we‘havelong regretted the 
     
     demise of the Maritime In- 
     
     tercollegiate Debating So- 
     
     ciety and we sympathize 
     
     with recent efforts to re— 
     
     vitalize this activity 10- 
     
     cally. Not too long ago, 
     
     interest on campus in this 
     
     sphere rivalled that in 
     
     sports and large and inter- 
     
     ested audiences used to pa— 
     
     ck the gymnasium when vi—‘ 
     
     siting teams participated... 
     
     why sometimes people came 
     
     from points as distant as 
     
     Southport! 
     
     we were then quite encou- 
     
     raged on Wednesday night 
     
     when it became obvious that 
     
     a sister university, Mount 
     
     Allison, shares our nostal- 
     
     gia...they also have a long 
     
     tradition...and it appears 
     
     that several of their de— 
     
     bating buffs have two int- 
     
     erests as they also play on 
     
     the hockey team! It was, 
     
     however, quite evident, very 
     
     early in the game, that re— 
     
     feree Jake Kennedy has ab—. 
     
     solutely no enthusiasm for 
     
     this activity and he effec— 
     
     tively rebutted the sever- 
     
     al propositions they sub- 
     
     mitted with ease and final— 
     
     ity. His unfortunate attit— 
     
     _ude to Mount A. resulted in 
     
     - several of their players 
     
     being awarded the opportun- 
     
     ity of watdhing the game, 
     
     'for ten minute intervals, 
     
     from the penalty box. They 
     
     just seemed unable to acc- 
     
     ept the fact that Mr. Kenn-

     edy made his point early in 
     
     the first period and their 
     
     persistance in trying to 
     
     engage him in argument may 
     
     well have cost them the ga— 
     
     me and was no compliment 
     
    

    
     to their powers of observa— 
     
     tion...or‘prudence. 
     
    

    
     As far as the 4—3 game it- 
     
     self was concerned it was 
     
     not one of either team's 
     
     better efforts, although it 
     
     was wildly exciting with 
     
     Billy weatherbie scoring 
     
     the deciding goal in the 
     
     last minute of play. Like 
     
     the two wins over St. Thomas, 
     
     what we term the "Saturday 
     
     team" won the games but 
     
     their play bore little re- 
     
     semblance to the "Sunday" 
     
     team that, for example, 
     
     played Moncton...We must, 
     
     however, pay tribute to the 
     
     "will to win" spirit of th— 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     eir goalie Ted McComb who: 
     
     hit in the forehead in the_ 
     
     first period by a weatherble 
     
     shot that nearly decapitated 
     
     him, continued to play an 
     
     outstanding game, making 42 
     
     saves bearing a "Grade A 
     
     Large" sized egg on his fo- 
     
     rehead. we hated to cheer 
     
     against such courage. 
     
    

    
     In BASKETBALL we were at 
     
     the SMU game (a loose term) 
     
     and we would offer a mild 
     
     suggestion that future fea— 
     
     tures such as this should 
     
     be well publicized in ad- 
     
     vance and staged in the cen— 
     
     ter of the court rather th- 
     
     an in a corner. From our 
     
     poor vantage point all we 
     
     saw was Wade Gregory and a 
     
     SMU player juusting..being 
     
     put off the floor...an elbow. 
     
     a punch that missed... play-_ 
     
     ers jumping off the bench.. 
     
     an obdurate Jack Kane stan— 
     
     ding, with arms folded and 
     
     chin cutthrust warning off 
     
     any possible spectator 
     
     participation...a bevy of 
     
     football players (including 
     
     the bearded Gold Dust Twins) 
     
     jumping off the stage and 
     
     forming a wall around the 
     
     milling players. While we 
     
     did mot see a blow struck, 
     
     we, don't feel such actions 
     
     have any place on a basket— 
     
     ball floor...on the other 
     
     hand, when did you last see 
     
     a 60—19 game end in such an 
     
     exciting fashion? 
     
    

    
     Going outside our sports 
     
     observations, for once, we 
     
     were quite distressed and 
     
     wonder why in heaven's name 
     
     in last week's Cadre, the 
     
     names listed for competition 
     
     as this year's "Carnival 
     
     Princess" were preceeded 
     
     by Ms.??? Calling a sexy do— 
     
     ll Ms. is an anomoly we ca- 
     
     n't let pass without vigor-
