24 THE GATHERER BASEBALL The baseball season of 1951 was only a fair one for Deer Isle High School, looking at the over-all record of games won and lost. However, it was really the most successful baseball season Deer Isle has seen in years, because they won the southern division championship. In the league with Deer Isle were Brooklin and Penobscot. We defeated Brooklin easily by scores of 3-1 and 5-0, but we had to settle for a split with Penobscot. The play-off, with Penobscot, was at Blue Hill. Deer Isle came out on top by a nar- row margin of 1-0. The Penobscot pitcher only allowed one hit, which, incidentally didn't figure in the scoring. The play-off with Blue Hill for the county cup was held at Deer Isle. We weren't so fortunate this time, losing 8-1. We played two non-league games with Blue Hill. The first game at Blue Hill was well-played except for a couple of errors which let in the winning runs for Blue Hill. Blue Hill won both games, 7-4 and 22-8. Our line-up was as follows: Catcher, Vaughn Joyce, Pitchers, Jerauld Hutchin- son and George Haskell, first base, Pearl Eaton, second base, Robert Haskell, short- stop, Norwood Greenlaw, third base, Ray- mond Haskellg outfielders, James Brewster, Fred Brewster, Burt Weed, Randall Haskell, and George Haskell. We were very successful against fall com- petition, winning three out of four games. We won two from Stonington by scores of 4-1 and 6-4. We split with Sullivan win- ning 4-2 and losing 7-1.

He took the job vacated by Eldridge Elkhorn when the lat- ter was inducted into the army. Again this year we lost heavily on regular players. Willie Weed was lost by gradua- tion, and Philip Hall and George Haskell left school. On the other hand, we gained, not so much in experience but in potential ability. James, Fred, and Jerry Brewster from Hawaii joined us late last winter. They certainly added a lot of strength to both the basketball and baseball teams. This year we were in a league with Sulli- van, Stonington, and Winter Harbor. We in non- lost all of our league games, but league games with schools our size we won seven and lost one. We had an over-all record of seven won and seven lost. We began the season very well by winning the first two games with Penobscot and Brooksville by scores of 27-26 and 47-44 re- spectively. In the next two games, however, we ran out of gas, dividing with Brooklin and Cas- tine. We lost to Castine 36-26 and defeat- ed Brooklin 43-24. High scorers in the Brooklin game were, for Brooklin, Carter with 17 points and for Deer Isle, Jerry Hut- chinson with 25 points and Freddie Brew- ster with 10 points. The next two games were hard fought for by Deer Isle, but to no avail. We lost to a good Sullivan squad 50-33, mainly because two of our starting five fouled out in the last quarter. We lost to Winter Harbor 61- 52 in a close battle. High scorers were Hutchinson for Deer Isle with 28 points and Reifl' for Winter Harbor with 31 points. The next game was easily taken 36-18 over Brooksville, but the following game at Stonington found Deer Isle on the short end of a 45-33 score at the sound of the final buzzeig The second game with Penobscot was as

26 THE GATHERER close as the first one. Deer Isle came out on top 48-46. High scorers for that game were, for Penobscot, Conrad Wight with 14 points and Roger Flannery with 13 points. For Deer Isle, scoring 22 and 9 points re- spectively, high scorers were Jerry Hutchin- son and Fred Brewster. Possibly the worst played game of the season for Deer Isle was at Sullivan where we went down to defeat by a score of 45-11. The main reason for this score was the low ceiling, which was no higher than the top of the backboard. The next two games proved to be very exciting with Deer Isle dividing two over- times with Brooklin and Winter Harbor. Deer Isle won at Brooklin by a score of 33- 32. Hutchinson dunked a two-pointer in the last minute which sewed it up. The next home game proved just as exciting with Deer Isle losing to Winter Harbor 29-28. The next two games with Stonington and Castine were just as exciting as the last two. Deer Isle came from behind in the last quar- ter to upset Castine 35-33. High scorers for Deer Isle were Fred Brewster and Vaughn Joyce with 10 points each. The game with Stonington was quite as exciting as Deer Isle kept within three and four points of Stonington for most of the game. Stonington played hard in the last quarter to win finally by a score of 51-35. Freddy Brewster hit the net that night for 15 points. Deer Isle again played Castine in it's first tournament game and took a not too diffi- cult victory by 39-30. In our second tournament game, which was with the undefeated Sullivan Tigers, we were expected to be swamped. We sur- prised everyone by being out front 6-4 at the end of the first quarter. We led Sulli- van 12-4 about the middle of the second quarter but Sullivan's height began to pay off, and at half time they led us 16-14. We were never more than eight points behind the Tigers, but we didn't have enough to forge ahead again. The gun sounded with Sullivan ahead 35-27. With three regulars and two substitutes from the Sophomore class, each with one year's experience on the varsity squad, plus one senior, Deer Isle can expect a winning club next year and the following few years.
