Welcome back and we hope gthat all of you enjoyed the Christmas break and that those of you that went So— uth have enough money left to enjoy at least one Pig 'N' Whistle. It is so long since our last column that anything we write may be— long to History 321 - any; how, let‘s recapitulate. FOOTBALL - Final observat- ions. We rejoice with,st. Mary's on their winning the National Championshipw we feel it was not only a great achievement for SMU but was alSo a clear not— ification to the restof Canada/that the calibre of Maritime football matches that in any part of Canada. with these congratulatory .remarks and without detra- * cting in any way from SMU we'wonder how the Halifax Herald columnist and the big mouth Radio announcer from Halifax, view what we regard as this glorious victory. They belly—ached so mdch about one of our wins, played in adverse weather, we canft help wo— nder if they can accept a SMU win that came under even worse conditions. Final football note -—- "Well, anyhow,,in league play, we are the only team that beat the only team that beat the national champions!" HOCKEY — We'll still be up there 9 we lost a couple of games We‘could have‘won with a little good fortune. You saw how close the SMU game was and the X game was a heartbreaker. Played at Xvwe fell behind 0—4, and then we tied it up early in the third period. It

ATLANTIC REGION NEWMAN» CON— EEBENCE ,;__w scheduled for UPEI campus January 18—20, 1974. Students from most of the Atlantic universities have helped in the planning and will be participating. ‘Theme is Christians and their Enviornment — and- ecology will most likely not even‘be mentipnedl!» Social Action projects to change things for the bet- ter, certainly will be. ‘ .And, since this is the Ki—

ngdom we‘are talking about,'

there will be some input on prayer and what can ha—

seemed like we had X on

the ropes when an injury to a linesman delayed the game ten minutes and our ' boys lost theirkmomentum and were beaten 5—4. If we can be accused of rationa~ lizing we should be credi— ted with originality. Have you ever heard, as an exc— use for losing, "We would have won only a linesmap got hurt?" At Dal we play— ed well and won 3—1. At a tournament in Maine we lost the first 2-5 and won

the second 5—0, American rules!!

We, having now seen seve— ral of the M.I.H.L. teams, might observe that we, at UPEI, may haVe four of the best goalkeepers in the league! we can, however, play but one at a time!! BASKEEEAL; - We need heig- ht ~ our boys play well, certainly deserve marks for effort. We think they mig—

ppen there.

Input will come mostly from students involved in campus life across the en- tire Atlantic region.

This is a live-in situat- ion. Sleeping bags and/or blankets are needed.

Conference fee is about $12. per person. Fee sub— sidies are available for those not able to pay to— tal with own funds.

Registration deadline Wed— nesday, January 16. Need names because food has to be arranged. '

Contact: George Mitchell,

ht have won a couple of the games we saw if they had someone who could mat— ch reaches with the 6'8" lads — also a little more fan support will help for we have attended more liv— lier wakes — we hear we're getting more help now and one of these days we'll win one!! We'd like to add th— at we often hear of winning players being credited wi— th "GUTS". Our humble opi— nion is that a team hope-U lessly behind at the half, that can come out on the floor and play as though it was in a tie game, is the group that is really exhibiting "guts". For those disturbed by our Env' glish, please delete guts and insert "Intestinal Fortitude".

On to UNB and our friend Gerry Bell, other Islanders and a hoped for basketball upset and’two hockey wins!
