      of

      directed
      at
      the
      X-
     
     
      O
      Press
      last
      year
      was
      its
      lack
      of
      stories
      and
     
     
      photographs
      concerning
      UPEI
      athletics.
     
    

    
     
      This
      year
      we
      will
      try
      to
      correct
      that
      problem
      by
     
     
      having
      regular
      sports
      stories
      which
      will
      attempt
     
     
      to
      keep
      students
      informed
      on
      the

      big
      part
      of
      campus
     
     
      life
      and
      in
      the
      past
      this
      school
      has
      had
      some
      very
     
     
      competitive
      teams
      which
      are
      consistently
      among
     
     
      the
      best
      in
      Atlantic
      Canada.
      Last
      year,
      for
     
     
      example,
      our
      women’s
      basketball
      team
      finished
     
     
      first
      in
      Atlantic
      Canada
      and
      competed
      in
      the
     
     
      CIAU
      National
      Tournament
      with
      some
      of
      the
     
     
      best
      women’s
      basketball
      teams
      in
      the
      country.

      we
      have
      teams
      which
      compete
      against
      other
     
     
      universities
      throughout
      Atlantic
      Canada
      in
      sports

      hockey,
      soccer,
      field
      hockey
     
     
      and
