U.P.E.I. 21 or 22»

Mount A. 16 or 17 And of those scores puzzle you it is because_of our puzzlement after listen— ing to the excellent acc- ount ot the game that Paul Durant and Mike Hennessey gave over CSUR. It would appear that Mount A.-had no scoreboard and there was no communication from their vantage point so the exact score was in doubt. After one exciting time V in the game Mike was quiet for over five minutes and we were afraid that he hadflfallen off his high stool and injured himself. We missed seeing the game because, on Thursday our car blew a frost plug. ’ We never\knew before_that we had a frost plug. It' took a day to fix it. On Friday, when the garagemen took‘the car off the ramp and started to drive it to us, it made like Ves- uviOus again and he dis- covered that we had blown two frost plugs. We hadn't even suspected before this that we owned TWO frdst plugs! Anyhow that put our getting to Sackville out of the question inas— much as the bus had to be cancelled, due to the fact that only TEN people were willing to put $4. in Jane McCormac's hand. We are very sorry about this for it may knock out any chance of future bus trips. Considering that it costs $1.30 for return fare on the ferry we thou— ght the price reasonable. we will wager that, if we had gone, we would have

had at least 20 stowaways on the return’trip!

With circumstances ag— ainst us we decided to stay in CharlOttetown and see what happens when the team plays on "Foreign" fields. We went first to the Women's Field Hockey. We like the game. There was a great deal of runn-

. ing around and there app-

ear to be NO substitutions. No arguing either. They hit the ball HARD...about as far as I usually top

my golf drive but much harder. We seemed to score the first goal but it

was not allowed and this seemed to take a lot of starch out of our girls and they finally succumbed by a 3 — 0 score. We heard a suggestion from a TOP faculty member that his group should play the girls. If this comes about

I'd suggest cardiograms before game time and str- etChers at the benches for those lassies really keep moving. We also watched

a good part of the soccer game. Also an entertaining sport. We had always th— ought of the ball being kicked but it is a game

in which the players can also use their heads.

.They must keep a lot of

aspirin on hand. We trailed 4 - 0 at the time the

{second half of the foot-

ball game started and when that score was 10-0 we considered we were having more egg trouble than Eugene Whelan and Beryl Plumtree!

You see, all this time we were following.the game in Sackvillethrough our pocket transistor. Throughout the first half Mike and Paul seemed to

be labouring in an effort to make the game sound close. It just seemed like

one of those days when we

should have stayed in bed. We perked up a bit when Eddy 0 got his first T.D. and the shout that Paul Durant made when he made his 98 yard run almost ‘ blew our eardrum but we should have been happy even with that sacrifice. When Grant Canvin passed to Jones for the winner we were really ecstatic. Picking players from a radio broadcast is ridic- ulous but there is always a turning point in a game ...something that seems to give the winners a bit more drive and, from the broadcast, it would seem to have been a penalty to Bobby Thompson, we really don't think Durant and Hennessey can be classed as unprejudiced observers so we don't know if it was deserved, but it did seem to light a U.P.E.I. spark. Bobby, relegated by the referee's decision to a spectator role must have been delighted. Well that's two wins and next week it will be U.N.B. here...probably with our old star Billy Simmons. We wish him well in his studies too.

Our final thought is about hockey. We are par- ticularly pleased with the performance of the old men on Team Canada and we'd take this opp— ortunity to assure Jack Kane, if he feels in trouble, that he has four years of elegibility left and all he has to do is ask!
