FOUR TIES PLAYED
The soccer team played four tie games during the past season: Mass. State, 2-2; Navy, 0-0; Harvard, 1-1; and Yale, 1-1. Springfield College, usually the most powerful opponent on the schedule, was defeated 3-0, incidentally the largest score ever registered against them in soccer. M. I. T. was defeated in the final game 3-1. The only game lost was to Wesleyan, which finally ended up as winners of the New England Intercollegiate Soccer League. The score in this case was Wesleyan 4, Dartmouth 3, and the winning goal was scored from a penalty kick awarded in the last second of the game. Extra time was required to complete the kick. Here was a game" played in a quagmire of mud and water with control of the
ball impossible. The heavier team won since they could stand up and make progress faster than the lighter Dartmouth team. A dry field would have been in our favor. Both goalkeepers lost goals that would have caused no trouble had the ball and playing field been dry.
Considering the four tied games, and attempting to do so from an unbiased viewpoint, Dartmouth must be considered unfortunate in all but one, that being the Yale game at New Haven. Yale undoubtedly was the better team during most of the game, but when the issue was in doubt and an extra playing period was necessary, Dartmouth penned their opponents back in their own territory for the whole of the extra time. This was a game in which Red Munroe, Dartmouth goalie, covered himself with honor. Time and again Yale forwards blasted away at Red's charge but couldn't get the ball where they would have liked it to go. Red made several saves that bordered on the miraculous, and friend and foe alike were agreed that he gave one of the best exhibitions of goalkeeping ever seen at New Haven. I have seen an English Internationalist do no better. Here is what George Collins in the Boston Globe says of Red in selecting him for the All League team—"Most of the teams were blessed with good goalies, but the outstanding man for the long pull was Munroe, Dartmouth's goalie. A big chap, he seldom made a mistake, is full of pep and has good hands and eyes, and withal is a daring keeper. Red must be classified as perhaps the greatest goalkeeper Dartmouth has ever had. Others receiving recognition on this All-team were Gordon Smith, playing right wing, Jake Gidney, full-back and captain of the Dartmouth side, and Hal Eckhardt, center-forward. Gidney was a big, fast fellow who was second to none in his position. Bill David playing inside left was honorably mentioned.
