefeated run came to a halt Saturday afternoon at Richardson Stadium, when the Laurier Golden Hawks beat them 23-4. The battle of two undefeated teams was witnessed by 5,582 fans. |

Queen's leads Ottawa 22-4 in the third
quarter Oct. 6, 1986, at
Richardson Stadium when Andy McEvoy
comes off the bench to replace
starting Gee-Gees quarterback Cam Baird.
McEvoy engineers two touchdown
drives and is within sight of scoring the go-
ahead TD when the Gee-Gees
fumble at the Queen's 15-yard line with less
than three minutes to
play. Matt Clifford of the Gaels recovers and
Queen's hangs on for a
23-17 win.

Three weeks ago, the Ottawa Gee-Gees almost lost a football game they should have easily won at Western. The experience refocused them so sharply they dropped 60 points on McMaster last weekend. As they prepare to travel to Ottawa for an
Ontario University Athletics game tomorrow,
the Queen's Golden Gaels are hoping a
similarly sad-sack offensive performance
against Laurier last week will provide them
with the same kind of Road to Damascus
experience. "It's really put us back in
perspective," Gaels guard Vince DeCivita
said of the 23-4 setback against Laurier,
Queen's first loss of the year.
"We were kind of, I don't want to say overconfident, but we made mental mistakes during the week [in practice] because of the emotional win [at Windsor] and maybe we were a little too confident." |

Ottawa city council would have a sure-fire
way to recoup some of its costs if it decides
to tear down and rebuild all or part of Frank
Clair Stadium: Let some football-loving
Queen's grads man the wrecking ball, and
charge them for the privilege.
Leaving aside the contentious political
debate, tearing Frank Clair down or making
radical change* might help the Gaels win in
Ottawa for a change. It's all about us, you
know. Meantime, the south side stands being
closed means the teams don't have use of
the regular dressing rooms, which probably
adds to the Gee-Gees' home field advantage.
