Princeton Booters Bow to Crimson

The Harvard soccer team, a squad that has not had a record of comebacks, staged a big one against Princeton last Saturday.

Deep into the fourth quarter, the Tigers held onto their 1-0 lead. Then, with six minutes showiwng, the Crimson's Chris Ohiri found the mark--quite by accident. His boot caused Princeton goalie Pete Svastich to dive to his right. But a Tiger fullback, Bill Hackett got there first, and deflected the ball into the empty part of the goal. Unartistic, perhaps, but enough to send the game into two five-minute overtimes.

Neither team scored in the first overtime. Late in the second five-minute period, sophomore Morgan Hudson drove a shot that grazed the cross-bar and landed inside the goal, giving the Crimson its fourth victory of the season.

Brown Leads League

Saturday's win moved Harvard into a three-way tie with Penn and Princeton for second place in the Ivy League. Brown beat Cornell 4 to 1 on the same day to take a strong hold on first place. With a 6-0 record, the Bruins have already clinched at least a tie for the Ivy title. The Crimson could conceivably tie for the crown with victories in its next two games--Brown and Yale.

Out on the muddy, muddy Business School field, it was a contest between the Crimson's fine ball control and the Tigers' power plays. Ohiri wasn't the only man on the field who could blast the ball.

The Tiger fullback Omats Omatete transformed Crimson drives into Princeton offensives with kicks that cleared mid-field every time. From there, right inside Okura Wawa and center Webb Harrison could boot the ball the rest of the way.

The freshman team beat Princeton 4-2.
