ious basketball and hoc— key seasons about to

start it is pretty hard to write about the teams

with any strong conviction. In basketball we have

had several gates which wen-tee able to win with- out difficulty and, al- though our hockey team has '2 had but: little success

we have no feeling that this is an cf impending disaster as we feel that Jack Hynes has used the gates as op— portunities to try out

new players and coubina— tions rather then wait for league play to experinent.

It was a good example of just how strong the teens

in our league are. _ It also ;

gave sone indication that, although our first string is catposed of outside players, the basketball being played in our local highschools must be of very high calibre as it was nest encouraging to see our second string players (mostly local products) on the floor a great deal of the time and they had no difficulty in out-= playing their hardworking, but outclassed, OPPCﬂents. We can tell you, quite honestly, that we were

somewhat puzzled in the Saturday gate. We like to cheer for the "Good" guys and wish all manhergof disaster for the "Bad" guys. ..when our mudt ad- mired Panthers take the floor against the Alumni, ourposed of former "Good" guys. . .which is the "Bad" side???

spectacle even though we could not develop a partisan sentiment and

had to cheer for both. We were very inpressed, at the start, with the 1977 edition of the Panthers as they seated to be about to give a real demonstration of power and it looked as though they would ad- minister the satte lesson that they had doled out to - Moncton on the previous However, age and

Perhaps it was when

George Burger put in his reserves. ..but fran then on the play was PmttY equal, even when the . first line troops return- ed with such fortter stars as Art Laffin, Rick Millard atd chnie Diamnd playing very well. For the Panthers, Dave Arsenault had 23 to tq3 our boys, Lloyd Pullen had 21 and the Flatbush anbassador to UPEI, Vince Murray, had 16. Dennis High, looking to be in great shape, was reboUnd—

fashion and had 17 as the '77 Panthers went on to win 108-74.

This weekend the team travels to Wolfville to play in the Acadia Tip-Off 'Iburnanent and will open against Husscn College. 'Ihe regular 20 gate schedule opens for us at Dal on the 19th and 20th.

We think George Birger, starting late on a new job has moulded together a team with great potential and we await with interest what prqnises to be

another season. ' "1'

In hockey, we lost to Mount A. in Sadcville by a 6-3 score in a gate that was much closer than the score indicates. With but 5 to 90: Steve 1,.

. Miglia scored our seomd

short—handed goal to even up the gate at 3-3. The

Mounties scored shortly

thereafter and the last two markers care as we strove, vainly, to even it up. Other scorers for our heroes were Val Mitchell and Shane Turner.

After Wednesday night's gate here with Mancton, our team goes to Halifax and Antigmish where they will play Saturday night at 7:00 and Sunday aftert-z noon at 2:00. and John Neville will bring, you the gates over cum and Cable 12.

It seems pretty chvious that we will have astruggletokeepin "‘ carpetitim mtil our ailing defensaten, Bd) Mitchell and Larry Arsenault get bad< into playing form after in- jury and operation. We feel that this tean is
