Tiger Soccer Team Rates Slight Margin Over Crimson Today

The Crimson soccer team will finally enter a contest almost evenly-matched today when it meets Princeton this morning at 11. The Tigers are only one notch higher in Ivy League standings than the last-place Crimson.

Coach Bruce Munro has shuffled his lineup extensively, and results against Penn Saturday partially justified the shift. Lack of depth, however, caught up with the Crimson again and the Quakers scored three quick goals in the final period, to win, 3 to 2.

Possible Upset

Although the Tigers rate a slight edge on performance over the season, the Crimson is ready after a week's rest and could easily pull off an upset. Munro's squad is at full strength, and even reserves have looked good in practice this week.

The outcome of the game will probably be determined by Harvard defensive play in late stages of the contest. The Crimson has consistently outplayed opponents early in the game, often building up a first half lead. But the team's lack of depth in the backfield inevitably causes defensive lapses in the final period which are costly.

Munro is expected to stick with Hank Holmes, Tom Bernheim, Jim Shue, Ken McIntosh, and Robin Magowan in the line (from left to right). John Felstiner, Captain Grey Hodnett, and Tony Oberschall will be at halfback, with Chris Provenson and Don Beaver at fullback. Elliot Finkelstein will be in the nets.
