Soccer

Under the knowing tutelage of the genial Tommy Dent, the -soccer team is having a very satisfactory season. To date, the team has won six contests, while losing only one (to Army) and that by the narrow- est of margins 2-1. The current aggregation is both skilled and aggressive and manages to come out on the long end of the score, no matter how heavy the going is underfoot or overhead. Space precludes any complete chronicle of all the contests won since our last communique, but we may outline a representative victory by way of indicating the manner in which the hooters go to work.

On the Friday of the Harvard weekend, the day before the football team pulled themselves up from the floor of the Stadium and knocked out the home forces, the Dartmouth soccer team won a neat but not gaudy victory over their crimsonshirted rivals by the score of 3-1. Harvard found out early in the contest that they would have trouble breaking through the strong defense of Dartmouth, and resorted to a defensive game of their own by packing their own (Harvard's) goal. These wily machinations, "however, were not enough and the Dartmouth boys got three boots into the enemy net.

The first of these scores came at the end of the first period, when sophomore Bob Drawbaugh let one go, following a corner kick from Art Judson. The second period was scoreless, but in the third period Art Judson came through with another pass, this one to Jim Pradilla, who toed the ball into pay territory. In the fourth and final period, Captain Jack Hart was moved up to an attacking position, in celebration of which he took a pass from Drawbaugh and put it in. The lone Harvard tally also came in the final period, when an errant boot bounced off somebody's head and into the Dartmouth net, past a surprised Sam O'Shea, the goalie. This consolation tally proved no strain to the Hanoverians, however, and they went on to win handily.
