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.

With a fair number of veterans, and some help due to arrive from the ranks of the under- classmen, the varsity baseball team started the 1951 season. Hopes were high during the pre-season practise that the team would improve on the 6-6 record compiled by the '50 squad. In the advance speculation it appeared that Coach Doc lacobs would have to bank heav- ily on his veterans such as Ed Marlcey, Tom Sul- livan, Dick Fitzgerald, Ioe Palermo and Iack Smith, the seniors on the team. In addition, lack Cronin, RBI leader in '50, and Dixie Walker, Were expected to add punch to the line up. Others figuring prominently in the pre-season dope were lim Garvey, Bill Gosselin, lack Whelan and Iim Devaney. But most prominent of all in the prognosticat- ing was another figure-the Weatherman. To a large extent, the success of the Knights was due to depend on the Vermont Spring which had proved itself consistently uncooperative over the past four years.
