JOCK TALK

Re last weekend. . . .

It is not often that we have the opportunity to write such a pleasant column in which it is our delight to report that in intercollegiate competition UPEI teams performed 100%, winning all four of the contests in which they engaged and lost not a single one! What bliss!!!

We'll start off with the basketball Pantherettes, who ran their streak of triumphs to 13 as they overwhelmed L.N.B. (St. John) 63-18 and 63-28. Leading scorer in both games was Cathy Chandler (we had the pleasure of watching the first game seated beside her enthus- iastic parents, Stu and Wilma) while, in both games the most efficient rebounders were Alyson Maxwell, Mary Jane Ready, Heather MacLean and Sue Betts. We'd like to cement that the distaff of ‘ athletics seems to be ﬁle one in.whid1 the participants have FUN and

we noted that, when contestants bumped or tripped over one another they SMIED as they apologized or helped the other up. Hermie's charges have come a long way fran their winless seasm of

last year. They play at home against Mount A. on Friday and against Moncton on Saturday. We expect them to run their streak, by far the longest in UPEI

athletic history, to 15. Talking to Dave MaCNeil (that's"Hermie") last week, he expressed an unusual concern that his team had not been really extended in any game and he hoped that they would be able to cope with stiff opposition such as they are sure to encounter as they proceed in competition for Maritime honours. . . .it is a different game when a team has to struggle to maintain a one point lead. . .or to over— come, in the closing seconds, a one point deficit. So far, they have done everything asked of them

and we congratulate them. In Men's Basketball we

won a good game 81—75 from DalhOusie and upped our league record to 5-4 which keeps us in strong contention for a playoff spot. Larry McGhee, as usual, was the outstanding player on the floor and

is certainly the tallest

6 footer we have ever seen. Larry scored 26 points as he dominated play through- out. He seemed to cut through the Dalhousie

defense like a hot knife through soft butter. Jucb Kelly was our second high with 15. We were quite disappointed at an early painful shoulder injury that relegated Colin MacAdam first to the hospital and then to the sidelines. Colin, a former Panther now attending Dal for graduate studies, was understandably depressed as he had hoped to make a good shaving before the hometown fans who, in spite of his alien uniform, had given his introduction into play a cordial greeting. This Saturday, at 3:00, we will

be mated by league leading St. Mary's (rated #2 nationally). We are always glad to see Tom Kappos, a former Panﬂler (defected to the enemy) and we might . state that, actually, he is a real nice fellow but go I ahead and boo him but, if he goes to the Pub after the game...be nice to him. We are quite anxious to see Larry McGee and Mickey Fox on the same court.. .these may be the best players in Canada so. . . . .take your pid<.. . ..you be the judge. Mount Allison will visit our court on Sunday afternoon. 'Iheyf‘gave good ‘ opposition when the Panthers beat them on their om floor and this game ' cannot be taken .for granted. In h0d<eyr in a real good game: we eked out a 5-3 win over a stubborn Mount A, mam which never did give up. Rumour had it that, after the brawling, penalty. filled game, at Sackville a COLlPle of weeks ago, this would be a rough, rough O‘mtest but, we are pleased to report, such was not the case as both teams stuck to 990d hard hockey (hard hit. ting, yes...dirty, no) as they thoroughly entertained the'encouragingly large crwd that attended in sPite of the inclement

weather they had to endure on their way to the Forum, David Cameron was by far the outstanding player. on the ice and added to his lead in the league scoring race with a goal and three assists. ‘ We think his play is all the impressive by noting (and we invite yo to do the same) that he has, in all his games, been shadowed by the best defensive player the oppon- ents can ice. Other single scorers were Keh\Burtcn and Brian Ostroski while Shane Turner, returning after a long injury, contributed a pair to the Panther cause,

'lhe team plays at Sackville on Saturday and at Mmctm on Sunday. WThese are two "MUST" games and anyone interested in going on the trip is invited to phme 894-9194. We might add thai David broke Billy Weatherbie's old record of UPEI assists on Sunday as : notched his 58th, 59th and -60th of his career asa Panther; .

Outside of the regular miversity sports we think we should salute Peter Jenkins of the Sophomore Class as he skipped his " to win his third consec- utiveJunior Boy's' Provincial Curling ChampifII ship and he'll go, with hl5 team, to Victoria, B.c., fo the National Curling Championships March. is a somewhat '7‘_Lnique honour as he succeeds his brother Billwhohadwon three infa row before Peter started hi string and who won the national championship in his last year. Inasmuch 35 Peter graduates out of 319 "Boys" class this year, we think it must be encouraging to Bay Curlers’ whose name is not Jenklﬁs' to know there are nonmel coming; We wish Peter wel

We'd like that national1 diampimship,.Peter! J
