     Now that the fall sports 
     
     have been completed andthe 
     
     winter ones are in full 
     
     swing, I feel it is a good 
     
     time to look back over the 
     
     fall and see what has trans— 
     
     pired. Football is, of cour— 
     
     se,the main fall sport. The 
     
     footbal team at U.P.EII. 
     
     finished with a 1-5 won/lost 
     
     record. Many people around 
     
     campus, especially those in 
     
    

    
     ‘the media were very harsely 
     
     critical of the team's per— 
     
     formance and maybe justifi— 
     
     ably so. During the course 
     
     of The season many bad things 
     
     were said about the team and 
     
     its coaching. I have to ad— 
     
     mit that there were times 
     
     when I too said derogatory 
     
     remarks about the football / 
     
     program and its administra— 
     
     tors. The fact of the matter 
     
     is that we just didn't stop 
     
     to think what was transpir- 
     
     ‘ing. We had a football team 
     
     that finished with what some 
     
     people called a disasterous 
     
     record of 1—5. I would sug- 
     
     gest to those people that 
     
     they go dunk their heads in 
     
     a bucket of water. We had a 
     
     team that played most of the 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' season with less than thirty 
     
    
   
   
    
     players and several of those 
     
     were playing with injuries. 
     
     The team was never out of 
     
     the game until at least the 
     
     second half and in my opin— 
     
     ion and the opinion of sev— 
     
     eral others I have talked to 
     
     we could have just as easily 
     
     finished 3-3. We provided ‘ 
     
     exciting football throughout 
     
     ‘the year and just the idea 
     
    
   
   
    
     of trailing Saint Mary's 6-3 
     
     at the half is almost wOrth 
     
     the effort. Certainly Saint 
     
     Mary's and Acadia finished 
     
     on top and.I have heard peo— 
     
     ple ask why can't we be like 
     
     them. Well let me tell you 
     
     why. We can't be like them 
     
     because we don't want to be 
     
     like them. We use local peo; 
     
     ple on our athletic teams.’ 
     
     The bigger schools recruit 
     
     very strongly and as a re— 
     
     sult win a little more fre— 
     
     quehtly than us. Judging 
     
     from the very little time I 
     
     have spent at the mate ath— 
     
    
   
   
    
     vleticallyéinclined places, I 
     
    
   
   
    
     found that the athletes and 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘administration were under 
     
    
   
   
    
     incredible pressure to win. 
     
     In my opinion they have 
     
    

    
     lost the entire concept of 
     
     what sport is. True, it is 
     
     useless to enter an event 
     
     with the idea of losing but 
     
     it is also true that the Suc— 
     
     cess of a program does not. 
     
     rest solely with the result 
     
     of its teams in league stan— 
     
     dings. Our football team did_ 
     
     not have a winning year but 
     
     those thirty guys gave it 
     
     their all and they should be 
     
     commended for it. 
     
    

    
     Moving over to soccer, we 
     
     come to what was perhaps the 
     
     surprise squad of the fall 
     
     season. They earned four 
     
     ties in league play and ter- 
     
     rific improvements were evi— 
     
     dent on the field. They tied 
     
     two playoff teams during the 
     
     course of the season; both 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘Saint Mary's and UNB can ate 
     
    
   
   
    
     test to the fact that our
