Officers pelted bybottles at partynear Fleming DriveCost of extra policing and clean-up
efforts pegged at $250,000according to City officials
By Jaela BernstienGazette Staff
The infamous Fleming Drive hasmade news headlines once again.
On Halloween morning, Londonpolice responded to calls about aparty in the area of 280 ThurmanCir., near Fleming Drive. Officersarrived on the scene to face party-goers who chanted anti-police slo-gans and threw beer bottles,according to police reports.
A police media release describedthe scene as a large tumultuouscrowd of approximately 500 peo-ple.
After midnight, officersresponded to a second call whenparamedics were unable to reachan injured and unconscious malebecause of the crowd.
I remember I was trying to walkhome at one point, and then all Ihear are bottles smashing besideme [] It was pretty crazy, recalledCoulton Williams, a first-year stu-dent at Fanshawe College studyingelectrical techniques.
A total of 22 people were arrest-ed for unlawful assembly and onemale was charged with assaulting a
police officer.Ward 3 councillor Bernie Mac-Donald called the incident a dis-grace to Fanshawe College andLondon.
I think [the offenders] shouldtake off their diapers and grow up. I would call them students, but Ithink theyre children, he said.
This was the worst incident ofpublic disorder and unlawfulassembly we have experienced inthat area to date, possibly the worstthe London Police Service has everfaced, Amy Phillipo, media rela-tions officer for LPS, said.
She confirmed officers wereforced to don protective helmetsafter being pelted with various
debris including beer bottles, rocksand chunks of wood.
Some individuals are question-ing the accuracy of the policereports and media coverage.
Fanshawe Student Union presi-dent Jabari Cooper said policereports, which noted 500 attendeesat Saturdays incident, were exag-gerated.
He also dispelled rumours ofcars being overturned. According toCooper, its the false coverage thatis harmful to students reputation.
When you look in the London
Free Press, they have some thingsprinted as fact [that arent] [] andit really looks bad on our studentsand our community, he added.
Williams also questioned policepractices. I got thrown to theground; I got attacked by a cop, butI was just trying to walk home, hesaid.
This is not the first time theFleming Drive area has been thefocus of police intervention. Thestudent neighbourhood madeheadlines in 2007 when studentsresponded to police by throwingbeer bottles. One male wasrestrained through the use of a taser.
In the past, the City hasresponded to such incidents byimplementing programs that tight-en bylaw enforcement in studentneighbourhoods during trouble-some periods such as OrientationWeek.
Despite increased presence forthe Halloween weekend, Londonpolice deployed extra officers tohelp control the Thurman Circleincident.
They had to bring in every offi-cer they could. Some worked oversix and seven hours overtime,
MacDonald said.He estimated the incident costtaxpayers upwards of $250,000 forextra police presence and clean up.
He called on Fanshawe presi-dent Howard Rundle to take aharsher approach to troublesomestudents. If he doesnt toughen upwell end up with a full scale riot inLondon.
Jeff Sage, manager of marketingand communications at Fanshawe,said students could be facing acad-emic as well as criminal repercus-sions.
After a review of their code ofconduct last year, Fanshawe nowhas the ability to discipline any stu-dent who poses a risk to the health
and safety of campus.If theres a severe criminal
charge to a Fanshawe student thatposes a threat to our safe collegecommunity, we will take immediateaction, Sage said.
Despite the extra measurestaken, Sage is not concerned Satur-day mornings incident will affectFanshawes overall image.
Weve been feeling good aboutstudent conduct this year []things have been way better than inpast years, in terms of studentbehaviour off-campus, he said.

