Lady,Panthe"rsTa.ke No Chances With ConvincingWin

Inasmuch as were unable to get to Sackville on Fri- day to see the two games of basketball against Mount A. and could only listen to the first half of the men's game as related by CIMN, we will have to rely on the reports of other for the story of the games' action. The men's game'certainly_ gained the spotlight, not only because it was close, exciting, and well—played but because it centered ar— ound one of the controver— sal incidents we can recall in intercollegiate play.' Score at the end of the half was 38—36 for us, at the end of regulation time 75—75 and at the end of the second overtime we lost 89— 85. Art Laffin set a new UPEI scoring record with a blistering 39 points while TOm Kappos and Jamie Ballem chipped in with 12 each.

Actually there were two '

incidents that evoke the arguments...both within a ’ couple of seconds. 0n the play, with less than 10 seconds to go and with us leading 75—72 a‘foul was called on Jamie Ballem; the Mount A. player shot a bas— ket and a190 got the foulv shot for the three points necessary to tie the game. The two questions being: -asked are (1) did Jamie Ba— llem, backing into his own territory‘ commit a foul? and (2) did the player' (Broadley) continue toward _ the basket and soore after the whistle? We asked some Of those concerned and also a couple of spectators.

Gary Heald said "We were UP three points with eight seconds to go. Their Broad— ley moved toward the basket guarded by Jamie Ballem who

was backing away with his arms in the air....still outside, they may have made skin contact...I could not tell.:.but Jamie wasuback— ing up and outside when the referee blew his whistle indicating a foul. After the whistle blew Broadley took two or three steps past Jamie and then threw the ball, which went into the basket. I did not think it was a foul and, even if it was, the basket should not have counted."

The Panther player con— cerned, Jamie Ballem, siad "I was running with the ballcarrier, with my hands in the air. The referee blew the whistle and I turf ned to see why he'blew it. I did not think I had foul— ed Broadley. After the whi- stle blew I thought play stopped but Broadley took

, two or three steps past me

and when I heard the crowd cheer I knew he must have made a basket but I did not thinki it would count as play had certainly stopped.

'Eeven if I,had fouled him,

which I do not concede, the two pbints should not have. counted. In frustration I kicked a chair into the mi- ddle of the court and hurt my foot. The foul call on me was my fifth so I was not able to play in the o- vertime. I still think we beat them but it won't go into the record books that way."

Gordon MacAlpine, who was broadcasting the game, said "I was in a raised po— sition so I could see the

.play clearly. After a time—

out Mount A.'s Broadley took the ball downcourt with less than 10 seconds

‘ remaining. As he passeleae

touch but the referee blew a foul. The player bounced the ball a couple of times .and, it seemed, as an after— thought, threw the ball through the hoop. The ref— eree was at the time—keep» ‘er's desk and when the Mo— unt A. players asked if the basket was good he allowed it. It was not a foul and the basket should not have counted." Another fan who must have had a good time at the game asked "What game? What incident?" Having reported on this we must point out that the worst thing which could ha- ppen here would be for the fans to try to "take it out" on the Mount A. team. 'Let us hope that we root For the Panthers not Agai- nst the Hawks. It should be realized that these were judgement calls by the ref and that all Broadley did was to shoot the ball... which by no means is a rep— rehensible act and even the most rabid Panther rooter would not expect him to go over to the referee and say to the official "Please Sir, Mr. Heald is correct in his assertion."...Well hardly. All this controversy sets the stage for a couple of MUST games that we'll see here. Mount A. will be here on Tuesday, the night this paper should be circu— lated, in a special event that should rock the campus. It will be "Noisemaking Night" and any spectator who enters the gym with a device which {he juflgéSE5 consider to befa'noiae-ma— king instrument will be gi—

be hard to get thougthhe doors anything short of that will be acceptable. We hope that students will

show their support for the Panthers by making the noi-' siest night in UPEI history.

'We will also ask Joyce

Gallant, R.N., to be sure .to have plenty of aspirins on hand Wednesday morning

to ease the shattered ner— ves of those who have a phobia for excess sound.

‘ We might add that the - Panther play-off hopes are by no means dead. We must 'beat Mount A. by at least_ four points, we must beat X here on the 22nd, and we must beat UNB in Fredricton. The boys are quite confid- ent that this can be done... in fact when we asked Bronx Feighery by 4 he said "we

can beat them by 40"...that is the spirit.

We are happy to inform their fans that the Panth— ‘erettes beat the Hawkettes 51-31 mar— gin.....we tried to get more information on the game but our phone calls have been returned and the girls we called weren't at home. Their parents must have told them some dirty old man called them!

PhiHinony Scores Phive

The.hockeyPanthers jour- neyed to Summerside on Sat- urday night for an exhibi— tion game against the Int- ermediate Allstars. This gave their hometown fans a chance to see their gifts to Panther hockey...George Mattews, Doug MacLean, Way— ne Bernard,_and Lennie Kel— ly, as well as their neigh— bour Larry Arsenault. The compuer readings indicated a Panther victory 17—7 with Joe Phylipenny scoring 5, Larry Arsenault 4, Terry Devine and Doug MacLean 2, with singles going to Wil- fred MacDonald, Lennie Ke- lly, D'Arcy and Danny Mur- phy. Lennie Kelly, by the way got the Ponderosa award for January and is now tied for season with Daniel Les— sard.

The team travels to Sack ville (and are we ever dis— appointed with this sched# ule!) to play Mount A. in a

Q¥MUST" game. After that we

ififiave two more homes games; riMount A. on the 17th and

"Moncton on the 19th. We'll have to win these three if we are to make that coveted playoff spot. We're quite certain we can but a little

Everyone recognizes that CHTN stands for the name of our fair city. Can you imagine this step being extended and the city fat- hers decided. that the "C" should be dropped from Charlottetown's name?
