      Saturday,

      23rd-
      Today
     
     
      is
      the
      first
      day
      of
      fall.
      Mother
     
     
      nature
      cooperated
      by
      providing
     
     
      sunshine,
      wind,
      and
      cool
      tempera-
     
     
      tures
      as
      the
      UPEI
      First
      XV
      took
      the
     
     
      field
      against
      the
      Mount
      Allison
     
     
      First
      XV.
      The
      club
      had
      won
      a
      hard
     
     
      fought
      and
      costly
      victory
      against
     
     
      St.Thomas
      First
      XV
      one
      week
      ear-
     
     
      lier,
      in
      a
      game
      played
      in
      torrential
     
     
      rains.
      The
      13-0
      victory
      was
      costly
     
     
      due
      to
      suspensions
      and
      injuries.
      No
     
     
      one
      reaily
      knew
      what
      to
      expect
     
     
      save
      for
      another
      hard
      match,
      in
      a
     
     
      repeat
      of
      last
      year’s
      final.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Panthers
      set
      the
      tone
     
     
      early
      with
      their
      hard
      hitting
      and
     
     
      aggressive
      forward
      play,
      especially
     
     
      inrucks.
      The
      game
      started
      off
      with
     
     
      an
      early
      try
      five
      minutes
      in,
      when
     
     
      Jonathan
      Darrack
      benefitted
      from
     
     
      good
      ball
      movement,
      by
      the
      backs,
     
     
      to
      beat
      his
      man
      into
      the
      corner.
     
     
      What
      looked
      like
      the
      makings
      for
      a
     
     
      serious
      stomping
      took
      a
      weird
      turn
     
     
      for
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      half.
      The
      club
     
     
      was
      unable
      to
      penetrate
      the
     
     
      Mountie
      defense.
      The
      game
      flowed
     
     
      from
      end
      to
      end
      with
      several
      excit-
     
     
      ing
      open
      field
      runs.
      But
      at
      the
      half,
     
     
      the
      score
      remained
      5-0.
     
    

    
     
      Whatever
      got
      said
      at
      the
     
     
      half
      seemed
      to
      have
      worked.
      The
     
     
      club
      dominated
      possession
      of
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ball
      and
      put
      up
      35
      points
      to
      run
     
     
      away
      with
      a
      40-10
      victory.
      The
      for-
     
     
      wards
      did
      a
      better
      job
      of
      maintain-
     
     
      ing
      possession
      in
      loose
      play.
      It
     
     
      resulted
      in
      Darrick
      adding
      another
     
     
      try,
      Ian
      Richardson
      scoring
      off
      a
     
     
      penalty
      from
      20
      meters
      out
      with
      a
     
     
      few
      Mounties
      hanging
      on
      his
      back,
     
     
      Jason
      McQuaid
      showing
      off
      his
     
     
      blistering
      speed
      for
      another
      score,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      and
      the
      man
      of
      the
      match
      (in

      the
      sides
     
     
      points.
      Murphy
      was
      dangerous
      all
     
     
      afternoon
      finding
      holes,
      kicking,
     
     
      and
      going
      on
      long,
      galloping
      runs.
     
    

    
     
      After
      getting
      off
      to
      a
      late
     
     
      start,
      relative
      to
      other
      schools,
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      are
      2-0.
      The
      real
      test
      for

      well,
      they
