Romping through the dark red ranks of Cornell to a 4-0 victory, the Green soccer team concluded a season which was more successful than the column of victories stacked up against the column of defeats would indicate. Led by Andre Stollmeyer '32, the fleet-footed Trinidad fullback, a team for the most part inexperienced capped a season of steady development with an exhibition of firstrate soccer in the victory over Cornell.

Having previously lost games to Springfield and M. I. T., Coach Tommy Dent's eleven dropped its third contest to Yale, 3-0, with the score giving no indication of the tightness of the struggle. Against Princeton the following week another defeat, 3-1, was written down in a field of good rich Nassau mud, the Dartmouth team suffering in the heavy going from its comparative lightness.

It was in the Harvard game November 6 that Captain Stollmeyer, who had been the mainstay of a strong forward line, was moved to left halfback to bolster the defense, and it was in this game that he brought the Green from behind to tie the Crimson with a boot which found its way neatly into the net from a distance of nearly forty yards.

Finally against Cornell, clicking as it had not clicked all season, the Green eleven found itself and rushed to the 4-0 victory.

The lettermen for the season were: Captain Stollmeyer, Allabough, Beasley, Bennett, Brabbee, Curtis, Gregory, Hitchcock, Holm, MacNicol, Richardson, Robinson, Schneider and Sheldon.