The Canadian government is crack-ing down on companies with thepotential implementation of a newconsumer product safety law.
Bill C-6 will prohibit the manu-
facture, importation, advertise-ment or sale of consumer productswhich pose an unreasonable dan-ger to human health or safety. It willalso give the government the powerto recall any product it deems to beunsafe from store shelves as soon asa problem is found a power whichwas originally solely designated tothe manufacturer or supplier.
David Thomas, media relationsofficer for Health Canada, noted theimportance of updating govern-ment legislation as the productswhich are put on store shelves con-
tinue to develop.The world and the economy
have changed enormously in thepast decades, Thomas said. Newproducts and technologies, as wellas increased global trade, are fur-ther indications that a new act isneeded to update and modernize
the laws relating to consumer prod-uct safety.
Some companies expressedconcern giving the government thepower to have mandatory recalls isan intrusive way of dealing withproduct safety. But for some, thetransfer of power is seen as a bene-ficial change.
Im also one of the customers, Xin Ma, general manager of JMXInternational Inc., said. I dontthink this is a problem, because Iencourage it. I would love to see alevel of government doing this stuff
and putting safety first.Jean-Paul Teskey, senior vice-
president of sales and marketingNorth America for ImaginationGames, noted product safety is of theutmost importance to the company.
Recalls are incredibly rare,Teskey said. It used to happen
because not everyone was doingthis widespread testing but youhave to do it.
Thomas mentioned the Actsburden on businesses will be mini-mal.
The intent of the proposed new Act is not to unduly burden theindustry, but rather to heighten theindustrys responsibility to ensurethat they are not marketing con-sumer products that could causeunreasonable danger to humanhealth or safety, Thomas added.

Librarian strike avertedThe University of Western OntarioFaculty Association Libraries andArchivists reached a tentative agree-ment last Friday, Oct. 30, averting astrike.
The UWOFA-LA agreed to rec-ommend the ratification of thedeal, the details of which will beconfidential until it is presented to
its members at a meeting later thisweek. The ratification will then beavailable for the individual mem-bers of the union to vote upon.
We are quite happy to recom-mend [ratification] to our mem-bers, Regna Darnell, president ofUWOFA-LA, said. Many of theissues were non-monetary, andwere for the respect of the profes-sional librarians [and archivists].
UWOFA-LA and Western havebeen in negotiations since May2009, working towards the renewalof the groups first contract, whichended July 1, 2009.
Some of the issues at the heart ofthe disagreement included jobsecurity and annual reviews, with
librarians criticizing the lack ofclear criteria for evaluation andvague job descriptions allowingthem to be easily reassigned.

Brescia helping out the kidsBrescia University College has initi-ated a new program to help highschool students make the transitionto university.
The program, titled Package ofProfs, compiles more than a dozenBrescia professors who volunteer todeliver catered presentations tolocal Grade 12 students about anyaspect of university life.
Package of Profs provides pro-fessors with an opportunity to talkto high school students about allthe benefits of pursuing a universi-ty education regardless of wherethe students choose to go, JuneMatthews, professor in food andnutritional sciences at Brescia, saidin a press release. If they happen tobe inspired by a professor fromBrescia, well, thats great.
The program boasts to be theonly one of its kind within the Lon-don region, with about 30 highschools targeted since its inceptionin September.

Getting to class on time may beharder, thanks to the London Tran-sit Commissions reduced service.
As of Monday, several bus routesbegan operating at exam levelsdue to a further withdrawal of ser-vices by bus drivers.
These include the 2C Dundas,6A Richmond, 10A Wonderland and10B Wonderland.
Full details about the exam lev-els can be found on route legends.This reduced service will likelyresult in crowded buses, servicedelays and extended travel time,particularly during peak periods.
Dan Moulton, vice-presidentuniversity affairs for the UniversityStudents Council, said line-ups
and delays are better than havingno buses at all.
Since the beginning, weve beenemphasizing that the bottom line forus is that students still have a way toget to campus, Moulton said.
Negotiations between the Amal-gamated Transit Union Local 471and the LTC are confidential, headded, so students and the USC willhave to wait for the outcome.
More details on reduced serviceand changes to the bus schedulescan be found at www.ltconline.ca.

