Soccer

Tom Dent's Dartmouth soccer team has won just about everything in sight this fall, including the New England and unofficial Ivy League titles. The Indians won all eight of their matches, seven by margins of two goals or better and the last four by shutouts, and the winning streak now stretches to fourteen in a row over a twoyear period. The Dentmen faced just about every type of team - the hustlers who use many substitutions to try to run an opponent into the ground, the rough teams which play the man and forget the ball if necessary, and just plain soccer teams.

Dartmouth had a fair share of individual stars. Captain Dave Conlan played all the games all the way at center half, leading the offense when the occasion arose, or dropping back to become a third fullback when the opposition pressed the attack. And speaking of time played, Conlan has gone all the way in his last ten games, missing only thirty minutes in his last two years of varsity soccer. Fullback Dick Roberts also saw almost 100% duty. He stood out on defense and came up with the necessary foot, head or whatever was needed to stop the oncoming rush. Goalie Clem Malin played the whole of two of the last four games, all shutouts, and turned in a fine season in the nets. Scoring honors were equally divided between sophomore Butch Waid and junior Egil Stigum. Each tallied thirteen times, with Stigum leading Waid 11-10 in goals against League teams. Carl Hirsch, an All-New England wing last year, tallied five times, and with Steve Winslow turned in an outstanding flank job all year. Both are juniors.

Following the first four wins, the Green met Harvard in Hanover the day before the footballers met at Cambridge. Stigum scored on a break at 1:25 of the initial period and Waid added one at the 21-minute mark to all but sew up the game. After a Harvard goal, Stigum added one in the last period to give the Indians a 3-1 win.

A week later Dartmouth topped Rensselaer Poly 6-0 at home in a game rated as Dartmouth's best of the season. In this contest Waid contributed his second "hat trick" of the season, having scored three against Massachusetts in the opener, while Stigum, Hirsch, and sophomore Cal Perry got the other goals.

Before a Houseparties crowd, Dartmouth rolled up its highest score of the season, topping a rough Brown team 8-0. At no time was the game in doubt; the Green goalies Malin and Fred Chang, each playing a half, made only six easy stops all afternoon. Waid and Stigum each tallied twice with Perry, Winslow Hirsch and Bobby Googins getting the other four.

In the windup. at Cornell, the Big Red played probably its best game of the year to hold the Green to a 1-0 win. Stigum broke away for the only score of the day midway through the fourth period to ice the shutout.

It is interesting to note that Coach Dent loses only four seniors from this year's team: Conlan, Roberts, halfback Dick Wilson and inside Mike Travers. Winslow and Hirsch return to the wings, while Stigum, Waid, Perry, Googins, and Stigum's brother Bernt give the Green plenty of middle linemen. Add halfbacks Wally Pugh, Rollie Pollard, and Bobby Holland, fullbacks Bob Vostal and Bill Healy to Malin and you have a good backfield-defense alignment returning to give Dartmouth the material for winning teams for yet another year.
