' and the saVage "THUMP" as fast moving bone, muscle and leather clashes .head on with fast moving bone,muscle and leather

Last Saturday afternoon

we were so bold as to be onothe sidelines as the, Football Panthers enjoyed(?) their first scrimmage of the season. it is certainly

. a different game when One is so close to the play. From

‘the stands, plays seem to

gidevelop naturally and the 7 participants appear to be‘ like little automatons, moving hither and yon,

. opening up or plugging holes while getting buf- feted around or being ‘ tackled gently and sprawling on soft surf while the at- tempt is being made t0‘ advance the ball a scant l0 yards-- just the length of two markers... it ~ really looks like FUN. Close up where one hears

one can really appreciate« what a hard anatintricate game it is as the players attempt to advance the ball a long, long l0 yards. In other words' the ID yard length is not a constant measurement..L from the press box, it looks short...but I'd say tothe offense, facinq a , scowling/0pponent in a- crouch, it looks to be " One Hell of a distance! ' It was a hard scrimmage -- no quarter being given and we admire the noise

of theRabbi as he applied the

-bandages and the tools ‘ ‘ of his trade to the.injured§ athletes, We hear with; regret that Dave Connaughton is expected to miss the opening game. It is hard to

‘ report much about a r scrimmage... we don't '>~

yrecognize the players with all of.their gear on. We are happy.to say'that'Rick Kiraly made several good runs and threw long TI D.‘V passes to Socky MacDonald, Mike Jones and J. P. Mclntyre. Socky, by the way, was playinu both ways. We also noted reokie Jim Mclnnis, playing with his high school helmet,»

.making several good running forays. ;

_ ' First game will be this Saturday_in Fredericton and, if you can't be there, listen to Gordon MacAlpine on>

,CIMN or on cable. Last year we lost by three T.D.'s but we hope for a different_ story this time. A.

We might add, as a side story that the players on the F. B. team went out;to the North Shore for a swim ~

Sunday afternoon and not V being use to the surf, rookie Danny Desjardins, ran into the bouncing waves and, with water over his,hipsg tookﬂ an exuberant sWan.dive, The water reCeded as he went up. and he landed face first into a sand bar with the water' ankle deep! To Danny gOeS‘/

‘ the dubious distinction Of being"the very first claimant of the.scholastic year for» 'zurich insurance! He will!” not be lost to the team. ,

The field hockey team will be in St. John's against M. U. N. on Sturday and Sun! day. We saw them practiSing and may report that they are a hard running squad, We wish- rthem every sUCcess.
