Soccer was at that time com- paratively new to Brooklyn P.S.A.L. competition. There was just one division which contained all the Brooklyn teams. During the course of this season, the Tech squad compiled an ll-1-2 record, enabling them to finish in a three-way tie with Lafayette and Fort Hamilton. In the resulting play-off game for the borough championship, Tech was defeated by Lafayette 1-0, the tilt going six overtime periods before a decision was reached. The 1949 campaign saw a great increase in the num- ber of schools supporting soccer teams, necessitating the formation of two divisions. The Engineers, placed in Division 1, began to romp over all t11e other teams and finished with a 10-0-0 record. During the course of these games, the soccermen picked up 44 goals with not a single tally scored against them! In the resulting play-off game, pitting the winners of both divisions against each other, Tech once again encountered Lafayette. After a hard furious battle, Lafayette came out on the long end of a 2-0 score, to become the Brooklyn champions. sos Roomeusz GERRY DeLACE ED LEITGEB RALPH SWANTEK
