SOCCER RECOGNIZED AS MINOR SPORT
March 1919

After numerous attempts to secure its introduction among the organized athletics of the college, soccer has finally been recognized by the Athletic Council as an official minor sport. Under the management of R. B. Welsh '19 a schedule is already being drawn up, and the necessary financial support will be afforded the team upon its organization. Practice will start under L. W. Aldrich '19, present captain, as soon as weather conditions permit.

Dartmouth has put an unofficial soccer team on the field for the past five years. The first eleven was organized in 1914 by W. Palmer '17, and since that time the sport has been maintained successfully without assistance from the college.
