In the 1948-49 season Newfield swatted their way to the championship of the Southern Division of the Tri-County conference, with an eight-win, two-loss record. Jim Drader and Don Watson pitched four wins against one loss apiece, to lead the team in reg- ular season play. Lansing, Northern Division Champs, beat Newfield out of the League Championship 9-7. Al- though Newlield out-hit Lansing 12-6, a number of Newiield errors contributed to the Lansing win. H01

After losing their first four games to Van Eten. Yan Etten, Dryden, Wellsburg they beat Mc- Lean in a close 25-22 victory. Then they began to strike much stiffer Competition when they met Lan- sing, Vllellsburg, and Dryden. Their season, much like the Varsity's was highlighted by rnany close games which were very exciting. Among these were their 27-23 and 12 to ll- losses to McLean and Van Ellen and their 22-25 and l7-l6 wins over McLean and George Junior. By the end of the season many of the boys began to show the skill and Hght which will be neces- sary when they fill the places of those who will be lost to the Varsity by graduation. I 39
