The freshman soccer team marred a perfect record Saturday when it tied the University of Connecticut, 0-0.
The normally powerful scoring punch of Solomon Gomez and peter Bogovich was stymied by a virtually eleven man defense put up by the UConns. Harvard's coach Dana H. Getchell '53, asked about such tactics, commented, "there's nothing in the rule book that says you can't use it." His team has faced such fall-back methods since the second game of the year with M.I.T. The reason for Connecticut's relative success was, in Getchell's opinion, the advantage of playing on their home field.
"The field was extremely narrow and short, and with eleven men crowded into one half of it for most of the game, it was virtually impossible for Harvard to put the ball through. This, plus the fact that the field was wet, and the Harvard players had difficulty maintaining their balance, gave the UConns the tie.
