HOCKEY Handicapped all season by poor ice, the Purple Knights hockey team was forced to cancel tive games and settle for an abbreviated six game schedule. Under the careful guidance of Rev. Garrett B. Larkin the SMC pucksters wound up sporting a 3-3 record. Pacing the Knights for the third season in a row was the indomitable lim Feloney. The slender co- captain from Cambridge, Mass., tallied 16 of the club's 33 goals, and found time to chip in with four assists for a grand total of 20 points. The Rocket as lim was known at St. Mikes will go down on the records as one of the hockey immortals on the Hilltop, and with good reason. lim was particularly hot versus Norwich, sinking three and four goals respectively in the two Norwich- SMC encounters. ln the second of the two tilts, lim pulled the hat trick within ten minutes time, during the third period. Before the Cambridge lad went on his scoring spree the Knights were trailing 6-3. The final score found St. Mikes on top 8-7.

C. l. T. tourney in Albany. The victors Were the red hot LeMoyne College hoopsters who roared to a 95-67 decision over the Purple. The Knights didn't stand a chance as the boys from Syracuse hit on 10 of their first 14 shots to jump away to a 22-5 lead in the opening minutes ot the first half. By halt time the scoreboard read 51-26 in LeMoyne's favor, and the winners were able to coast home. After their slow start, the Mikemen battled LeMoyne on even terms but they could do little to overcome the overwhelming early lead. Big Dan Savage led the last breaking victors with 33 points besides playing a tremendous board and court game. Ted Burzenski hit tor 18, most of the points coming in the second half. Iim Farley and George Barry also stood out in a losing cause as did Dan McCarthy. For McCarthy, as Well as tor Burzenski and hustling Ed Markey, it was the last basketball game in the purple and gold of St. Michaels. Wm Stape gave it all he had.

The second man in the high scoring Knights machine was lack Conway. Conway, the other co-captain, and the center for the first line found the scoring range for five goals but his true value to the team was indicated by his 12 assists. Third member of the first line was petit Al Fecteau. Al hit for 13 points in the six tilts on six goals and seven assists. The three seniors between them accounted for 28 of the team's 33 goals this season. Also bidding farewell to hockey at St. Michael's was brawny Tom Duggan the likeable defenseman from West Roxbury, Mass. Duggan spent three years happily dumping opposing players to the ice and occasionally pulled a Pat Egan, as in the R. P. I. game when he ended a SKIING AND SPEED SKATING Two minor teams became even more minor in 50-51. After a better than average season a year ago the skiing team found itself pretty well stymied this winter. Although they had the nucleus of a good squad, the skiers were hampered by the lack of early snow and by the difficulty of main- taining themselves with no coach or direct ad- ministration support. On the other hand, the school's two man skat- ing team did well for itself at the Dartmouth Carnival and at the Vermont State Champion- ships. At Dartmouth, Bob Flynn took a second in the 220 andxin the Vermont meet took first in this event. Iohn Trotier took two thirds in the State championships, one in the 220 and one in the 440. l Iohn Gallant, Ioe Zacharer. cmd Louis Paini . . . three skiers looking for u team. 1531 solo dash by lighting the red light.
