Genie Power, out of the lineup with a groin injury, voiced the opinion of the whole Panther team as he limped out of the Moncton Arena last Sunday, "Those guys had to be damn lucky to get a tie with us today" ...few of the Spectators would have disagreed.

In the opulent Louis Le- vesque Ice Palace with high scorer Ronnie LeBlanc frustrated for most of the afternoon by rugged Luc Bedard, who suffered a deep cut on his nose from a cross check (no penalty), our players maintained , a wide advantage in terr-

, itorial play but were held to a 4-4 tie. Thetovertime in particular, was ours as we had six good chances at their net while they had but one at ours!....in all

fairness we must add though,

'"What a one it was." Three Blue EagIE—forwards broke around our pressing attack and went in on Boyarski. Dave, however, made his

low

most spectacular save of

the season with a diving

catch on a point blank

, shot from six feet out. We didn't believe it. Goal scorers were, Jamie MacLeod, Don Kinsman, Louis Docherty, and Weatherbie. o o o o o Billy's was one of the rea- lly scarce kind...while we were two men short! It was

a fantastic game. Too bad

we can't give similar praise_

to the previous night‘s encounter with Mount A. in which we were blanked 3-0. We do not mean to detract “from the Mounties who play- ed a smart game, backcheck- ing relentlessly and not giving us a chance to get started. We would like to see our “Sunday” team play some games on Saturday too. Too often on road trips the pattern has been the same. We have seemed to be "off" in the first game and have been able to come roaring back with a dazzling dis- play in the second. 0n the other hand it could be worse...”Please Lord, don't let that "Saturday"team play on Sunday too."

We still have an excellent chance of making the play- offs as we have ten games remaining with eight at home and the only two on the road being against winless St. Thomas. (From our ex- perience though we can't take the Tommies lightly).

UNB, Mount A. and the Pant- hers have all lost five so

Sir:

Under normal circumstan— ces I would not dream of publicizing my experience -of a student.But since Mr. L.LeClair has chosen to attack me, with two of my colleagues, in the Univer— sity press, instead of availing himself of estab- lished Channels of com- plaint and appeal,he has left me no choice but to correct at least two of his more blatant misstate— ments in this way.

When Mr.LeClair\came to see me about his essay on Shaw and Wilde,an essay he correctly describes as a ‘mixture of"Bullshit" and lies,he was anything but silent.For an hour he proved to me that he knew no Shaw whatsoever,and no Oscar Wilde either.For another half an hour he blamed his woes and his dishonesty on me, on the genuine students of the

class, on the English ‘ Department, on the Univ- ersity, and on an entire social system that expects a university transcript to mean what it says.

Having a great concern for the truth, I can't say as much about his exper- ience in class as he app— arently feels able to, because.he was hardly ever there. I do remember his breaking his gloomy silence a few times to contribute huge, vague generalizations, most of which were demonstrably false and none of which he seemed able to support with illustrations or evidence. Perhaps one of those classes was on Shaw. But we had finished with Shaw before Mr.LeClair wrote his memorable paper, and at that time, as I've said, he was quite un— tainted by an acquaintance with Shaw's works.Evident— ly he disliked them un- read, and now-- unless he has been mending his

if we mop up in our home stand we should be in there. To make first we'll have to help as Moncton has lost but two. Remember that anything can, and usually does, hap- pen in the M.I.H.L.

In basketball we lost by an anticipated good margin to an Acadia team that, in Sp- ite of the fact they were beating us, was a pleasure to watch...much as we hate to be on the short end we had to admire their ball handling and all round good play (and envy it!). We felt our team had been strengthened considerably and we hoped to break out of the Zero in the win col- umn when we entertained Mt. A. but the ball didn't 1 bounce nor the whistle blow our way so we lost a close 1 game that could have gone either way. With X., St. Mary's and Dal. to play we can't feel too optomist- ic about the rest of the season but we know that the boys will be in there giv- ing their best...drop in and make some noise for them!!

By the way, in case you were puzzled by last week's issue, some wicked fairy chapped off the latter part of out letter to 8.0. Pres- ident Dianne MacDonald & tacked on somebody else's comments concerning movie prices...a subject about which we know nothing and care less.’

Wouldn't it be nice to ha- ve the hockey playoffs here? Go Panthers Go!!!

fences —— he hates them unread. I didn't teach him to hate them.I'm faraid I didn't teach him anything, though I tried.

Should Mr.LeClair decide to appeal his mark in my course, a mark that I ad- mit was misleading insofar as it was more than he deserved, I have his "Bullshit" paper, his letter in lieu of a longer paper, and his exam on file. I will be happy to submit them to a qualified appeals tribunal.

When he was nine, my brother used to refuse to read a book if he didn't like its cover.But he grew out of it. Until Mr.Le Clair grows out of his pen- chant for tantrums and self-pity, and out of his aversion to studying books as opposed to spouting hot air about them, the English Department's loss is Eng- lish literature's gain.

Yours,

F.M. Frazer.
