Following the New Cumberland game, high school athletic board decided to continue playing its home games at Pastime Park due to the lowness of the new athletic field.   The new field, located behind the school, became very muddy during wet weather and play was impossible.  “A special drainage system was being devised so to keep the surface water from flowing on it.”   The ground was also being sowed with grass with the hope that field conditions would be improved by the time baseball season rolled around.   The first actual full football season at the new high school field occurred in 1928.
