et Experienced lettermen xf Long before the snow has melted from the Shamrock infield, the baseball team begins prac- ticing. Weeks before official practice starts, the pitchers and catchers spend their afternoons in the gym working their arms into shape and per- fecting their pitches for the coming season. This year the Shamrock Nine has a new coach, Mr. Thomas Maccarone, who will lead the team in defense of their B.C.L. Crown of 1967. If they play as they have in the past, the seniors, Captain Ty Brennan, John Mandeville, Paul Sullivan, and John Shea, will lead the team to another great season, as they end their athlet- ic careers at Feehan.
