Soccer Team Expects Little Trouble in Tufts Tilt Today

According to comparative scores, historical indications, and the condition of the Crimson players, the Varsity soccer team should find this afternoon's contest with Tufts more of scoring drill than a tight game.

The Jumbos and the Crimson play at 3 p.m. on the Business School field.

The Tufts eleven opened into season this year by losing, 7 to 0, to Amherst, a team which the Crimson later blanked, 3 to 0. The Jumbos then dropped a 5 to 0 affair to the University of Connecticut, and finally, last Saturday, scored their first goal and beat Fort Devens, one of the weakest teams in this area, by a 1 to 0 score.

In recent years, the Tufts booters have made a habit of losing to Harvard, although during the war--with the aid of a talented West Indian forward--they made two games close. This year, however, they have no West Indians on their team.

Coach Bruce Munro's charges suffered no permanent ill effects from their 3 to 0 victory over Army last weekend although several squad members were bruised in the contest. Right wing Jon Spivak, who sustained a slight concussion at West Point, has been declared ready to play by the medical department.
