Panthers
The U.P.E.I, Panthers had a rough time of it last weekend as they man— aged to eek out only one ‘point in a two game home series against the U.N.B. Red Devils. '
On Friday night the Panthers were completely disorganized in the first two periods and they fell behind 7 - 3. However, they came back in the third but it was a case of too little too late as they came out on the short end of a 8 - 6 score.
In the first period, the Panthers fell behind 4 - 0 as the Red Devils completely hemmed the Panthers in their end. Scoring in the first \ period were Steve Benoit, Bob Keefe, Brian Tapp and Morell native Don MacAdam. The Panthers were outshot in the that period 18 — 9 with Steve Van Diest in the Panthers cage coming up with many fine saves to keep the score as low as it was. ‘
In the second the Red Devils built up a'5 - 0 lead on a goal by Greg Holst before Shawn MacIsaac scored the Panthers first goal; Steve Benoit got his second goal to increase the lead to 6 - 1 for the Red Devils. Goals by Gene Power and Claude Lambert narrowed the margin to three goals but before the period was over Gerry Bell, a former Panther gave the Red Devils a four goal lead once again. \
In the third the Panthers scored two goals to cut the lead to 7 — 5. zScoring were Lambert with his second and Jack MacEachern. '
However at the 13 minute mark, Don MacAdam put the game out of reach as he
scored his second goal on
tie, lose at.
a power play. Billy Weatherbie scOred the last and prettiest goal at 16:52 as he skated through the whole U.N.B. team.
Final shots on goal showed the Panthers out— shot by a margin of 55 f 25 causing one fan to observe "I've never seen a goal— tender with eight goals scored against him look so good." -
The Panthers were never able to mount a power play," as the U.N.B. Red Devils were never Shorthanded. This was not quite'the case with the Panthers as they were Shorthanded 9 times and three of these times they were short- handed two men.
On Sunday, the Panthers played a better game but. still they found themselves behind 3 — 0 at the ten minute mark of the third
. period before they came on
with fire in their eyes as they tied the game; with the tying goal scored with
ten seconds left in the game.
There was no scoring in the first period as both

and Guy Desaulniers in the Panthers cage playing great goal. \
In the second period goals by Bob Keefe, Mike . Kohler and Don MacAdam gave the Red Devils a 3 - 0 -lead.
The Panthers seemed to catch fire in the third period and had it not been for the great goaltending of Gord Hubley, the Panthers would have gotten on the scoreboard earlier than they did. However, Hubley< finally was beaten at 11:29 mark by Tom Haywood.

goal by Billy Weatherbie. This set the stage for a wild and wooly finish. With Desaulnier out in favor of a sixth attacker Claude Lambert got the puck at the blue line and sent in a hard shot along the ice that Gene-Power managed to tip behind Gord Hubley. Mass Celebration unequalled in numerous years was the score at Panther stadium.

The UPEI Basketball team playing more like pu— ssies than Panthers, drop- ped their first two league games last weekend. Dalh— ousie triumphed by 6 pts.. on Friday night, and ST.F. X. ran away with the game by 17 on Saturday.
On Friday night, a Dal team that does not re- semble any Dal team of pr— evious years, ran rough- shod over our boys in the first half and emerged with a 13 point lead. The Panthers battled back in the second half to scare- the much bigger Dal team, but the rally fell short in the dying minutes of
r the game. UPEI,employing a
man to man press, seemed to have the game turned ar ound, but two missed lay- ups after turnovers gave' the momentum back to Dal. 'John Gooden, a transfer- from Acadia, was high point man for the Tigers with 28 and did a great defensive job. O'Shaughnessy hit 20 for UPEI, as the team made an amazing 30% of their shots from the floor.
On Saturday night,the X-men parlayed their trem- endous height advantage and the Panthers' cold sh- ooting into a quick 13 pt. lead which they never re- linquished. Both teams em- ployed a zone defense th- roughout most of the game. The Panthers' l~2~2 was particularly beneficial to St.F.X., as it found such unlikely combinations as 5'89 Mike Connpily guard—

1 X's zone, on the oth— er hand, was impenetrable. Coach Dave Smith tried to draw them out of it in the second half with a man to man offense, but Packy Mac Farlanes’ boys refused to go for it, and the Pant- hers' shots continued to bounce off the rim.
‘It is the old story of UPEI shooting well at home on the wooden boards, and getting bombed when they throw 'em up against the glass on the road.
' This Friday night, UPEI plays St. Marys in the Alumni Gym. The game was originally scheduled for Sunday, but has been changed. St. Marys is one of the best teams in the country,and should be a real treat to see. On Wed- nesday night, Mt. Allison comes to the Island. This writer predicts UPEI 96 MT. Allison 65. Come and See!
