The Wildcats met Plattsburg and outclassed them 59-6. A week later the Cats met Central under the lights and just eked out a 10-0 victory. The next to fall was Elmira South Side, who came to town with a strong team that was not quite strong enou h t g o take the Wildcats. J. C. took to the air and the C t ' T a s triumphed 20-7. The following Saturday saw J. C. reach its hi hest k g pea of the season as they pushed a U. E. eleven all over the field to win 14-O.

lPetranick, Meade, Fox and Pribil in North game. EMS THIUNIPH, The rest of the season was anti- climactic. In a non-league game a stubborn Rome team was beaten 14-7 and the following week the Maroon whipped hapless Ithaca 41-O. The following week proved to be the only blot on the Cats' record. The team traveled to Elmira and played the Light Blue at Free Academy in a pouring rain and a sea of mud with fhekgame ending in a scoreless dead- oc . The final game of the year proved to be a big scoring aftair as the Wildcats beat North 33-21. Bednar, Silvanic, Petranick, and Niemeyer made the Binghamton Press All- Conference team, while Matyas and Decker made the second string. Al Petranick was chosen as the out- standing player of the conference by W.N.B.F., while Coach Edward Butkus was selected as Coach of the Year. Photo by Frank Chetko bw .
