' It is nice here on P.E.I. and we sometimes Wonder
if getting on and off it is worth all the hassle.
This thought Came to us
on Friday afternoon as,
‘ after a half hour wait, we were second in “line as we watched the fully loaded ferry'start across
' the Strait. We had hoped that, visiting our Hali- fax resident ‘son we might get to the Tip—Off Tour-' nament. -~ We missed the night gates but did get down to Wolfville next morning just as the Lady Panther game was ending.
Who ever heard of a base- ketball game starting ..at 9:00 a.m.?...‘our meta- ' bolism isn't functioning /' until after that time! We are told that the Bas— ketball Panthers played very well in their first taste of regional compe- tition and, for a time, were‘ahead of the St. F.X. team which we are told should win the Maritime crown this year. Sez who? Score at the half was 49- 47 for us. ' However, we were unable to handle ' All—Canadian star Mark aBrodie (game tota140
points) and they drew away -
in the last» few. minutes, when experience is a big factor and won-89-8l.‘
Curtis Brown has high for ‘us with 20. Next day we
saw the Mbunt Allison
game in which the big interest was whether we 7 would make the century mark and if we could beat them by'30/ points as Acadia had done, the night before.
Coach, Nutbrown usedhis bench a Bot and they per- formed iirpr-essively.
Final score was 100-71, With Tejan Alleyne leading the way with. 18 and Vinnie DePinto right back of him with 16. Our continuous ' Speed Seemed to confuse the Garnet & Gold boys , and ‘we hOpe the same will be true this weekend as

Next home games willbe with the U. of IVE-line from Presque Isle‘on the 21 and 22 of this month. In Lady Panther action at Acadia, the girls dropped a close one to St. F.X. 63-59, with Cathy Chandler leading our scorers. In the consolation, match, Velvet Charters was high with 16 as we took
an easy win from‘bbuht A. 70-59. There will be a lull in Pantherette ac- tion until next weekend when, with doubleheaders with the Panther games our team will face Material
to open their league play.
