     Much as We hate to 
     
     admit it Panther Hockey 
     
     Playoffs hopes went out 
     
     the window this past 
     
     weekend as we lost two 
     
     tough games. We ended 
     
     last week's remarks by 
     
     saying that Panther 
     
     Hockey is not for those 
     
     with weak hearts & we 
     
     can add to that/by ob-' 
     
     serving that if they 
     
     don't give you heart 
     
     failure they'll give 
     
    
   
   
    
     you heartbreak. 
     
     St. F.X.—7, U.P.E.I.—5 
     
    
   
   
    
     for a short time it was 
     
     unbelievable...Panther 
     
     Power was on the march 
     
     in the early moments of 
     
     this game as Wayne Bern— 
     
     ard opened the scoring 
     
     at the 0.59 mark on a 
     
     pass from Lennie Kelly 
     
    
   
   
    
     ... then Lorne Carmichael 
     
    
   
   
    
     from Gerry McCarron at 
     
     1.36 and Rav Dunn from 
     
     Looie Doherty & Carl 
     
     Trainor at 2.06 and 
     
     with only two minutes 
     
     gone we led 3-0 at this 
     
     point....we felt a bit 
     
     sorry for Fred Cubilier 
     
    
   
   
    
     in'X net a he lOokedg" 
     
    
   
   
    
         
     
    
   
   
    
     ....but the basketball Pantherettes Ibo 
     
    
   
   
    
     behind him three times 
     
     & had only one save. 
     
     Then the roof fell in 
     
     on the Panthers & only 
     
     six minutes later we 
     
     trailed 4—3 as Cubilier 
     
     shut the door & the X 
     
     forwards went to work. 
     
     In the second period we 
     
     outshot X by 15-9 but 
     
     they got the only goal. 
     
     The Panthers never give 
     
     up & McCarron scored at 
     
     the 6.00 minute mark & 
     
     Lorne Carmichael tied it 
     
     up at 10.14. The overtime 
     
     ‘followed the usual script 
     
     as we lostkourgfourth over— 
     
     time game.‘ Just as we 
     
     remarked to our neigh- 
     
     bour that we feared the 
     
     opening minute X—man 
     
     Bob Stephenson, with two 
     
     of his linemen, got in 
     
     alone on Art McGuigan & 
     
     gave hf: no chance as he 
     
     rapped in the winner at 
     
     0.56...the 7th X goal was 
     
     anticlimatic-& came at 
     
     4.41. we felt robbed 
     
     as we outshOOt X 51-35 
     
     but, as we have observed 
     
     before} the S.0.G.'s is

     k good for a playoff position. 
     
    
   
   
    
     as important a statistic 
     
     as the number of left 
     
     handed spectators in the 
     
     rink. They only count 
     
     the number of times the 
     
     puck goes into the net 
     
     when they make up the 
     
     Won/lost figures. Of 
     
     U.P.E.I. we liked the 
     
     play of Carmichael, Mc- 
     
     Carron & Bernard in that 
     
     order. S.M.U. 6—U.P.E.I. 
     
     -4. The boys really wanted 
     
     to win this one but, much 
     
     as we'd like to beat/them, 
     
     we must admit S.M.U. has 
     
     class. They also have 
     
     several Islanders who 
     
    
   
   
    
     7 contributed greatly to 
     
     .their win. They got a 
     
    
   
   
    
     Shorthanded goal from 
     
     D'Arcy Murphy & one from 
     
     Billy Doherty (who also 
     
     scored the insurance goal) 
     
     and Grady & Van Deist 
     
     played strong games. 
     
    

    
     Our scorers-were, Lennie 
     
     Kelly with two, Louie 
     
     Doherty, & Wayne Bernard. 
     
     Once again we out shot; 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘the opposition 47-42. 
     
    
   
   
    
     We liked Kelly, Machan &‘ 
     
     Bernard.

     ettes split two games this 
     
    
   
   
    
     past week making very good 
     
     showings. They lost a 
     
     squeekerto X 64-60 in a 
     
     game in which Janet Train~ 
     
     or & Rose King scored 16 
     
     points each. They then 
     
     overwhelmed Acadia 49-25 
     
     in a contest in which the 
     
     same two girls each racked 
     
     up 12 points. It would 
     
     appear that the girls will 
     
     probably make the playoffs 
     
     & we think they deserve 
     
     much credit. They are 
     
     all young, and next year 
     
     will be strong contenders.

     wild reports from this 
     
    
   
   
    
     .game in Sackville. It 
     
    
   
   
    
     would appear. from what 
     
     we are told that_5'6",‘ 
     
     150 lb. I'Mike Connolf-yw 
     
     our main ballcarrier, 
     
     was badgered into fist; 
     
     cuffs at the two minute 
     
     mark of the game & was, 
     
     along with a Mt. A player, 
     
     of similar size,.banished 
     
     from the court. The 
     
     trouble started during 
     
     the warm—up. Our boys 
     
     led at the half but ran 
     
     up a good lead. We still 
     
    
   
   
    
     ghave an excellent chance 
     
    
   
   
    
     of reaching the playoffs. 
     
     We are told about 100
