Will incumbent Thomas H. D. Mahoney (now eighth with 1365) be able to pick up enough votes in the redistribution to make it onto the Council again?

His point, I think, is that football and soccer are the kind of things everyone engages in at one time or another. But whoever heard of a Sunday afternoon pick-up cross country meet? There is a professionalism, a pure individual drive, built into the sport...
