SOCCER

Coach Tom Dent's booters pulled one out of the fire against Harvard by coming in on the winning side of a 3-0 contest, a game which they had entered as underdogs. The first Dartmouth goal came in the initial period, when Bill Leshure booted one in from 25 feet out. The other two goals were scored in the third period by Captain Norm Clark and Bob Hop- kins. Goalie Dave Saxton, assisted by his colleagues, spent the rest of the afternoon staving off the Harvard attacks.

The next week, while the football team was beating the Yales in the Bowl, the Dartmouth soccer team was the host to the Yale soccer team in Hanover. Again the underdog won, with the slight complication that it was Yale who was the underdog this time. Much to the surprise and consternation of the Green cohorts, the Blues eked out a 2-0 win over their favored rivals. There is nothing to report on the Dartmouth scoring, because there wasn't any scoring.

Against Brown the next week the Green scoring punch again failed to materialize, and Coach Dent's men went down to a 3-0 defeat. Captain Norm Clark carried on brilliantly for Dartmouth on the attack, but nothing came of it in the scoring column. The Brown goalie frustrated repeated threats by the Green, with the result that they experienced their second straight shutout.

An exotic international atmosphere characterized the next contest, when the University of Havana team invaded the Hanover plain and went down to defeat before the inspired play of Captain Norm Clark and his associates by the score of 2-0. The goals were scored by Al Estrada and Norm Clark and the Dartmouth goalie, Dave Saxton, managed to hold the colorful Latin-American booters scoreless. This was the first defeat inflicted upon the Havana team on the current transcontinental tour. The long bus rides between games were enlivened, reported the visitors, by the players happily tootling upon tin flutes and dancing the rhumba.

On the same afternoon that the Dartmouth and Cornell gridmen clashed in Hanover, the Green and Red soccer teams had a preliminary tussle of their own. The contest ended in a 2-2 tie, with Cornell scoring twice in the first half and Dartmouth rallying to net two goals in the second half. Capt. Norm Clark sank a penalty shot for the Green and Bob Hopkins knotted the count with an unassisted goal in the last quarter. Two overtimes failed to break the deadlock, so all hands called it quits and went to watch the football game.
