Watching a World Series on T.V. and, at the same time attempting to keep track on thebradio, of the-'N.B. election as well as three federal by- elections is certainly

. 9:00 P._M. on'I‘uesdays. To start first with the bad news. . .our Field Hockey team dropped a pair to classy U.N.B. by 9-0 and 4-0 scores. For those of us whose pro- vincial ego might be hurt by this we'll ob- serve no less than five of the visitors were frcm P.E.I. . . . includ— ing All-Canadian~ scoring star Donna Phil- lips! We are no»; left with a slight chance to make the playoffs but must win all three re- mainjnggames. ‘S.M.U.,

In the lobster Pot Tournament played in Halifax last weekend the U. de Monoton Blue Eagles beat Dal- housie 6-4 in the final game while Saint Mary's topped U.N.B. 5-1 in the consolation match. Our Halifax informant ad- vises us that Moncton sc scored FIVE power-play goals &, in the final seconds, one into the empty Dal. net. Seems advisable to have six men on the ice when playing them! Against a full team they went score less with the National Champion Mono— ton and always-strong Saint Mary's here this weekend we should have a pretty good idea by amday night as to how we will shape up this year against the others in the always strong league. ' A cheering crowd helps so be there}! Turning to Volleyball ( (at last) Coach Donna Sears estimates that our team has great potential this year. We are in a one league format so will be playing & rated among the best in the region. With a little luck. a lot of hard work, total team effort & concentra- 'tion UPEI should finish among the top four at the end of the season.
