Mud: has happened in Panther athletic endeavours

since our last discussion so,

after digging into our hat

_for the sequence, we'll

start off with hockey. Needing a clean sweep of their last two games in order to make the playoffs our boys tumed U.N.B. aside with 7—2 and 6-3 wins. Goal scorers in the two games were Wilfred

ﬁMacDonald with 3, Shane

Carr, Rory Beck and Trevor Crawford with a pair each while Gary Trainor, Ken Burtcn, Mike Selleck and Larry Arsenault contributed singles. The Panthers

season 10—9-1 and squeezed into the playoffs after Dal beat x in overtime.

Playing

with but 13 men (and with some of them suffering) the Panthers were accorded little chance of extending league winners and nations 1 ally ranked (#2) Saint Mary's. However we have never heard of a Jack

Hynes' coached team which gave up, in easy fashion,

to an odds—on-favourite and our heroes carried S.M.U.

to a 3 game series that required over 219 minutes of play! In the first gane, described by many as the most exciting they had ever witnessed, we shocked Saint Mary's with a 5—4 win... Brian Ostroski's goal at 19.44 if the SEODND over- time being the winner. Other goals were scored by Ken Burton, Gary Trainer

and Shane Carr who had a This was the first ever win, in hodcey, for UPEI over S.M.U.! The second game was close all the

.way and with us trailing

2—3 late in the third and

pressing for a tiemaker, S.M.U. scored an insurance

goal on a breakaway to win 4-2. Ken Burton and Gary Trainor scored our goals. In the third, and deciding, game scores by Brian Cameron, Ken Burton and Wilfred MacDonald had us leading going into the final period but the short— handed and exhausted Panthers could not hold off the Santamarians who scored 2 and the Panthers thus bowed out of season's play with a courageous perform— ance that earned the admiration of the opposing players and spectators as well as their own fans. _ They were not beaten. . .justr outscored.

In\ basketball Kevin Feighrey's Panthers, relegated to last place by the outside press in pre- season estimates, clawed their way into second place

‘ E K

with a split in their two final games of league play. They dropped one to Acadia, in Wolfville, by an 88—78 score. Larry McGhee was high scorer with 28 points. Next night, in Halifax, they trimted Dalhousie 79—72, Larry again being our top scorer with 24. The Panther season, however, came to an unexpected end with a resounding jolt in the Metro Centre in Halifax as St. F.X. whom we had beaten in our two previous encounters, whomped us 86—65 with Ken Salter's 29 being our high. We mentioned in our last coluIm that other teams, more highly regarded early in the season, had enjoyed the privelege of playing

Ken Salter in this 10,000 seat audit— orium while the lightly regarded Panthers had been relegated to the smaller gynnasia and Coach Feighrey felt that sudden exposure to such grandiose quarters had affected the play of his d'larges. However,

although sidetracked early in the proceedings we believe that has every right to be proud of his team and its season's performance and UPEI has plenty of reason to be proud of both the team and Kevin.

Graduating from UPEI with honours, only two years ago and carrying top-athlete awards Kevin attended grad— uate study last year and,with the sudden and late departure of our last year’s coach, Kevin returned here to teach history and to coach basket— ball on a part time basis.

Starting from scratch,and with none of lasttyear’s first string returning,Kevin put his charges into national ranking and secons place

in the highest rated league in the countrylwell done team.Well done Kevin.
