SOCCER

It’s far too early to judge the progress of Dartmouth’s soccer team under first- year coach George Beim.

“We’re anxious to prove ourselves,” said Charlie Silcox, the All-America halfback from Gladwyne, Pa., who is this year’s captain.

“George Beim emphasizes ball con- trol and defense, which is a style that appeals to us,” said Silcox. “We’ve worked hard and I think we have the ability to produce a winning season.”

The Indians have come close for two years, finishing 4-5-2 in 1968 and 5-6 in 1969. The team is being rebuilt in the defensive secondary but has the scoring capability in Silcox and forward Randy Quayle plus some good defensive play- ers in Rich Gifford, A 1 Goodloe, and Bill Tanis.

As with football, the hooters should be improved but the Ivy League also will be solid.

The 1970 coaching staff: (kneeling) Bob Blackman, head coach; Jack Crouthamel,defensive backs; Walt Anderson, linebackers; Gary Golden, defensive line; (stand-ing) John Nelson, offensive line; John Jackson, offensive backs and ends; JohnCurtis, head freshman coach; Carl Meyer, freshman line; and Jim Attaway, fresh-man assistant.