As universities face higher thanexpected enrollment levels and theaccompanying increased demandfor residences, many institutionsare turning to hotels for a solution.
This September, first-years werewelcomed into the renamed Car-refour Sherbrooke, formerly FourPoints by Sheraton, a hotel in Mon-treal purchased by McGill Universi-ty and converted into a residence.
So far the students in the build-ing seem to really like it, and we aregetting very positive feedback,Michael Porritt, executive directorof residence and student housing atMcGill, said.
Faced with an increaseddemand for student housing andbuilding restrictions, the universityopted to purchase the hotel.
Because McGill is on the slopesof Mount Royal, there are restric-
tions on [the] height of buildings sowe could not have built somethingmore than four to five stories,which would not have been enoughto meet our needs, Porritt said.
McGill was previously rentingspace from the surrounding apart-ments to meet its guarantee of res-idence policy for first-year students.
If it were farther from campus, we may have continued rentingspace close to campus, Porritt said.
He added the $18.8 million pur-chase will benefit the University onboth a short and long-term basis.
We could not have built as nicea building at this size so [] savingsis tough to measure but [the build-ing] is a real benefit, Porrit said.
In hopes of boosting revenue,University of Calgary has also cre-ated a residence located in a hotel.
The International House wasopened in September 2009 andcontains both residences for upper-year students and a hotel for guests
visiting the university.We thought we would target
more mature students because ofthe hotel, said Voula Cocolakis,associate vice-provost of residenceand ancillary services at U of C. Sheadded there were concerns aboutnoise and behaviour many of thedisruptions attributed to first-yearstudents.
The hotel-style residence alsoallows students pursuing a degreein hospitality management to gainpractical experience, as they areresponsible for managing the frontdesk.
Despite the increase in space, Uof C is planning to open a resi-dence for 600 first-year students in2011 to accommodate increasedenrollment.
Last year, Western decided tomove first-year students into Bay-field Hall, an upper-year residence,to cope with the influx.
It just so happened that we
were closed for a year for renova-tions and there were more first- years than usual, Sally Thomas,rental office assistant for BayfieldHall, said.
However, Thomas added thissolution would not likely be usedagain.
We would have to have a lot ofempty apartments and we justdont, Thomas noted.

After emergency services were prevented from getting to amedical emergency in the midst of a party near FanshaweColleges campus, debate over how to deal with studentrowdiness has risen again.
A party spiralling out of control, beer bottles thrown atpolice, student reputations tarnished and a communityup in arms.
This was the situation in 2007, not last weekend, whenthe now-infamous Fleming Drive area outside of Fan-shawe Colleges campus became a media sensation. Atthe time, city councillors declared war against the neigh-bourhood. Police and student officials on all sides werepromising change.
But its two years later and were no better off.Just last month, London police said student behaviour
was improving. Their long-term program to manage stu-dent partying was working and wild keggers were undercontrol. And it took just one Halloween weekend andsome rowdy students to ruin that good standing.
One thing is clear: drastic measures are necessary.The situation at Queens University provides some
insight. Kingston police squeezed the student populationhard last month with extra police in riot gear and onhorseback. Their Homecoming tradition of chaos andviolence was put to a forceful end.
For Kingston as well as London, police are trying to stopmore than one night of drunken antics. They want to crushthe overall party reputation one thats far more destruc-tive to the city, school and students in the long term.
Police need to crackdown on this neighbourhood dur-ing wild weekends, just like Kingston did to QueensHomecoming. This could save taxpayers thousands andchange popular opinion about predominantly studentoccupied areas.
Fanshawe is prepared to go a different route. Theyrealready flashing a new, beefier code of conduct, which lets
them punish students for off-campus mischief. However,a line needs to be drawn between student social lives andacademic careers.
While expulsions and suspensions could effectivelyscare students straight, it also opens the door to abuseand could target unruly crowds of all kinds even thoseinvolved in political protest. The school needs to publi-cize this kind of punishment to students before makingan example of anyone. By this time next year, studentsmay better understand the real consequences of theirwild partying.
Fleming Drives Funshawe reputation hurts every-one, not just Fanshawe students, or Londoners. Westernworked hard over the past several years to end its ownparty reputation, and in a lot of ways it succeeded.
Its time for police, city officials and Fanshawe admin-istration to make sure Fleming Drive doesnt keep the rep-utation alive.

Niqab notthe cause ofoppression
heard this as to how one could help anoppressor, he responded, Prevent himfrom oppressing.
There are many ways to addresssocial wrongs. From the Islamic spiritu-al worldview, dress is one of them.Although the religious dress of Muslim women is often misunderstood asbeing oppressive to Muslim women, inmany ways, the woman who choosesto wear a veil not only protects herselffrom being seen as a sexual object,ensuring her freedom from oppression,but she is also protecting, at least sym-bolically, many men from the oppres-sion of their own selves, helping men toexperience a sense of spiritual securityand well being.
Regrettably, while the veil in its vari-ous forms may protect Muslim womenfrom being thought of in undignifiedways, it often makes them more vulner-able to the abuse of people filled withhatred and intolerance for differ-ence. The question of the niqab in rela-tion to multiculturalism in Canadaseems much less complicated. Amongother things, it has been, and will con-tinue to be the institutionalization of val-ues such as tolerance and respect fordiversity that makes Canada such a greatcountry to live in. Thus, in applying ourstandards consistently and fairly regard-ing the issue of dress for fear we mightdiscriminate and therefore oppress aminority group i.e. Muslim women
who have chosen to wear a veil theniqab cannot be considered any more orless Canadian than the turban, cross,sari, miniskirt, or even the uniform ofmen and women serving this country.The only thing left is for us to accept thisreality, or move to a country where it isntallowed to exist.

