Coach James MacDonald spent another day with his soccer men yesterday trying to raise the morale of the squad from the depths of the defeat by Amherst last Saturday to a level high enough to match a potent Green eleven at Hanover this weekend.

Saturday's contest with Dartmouth may prove to be the crucial encounter in a long season. Fifth and central game of the year for the booters, it may start them on another victory streak for their last four games like that which kept their first four off the losing side, or on the other hand may add one more weight to the load of the Amherst loss.
