In hookey, our boys played well in both games. 01 Saturday night we think the Panthers outplayed the Dalhousie Tigers as they , outshot them 36—27 but managed to- drop this very iuportant contest by a 5-3 score. Ralph Josey and Val Mitd'lell catapulted usoff ' to an early. 2+0 lead but .‘ from then on sensational - goalkeeping by Tiger Goalie Bickerton foiled us with the exoeptim of Mike Sellick's counter in the third, made it close, but was not enough. 'A ' ' usual Panther rooter,’ Dr. Doug MacDonald, had great cause for satisfaction as his son, Shaun, was, we thought, the outstanding performer for the visitors. On Sunday the Panthers Hooked up with St. F.X. in a really exciting game ' which ranked with our greet in several years. woe again we outshot our :,::;;;:osition but, in this trees, we managed to ‘eke. ‘ 'a 3-3 tie by virtue of in Wilfred MacDonald‘s

We get an appreciation of how strong this league is if we watd'l the college ganes on the C.B.C.~ Saturday afternoons. Carpariscn makes you really appreciate the class of our league. We also note that three Atlantic

teams are rated in the first ten...Acadia (2) , St. F.X. (6) and Saint Mary's (8) . 'Jhis weekend, in our gym, we play two with Saint

Mary's...and what a double -

shores and brought their

record to 0—7. We must realize they are largely a freshman team and we synpathize with their plight. We might point out, however, that time has a way of remedying such situations and that, if they keep on trying and stick together, in only three years time they'll be a Senior team with lots of experience and then...well, let the rest of the league watch out!

We like to end on a positive note so we'll congratulate Bill Jenkins for a very good curling game against Canada’ best , on national T.V; and also to Ke Crockett for her usual
