Back Row-Al Petranick, Joe Pribil, Bill Silvanic, Assistant Coach Brittain, Mike Bednar, Larry Tokarchik, Bob Howell. Once again I. C. had a successful season on the baseball diamond, winning 10 games while losing 3 and finishing second in the Southern Tier Conference. Led by Captain Lenny Raychel, the Wildcats fielded a well-balanced team featuring timely hitting by Howell, Raychel, Silvanic, Bednar and Pribil, and an excellent keystone combination of Reynolds and Spalik. Once again, Larry Tokarchik confounded the rest of the league with his brilliant pitching, and during the summer he signed a professional contract with the New York Giants. George Brittain's succession to George Miner, as head baseball coach this year, has been most successful. RECORD J. C. .... . . 5 Central .... . . 7 J. C. .... .... 1 1 Owego .... . . 4 J.
