Diamondmen compile 1 2 wins Good hitting and good pitching were the keys to a successful New Haven baseball season. The Bulldogs finished with a 12-4 record in over-all games and 7-2 in the Northeastern Indiana Conference. This was good for a second place tie with South Adams. Junior Jim Lahr led the pitching staff in regular- season play with four victories and no losses, while Bill Shumaker concluded with 1.27 earned run average. Bob Rutledge was the leading batter with .414 average followed by Orlando Gonzalez with .407 and Don Wharton with .380. The over-all team bat- ting average was a very good .328. Coach Don Huml ' s squad won their first game in the sectional against Woodlan but then were eliminat- ed in the semi-finals by the Heritage Patriots by the score of 6-2.

Linksmen finish season 7-8 New Haven ' s golf team had a respectable but un- spectacular season finishing with a 7-8 record. The Bulldogs, coached by Frank Clark, opened the year on a sour note, losing their first two meets to Bishop Luers and South. Led by senior Ritchie Clark who shot a 33 and a 34, the linksman won their next two matches against Bishop Dwenger and Concordia. The locals then lost five of their next seven matches to Snider twice and to North, Carroll and Elm- hurst once. They notched victories against Garrett and Woodlan in away meets. Defeating Bellmont and DeKalb, and losing to Elmhurst again and then finally beating South, the linksmen finished strong. New Haven finished eighth in a sectional field of 22. Ritchie Clark, Doug Lohse, Cary Lonis and Bob Himel- stein were the foursome that competed.
