McIntosh, Sweeney Make First All-Ivy Soccer Club

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Right wing Dick McIntosh and left inside Tadhg Sweeney have been named to first-team berths on the All-Ivy soccer squad selected by the League's coaches.

Harvard, Dartmouth, and Princeton all placed two men on the coaches' first eleven, as each of the Ivies contributed at least one player.

In addition, right fullback Tim Morgan, left halfback bill King, and center forward Seamus Malin were second team selections. The Crimson, with three representatives, dominated the second team. Dartmouth, Princeton and Yale each won two spots.

Other members of the first team were Denny Master of Brown, goalie; John Stobo of Dartmouth, right fullback; Julie Cooper of Cornell, left fullback; Steve Venslage of Princeton, right halfback; Charley Kalme of Penn, center halfback; Charley Buehler of Columbia, left halfback; John Pearce of Yale, right inside; Lew van Amerongen of Princeton, center forward; and Steve Chase of Dartmouth, left wing.

Besides the Harvard players, the second eleven was composed of Mickey Michel of Princeton, goalie; Pete Pochna of Yale, left fullback; Art Trotman of Yale, right halfback; Jim Zug of Princeton, center halfback; Connie Strauli of Dartmouth, right wing: Dave McKinley of Pennsylvania, right inside; Larry Holden of Dartmouth, left inside; and Elias Lwowski of Cornell, left wing.

McIntosh opened the season at inside, but the team's weakness at wing forced him to switch. After a few rocky starts, he came into his own and led the Crimson offense. He played the finest game of his career in the varsity's 1-0 loss to Princeton, putting on several solo drives downfield and taking and dribbling beautifully.

Although Sweeney abandoned his goalie-trampling tactics for the most part this year, he was effective enough to move up from last year's second-team all-Ivy position. Sweeney was a rugged, hard-driving lineman, and scored several key goals.

A large, speedy operative, Morgan experienced some bad moments against Columbia and Dartmouth. In those two games, the varsity gave up a total of eight goals. But by the end of the season, he was the invincible defender of old, and his hard charges and booming kicks were instrumental in the victories over Brown and Yale.

King was an unsung hero all year at halfback. He was a scrappy, tough defensive player and became increasingly dangerous on the attack as the season progressed.

With five tallies, Malin ranked high in Ivy scoring, and produced perhaps the outstanding individual effort of the season--a four-goal splurge against Columbia.

Princeton won the Ivy soccer title with a 6-1 mark, followed by Yale at 4-1-2 and Harvard at 4-2-1.
