All we can do is merely predict what the team may accomplish this year. This season. the squad should have some outstanding ball players. lt will have such past performers as Mac Wriglat who should hold down the backstop position, 'iGaga Andrews and Frenchy Filucci, two very capable in-fielders. ln the out-fields will be Tom Toner. who will also be ready to re- lieve behind the plate. Freshman Mike Keenan should also show some hustle on the mound. Other seniors who are trying out for positions are as follows: Joe Sanna, Roy McKenzie, Bernie Masterson, Ed Nawrocki, Manny l.oureiro. Eddie Babiec. and Paul Chabot. Two capable senior managers will be Jim McCann and Joe lVlcVey who will be assisted by 'iRollo Whitney and 'iBunny Martelle.
