6 In your mercy please have V pity on the poor judges who, last week, were faced with the extremely difficult task - of pid<ing UPEI's out- standing athlete for November and December. Nominee for Women's Basket— ball was Heather Maclean. Heather has starred for a team that was 8—0 at that time. ‘Ihis is the best score anyrUPEI team has ever enjoyed. She has not had a poor game and the fact I that her team was not over- 1 extended in winning every game should not be considered as a demerit to ' her excellent performances. For Men's Basketball there was Iarry McGhee, a team leader who has starred in every game that his team ‘ Co; LTD. 894-4748 The Home of Good Shoes Since 1920 HE LE PAGE SHOE GEA FTON STREET has played this year, particularly in the upset(?) win over nationally ranked St. F.X. when, in Antigcnish, wifii a couple of thousand hostile fans screedqing and screaming, he sunk 5 out of 5 foul- shots in the final half minute to give the Panthers a 1 point win. Then there was David Cameron, the hockey team leader. David, going into the last two games of the pre—Xmas term with the team 1—5 and needing two wins to stay in contention, figured in 8 out of the 9 goals that were scored as we squeeked out a pair of victories. that it took the judges a couple of hours, deep in concentration, before they gave the McDaiald aWard to David Camerm. We understand that the debate is still intense among the partisans of the different sporting activities and we are tempted to submit a scrabble diampion (initials J.T.P.) for next month in order to create a diversion. (Did you know that "xu" is the 1/100 part of a "Dong"? But to get to specific ' 28 points behind. It is no wonder ‘ sports. In basketball, our league record went to 3—3 as the Panthers split two against the U.N.B. Red , Raiders in Fredericton. In the first game we trailed at the half 28—40 and, with but 15 minutes to go, were For the rest of the game with what has been described as 'the greatest comeback in UPEI history" , we outscored the somewhat bewildered Redmen 50—10 to win, going away, 79-67. Larry McGhee led .4sz: _ .or PM ‘ mom._.;.; . the scorers with 30 points and Jude Kelly ‘Was second for us with 15. However, Larry sprained an, ankle in the closing moments of this, the first game, and Bill Fanning was injured, so that Larry's play in the second game was limited and Bill was out as we trailed, at the half, by 6 and lost out 81—75. We might add that, if a team HAS to lose a game, it doesn't hurt as intensely to lose to_U.N.B. as their coach, Don Nelson, is conceded by even his rivals to be One of the nicest guy guys in his business. The Panthers play here against Dalhousie this Friday night at 8:00 and, as we'll be in close cmtention for playoff ranking, this is a "Must" game; Our Panther fans should be cautioned and warned that, although Colin MacAdam is one of our favourite athletes and a UPEI graduate, gcne astray to Dalhousie, . . . . .for the duration of this game he should be considered an enemy....sorry We might add that we listened to the St. F.X.- Acadia game played in Wolfville and carried on CJFX.
