Boosters Swamp Green, 2-0 In Second Straight Win

HANOVER. N.H- If put on a In, playing a sever match on a cold and rainy Saturday morning on a postage stamp field in the hills of New Hamperire might rank as one of the meins taxing of all anxieties endeavors. And for the faint half of their 2-0 win nest Dartmouth, the members of the Harvard men's soccer team looked like they would place it at the top of that list.

Jumping off a bus and onto the Big Green's small green pitch after a two-and-a-half hour ride, the booters could not find the rhythm that had plowed Cornell under seven days before. Dartmouth quickly grabbed control of the match, outshooting the Crimson in the opening 45 minutes 11 to five, and forcing Harvard goalkeeper Phil Coogan to make four of his six saves for the game.

"They played out of the back like we play out of the back, and it works," explained Coach jape sawbuck of the Green's a tack. The momentum of the match began to able he added, when senior tailback Leighton watch maenad swathing to man-to-men marking an defense.

"It was like two different games," Shattuck said. "In the first half, I was very impressed by them, but in the second, it was our game."

The boosters tight marking resulted in the second-half goal that broke open a nil-nil Crimson wingers Lane Kenworthy and Steve Higginson had been trucking the ball wherever it roamed in Dartmouth's half of the field, with halfbacks Leo Lanzillo and Welch filling in right behind them to constantly pressive the Green's back line.

Twenty-one minutes into the second stanzs, the checking paid off as Kenworthy stripped a Dartmouth midfielder and slipped a pass to senior striker Lance Ayrauit in the center of the pitch. The Crimson captain dribbled in a few yards and launched a bending right-footed rocket from 22 yards that bounced off the right post and Green goalie Ken Jones.

Shattuck said the man-to-man defense was not a new tactical addition. "The idea is to force the issue and take risks up front," he explained. He added that the move brought out the weakness that their four backs can't handle the half under pressure."

"We've done it in a few games, but that's the first time we've done it well," Shattuck basted.

Defensively, both teams adjusted for the field's lack of length. Crimson stopper Frank Ricapito and sweeper tan hardington pushed to the halfline to crowd the Dartmouth forwards into their own half, then would retreat before the ball could be played into Harvard's end.

The win in Hanover leaves Harvard at 3-4 for the season, and 2-1 in the Ivies. Their neat match is against Boston University tomorrow night at Nickerson Field.
