OTHER FALL SPORTS

Both soccer and cross country should show progress in 1971 over their 1970 performances.

Second-year coach George Beim has a blend of seniors, juniors, and sophomores filling the soccer lineup. His objective is to increase the pace of play, utilizing "one-touch" passing more effectively.

This means more passes, less dribbling. "Against the Alumni (the varsity won the first Tom Dent Memorial game with the grads, 2-1) we had a couple of seven-pass sequences that led to good shots," said Beim.

"That's a lot for any team and it's what we're looking for."

Rich Gifford, the captain and full- back from Schenectady, N. Y., is the pillar on defense. Jim Neville, Mike Meehan, and Wayne Pirmann add experience, and Neville may become Dartmouth's best shooter.

Bob Jordan, John Grossman, and Chuck Doll are stable juniors and four sophomores—Jeff Badmington, Mike Brayton, Kirt Pruyn, and goalie Bob Fletcher—have shown strong preseason ability.

It should be enough to improve on last year's 3-6-2 record.

In cross country, Captain Eric Potter from Clinton, N. Y.„ and Tom Shiland, a junior from Cambridge, N. Y., provide the nucleus of Ken Weinbel's squad that, at this juncture, is training at the College Grant in the White Mountains and should be able to challenge a 6-2 record and seventhplace finish in the 1970 Heptagonals.

The Indians also will be defending New England intercollegiate champs.

Defensive Line Coach Dub Fesperman looks over three of his hefty tackles, JimRyan '73 (95) from West Islip, N. Y.; Tom Tarazevits '73 (91) from Southampton,N. Y.; and Josh Holloway '73 (93) from Chesapeake, Va.
