growing pains.

Whether you travel north, south or west in this division you will find a struggling quarterback.

Paul Moser

These are the times that try young q'uarterback's abilities. Happy feet appear, horrible throws occur and bad decisions arise. It is a proven fact, end of argument. That was never more apparent than in the performances by the next generation of quarterbacks this past Sunday.

Perhaps the futility of young quarterbacks in the league is extremely apparent because of the struggle of one-Bobby Hoying.

Hoying completed 11 of 24 passes for 96 yards and one interception in the blowout loss to the Denver Broncos this past Sunday. However, Hoying is not the only young quarterback experiencing

Above us, the supposedly polished Danny Kannell threw three interceptions and passed for 86 yards on 10-27 passing. To the west, the exciting Jake Plummer also threw two key interceptions-one of which was returned for a touchdown and one of which was a yard shy-on23-39 passing.

To the south, the Redskins continued their offensive futility with Trevor Green throwing 11-23 for one touchdown and one interception.

In the AFC, we saw the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the draft, Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf, each go only 11-23 for around 160 yards-and this was one of their good weeks.

It is inevitable. Young quarterbacks stink rather than shine in most cases. Quarterback is the hardest position to play in the league.

The important thing to do, though, is allow them to stink to

Cross-Country

The men's and women's teams put on impressive performances at the Belmont Classic held at Belmont Plateau on Saturday, Oct. 3. Cabrini was among the 12 men's and women's teams who participated. The men's team was led by Pat Hutton, who ran the five mile race in 29 minutes 45 seconds, placing him 13th overall.

The women were led by sophomores Lauren Dean and Sabrina Smith. Dean finished first overall with a time of 20 minutes 16 seconds. Smith finished second overall eight seconds behind Dean at 20 minutes, 24 seconds. The men finished fourth overall, just missing out on third place at one point behind Lincoln. The women finished second overall behind Widener. The team has an away meet this Saturday at Dickinson College.

Women's Soccer

The team recorded yet another win as it defeated Bryn Mawr College 5-1 on Thursday, Oct. 1.

On Saturday Oct. 3, the team dropped a 1-0 overtime decision to Misericordia in a very tough PAC loss.

Coach Diane Pierangeli was very impressed with the performance the team put out during both games. She feels the team has come together and is confident they will be prepared for Alvernia College this Saturday at lp.m.

see if they will eventually shine. Brett Farve and Steve Young had some of the happiest feet and wors.t games, but inevitably they worked through it to become league MVPs.

That is what Ray Rhodes must do with Hoying. It is very important, perhaps the most important, to see what he can do for the future.

Hoying is in an interesting posi- tion because if he doesn't show something by the end of the season, he will be out of a job.

Hoying does have a limit on the amount of mistakes be can make this season. If he does not have at least some signs of promise by the end of the year, he could lose his starting job in the offseason. At the rate the Eagles are going at the present time, they will most likely end up picking in the top five, perhaps top two. There are two players that really intrigue me in this draft: Ricky Williams and Tim Couch. Williams is possibly the best running back to come out of college since Barry Sanders. Couch is one of the best quarterbacks to come out of college since Drew Bledsoe. These two players, barring a miracle, will be available when the Eagles pick first or sec-

0nd • If Hoying does not show any life, Couch will be the pick. If Hoying looks a little like he used to, Williams will come to the Eagles. The Eagles need a playmaker and Williams could be that guy. But, if Hoying does not produce, their hand will be forced to draft one of the young quarterbacks in the draft.

Play Hoying. Make him earn his job. It is up to Hoying to find that promising young player that we all saw lead us to victory over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
