Boston U. Poses Threat To Crimson Soccermen

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Crimson soccer team, fresh from an impressive 3-0 victory over Tufts, will battle Boston University on the Business School Field today at 11 a.m.

B.U. is somewhat of an enigma, since today's game is their first of the young season. But word has filtered across the Charles that the Terriers do have a handful of outstanding players, led by left halfback Peter Wilder.

Harvard has won all four meetings between the two schools since the series began in 1953.

Coach Bruce Munro will probably start the same eleven, which successfully throttled the Jumbos Wednesday. The front line will probably include Keith Chiappa at center forward, Akinlabi Adewole and Fred Akuffo on the right side, and Hugh Polk and Sam Thompson as port-siders.

Bill Kerstetter, Andy Kydes, Bobby Knapp and Captain Lawrie Coburn will see action at halfback. Wally Winslow and Alex Patton will man the halfback slots, and Nat Bowditch will tend the goal.

Two sophomores who will undoubtedly see a great deal of action are Charlie Njoku (cousin of Harvard soccer great Chris Ohiri), and sophomore Jim Saltonstall, a fiery competitor who scored a goal against Tufts.
