In hockey our gladiators travelled "Away" to Nova Scotia and dropped a "Bad" game to the fast skating X—Men 12-5. a poor start and were never really in the game. Score by periods was 4-2, 11-3 and 12-5. At one unhappy stage in the second period, X got 4 in one minute, 38 seconds. It would appear that our goalkeepers were offside too often, i.e. they kept skating ahead of the puck!

We have always envied those who know the right thing to say when the right thing needs to be said and sowewonderwhat world one is supposed to say in cementing upon a sports week in which we Won no games and dropped 5 and by not too respectable

In basketball we dropped our first league game to Acadia by a 103—76 score. Acadia with superior height and experience got away to a quick start and were never headed. We have a team that is fast and hard-j working and should give

‘ fans plenty of good enter— ‘4 tajnment'before the season

is over. It should be remanbered however, that we have another new Coach who ' came late in the surmer and the whole team is facing anuphill struggle. It was .a very noticeable, from where we sat, that, in spite of - the score, the team kept trying throughout and a'

' spectator who came in during

the final five minutes and who did not know the score, might have thought that he was. watching the end of a very close game.

We'd like to quote from a recent Patriot column of Bill Iedwell, "It has been impossible to get scores of sane A.U.H.A. games in recent weeks, which is a ridiculous and needless situation." We concur with Bill and wonder at the lack of aggressive promotion. The

. league has a GOOD product but

has, for years, seemed reluctant to give'out the

' publicity that might result

in much better attendance. It‘..is foolish to blame. the

v local press for lack of

cOverage on outside games; it shouldbe a league responsib- ility to get the information to the wire services. ‘7 We might add that the same fault might ,be‘fomd with the

' basketball coverage and
