Curtis Brown won the tip— off as the Basketball Panter‘s season started, the ball went to Billy Redcmond who raced down the right side, cut in under the basket for
a lay-up and, with five seconds gone, our boys led 2-0 as the local rooters roared their appreciation. Unfortun- ately, it was their last opportunity! Fran then on (nationally ranked
as #3,) St.F.X. took over the play and led 14—2 before we garnered another point. It was 55—32 at the half and 90—79 when the game A1: one—point we remarked" it just was not our night. We really do not understand‘a basket ball. Some games or for sane teams the ball seems to defy gravit‘.r and spin

hopes for a. winning season as nearly all
of our players are
in their first or
second year of inter- collegiate canpetition and we expect they will improve as the season goes on. The factor that rally stood out in this game was that