Re: SOGS president called out Oct. 7, 2009
To the editor:
Rarely would news from another stu-dent newspaper warrant a response inthe Gazette. However, I feel that someof the content in a recent article pub-lished by the McGill Tribuneshould becommented on. The Tribunerecentlypublished a story regarding the submis-sion of a petition to the Canadian Fed-eration of Students by their Post-Gradu-ate Students Society.
In this article our own Society ofGraduate Students president, Rick Telfer,is quoted regarding the motives of theindividuals circulating and submittingsuch petitions. Telfer suggests the peo-ple circulating these petitions at univer-sities such as McGill and Western mayreally be trying to undermine advocacyfor minority groups.
Where did the link between petitions which is required by CFS bylaws toopen debate on membership andputting down people who are gay, les-bian and aboriginal come from again?
I dont seem to remember any portionof the referendum petition that indicatedwe wanted to set back the suffrage move-ment or limit university access to hetero-sexual Caucasians. When Telfer makessuch statements as the elected head ofour graduate student body, as indicatedin the Tribunearticle, it reflects poorly onthe rest of the electorate as well.
I personally want to set the recordstraight: I signed the petition that circu-lated here at Western, but in no way doesthis translate into any opposition to therights of any group at Western or any-where else for that matter. Telfer mayhave been elected SOGS president, buthe surely doesnt represent me.

Re: Free to Choose: Burka or Not Oct. 14,2009
To the editor:
The pornography industry is increasing-ly booming, primarily in Western nations,because hundreds of thousands of menare literally addicted to watching imagesof women in degrading and dehumaniz-ing positions.
Apparently these addictions begininnocently, but can quickly spiral out ofcontrol, causing the one who suffers fromthe addiction to experience significantlevels of dysfunction in their private andsocial life. Eventually, for people whobecome addicted, faces, and by exten-sion, flesh, is all that matters in life, asopposed to the substance of ones char-acter, for example.
However, the woman wearing a niqabforces herself and others to consider theessence of ones being; ones humanity isnot necessarily tied to the appearance ofones face. The woman in a niqab repre-sents a reality without a face, whereas thewomen in the magazines represent a face
with no reality. The primary responsibil-ity to lower ones gaze must always reston the one being tempted by lust, so asto remove any tendency towards victimblaming. The niqab, and similarly, thehijab and/or burka, only complementand facilitate this responsibility.
As the old adage goes: out of sight, outof mind. The prophet of Islam said: Help your brother whether he is beingoppressed or whether he is an oppres-sor. When he was asked by those who

WHOS GONNA RUN THIS TOWN TONIGHT? Jay-Z put on a solid performance Thursday evening after flying in from New York, where he sang at the second game of the World Series justhours before.

