In striking contrast to the depressing record of the football team to date. Coach Tommy Dent's soccer team is currently the proud possessor of a three-game winning streak and is, as yet, undefeated. The boys have put away Massachusetts University and Connecticut in preliminary games, and have just opened the Ivy League competition with a 3-1 win over Brown. The latter victory was engineered through the cooperation of two of the foreign contingent on the team, with Cesar Estrada scoring two goals and Clint Chin coming through with another. As their names suggest, these boys learned their soccer on playing fields far from the Hanover plain, as did two other of Coach Dent's operatives, Kisuk Cheung and Gus Hullman. Among the other leading performers on this year's aggregation are Captain Dave Sexton at goalie, Jack Hart at inside half, and Jack Hall at fullback. Jack Hart also doubles at baseball, and held down the third-base spot last year as a sophomore. Hall is a sophomore and Coach Dent rates him one of the best prospects in many years. In the Brown encounter, he was universally acclaimed as the outstanding man on the field. Other and veteran performers for the Green are Jay Gintel, Bill Fancher, Bill Leshure, and George Scully. We trust that, when we sign in the next time, we can repeat that the team remains in the undefeated class.

HENLEY REGATTA WINNERS: Although the Dartmouth crew failed to capture any honors in the famous Heniey Regatta at London this summer, Frank Heinemann '52 (left) and Egon Kramer '51 teamed up to win the paired-oar race for spare men. They won their first heat against Cambridge and a combined RAF-Jesus College pair, eliminated Yale in the semi-final, and then won over Magdalen College, Cambridge, in the finals. Their winning time bettered that of the paired-oar victors in the major race.
