With all the temptations about where we could go for our sports viewing last weekend we finally decided and took the early boat ' bright (?) and early on Saturday morning. we arrived in Halifax in plenty of time for the Acadia/Ottawa Atlantic Bowl football game and we consider it one of the most exciting we have ever seen. Although the teams played well, two players certainly Stood out. Acadia Q.B.
Bob Cameron who, though suffering from an earlier injury, came in late in the game to inspire theAxe—men and pass 7 them to their winning T.D. Ottawa's Mike Murphy,
was a standout through- out the action as he ‘ gained well over 200 yards in a losing cause. Final score was Acadia
18 Ottawa 16. '
Then on to the Dal Rink with its queer corners 'and antiquated press box..
we delayed the opening face— '
off by accidently dropping a hat on a startled '“Dalhousie Left Winger! The Hockey Mag., for which we paid John Neville $1.25 has certainly gained no respect for its prognosticatton about the Panther Hockey Club for it forecasted a struggle between these two teams for Fifth .place! We certainly looked away better than Dal and nothing like a sixth place finisher as we outclassed a crippled Dalhousie squad andromped to a 7—3 victory. Our goal scorers were Lennie Kelly and Ken Burton with two each with David Cameron, Ralph Josie and Val Mitchell registering singles.
On Sunday we watched the Panthers giving top— :anked Saint F.X. a
J.
first—rate exhibition of hockey from start to finish. Score, midway in the third period was 2—2 and it was anybody's game until X scored a power-play goal after what we thought was a questionable penalty. (We MIGHT be prejudiced) and then added an insurance marker as we pressed for an equalizer. Our ' goal scorers were Gary
t.-Trainor and Joe Filly
Pony. We are particu— larly glad to welcome Joe back into the list of goal [scorers as we almost forgot how to mis—spell his name during his sluhp.
0n the previous Wed— nesday the Panthers drop— ped their first league game to Les Aigles Bleu 4—3 in a game that we heard several spectators remark was the best play- ed in the Forum in years. After the visiting MDncton team scored three power play goals early in the contest our chances appear- ed dim but we rallied strongly in the third period and , but for outstanding play by their goalkeeperjmight have tied or won. We bliéve we'll
Abe jockeying with this
team for playoff position
all year. Our goal scorers
were Lennie Kelly, Wilfred
MacDonald and Lornie
*Carmichael. .' We'd like to remark that
it was in the Moncton
game that Jack Hynes used
a ploy that he has since
continued. Although goal—
keeper Snags McInnis
had played well, he
was replaced by Gerald
Butler to start the third
period and the move
seemed to inspire the
Panthers. In the Dal
game, Butler started
and, out came Snags to
play the third and, again
in Antigen ish against
X Snags was there until
replaced by Gerald in
the final stanza. 'In
each case the Panthers
seemed to get a lift and,
their play improved.
We have been watching
’.hockey a long, long
time but Jack is the first coach we have ever seen who could use a goalkeeper as an 0F— FENSIVE WEAPON!
The team travels to Sackville and Moncton this weekend and will play their final pre-Xmas games here against Saint Mary's and Acadia on 4&5 Dec.
[belong in the same league)
Once again we'll concede
'well we are sorry we missed_
the two games our brave characters won in Wolfville as they copped the Acadia Tip-Off Tournament-
First they knocked off Sir Wilfred Laurier's Golden Hawks 72-63 with Rob Kirkpatrick leading the way with 21 points. Tom Kappos and Ken Rowe both ahving 18. On Saturday night we topped . highly ranked Acadia 83—79 as*Ken Row (Tournament's M.V.P.)‘
‘hit for 34 and Mark
Vickers chalked up 26. Dennis "Sky " High was outstanding with no less than 15 rebounds and 12 points. Due to the American Limitation.Rule Dennis sat out Friday's rub against Acadia. No question about it we are "In theré" in, Basketball tbo. This weekend our Panthers open their home season with two Panther Booster Club exhibition games with Budget Rent—a-Car. An outstanding Halifax senior team which is rated as > one of the best in Canada. It boasts of such former intercollegiate stars as Mickey Fox, Lee Thomas, Joie Wells, Fred Perry and others. The first game will be in Summerside~ on~Saturday night and the Panthers will be in our gym on Sunday at 2.00. That's the GOOD news now the bad...not too bad...because this is an exhibition game, and sponsored by the Booster Club, there will be a small door admission... . $1.00 for students...what are youxgrowling about?... it is for a good cause and it will cost me $2.00! In football we ended up in good respectable fashion as we dropped the final game of the sbhedule to Saint F.X. (with whom in the start of the season it was said we did not

he too may be biased. Great credit should be accorded our heroes as they improved their 1975 record of 1—5 to a very respectable 4-4. We'll mis Souris gift to UPEI, Ernie Gallant and local

We forgot to mention that, after the boys ~ finished the St. F.X.hockey game in good time we rushed back,to catch the last Wood Island Ferry...on1y to be faced byAa barrier and information that the waiting cars Would more than fill the boat... so, for us, it was around the long.winding Sunset Trail to Tormentine. there we were the second last car gettin on and, for a considerable time, it appeared we'd not make it and would have to wait another 11/4 hours. We were amazed at how3 our companions, John and Serge fumed (The Rabbi, who was also on the trip got on the boat at Wood Islands by hiding in one of the equipment kit bags). Being from ":The Island" we EXPECT difficulty at the ferries and, contrary to main— landers expectations, we are always surprised when we cross Northumberland VStrait without difficulty.
