Harper Ends \ Grid Season Without GameHarper College’s football team was hoping to capture a big win Monday afternoon at Macomb against the junior varsity team from Western Illinois University. It meant a .500 season for the Hawks, a goal set at the start of the sea-son. 1The Hawks succeeded, but not in theway they had expected.“He (Western coach) called me at midnight and canceled the game,” said Harper coach John Eliasik Monday morning. “They said their field was under water and that’s why they canceled.”Western wanted to reschedule the contest, but that would have meant still another full week of practice for theHawks.“We're just ending our season,” said Eliasik. That meant the Hawks finished up 3-3-2 or 500. However, he added that his young men were let down that they couldn’t tackle the four-year school.“W’e won’t be scheduling any four-year schools any longer.” said Eliasik. “We’re sticking with junior colleges from nowon.The game was to have featured matchups between old rivals and teammates in the Mid-Suburban League. Two players— Dave Schneider and Steve Blake — were from Forest View and one — Jim Leopardo — was from Elk Grove. All three are freshmen at Western.
