Welcome back and we hope 
     
     gthat all of you enjoyed the 
     
     Christmas break and that 
     
     those of you that went So— 
     
     uth have enough money left 
     
     to enjoy at least one Pig 
     
     'N' Whistle. It is so long 
     
     since our last column that 
     
     anything we write may be— 
     
     long to History 321 - any; 
     
     how, let‘s recapitulate. 
     
     FOOTBALL - Final observat- 
     
     ions. We rejoice with,st. 
     
     Mary's on their winning 
     
     the National Championshipw 
     
     we feel it was not only a 
     
     great achievement for SMU 
     
     but was alSo a clear not— 
     
     ification to the restof 
     
     Canada/that the calibre of 
     
     Maritime football matches 
     
     that in any part of Canada. 
     
     with these congratulatory 
     
     .remarks and without detra- * 
     
     cting in any way from SMU 
     
     we'wonder how the Halifax 
     
     Herald columnist and the 
     
     big mouth Radio announcer 
     
     from Halifax, view what we 
     
     regard as this glorious 
     
     victory. They belly—ached 
     
     so mdch about one of our 
     
     wins, played in adverse 
     
     weather, we canft help wo— 
     
     nder if they can accept a 
     
     SMU win that came under 
     
     even worse conditions. 
     
     Final football note -—- 
     
     "Well, anyhow,,in league 
     
     play, we are the only team 
     
     that beat the only team 
     
     that beat the national 
     
     champions!" 
     
     HOCKEY — We'll still be up 
     
     there 9 we lost a couple 
     
     of games We‘could have‘won 
     
     with a little good fortune. 
     
     You saw how close the SMU 
     
     game was and the X game was 
     
     a heartbreaker. Played at 
     
     Xvwe fell behind 0—4, and 
     
     then we tied it up early 
     
     in the third period. It 
     
    
   
   
    
     ATLANTIC REGION NEWMAN» CON— 
     
     EEBENCE ,;__w 
     
     scheduled for UPEI campus 
     
     January 18—20, 1974. 
     
     Students from most of the 
     
     Atlantic universities have 
     
     helped in the planning and 
     
     will be participating. 
     
     ‘Theme is Christians and 
     
     their Enviornment — and- 
     
     ecology will most likely 
     
     not even‘be mentipnedl!» 
     
     Social Action projects to 
     
     change things for the bet- 
     
     ter, certainly will be. ‘ 
     
     .And, since this is the Ki— 
     
    
   
   
    
     ngdom we‘are talking about,' 
     
    
   
   
    
     there will be some input 
     
     on prayer and what can ha— 
     
    
   
   
    
     seemed like we had X on 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     the ropes when an injury 
     
     to a linesman delayed the 
     
     game ten minutes and our ' 
     
     boys lost theirkmomentum 
     
     and were beaten 5—4. If we 
     
     can be accused of rationa~ 
     
     lizing we should be credi— 
     
     ted with originality. Have 
     
     you ever heard, as an exc— 
     
     use for losing, "We would 
     
     have won only a linesmap 
     
     got hurt?" At Dal we play— 
     
     ed well and won 3—1. At a 
     
     tournament in Maine we 
     
     lost the first 2-5 and won 
     
    
   
   
    
     the second 5—0, American 
     
     rules!! 
     
    
   
   
    
     We, having now seen seve— 
     
     ral of the M.I.H.L. teams, 
     
     might observe that we, at 
     
     UPEI, may haVe four of the 
     
     best goalkeepers in the 
     
     league! we can, however, 
     
     play but one at a time!! 
     
     BASKEEEAL; - We need heig- 
     
     ht ~ our boys play well, 
     
     certainly deserve marks for 
     
     effort. We think they mig— 
     
    
   
   
    
     ppen there. 
     
    

    
     Input will come mostly 
     
     from students involved in 
     
     campus life across the en-

     ch reaches with the 6'8" 
     
     lads — also a little more 
     
     fan support will help for 
     
     we have attended more liv— 
     
     lier wakes — we hear we're 
     
     getting more help now and 
     
     one of these days we'll win 
     
     one!! We'd like to add th— 
     
     at we often hear of winning 
     
     players being credited wi— 
     
     th "GUTS". Our humble opi— 
     
     nion is that a team hope-U 
     
     lessly behind at the half, 
     
     that can come out on the 
     
     floor and play as though 
     
     it was in a tie game, is 
     
     the group that is really 
     
     exhibiting "guts". For 
     
     those disturbed by our Env' 
     
     glish, please delete guts 
     
     and insert "Intestinal