SOMEONE SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING HIMSELF. Pharrell Williams ofN.E.R.D hyped up the John Labatt Centre before Jay-Z took the stage.
By Whitney TamGazette Writer
Despite opening the second gameof the World Series in New York justhours prior to gracing the stage atthe John Labatt Centre Thursdaynight, hip-hop veteran Jay-Z did notshow any signs of fatigue. Arguablythe biggest name to come throughLondon recently, the rapperstepped up to the plate on stage.
Jay-Z brought along three open-ing acts up-and-comer J.Cole,
Wale and N.E.R.D. Relativelyunknown, the first two acts openedthe show to a nearly empty stadi-um. However, N.E.R.D a biggername with a substantial following was able to get the audiencehyped with a high-energy set.
The excitement for Jay-Zs arrivalwas obvious. If the line for alcoholwas any indication, the audience ofprimarily university students wasready for the real party to begin.
Jay-Z took to the stage with anunforgettable entrance. He rose outof floor to open with Run This
Town, accompanied by a stunninglight show and a backdrop of videoscreens depicting a city skyline. Hewas decked out in all-black attirewith his trademark shades.
The Jigga Man could do nowrong. Old fan-favourites, like 99Problems, I.Z.Z.O and HardKnock Life, were sandwichedbetween new hits off his latestalbum, The Blueprint 3 the set-listdefinitely pleased the crowd. He alsokept things interesting with a couple
of re-worked versions of old hitsaccompanied by a lively horn sec-tion and a complete backing band.
The highlight of the night camewhen he had the whole audience
whip out a rag or any piece ofclothing and wave it in the airduring the rowdy track BigPimpin.
Jay-Z then made a specialannouncement. He told the crowdthat as a solo artist with 11 numberone albums, he had officially sur-passed Elvis Presley as the solo actwith the most number one albumsin Billboard 200 history Elvis hasofficially left the building, he said.
Expressing his gratitude, thehip-hop artist removed his signa-ture sunglasses before thankingfans, adding I want you to know Idont take any of this for granted Im not jaded.
He also gave the crowd one
piece of advice to follow yourdreams and not let anyone stop you. He ended the night withYoung Forever, and had the audi-ence singing along.
The rappers stop in London issomething that will no doubt betalked about for a while, indicatedby the crowds buzzing energy andshouts of that was the best showever.
Jay-Z was right Elvis has leftthe building, and on Thursdaynight, there was a new king intown.

amazing, Jewett says. He taughtus a lot about music and groove,making our sound more organicand bringing an electricity wevenever heard before.
So whats on the horizon for theseven-piece band? It appears fanswont have to wait much longer fora taste of some new music. Jewettnotes the band has a few projects in
mind that should keep fans satis-fied in the upcoming year.
Were working on a new EP and were hoping for a release in thenew year, Jewett says. We alwaystry to release an EP in the dead of winter something to keep ourbones warm until the next big fulllength project.
Jewett also hinted at the possi-bility of collaborating with anotherartist, but couldnt reveal the details.
Its actually a little bit of a secretat this point, so I cant really say, hesays.
Fans can only hope this secret isrevealed sooner rather than later.

World class musicians performedClassically Celtic Friday after-noon at von Kuster Hall in themusic building.
The concert hall was packed,forcing some people to view theshow from the overflow room.Regardless of where the spectators were situated, everyone enjoyedthe spirit conveyed by the heartfeltperformances of soprano Gwen-lynn Little, flutist Sir William Hugh-es and pianist Janet Robb.
The performance, as its titlesuggests, featured the blending of
two genres Celtic music, whichhas deep folk roots, and the classi-cal tradition.
Hughes and Little were dynamicand humorous, interacting witheach other and the audience.Hughes mentioned he was a friendof celebrated flutist James Galway,and performed several of Gal-ways arrangements.
A Canadian Opera Companysoloist for 10 years, Little pre-sented interpretations of Irishballads Down by the Sally Gar-dens and She Moved Throughthe Fair. Her renditions weresoft and emotional, but full ofdynamic changes. In an interest-ing twist, Hughes and Little per-
formed pieces together in differ-ent keys the result was aunique harmony.
The audience was encouragedto participate in the music by clap-ping along to the lively folk strainsof Is the By that Builds the Boat,and the crowd laughed at thewhimsical humour of the perform-ers who provided insightful intro-ductions to each song.
Sing along if you may, Hughesencouraged jokingly in the intro-duction to a solo piece. If youknow the words then you musthave been around in 900 AD.
Hughes and Little have bothenjoyed celebrated careers. Hugh-es has played with the LondonSymphony and played principalflute and piccolo with the Band ofHer Majestys Royal Marines. Littleis a Mozart specialist and currentlyteaches in the faculty of music atWestern.
The Don Wright Faculty of Musicpresents the free concert series everyFriday at 12:30 p.m. This Friday willfeature a Baroque Trio Sonata in thevon Kuster music hall.

