we‘havelong regretted the demise of the Maritime In- tercollegiate Debating So- ciety and we sympathize with recent efforts to re— vitalize this activity 10- cally. Not too long ago, interest on campus in this sphere rivalled that in sports and large and inter- ested audiences used to pa— ck the gymnasium when vi—‘ siting teams participated... why sometimes people came from points as distant as Southport! we were then quite encou- raged on Wednesday night when it became obvious that a sister university, Mount Allison, shares our nostal- gia...they also have a long tradition...and it appears that several of their de— bating buffs have two int- erests as they also play on the hockey team! It was, however, quite evident, very early in the game, that re— feree Jake Kennedy has ab—. solutely no enthusiasm for this activity and he effec— tively rebutted the sever- al propositions they sub- mitted with ease and final— ity. His unfortunate attit— _ude to Mount A. resulted in - several of their players being awarded the opportun- ity of watdhing the game, 'for ten minute intervals, from the penalty box. They just seemed unable to acc- ept the fact that Mr. Kenn-

edy made his point early in the first period and their persistance in trying to engage him in argument may well have cost them the ga— me and was no compliment

to their powers of observa— tion...or‘prudence.

As far as the 4—3 game it- self was concerned it was not one of either team's better efforts, although it was wildly exciting with Billy weatherbie scoring the deciding goal in the last minute of play. Like the two wins over St. Thomas, what we term the "Saturday team" won the games but their play bore little re- semblance to the "Sunday" team that, for example, played Moncton...We must, however, pay tribute to the "will to win" spirit of th—

eir goalie Ted McComb who: hit in the forehead in the_ first period by a weatherble shot that nearly decapitated him, continued to play an outstanding game, making 42 saves bearing a "Grade A Large" sized egg on his fo- rehead. we hated to cheer against such courage.

In BASKETBALL we were at the SMU game (a loose term) and we would offer a mild suggestion that future fea— tures such as this should be well publicized in ad- vance and staged in the cen— ter of the court rather th- an in a corner. From our poor vantage point all we saw was Wade Gregory and a SMU player juusting..being put off the floor...an elbow. a punch that missed... play-_ ers jumping off the bench.. an obdurate Jack Kane stan— ding, with arms folded and chin cutthrust warning off any possible spectator participation...a bevy of football players (including the bearded Gold Dust Twins) jumping off the stage and forming a wall around the milling players. While we did mot see a blow struck, we, don't feel such actions have any place on a basket— ball floor...on the other hand, when did you last see a 60—19 game end in such an exciting fashion?

Going outside our sports observations, for once, we were quite distressed and wonder why in heaven's name in last week's Cadre, the names listed for competition as this year's "Carnival Princess" were preceeded by Ms.??? Calling a sexy do— ll Ms. is an anomoly we ca- n't let pass without vigor-
