Billionaire Investor Gerald Chan Under Scrutiny for Neglect of Historic Harvard Square Theater
Crimson booters will oppose the very best in Ivy soccer when they engage league leading Princeton at noon today on the Business School Field. So good, in fact, are the Tigers, that they haven't given up a goal in their last five games.
With last week's victory over Navy restoring a bit of Crimson prestige, Coach Bruce Munro's team is by no means a hopeless underdog. Princeton's five-game shutout streak doesn't overly impress the Crimson, for last year Harvard had such a streak of its own and was upset by mediocre Navy.
Princeton has come a long way since last season. Nassau's inexperienced 1948 team was beaten, 3 to 1, by a Harvard squad that was weakened by the after-effects of food poisoning. The difference between the 1948 and 1949 Tigers can be found in the addition of five or six exceptionally competent sophomores.

Harvard will probably be at full strength for today's battle, unless outside left Ted Wolf, who aggravated a thigh injury in Thursday's after-dark practice, can't make it.
Coach Munro is sticking to the same lineup that clicked against Navy last Saturday. This means that Jim Bell, a crasher, at center forward and Rick Drake, a good tackler, at center half. "Drake is our sparkplug," says Munro, "He's everywhere. He gets the ball and really feeds it forward."
The Crimson lineup:
