SMU 28 - UPEI 7 
     
    

    
     With the last play of the | 
     
     game coming up and with 
     
     the Panther offense and 
     
     defence squads changing pl- 
     
     aces on the field, the la- 
     
    

    
     -xge crowd of UPEI fans, 
     
     who had made the trip to 
     
     Halifax and who were seat* 
     
     ed behind the Panther ben- 
     
     ch, rose to their feet and 
     
     gave a long and loud stan- 
     
     ding ovation to their "Ci- 
     
     nderella" team which was 
     
     just finishing the best 
     
     season that any Panther 
     
     team had ever attained.It 
     
     was a fitting tribute and, 
     
     we hope, demonstrated to 
     
     the boys that, win, lose, 
     
     or draw, all Islanders are 
     
     justly proud of them!! 
     
    

    
     As for the game...well it 
     
     just was not our day..... 
     
     the day belonged to SMU 
     
     quarterback Bill Robinson, 
     
     he REALLY beat us....this 
     
     time we managed to stop 
     
     his passing pretty well... 
     
     only to have him run all 
     
     three of their touchdowns 
     
     in!!!!How can you beat a 
     
     guy like that?? 
     
    

    
     The bus trip with Vera in 
     
     charge, was a lot of fun & 
     
     everyone had as good a ti- 
     
     me as could be expected 
     
     when we lost. We'd like to 
     
     pay a tribute to Vera who 
     
     has certainly added a lot 
     
     to our travelling enjoyme- 
     
     nt. Some have asked if the 
     
     Student Union will be run- 
     
     ning trips to hockey games 
     
     and the answer will depend

     1s that most hockey trips 
     
     will be overnight affairs 
     
     so we'll wait and see what 
     
     happens.

     , In the opening game of 
     
     the invitational tourname- 
     
     nt at Antigonish, our boys 
     
     got away to a sorry start 
     
     as they were unable to co- 
     
     pe with the taller and mo- 
     
     re experiencedX-Men. What- 
     
     ever chance we might have 
     
     had to make the contest a 
     
     close one was lost in the 
     
     early stages of the game 
     
     when centerman Jamie Ball- 
     
     em was forced to leave be- 
     
     cause of a broken probos- 
     
     cis (look that one up). We 
     
     anticipate rapid improve 
     
     ment in this team as it is 
     
     mainly composed of Island 
     
     boys, many of whom are ge- 
     
     tting their first taste of 
     
     intercollegiate competiti- 
     
     on. 
     
    

    
     UPEI 2 — Mount A. 2 
     
    

    
     Hockey coach, Vincie Mul- 
     
     ligan was quite unwilling 
     
    
   
   
    
     to accept this tie as he 
     
     felt that, on the play of 
     
     the game, we deserved a 
     
     win. We outshot the Mount- 
     
     ies 37-27....which statis- 
     
     tic is of the same import- 
     
     ance as the count of left 
     
     handed spectators in the 
     
     ¥ink, 2... they: still ‘count 
     
     goals only. Goal scorers 
     
     for us were Tom Hayward & 
     
     Billy Weatherbie while Al- 
     
     an Lund and Dave Keough 
     
     beat our goalkeeper, Dave

     Boyarski. This is the sec- 
     
     ond year in a row that we 
     
     have opened the MIHL sea- 
     
     son with a tie with Mount 
     
     A. so...-just like last 
     
     year we should be in there 
     
     Back to football for fin- 
     
     al comments....while SMU 
     
     had only a mild and obvio- 
     
     us Panther pun the Chroni- 
     
     cle-Herald still resented 
     
     the beating that we gave 
     
     Acadia and again blamed it 
     
     on the rain....their pre- 
     
     diction, that the game 
     
     would be "The mismatch of 
     
     the season" was certainly 
     
     not borne out....so we,re- 
     
     fuse to make any apologies 
     
     for placing second in the 
     
     league!!! Neither can we 
     
     get excited about the fact 
     
     that a Halifax radio comm- 
     
     entator made upon Grant 
     
     Canvin, calling him a"A 
     
     6'8" big mouth" because of 
     
     comments he had been repu- 
     
     ted to make about SMU.... 
     
     to those who know Grant, 
     
     calling him a "Big Mouth" 
     
     is certainly ludicrous. 
     
     Our first reaction was to 
     
     wonder if this character 
     
     hidden behind a microphone 
     
     would have had the courage 
     
     to say’the same things to 
     
     Canvin's face, but then we 
     
     decided that Grant would 
     
     be so amazed that he'd do 
     
     nothing......Grant Canvin 
     
     is a GENTLEMAN...which de- 
     
     scription, we are sure, 
     
     cannot be applied to his 
     
     detractorl rr: lr!
