UPEl misses out on AUAA
By Mickey Place
Panther Basketball fans re- turning from the weekend’s Atlantic Universities’ Basket- ball Conference playoffs in Halifax were well pleased with their team’s perfor- mances, although a trifle dis- appointed with the unkind fate that had not given them the Atlantic title.
Slated to face St. Mary’s in their first game, the Panthers were quite surprised to learn that the Dalhousie Tigers had been named league champions and'that it was that team they would be playing.
In this feline contest the Tigers took an early lead which the Panthers managed to Whittle down‘ to 32-28 at the half.
Playing their first game this season in the cavernous Metro Centre, the Panther’s shooting was dismal.
However, with the score close mi'd'way in the final session, Coach George Morrison inserted Curtis Brown, who had played well for his short time in the
opening half, into the lineup. His aggressive play seemed to spark the Panthers offense
as they outscored Dal 15-l|
within a short space of time ‘& coasted to a 78-64
,their first ever at the Metro
Centre!
Curtis was high for us with 20, while Tejan Alleyne, re- cently recovered from a bout
with flu bugs, was right behind with 19. Dal was our surprise
opponent due to St. Mary’s having forfeited two games played last fall, in which they used an' ineligible player. As this is the second recent forfeiture for this reason by a S.M.U. team, Dr. Kenneth Ozmon, President of St. Mary’s University has ordered an inquiry.
We sincerely believe that any irregularity in these instances is due to honest
errors in records or by mis- representations, as we can- not conceive of Dr. Ozmon tolerating any situation that was not 100% honest, and we do not
consider for one
instant that Coach JGary Heald would have any part of any dishonourable action.
NEVER!
As St. Mary’s Huskies defeated St. F.X. in the other knockout game, we were up against them in the final on Saturday afternoon.
The story is a simple one.
S.M.U. took an early lead. We caught up at 3868 and the half ended 40-40.
They spurted ahead at the resumption of ply. We caught up at 48-48 and then the roof fell in on us!
Our shooting, which had been atrocious, got worse and the Huskies scored 11 con- secutive points.
Although we twice man- aged to pull within 5, we were unable to’ maintain the pressure and lost out 78—67.
During this disastrous slump George Morrison rushed Curtis Brown into the fray, just as he had done the night before.
However, canny Gary Heald called a time out for a Husky player instructional conference and Curtis was

Mike Morgan was high for us with 23 while Tejan Alleyne and Ty Norman had 18 each.
We are happy to report that Mike was picked for the first Allstar team. Of . him the selection comment read, in part, “Morgan can play with the big men despite his height disadvantage. ’ ’
Poor little Mike only 6’4”.
Tejan Alleyne made the second team. He’s only 6’2”!
We feel that the unfamiliar surroundings, different play- ing surface, and different backboards with which the other teams were familiar) werevpartially responsible for

our shooting, which was away below our usual standard.
However, we have just
received news that we have been invited to take part in the regional tournament at Waterloo, Ontario.
We play Western in the opening game while McGill and Waterloo are paired off
for the other contest. The winners will play for the regional championship on Saturday.
The last rankings we saw, we think, had Western rated #8 nationally and Waterloo #5. We beat McGill quite easily earlier in the year at Ottawa. . .
It should be similar to the tournament we just ex- perienced in Halifax so that, if o'ur shooting accuracy comes back, we have a very good chance of winning and thus going back to Halifax for the C.I.A.U. champion- ships on 15-17 March.
We are making plans!
