Q. Drcx Cover, 0 St. Thomas had three strong contenders for the senior class title in the National Outdoor Speed Skating meet held at La Crosse, Wisconsin, this winter, but a title for any of these men failed to ma- terialize. Number one man among the Tommy skaters during the year was John Mahoney, one time Intermediate class champion, who was skating his first year in the senior division. Mahoney was among the top men in each meet during the year but never managed to hit the coveted first place. Dick Cover one of St. Pau1's leading skaters for the past several years is the number two man for the Tommies. In addition to these two men, Al Dim- mer, a Detroit star, contributed to the largest and strongest team of Tommy skaters ever to enter a national meet since Leo Freisinger and Vic Roncetti skated with St. Thomas a few years back. join: MAHONEY W' AL DIMMER