Although it was one night too earlyfor vampires to be roaming thestreets, there was plenty of blood-shed Friday evening at Thompsonarena.
In a game that featured 60 min-utes of penalties and saw 21 differ-ent players visit the sin bin, themens hockey team was able to bat-tle through the carnage and defeatthe Guelph Gryphons 5-1.
Guelph always comes at uspretty hard they did it in theirrink earlier this year too. Theyalways finish all their hits so maybe
we got a little bit frustrated, West-ern assistant coach Pat Powers saidafter the game. They tow the line alittle bit and they cross it once in awhile. We got through it, and thatsall that matters.
Western was able to get on theboard before taking their firstpenalty, scoring 30 seconds into thefirst period courtesy of an AaronSnow breakaway. Snow, who fin-ished the night with four points,was relieved to get his first of theseason.
It felt good. I hadnt scoredcoming into tonight, so to get acouple felt good. Its just hard work.I got off to a bit of a slow start this year for whatever reason. I was working hard but I just couldntscore but I got the monkey offmy back tonight, the second-yearwinger said.
Powers also praised Snowsefforts.
Aaron started the game tonightjumping out of the defensive zoneface-off and getting that goal early,which was huge for us. He really setthe tone for that line early, he said.
In spite of being shorthandedand outplayed for the majority ofthe first period, the Mustangs wereable to capitalize on a poorGuelph line change in the finalminute of the frame and extendtheir lead to two on a goal by
Keaton TurkiewiczWe gave up two momentumgoals, one in the first minute of thegame and one in the last minute ofthe first. We put ourselves in a bighole early, Guelph coach ShawnCamp said.
Western looked energized in theremaining two periods, out-shoot-ing the Gryphons 24-15 while tack-ing on three insurance goals apowerplay marker from PatrickOuellet, a shorthanded tally fromSnow and a late breakaway fromKevin Baker.
After the first period we had areally good game. Guelph is a verygood team despite what their
record is at the moment. We gave areally solid effort tonight, probablyone of our best, Western headcoach Clarke Singer said.
The Mustangs only blemish ofthe night was a questionable lategoal by Guelph forward JakeLalonde that appeared to besmothered by goalie AnthonyGrieco. The Western netminderhas stopped 138 of his last 140shots.
[Greico] has been a great sur-prise for us. Hes only allowed twogoals in five games so hes doneeverything weve asked from himand even a little bit more, Powerssaid.
After the game, Guelph defence-man Mark Pawlowski was frustrat-ed with the outcome.
We played solid in the first, butthe puck just wasnt bouncing ourway today. We tried our best but wereally couldnt do much.
The Mustangs completed theweekend sweep on Saturday nightin Waterloo, defeating the WilfridLaurier Golden Hawks 4-3.

8/8
OFFENSIVE
Mustangs RB Nathan Riva
25 rushes, 171 yards, 1 TD
Riva paced the Mustang offence on
Halloween, exploiting holes in the
Guelph defensive line and turning
the corner for gains to the outside
when he needed to. The scary part:
he gained most of his yards after
contact.
Gryphons RB Nick FitzGibbon
19 rushes, 88 yards
While quarterback Justin Dunk
struggled to force the ball down-
field through the wind, FitzGibbon
was consistent in advancing the
ball on the ground, picking up five
first downs. He also hauled in a 35-
yard pass as part of the Gryphons
strong first quarter.
DEFENSIVE
Mustangs LB Conor Elliott
7 tackles, 1 interception
Elliott was all over the field for the
Mustangs defence, making eight
solo tackles and assisting on four
more. His timely third quarter inter-
ception which he returned 49
yards up the field came when
Guelph was threatening on West-
erns 30-yard line after driving theball down field all the way from
their own 2-yard line.
Gryphons LB Bryan Dunjko
7.5 tackles, 1 sack
Dunjko was a force all game for
Guelphs young defence, making
7.5 tackles. His biggest play came
in the second quarter when he
sacked Mustangs QB Michael
Faulds with Western poised to
score a touchdown on second and
goal from the Gryphons 6-yard
line. The Mustangs were forced to
kick a field goal.
THE GLUE
Mustangs DT Alexander Robinson
2.5 tackles, 1 sack
Robinson a rookie defensive
lineman filling in for the injured
Mike Van Praet rose to the
occasion in his first taste of OUA
playoff action, applying constant
pressure on Gryphons QB Justin
Dunk, who ended up throwing four
interceptions. Robinson showed he
could be clutch too, sacking Dunk
on third and 11 from the Mustangs
26-yard line in the fourth quarter
to end a last-ditch Gryphons
comeback attempt.
Gryphons DB Jerryd Baines
4 tackles
Baines was a thorn in the side of
the Mustangs receiving core all
afternoon, deflecting three pass-
es and providing tight coverage
down field. Each of his pass
deflections were crucial plays,
especially in the second quarter,
when he managed to knock away
a sure TD pass to receiver
McCartney Sealey.

