Rebound- ing from a barren ' 58 record, the Tanners swept six straight victories, and finished with an amazing 7-2 record, not having th“ state championship placed out of their reach until the final day of the season. The Tanner line, one of the most powerful in the state, was well stocked with seniors. Frank Caires centered foi the 7 mules, while Sid Goldfarb and Jack Marshall capably spelled by Bob Finnegan, manned the guard posts. John Georges and Danny Katsarakes represented the class of ’60 at tackle. Bill Burke and Mike Efenecy were the regular ends, with Jay Dalton and Jack Oleks to back them up. In the backfield, the Mr. Inside — Mr. Outside combina- tion of Pete Wahtera and Dave Hallinan could not be matched by any halfback conbination in the state. John Cronin was a versatile man, capably handling assignments at fullback and either of the halfback positions. Signal callers Leo EspindD and Charlie Mantsourani gave Coach 0 Donnell good depth and versatility at this position.
