     For several seasons now, 
     
     at the first of every hoc- 
     
     key season we hear from 
     
     gloomy fans that, due to 
     
     the loss of players from 
     
     the previous players thro— 
     
     ugh graduation or defecti- 
     
     on, we will be lucky to 
     
     win a game in the forth- 
     
     coming M.I.H.Lo schedule. 
     
     This year was certainly no 
     
     exception. When players, 
     
     who were expected to form 
     
     our first line just weren't 
     
     available, for some reason 
     
     or other, the harbingers 
     
     of doom were certain that 
     
     this would be the BAD year 
     
     that they had been‘fore— 
     
     casting for several seasons. 
     
     THESE FANS FORGET THAT ON 
     
     P.E.Io WE BREED AND TRAIN 
     
     HOCKEY PLAYERS...not that 
     
     I mean to insinuate that 
     
     we do not welcome and are 
     
     not glad to have off-Isla— 
     
     nders...but, when our sta- 
     
     rs unexpectedly go to what 
     
     seem like greener pastures, 
     
     Vince just has to swallow 
     
     hard a couple of times and‘ 
     
     then start training a more\ 
     
     locals. 
     
    

    
     Those who made the trip 
     
     to SackVille and Moncton 
     
     last week-end saw plenty 
     
     of evidence that Mulligan 2” 
     
     has done it again. On Sat. 
     
     night our boys knocked off 
     
     Mt. A., a team that had 
     
     been strengthened over la— 
     
     st year's good team and on 
     
     Sun. we lost a real close 
     
     game that saw the Blue 
     
     Eagle winning and insur- 
     
     ance goals being scored 
     
     late in the third period. 
     
     We feel that most of our 
     
     players are young, with a 
     
     good seasoning of exper— 
     
     ienced veterans, and we 
     
     should have a strong team 
     
     for several seasons.(.. 
     
     particularly so when after 
     
     Christmas potential addit- 
     
     ions are considered. BUT 
     
     FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES BOYS 
     
     WILL YOU PLEASE CONTINUE 
     
     YOUR EDUCATION ON THIS 
     
     SIDE OF NORTHUMBERLAND 
     
     STRAIT!!!! It is getting 
     
     so that every time we see 
     
     a visiting team it seems 
     
     like Old Home Week —— it's 
     
     supposed to be in August!!

     Mount Allison combined 
     
     their marked height advan- 
     
     tage with accurate shooting 
     
    
   
   
    
     and, we must admit,domina- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ted this game. Without de- 
     
     tracting at all from their 
     
     undoubted ability, It seems

       MICKEY PLACE 
     
    
   
   
    
     ludicrous at times when 
     
     one of our player would 
     
     straighten up to look an 
     
     opponent in the eye...only 
     
     to discover he was peering 
     
     into his navel!!! We don't 
     
     think we should issue cry- 
     
     ing towels to spectators & 
     
     players yet though...our 
     
     team will be strengthened 
     
     by the addition of some of 
     
     the players who will now 
     
     be available. We might al— 
     
     so observe that, in a small 
     
     university like UPEI our 
     
     team, recruited largely 
     
     from local boys, must sta— 
     
     rt from scratch and rebui— 
     
     ld quite often...experien— 
     
     ce is a necessity and many 
     
     of our players are just 
     
     not used to the calibre of 
     
     play in the Intercollegiate 
     
     level. We'll be up there 
     
     after a bit. 35 
     
     we might also add that, 
     
    
   
   
    
     to our way of thinking, the ‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     WINNING, while more pleas; 
     
     ant than losing, still iS' 
     
     not EVERYTHING. We have no 
     
     respect for the type of 
     
     fan who cheers for and fo— 
     
     llows only the team that 
     
     can stay on top. We belie— 
     
     ve that if you are a Pant- 
     
     her fan...then you shoul 
     
     cheer for and encourage 
     
     Panther teams...not just 
     
     WINNING Panther teams... 
     
    
   
   
    
     it is a long road that 
     
     has no turns in it and we 
     
     are certain that the fan 
     
     who remains loyal to a 
     
     losing team gets more sat— 
     
     isfaction out of a sport 
     
    
   
   
    
     'when fortune finally comes 
     
    
   
   
    
     than the fan who can see 
     
     only victory as a reason 
     
     for loyalty.......if the 
     
     letters on the uniform say 
     
     UPEI then let's get behind 
     
     them and let them know th- 
     
     at, win, lose or draw they 
     
     have our support!!!! 
     
    

    
     We are adding this post— 
     
     script as we rush before 
     
     press-time. All around us 
     
     in the Student Office peo— 
     
     ple are working in prep- 
     
     aration for the benefit 
     
     hockey game. We are always 
     
     being surprised at how 
     
     good people are...Also on 
     
     behalf of the Student Un-

     all came in and bought th- 
     
     eir tickets for the game...