ON DECK:
Badminton brings it... Wednesday
By Arden ZwellingGazette Staff
You dont need a weatherman toknow which team took betteradvantage of the wind Saturday.
On a cold day that saw windsgusting up to 50 km/h straightdownfield at TD Waterhouse stadi-um, the Western Mustangs footballteam came away with a 37-18 vic-tory over the Guelph Gryphons in
the Ontario University Athleticsquarter-final.Both teams turned to their
ground games to negate the effectof the wind, with Guelphs NickFitzGibbon running the ball 19times for 90 yards and WesternsNathan Riva rushing for a season-high 171 yards on 25 carries, scor-ing a TD in the process.
We knew we were going to tryand run the ball. We wouldve likedto throw it more but it was just toowindy out there, Riva said. I justgot into a groove and tried to keep itrolling.
Much like McMaster did in theMustangs Homecoming game lastmonth, Guelph came out strong in
the first quarter, utilizing their windadvantage as well as direct snaps toFitzGibbon, which caught the Mus-tangs defence off guard.
We saw [the direct snaps] a loton film. Theyve done it in some dif-ferent situations but mostly onshort yardage, Mustangs line-backer John Surla said. So whenthey came out today doing it onsecond and long it threw us offguard a little bit. But we rallied andeverybody filled their holes and thedefensive line played really tough.
Guelph struck first, with a Rob
Maver rouge and a 20-yard touch-down run from quarterback JustinDunk affording Guelph an earlyeight point lead.
After Maver and Mustangskicked Darryl Wheeler exchangedfield goals, the Mustangs foundthemselves trailing 11-3 early in thesecond quarter.
I dont know what it is, Fauldssaid of the Mustangs slow starts.Normally we wait until halftime to
start playing but today in the sec-ond quarter we got after it.Strong running from Riva cou-
pled with efficient, precisionpassing from Faulds saw the Mus-tangs score 34 unanswered pointswhile the defence held Guelph offthe scoreboard for more than 30minutes from the beginning ofthe second quarter until thefourth.
During that span the Mustangspicked off Dunk four times, withConor Elliott, Adrian Kaiser, CraigButler and Aaron Handsor all get-ting their hands on errant Dunkpasses.
Our defence did a really goodjob of containing [Dunk]. Thats the
key. If you dont play well, hell makeyou pay, Western head coach GregMarshall said.
Faulds, who finished with twoTDs while completing 17 of 28passes for 199 yards, came out ofthe game briefly in the third quar-ter after aggravating an existingknee injury.
Its something Ive been battlingall year. Its playoff time now so Imnot going to come out, the fifth-year pivot said.
While the Mustangs high-pow-ered offence scored plenty of
points, it was the Stangs defencewho turned most heads on Satur-day.
Thats the best game ourdefence has played all season,Marshall said after the game. Theyknew there was pressure on them.They knew Guelph could scorepoints. They stepped up andstopped the run.
Defence has been a questionmark for the Mustangs all season.
The defensive line in particular hasfaced considerable adversity afterlosing Vaughn Martin to the NFLand both Mike Van Praet and ScottFournier to injuries during the reg-ular season.
Chris Greaves and rookieAlexander Robinson filled the voidadmirably on Saturday, pressuringDunk constantly and forcing alitany of bad throws from the fifth-year quarterback.
The game-plan was to keep
[Dunk] in the pocket. After a whilewe realized he wasnt going to hurtus with his legs today, so we put ourears back and started to get afterhim, Greaves said.
We realized that we had to turnit on and start practicing way hard-er, Greaves said of the Mustangsdefensive turnaround. To be hon-est, we werent practicing as hard aswe should have been practicing oras hard as we have in the past. So
the effort went up. Western now has a date inWaterloo with the Laurier GoldenHawks next Saturday in the OUAsemifinal. While banter off the fielddominated the run up to theGuelph game, Greaves feels that forthis week, Mustang actions speaklouder than words.
Just look at the scoreboard.Were winning theres no need fortalk. The scoreboard speaks foritself.
