The Arlington offense tolled up 387 yards all on the ground while holding the Cards to 38 yards rushing and about the same passing. Gari Gaustad was the lead ing lone ball carrier totaling 42 vards on seven hauls through the rain. Kevin Mc Cabe was the only other Card rusher in double figures, picking up 16 yards in eight attempts. McCabe's punting was one of the few bright spots in the game for lone. The Cards were plagued with ineffective blocking and missed tackles throughout the game. Gaustad was in on the most stops with 35 devensive points. McCabe followed with 22 points, Terry Starr had 17 and John Lindstrom was credited with 15. After taking their second kickoff saddled with an eight point deficit, a Dennis Stafani to Robin LaRue to Gaustad flea flicker gained eight yards but the Cards were stopped short of a first.

He hadn't had the feeling that often this year but Friday night was all too reminiscent of last year's disappointments. "It was the worst game we've played this year by far," Meyers said. "It re minded me a lot of last year, the way they ran over us." Arlington snapped 76 offen sive plays to Ione's 33 and picked up 11 first downs to the Cards' four. lone was out gained in yardage five to one as Card defenders missed numerous tackles and blocks. "Part of the problem was the size difference," Meyers said, referring to the fact that Honker lineman outweighed the Cards by- 20 to 30 pounds per man.

Despite the loss, lone still has a shot at a winning season if they can get by Dufur in their final game Saturday. A win would put the Cards at 5-4 exactly where Meyers thought they would finish before the season started. "At the beginning of the year I said we could go 5-4," Meyers said. "But when we were 4-1 1 was thinking a little different." The Cards don't have a winning season in the bag yet even though Dufur stands at 0-4 in league play. "They're not in the same class as Arlington and Culver, but if we don't play better than we did last week, we won't win," Meyers said.
