We do not recall that the sun has ever shone as brightly over MacAdam Field as it did on Satur- day afternoonas the , Panthers ended a season of gloan and frustration by demolishing a hapless Mount Allison squad by a resounding 49—0 win. rmis was a team that had

beaten us 13—6‘ earlier I “

in the season in some mysterious fashion. Actually this game wasn't even as close as the 49 point margin might in- dicate, inasmuch as _ penalties cancelled out ‘ at least three more Panther touchdams. It seened as though our heroes, after taking knocks all season from an unkind fate, got (or made) in this game, all the breaks that might be ex- pected to be distributed over a season. Fran the opening kickoff all the soup was duck for the Panthers. Rick Kiraly,_ displaying the emertise that we are all aware he is capable of attaining, was a~whirling dervish all afternoon. This was a game it was rumored he might miss because of'

an injured shoulder but, slithering and slipping. over the damp ground, he evaded and dodged tacklers and scored no less than four touch- downs, all on running plays. John John Paul Paul MacIntyre MacIntyre scored three, the first on a 72 yard run, the second on a blocked . punt and the third by blasting in from the 2 yard line. Great was the Enthusiasm in the stands

when, in the second

, it was announced that he had already gone over the 100 mard yark. 'Ihe sixth Panther touchdown came when Girl Adams ran fran the ant A. seven yard line with! a blocked punt; Graduating Mike Lyriotolkis and Larry Currie enjoyed the after- noon by spending most of their time in the Momties backfield and we actually felt sorry for the Garnet and Gold Q.B. as he was dumped no less than 7 times. looking at the league standings seems ludicrous. We did get out of the cellar by a technicality (outscoring Mt. A. with the sane 1-6 record) but- who ever heard of a 1—6 team with a 143—139 scoring statistic? It could only happen at U.P.E.I. While we say "Wait till next year" we must ccnment that Mike Lyriotolkis, Larry Currie, Mike Jones and Blaine MacPherson will certainly be missed and we wish them good fortuneas

they leave us by graduation.

We congratulate aslo the sane Lyriotolkis, as well as Vernon Paul, Socky MacDonald and John Paul MacIntyre who, deservedly, were named members of the

\

r All—Conference team.

While congrats of the nature are being passed around, we are also pleased to .report that Joanne mclean of the Lady Panthers was also picked as an All—star in the Atlantic Conference Field Hockey team.

In hockey, the story wasn't so pleasant. In the Panther 'Iburnament at the

The tournament was won by Acadia. As a matter of small consolation to us, two of our players were chosen on the all-star team with Wilfred MacDonald (the mantle piece in his living roan must be cluttt ered up with trophies) being chosen as an out- standing defenseman and

Iouis Iortie getting the nod for the left wingers. We feel the expected return of the mo injured players, Larry Arsenault and Bob Mitchell, will'im- prove our play a great

Our team looked‘ good at times but suffered an old Panther jinx, out- shooting the opposition

in both games but it is the number of times the puck gets BEHIND the goalkeeper that creates the impOrtant statistics. First league gane will be in the Forum on the 9th and we'll remind you that this will be noisenaker night. Monoton, who will be our opponents, alwa'ys bring over a large

The season is now over for the hardworking and little-appreciated boys who play this game with their feet and heads. Their season record of 2 wins & a tie in 10 contests makes them the winningest team on campus. We are also pleased to report that the Student Union is trying to arrange for a bus to transport students to the Forum and back for the BIG PANTHER NOIst NIGHT. Listen to your radio Station, " CIIVN, and watch the bulletin boards for con— firmation. John Neville is also arranging a big treat for someone. . . admission to the Panther lounge after the game will be one dollar. . .for a disco, and some lucky person will receive the prize of a free, all expense paid excursion for two people on an away trip for two Panther hockey games. Let us get the Panthers off to a good league start by packing the Forum next Wednesday night; bring tin pans, horns, and whatever other noisemaking devices your imagination let's have a ball and let our team know we are behind it!
