CRIMSON BOOTERS FIGHT SCORELESS DEADLOCK WITH BROWN ON WET FIELD

On a cold and muddy Business School field the Crimson soccer team fought a nip and tuck battle with the Brown eleven Saturday that ended in a scoreless tie in spite of the overtime period This deadlock, the second of the year, will put the Carrmen's record at four wins, two defeats and two ties when they meet the undefeated Yale team next week.

With a wet ball and a slippery field each team's offense was under par. In the first half, the Crimson had a hard time getting organized, and so no sustained scoring drive could be produced. Since the Bruins had the same trouble, most of the action was centered in the middle of the field.

But in the third period the Carrmen got under way, and led by Danny Poor and Buzz Sawhill they threatened the Brown nets several times, but a score wasn't in the books, for each attack was finally repulsed. During the fourth period the Bruins took over and made more than one serious stab through the Crimson defense. Owing to the sparkling work of goalie Jack Penson, none of these drives ended in scoring. The overtime period found the mud and cold telling on the players' efficiency, as their efforts became sluggish and the deadlock was not broken.

Saturday's game also offered an interesting family angle. Jack Calhoun's brother, Bob, was the Brown goalie, and it was Jack's ambition to score on him. Unfortunately Calhoun was injured in the second period before he had much chance to do anything. But Bob stayed on and did an outstanding job protecting the Bruin pay dirt.

Yale is next Saturday's opponent, and their record shows no defeats. Yesterday they tied the same Princeton team that beat the Carrmen 5 to 0 in the rain. But in spite of this impressive showing the team will be encouraged by the return of halfback Bill Edgar who was injured in the Springfield game.

In the Freshman tilt, the Yardlings wiped away a one goal Bruin lead with scores in the third period. But the Cubs came back in the last canto to boot in another one to make the game a 2 to 2 tie.
