COACH TOMMY DENT invited back 22 soccer candidates this fall, and although prospects for a championship team are not bright, Dartmouth will benefit from the experience the juniors gained last fall when they lost a majority of their games by one goal. The defense of America has taken some of Tommy's best men, though, and the outlook is not as promising as it might have been.
Dick Deane, who operated at inside left last season and did much of the Indians' scoring, has signed up for naval training and will not return from Annapolis until too late to help out this season.
The goal tending will be capably taken care of by John (Red) Munroe, who played well as a sophomore last year. Captain Jake Gidney, brother of 1935 captain Dean Gidney, will play at left fullback, and Hal Eckhart, one of the high scorers of the League in 1939, is expected to gain all- League honors this fall.
Despite the unforeseen handicaps that face Coach Dent and his squad, the Greens rate as the team the other League members must beat to win top honors, and Coach Dent has therefore labeled his team the 1940 troublemakers.
