we travelled to foreign , fields this past weekend as we followed the fortunes of the hodcey anthers in Antigonish and Cole Harbour (of all s!) '

m much-the same light mat our ancestors must have contemplated a trip around the Horn. However, they proved, much to

ineir own surprise, to be excellent sailors and

the turbulent waters. The st. F.X. game was one of the most exciting we have seen in recent years. It

was the type of contest that stirs us 1p most. .. i.e. one in whidn we have a lead whidn is being whittled away by the; opposition.

We led 2-1

at the end of the first and 5-2 as we went into the final period but X, with a strong bench (we med.but 13 players) really put on pressure. HWie Mirney managed to Limit them to 3 goals

(two of whidn bounced in °ff players swarming around his net) while Trevor Crawford's midr Eeriod goal proved to be winner for us as the 9% ended 6-5. X wlﬂndrew their goalkeeper Wth a little over a gunme— to go and their

pivotal play of the week- end was when, with about 15 seconds to go and

Howie on the left side of his net, a puck, passed to an X—man camped on the right side, slithered about. 2 inches across the front of the net and hopped over the swipe of the oppment's stick. Besides Trevor's, other goal scorers for UPEI

were Ken Burton, David Camerm, Brian Ostroski, Mike Sellick and Gary Trainor. Canadian Press reported shots on goal

to be 59—34 while our count was 46—30. . .both with .X as the heavy shooters. Either way and at any rate, Howie had a very busy afternoon. It was also a much needed win as far as our morale is concerned. We then took the trip, through pairing rain, with a detour through what must have been Lower Slobovia, to Halifax. Dalhousie has lost the use of their rink, through fire, and the game was scheduled for Cole Harbour which is in a remote , sectim beyond Dartmouth. We found the natives most inhospitable and ditto for the host team. As a

matter of fact we wondered, at one point, about the possible disappearance of UPEI fans and the team in case we won. The game was Rani with Referee Bob Conrad letting a lot go. . . at least that is the way it appeared to our eyes. The Dalhousie team is BIG and, quite possibly, may always play a rugged game. 'Iheir followers seemed to really enjoy it and badgered scne of our fans unmercifully. In our area, upon later reflection, we can understand some of their resentment. After all, it may have been a bit irritating to hear a stentorian voice (ours)

castigate their heroes (?) as being suitably arrayed in bright E11040 uniforms! After Brian Ostroski's goal in the opening minutes, Dal scored two goals to lead 2-1 at the initial break. 'Iheir first was a questionable score on a penalty shot awarded after we thought a Dal player had knod<ed the stick from an out-of— goal Howie Murney's grasp. Referee Conrad thought

he had thrown it, however,

here will be with St. F.X. and Dalhousie on 2 and 3 December.

As far as the basketball Panthers are concerned we have little to report. We have been impressed after watching them in practise and, hopefully, they will

have success in their league opening game whidn will be played at 8:00 in the Gym Thursday, the niglnt this paper will be issued.

and his was the opinion which counted. Dal got three unanswered goals in the second period and Rory Bedc, combining with

David Cameron and Shane Carr for a pretty goal, notched up the only score of the third period for a 5-2 final. This leaves us with a 1-3 league record. A report on our injured players does not offer-mudn encouragement for pre- Christmas play. Bdo Mitchell may be out for the season, Shane Turner has a torn cartilage and the possibility of further play this year will not be known for a couple of weeks, Danny Kinnear's

leg is in acastandhis return in January is

hoped for, Rick Hill is still limping, and looks distinguished carrying a cane, but expects to return to play for the second half of the sdiedule and 'IErry Devine, who has been playing so well, inspired by a call to the books and irritated by recurranoe of his last year's wrist injury has

decided to call it quits

'for this year at least. All in all, IF we can win a few before the sdnedule resumes after the break, we can make the playoffs and after that, who knows? The team goes away again this weekend to Acadia and Saint Mary's. Next games

As you know, their only intercollegiate play so

far has been in the Tip—Off Tournament where they beat Nbunt Allison quite handin but dropped the final to host Acadia by a wide margin. With rather peculiar scheduling, this is the only opportunity Panther fans will have to see their team at hone until 19 January. From then till the end of the sdnedule they will play

8 of their 10 games at home. We hope exhibitioi games can be arranged in the interval.

We haven't been able to learn mudn about the WINNINGEST TEAM ON CAMPUS, the apparently modest Pantherette basketball team which now boasts a 3—0 record!!!! - after winning none last year!!! ‘

The team, beating UNB (Saint Jdnn) 86-21 and

97—24 over the past weekend has now amassed a total of 236 points against 78 in league play. In Saint John, Heather Maclean seemingly could do nothing wrong as she scored 46 points in the two games.

They play U. de Nkzncton here on Saturday afternoon at 2:00. let‘s see....

when was the last time a UPEI team won 4 in a row????
