mflmodn and profoundly wise sage who Said, and

we quote loosely, "One cannot fully appreciate

the joy of victory unless he has suffered the anguish

of defeat." We Panther fans may feel we have fulfilled the requirenents to the ‘nth degree and believe it our due that they 1978-79 athletic . year will bring the rapture of cmplete triunph.

In basketball on the 24th we lost out to St. F.X. 77-66 after leading throughout mm of the gate. After“ Keith Streiter fouled out, with only second half and with Lloyd Pulleh followinq him later (11 in the period, we just did not have the oatph to matd'l the X 4 bench strength, although srbstitutes Butch Postma and Chris Smith did do very well. Dave Arsenault led our scorers with 22. ' 01 Saturday we once again were in fine gane all the way and trailed bybut a point with 5 seomds to ’ go. An intentional foul ’ on X's Gil Green set up a l & l sitiaticnand nade his tries on free throws , crucial. Unfortunately for us, he came through with a pair and we closed out the home season with 'a 71-68 loss in a well-played and exciting gene. - Flat-bush Vince Murray with 20 and Dennis High with 18 were our high scorers. , After 7 Dal lost its final game these up teams were tied in the standin but we

had outscored them'in the seascn's four ganes‘whidt were split, so we made it

‘ into the playoffs. In

the first game we were eliminated by league— winning Acadia 83—60 in a matd'l in which we were never in real contention. Dave Arsenault was high for our side with 27. We closed out the season in the consolation round with a loss in‘ a real squeeker when S.M.U. topped us 79-77.. “.we did score the tyinqbasket, but the buzzer had sounded a secaid too soon 'for our boys. We think congratu— lations are in order for George Birger and his team. George started LATE and was given little dance for success and we think great credit is due to the whole team for making the post-seasm playoffs. mgrettably, for next season we'll lose Anericans Dave Arsenault and» Dennis High, Kinkora's pride, Butch Posufia, and local all-round athlete Colin MacAdam. 'Good luck to you and thanks for many entertaining moments.

In hod<ey, by finishing third, we drew St. F.X. as

'Jhe .13

an opponent and lost out

in two straight.. .we just did not have enough defensemen. As we have had to do all seasm, we played me gartes with 3 rearguards and 40 minutes a gate is just too mllCh to expect.

In the first gaIIe, X led 3-1 after the first period, wetieditup3—3midvayin the secmd but succunbed to X pressure and dropped it 8-4. Scoring for the Panthers were Danny Kinnear, Shane Turner, Wayne Squarebriggs and Ken Burton. We were outshot 40—37. In the second gate the story was much the sane albeit the score was a little

' closer. ‘Wetookthelead

3-2 at the end of the first, we had it all tied

up 5—5 at the end of the second but the overworked legs again were not able to cope and we bowed out 7-5, although out'ahooting the opposition 36-30. Our scorers were Louis Iortie with three, while Paul Martin and Kenny Burtcn had Singles. '1!) show how good this team really was we can point vwith pride to the fact that, during the season's play, they outscored every team in the league, finished a

. strong third by virtue of

a series of late schedule wins and placed two men,

David Cameron and Wilfred Arsenault on the first all-star team and one, Iouis Loftie, on the second! While this ends the seasm, we will advise you that it is not the tine to take out enbalming fluid for Panther hopes and we will‘go out on a linb and predict’ that we'll not only make the playoffs next year...we'll have them in the Forum and get into the Nationals!

Most of this report is

WW mt WOW"

being written from John Neville's scrapbook as

we joined a group from the English Department and flew off to New York for a week! In only 7 days we travelled frcm Times Square to Staten Island, to Brooklyn, to the Bronx and to Queen's. We saw 4 plays, 3 operas, and the show at Radio City Music Hall. We saw the Knickerbockers (121) beat Phoenix (110) and the Rangers (3) trim Detroit (2) . We shopped Macy's, Ginbels and Fifth Avenue. We take pleasure in re— porting that while the professional contestants are amazingly skillful, we do not think that their ganes are as exciting as those which we see the Panthers play. We were amazed that the most enthusiastic fans we heard were those in the Opera House! (They actually . shout "BRAVO! !! BRAVO!!!" and even the villain gets After U.P.E.I. registrants left. we are certain that one ' well known New York Hotel will never again play host to such a high class

Ch behalf of those of us who so enjoyed the trip, we'd like to extend a very warm thanks to Dr. Rebecca Smith, who organized the foray into the big city. She had

through in fine style.

Class tells. However, like the little boy who liked to hit himself on the head with a hammer. .. because it felt so good when he stopped.. .although we enjoyed our stay in Manhattan, it was good to get back to good old . P.E.I.... ven if the weatherman did try to dampen our joy.
