_- ‘Jock Talk
Panther win/lose averages were quite respectable this past week as we won five contests losing but three for a 62.5% showing. Certainly not a statistic about which we can complain. » A
In hockey our boys travelled to Wolfville, NS. for a game against Acadia. We were scheduled to play on Friday night but wind and weather conspired to make a strait crossing impossible so the contest was postponed until Sunday. Islanders are quite accustomed to such occurrences but we wonder what our newcomers thought about the delay. 7
It’s not too bad, boys, when you can’t go because of stormy conditions and we hope you’ll NEVER run into the difficulties occasioned by inclement weather while en route! Being stuck in a snowbank, or packed ice can be a most unhappy experience!
The delay did not seem to affect the Panthers too much as they had little difficulty in trimming the Axeman 4—1. Greg Gravel scored twice for us while Don Clow and Doug Currie got singles. This brings our record to 3-1 and bodes well for us as we face St. F.X. here on Saturday and the U. de Moncton on Sunday.
In a season as short as A.U.A.A. teams play, every game is important and a couple of weekend wins would be very acceptable. St. F.X. is one of the teams we must beat to qualify for the playoffs and Moncton is favoured to lead the league. ’
There is a new system this year as there is but one section with the top four teams qualifying in post season play for the league championship. We believe we have an-excellent chance of ending up in first or second place. I
After our soccer success we find we enjoy the somewhat unique experience Of being #1!
Our Women’s Volleyball team started off their season with a pair of contests against U.N.B. The Lady Panther lost both matches to the Red “Something or others” who ,were much- taller and more experienced than Coach Donna Sears" players who, in their starting lineup, have three newcomers to intercollegiate play and three sophomores.
’ They now face th‘ree “Away” games with St. F.X. and
_ Acadia and will not. be at home until after the Christmas
break, In their thii'd year of play, Coach Sears is confident
. that she has the talent to make the playoffs. r.
' In Lady Panther basketball exhibition play our team started
’ off in good style with a pair of wins over St. F.X. On Friday
night, sparked by Libby Baldwin’s 14 points we won 38-35
even though our rookie, Sonia'EdWards, from whom so much
is expected ran into early foul difficulties and exited in the first half! ' 7
On Sunday, at St. F.X., Sonia played a more careful game, scored a fgame-high'23 points and chalked up 13 rebounds as the Lady P.’s won 61-53 after trailing 26-28 at the half.
King’s College of Halifax will be here on Sunday for an e'xhibition'game before our team opens their A.U.A.A. league play against St. F.X. here November 22.

The men’s basketball team travelled to Maine this past weekend for three games and also, in some cases, to. renew their American accents.
On Friday they managed to nose out the U. of Southern Maine 56-55 after leading 33-31 at the half. On Saturday they were beaten in a low scoring defensive contest by a very good St. Joseph’s club whose accurate shooting seemed to be
‘ directed by answered prayers. We trailed 37-32 at halftime.
On Sunday Mike Morgan, with 27 points, led the Panthers to an easy 96-75 victory over Thomas College as all nine of the Panthers were on the scoreboard. Coach George Morrison was well pleased with the team’s performance in these three exhibition games as he was able to experiment with different combinations in preparation for the A.U.A.A.’s opening game Saturday night when former Panther coach Gary Heald will be here with his S.M.U. team.
Gary is a very nice chap and we wish him well EXCEPT when he plays the Panthers. -
ThegGuardian’s basketball pundit, Bob Gray (a former Panther) pickes the S.M.U. team to win the title this year and we hear that some of the Panthers are hoping to make him eat his column on Saturday night. Gary usually puts on quite a show and it will be interesing to watch him and our freshman coach George Morrison (no mean thespian) compete!
Probably our final note on soccer we congratulate Jean Francois Painchaud, Steve Polenz and Glen Smiley on being named as All—Canadians. We can think of others who were also worthy of the honour including Coach Gordie Wilson.
’We must also express our regrets that last week’s potato bulletin, sorry “Netted Gem”, gave the season’s record as 11-12. It should of course read 11-1-2. Quite a difference, there must have been a slipped finger somewhere!
We enjoyed the television showing of the 1-0 win by McGill
over the Panthers. Some said that McGill had the better team ‘ because they had territorial advantage. Our boys used that /
tactic several times this year in games they won.
It sounds as though our Warm Bun goalie (last time this year we’ll use that pun) wasn’t a member of the team!
We were particularly impressed with that incident in the game where Richard Pierre-Gilles and a McGill player struggled out-of—bounds for the right to throw in the ball. The referee blew his whistle to interrupt the mild altercation, reprimanded both and saw to it that they shook hands before play was resumed!
Wonder when they’ll introduce that custom into inter- collegiate hockey! '
