Mm!! Although hampered in pre-season practice by rainy and frigid weather, Mr. Burns' aggressive nine came through admirably in their initial encounters. The Coach has pinned his hopes on the pitching staff composed of Paul Alpucci, Ed Cannon, Norman Kreiss, Bill McKeon, Ioe Moccia and Tom Orlando. As the season wore on, this group, sparked by Orlando and McKeon, steadied itself and proved its mettle. Featured in the further pastures are Tom O'Corman, jim Sheehy and Pranas Kizis. Alternating behind the plate are Pete Troy and Jim Dowling, with Sheehy held in reserve. Infield duties are divided among high-jumping Neil Abitabilo, popu- lar Art Torres on second, and Mike Norton, varsity slugger, on third. Not to be over- looked are jim Heydenreich and Vin O,Hara, both tricky ball-handlers. Not discouraged by their early starts against City Champions All Hallows, and St. Annis, the varsity has racked up a series of consecutive wins. With a promising Iunior Varsity, expertly coached by Mr. Liggio, under the wraps, hopes are bright QM for an even better ball club in the future. il W f . V Z A 5 fl + ,I .
