CRIMSON BOOTERS WILL MEET TUFTS AND EXETER TOMORROW

No Soccer Mainstays Leave; Allen Gets Captain's Post

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Coach Jack MacDonald will take his charges to their first real intercollegiate test tomorrow when the Crimson booters travel to Medford to engage a strong Tufts team. The second team will go to Exeter and try to make it two in a row over the prop school.

The soccer squad suffered no serious losses during the vacation period and all the mainstays of the team that fought the sailors of the French battleship Richelieu are back. The stars of that game, including Julio Ortega, and Herb Allen.

Teams Have Poor Records

The A team has played four games, with a record of three losses and a tie. Three of the games were against foreign service aggregations, the first two, a tie and a loss, being with the Fleet Air Arm of the British Navy, 3 to 3 and 7 to 1. Then the boys tangled with Worcester Poly, coming out on the had end of a 7 to 2 score. After that came the Richelieu, where the Frenchmen won, 3 to 1.

The B team, which will field, among others, Paul Pearson, Bob Feinberg, Paul Rogers, and Bob Regan, has kept practically intact throughout its four games. The B team lost to the Fleet Air Arm B team, 6 to 2 and 7 to 1, to Andover 2 to 0, and beat Exeter 2 to 1, giving it a 250 record, or 250 better than the A squad.

Jumbos Have Lost

Coach Jack MacDonald is as confident as a winless coach can be about tomorrow's game, since comparative scores in practice games with Medford High School appear to give the Crimson a slight edge, and fall departures have cost the Jumbos dearly.

Coach Polly Guyda's second squad will meet Exeter practically intact as the unit that beat them last time. In the last game the Crimson booters held Exeter scoreless until the last ten minutes, and the boot authorities look to them to repeat.

At practice Wednesday, Herbert S. Allen was elected captain of this term's soccer team. The election was followed by the regular practice period of an hour and a half of scrimmages in preparation for the two games scheduled tomorrow. Scrimmages were watched over by Coach MacDonald, while Polly took over occasional weak positions to show the boys how to do it.
