Early this fall Coach Whitey Burnham predicted that his sophomore dominated soccer team would become stronger as the season progressed. This was certainly the case as the Green booters took their last three games in a row. The victory streak started with a 2-1 decision over Yale; Columbia was added by a 3-1 count; and then in the final game Cornell was routed, 5-0.

The soccer team finished the season with a record of four wins and six losses. In the league it was 3-4, the same as in 1962. Other scores since our last report saw the Indians topping Amherst, 2-1, for their first victory of the season, but then losing to Princeton, 2-1, Harvard, 2-1, and Williams, 4-2.

As can be noted from the above scores the Green became stronger defensively. This was due in no small measure to junior Larry Geiger who tended the nets and to Captain John Carpenter at fullback who established a record of having played every minute of every game in the last three years. Carpenter and the other fullbacks, Bill Duval, Hank Amon, and Pete Barber, gave Geiger a great deal of support.

At halfback, the Indians were anchored by seniors Rusty Turmail and Pete Thomsen. Others who deserve recognition for the late season surge are Ron Knapp, Ivars Bebris, Tequabo Iasu from Ethiopia, and Andre Bosch from Switzerland. Another senior is Lee Chilcote, who had four goals for the season, including two penalty kicks.

The cross-country team closed out its season with an eighth-place finish in the Heptagonals. For the Green there was satisfaction in the fact that it finished ahead of Yale, a team which had previously defeated the Indians. Lee Daneker, as he did all season, led the Green runners, with a 17th place finish.

During the season the Green took one first in dual meet competition, 23-38 over Boston University, while losing three dual meets and taking a second in a triangular meet. Brown toppled the Indians, 15-39, and Harvard by almost the same score, 19-44.

Columbia's Archie Roberts found Scott Creelman (88) and company on him all day.
