. * By Mickey ’ ' Quite frankly,we don't ‘lmow how to start this “ tale ofwoe. can we writeja nice cheerful column (and we know that you who face . _ exams need a cheerful word or ftWolwhen the count on Panther ath-\ letic a’ctivities, since we last discussed than, is indeed a sorry 0-5 statistic. Not a win not a tie, FIVE losses. Only a week or two past we were discussing national rankings, now We start at the bottom and work up looking for the UPEI name. ‘Sic transit gloria felina as the old Latins might have commented outside the colisseum after the Christian vs. Lions ‘ games, .

' 'IWo wins would gladden our and bring us to a ‘ respectable 3—3 standing. The Basketball [Panthers made the sane u trip as the Pantherettes and met a similar fate. In Antigonish St. F..X. got away to a fast start . and we just never did get untracked and bowed out 86-66 with Chris Sumner leading the way. Next day at Dalhousie we played well but lost in the closing seconds of the game just as we _ t have for the last three years. If these games had been £e_n_ seconds shorter We would have In this midway mark, they took the lead early in the second but it was ‘84-84 with eteni- seconds to go when Chris Stmner, who led all the players with 34‘, sank a foul ‘- shot for a one point lead, only to have Dal ‘ garner the final two points just as the buzzer sounded. That makes us 0-2 in league play with " powerfulSaint Mary's ’ coming in on Saturday at 3.00 p.m. We welcome old friends Coach Gary Heald and former Panthers 'Ibm Kappos and Mark Vickers. We wish them well and hope they win all their games eXCept when facing the Panthers. In hockey we faced Mount Allison with whom we were tied for first place going into the action and, while , we trailed 1—0 after the first period, :things_ seemed secure when Mike Ready, Doug Currie, and .\\ j . _ ‘ I _ . t- r . .. i _‘ \ _ t , , \ John Butler scored in the first eight minutes of the second to make it 3-1. Alas for. us the pesky munties made it 3—2 before the period ended, tied it up ,3—3 in the third and made a cam from behind the net off Jamie Cudmore's pads to score the winner in overtime. Jamie, by the way was inserted into regular Avalino Gomez' goal position in something. of a surprise. move by Coach Jack Hynes and,we thought, played very, very well. Certainly no criticism could be made for any shots that got by him and he” made several “impossible” saves. We were surprised at major and game misconduct penalties handed out to Doug Currie and a Visiting ‘player in the third period as . we did not think any blows were exchanged. Perhaps it might be that Ref.

We were pleased by the size and enthusiasm of the spectators, many of whom travelled from Sackville to cheer on the garnet and gblt team. We wonder if it is possible to organize a bus trip to Sackville when we play them on Wed. January 13.
